Oracle 9i Lite/Sql Plus Installation Instructions?

I am having the same problem with install Oracle 9i Lite. Really I need to get SQL PLUS up and running. I am installing it in Windows 98 and would like to use it on a stand alone pc/home pc.
I ended up just installing sql plus without net8 and other mobile server components because I don't know what the port name and hostname is. I am just trying to get sql plus to work.
After just installing sql plus, I get the same login username/password/host string. I think you can log in as SYSDBA or SYSOPER but what is the password and host string. I am not running sql plus from a server/internet I would like it to be stand alone. I know the host string has something to do with what type connection is being used but I don't have any (other than aol dial up connection) so I would just like to run sql on a stand alone pc!!! HELP!!

Did your SQL*Plus install include create a database to connect to? I think a quick thing to check would be:
Do you have a valid tnsnames.ora in $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin
(address = is on one line)
ie:
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orcl.localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.localhost)
Where orcl is the name of the database you want to connect
to and local host is your machine. (Check Network configuration). If you are on a network you will replace with orcl.mynet.com
I think for a standalone SQL install they might expect you are on a NetWork and have a database to connect to. Maybe
you should download the whole install for standalone use...
9i and 8.1.7 are available for download. (8.1.7 is a little smaller and doesn't require as much memory depending on your home system)
I'm not even sure what you are trying to do. Please post more details if this doesn't help.

How to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus .

how to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus . ???

First you need to check whether your HR schema is still unlocked or not? If it is locked - then you have to unlock it. And, then you can connect the Hr schema.
But, i'm not sure - why you need system to log into the HR schema?

First Login to Oracle 9i Personal SQL Plus after installation

I downloaded the Opacle 9i for Windows NT/2000/XP,3 ZIP
fiels andI extracted them into 3 special folders disk1,
disk2 and disk3 according the instructions.Also I
installed the JRE which is required for that.After the
installation of Oracle 9,when I wanted to use the SQL Plus
I could not do it because I had no the first login User
Name and Password.
For example,in Oracle 7 Personal for Windows 95 and in
Oracle 8i Personal for Windows 98,the first login User
Name is "scott" and the Password is "tiger".
I shall be great thankfull to you if you will let me know
how to perform the first login to the SQL Plus of Oracle
9i (User Name and Password).
With Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

in oracle9i all default users account are lock by default. so if you want to connect
first when you open sqlplus in user name type "/nolog"
sqlplus will open with no connection then issue the command.
conn / as sysdba
alter user scott account unlock;
conn scott/tiger
that is the procedure

SQL Plus Installation

Trying to install the SQL Plus 10g. After completion, could not login. I un-installed (I thought) it through Vista control panel. Now want to re-install, ran the IOU. In the Selection Installation Method window, selected Basic, typed the password and confirmed, click next. On Product Specific Prerequisite Check window, click next
I'm getting a message, "The SID you have specified already exists on the machine, please specify a different SID."
How do I specify a different SID and complete the re-installation process? Thanks for helping. John

Edited by: 804479 on Oct 22, 2010 1:52 PMThere are so many things wrong with this I hardly know where to begin.
First, before we even get to the issue at hand .. when you you respond to someone's post by editing your original, it is next to impossible for people who come along later (like me, right now) to make any sense of where the discussion stands. Keep the conversation moving forward with new messages. Once a message is responded to, do not go back and edit it. Also, when responding to a message, it is best to quote a least the significant part to which you are responding. This also helps other to know exactly what your response is addressing.
Now, as far as your installation problem ... did you actually read the installation guide?
As pointed out, sqlplus is not a stand-alone installation. It is simply a command line interpreter (CLI) that is part of the oracle client bundle. you get it by installing either the client or the database (which installs the client as well).
Second, oracle 10 is not certified on Vista. And while you don't mention the version of Vista, it's worth pointing out that NO oracle product is certified on ANY home version of ANY Windows OS.
I don't understand how you could event think you un-installed it through Vista control panel. That's not how oracle installations work, and I don't think it would even show up there to attempt to uninstall it that way.
The error message you got concerning the sid indicates your first installation probably went OK, and you installed the db server software and created database.
So at that point you couldn't log on so decided to un-install and reinstall. That's like tearing down your house and rebuilding it just because you couldn't find the door key. If you had stopped right there and asked for help it would have been relatively easy to work through the problem. Now it's anyone's guess as to exactly what you have.
It is possible - quite easy actually, but not for the faint of heart - to rip oracle out by the roots on a windows system. It involves stopping any oracle related services, deleting a key from the registry, and deleting two directories from the disk. That would let you get a clean start and is sometimes necessary when dealing with a completely broken installation. But why don't we try to fix what we have before we go there.
You must tell us the following:
EXACTLY what version AND edition of Windows you are installing this on.
Exactly how you attempted to install. What file did you execute? What choices were you presented with and what choices did you make?
Do you have any oracle related services running - see the Services control panel. All oracle related services begin with "ora".
And remember, "doesn't work" is not a valid error code or message.

Thank You for trying to help.
I did as you told me in your reply but I am sorry to tell
you that it did not worked.I steel demanded
Password.
If there is another thing that you forgot or you know
another way to solve that problem then I shall
be great thankful to you if you will let me know.
You can reply to E-Mail [email protected]
With Many Thanks and Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

it is very strange you still not got the solution because i read the sotion which work good on my system.
do you remember the password which you gave during the installation of oracle database on you system . If so then your system user pass will the same.
so when you click sql*plus enter user name => system
and in Password field enter the password which you gave during installation . If you gave no password during installation then the password of user 'system' will be 'manager' so enter this information. and do the same processes which I told you.
Thankyou.

Not able to connect Oracle DBXE from sql*plus client

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10gXE from oracle site. i have updated the tnsnames.ora also
but when i try to connect the db through sql*plus client, i am redirected to .net debugger.
Pls help me in this,
Thanks in advance.
-- Raja

Hello,
Can you clarify what you are trying to connect from? If it's B1 ( one ) then post to the [B1 forum|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa#44].
Otherwise need more info on the product you are using?
Typically the Oracle Path must be in the PATH statement as well it requires the correct platform ( 32 or 64 ) bit client installed.
Most BOE/CR products are 32 bit so you need to install the 32 bit client.

Making connection to Oracle 9i via SQL Plus - Mark

Hi,
I am unable to connect to oracle 9i via dos prompt or SQL Plus.
I installed the satabase on windows.
The SID is obiwan. Please help, already browsed similar topics and its not happening.
Thanks in advance.

The Listener is the process that is listening for incoming remote connections to the DB(s).
Database and Listener have Windows services, and services have to be started. Also, from DOS prompt you can do :
C:\> lsnrctl stat
to see if the Listener is active : the result should be the list of active DB(s).
To connect locally to the DB do the following :
C:\> set ORACLE_SID=obiwan
C:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
The result should be something like SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Dom Apr 10 16:58:32 2005
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
SQL>If the result is something like : SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Dom Apr 10 17:01:29 2005
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> then it means that the DB is not up. In this case try :
SQL> startup
That way you are connected as sysdba, you can startup and shutdown the DB, create users, and so on. Do not use this connection to create objects (tables, indexes and so on) :
create an user, using the command "create user" (See [url http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/toc.htm]Sql documentation), and connect as that user, for example
SQL> conn scott/tiger
or, at DOS prompt
C:\> sqlplus scott/tiger
If you create a TNS alias, as I said before, you can use that as connection string from DOS prompt
C:\> sqlplus scott/tiger@<TNS alias>
or using SqlPlus in the Oracle menu.

Oracle 9i Database SQL*PLUS

Hi, I just downloaded Oracle 9i Database for use with

Logging into ORACLE 9I using SQL*PLUS.TNS Error

I have installed Oracle 9i for windows and am trying to login using SQL*PLUS
user: system
pwd: manager
Host String: BHURU
It says TNS could resolve service name.
I have all the services running in the admin monitor.
Am I missing something? Please advise.

Can you post your tnsnames.ora file contents and listener.ora contents here?
There may be tons of things wrong with the error actually,
ORA-12154:     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Cause:     A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

SQL*Plus Installation Problem (Ora-12705)

Hi,
I bought a guide to sql featuring Oracle by phillip J.Pratt published by course Technology include Oracale8i Personal Edition realease 8.1.5 for Microsoft Window 98 and Oracle Developer 6.0. I follow the documentation to install. I think i got right configuration (i have the tnslsnr window display and Oracle8i database started) but when I login (user:system and password:manager)it doen't work and it give me the error Ora-12705: invalid or unknow NLS parameter value specified. What can i do with this? I appreciate for yours help.

I got this error message too when I install the 9i client in my pc. You can find the NLS_LANG in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If you have multiple oracle home, you might need to check each of the entry.
I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.

thanks a lot.

Hi
Oracle Navigator is part of Personal Oracle7 and Oracle Lite. I don't know is it available in 8i Personal Edition but I am sure that it is not part of Standard and Enterprise Edition.

Downloading and installing Oracle (with sql plus) on Windows 7 Professional

Hi,
I got a new laptop which has Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). I intend to download Oracle 10g and would like to install bothe the database and the sql plus in this system.
I would appreciate if somebody could provide me a link to the appropriate database (with sql plus installation capability). Also if available the installation guide.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). I intend to download Oracle 10g and would like to install bothe the database and the sql plusOracle *10g* is not certified on Windows *7*, except with the latest patchset *10.2.0.5*, and its Premium Support ended on the *31st of July 2010*.
You should download Oracle *11.2* which is certified on Windows *7 - 64 bit*.
You'll find the Documentation and Download tabs on the link below:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/overview/index.html
About SQLPlus, it's delivered with Oracle Server and, in *11g*, you can still use it from a DOS box. If you intend to have a Graphical Tool, you should use Oracle SQL Developer instead:

Hope this help.
