Oracle 9i on Windows 98: Who is user 'P08'?

Hi there,
I just installed Oracle Personal Edition 9.0.1.1.0 on my Win98 machine. I went with all the defaults, and told the installer to create a database for me. Everything seemed to install fine, and I wrote down the global name, SID, etc.
I start the database via the Windows menu "Start: Programs: Oracle: Database Administration: Start Oracle9i Database". Type in the password, and everything starts fine.
Then I go to the Oracle 9i Navigator. I see an icon that says "Local Database", so I click on it, and it says "Invalid username/password". Note: This is the first time that I have ever visited this database.
I right click on "Local Database", and I see that this icon has a "Username: P08" and an obscured password.
I have no idea who "PO8" is, the installer never mentioned anything about this user, I can't find any information about this user in the docs, and I have no idea what the password should be.
I've tried the following passwords, but none of these work:
PO8 (and p08, po8, pO8, etc).
tiger (since that's what 'scott' uses)
demo
password
test
manager
change_on_install
"" (blank)
What is the password? Who is this "PO8" user? It seems that P08 is a generic name for "Personal Oracle 8", Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

(Try #2. The BBS truncated my post.)
What is the password? Who is this "PO8" user? It seems that P08 is a generic name for "Personal Oracle 8", but I'm using 9i, and Oracle 8 has never been installed on this machine.
And since this is a local database, I cannot change the password with an "ALTER USER P08 IDENTIFIED BY password" command in Sqlplus.
Thanks for your help,

How to move oracle 9i from windows to linux

i have 200GB database running on windows 2003 server and oracle 9i release 2 database. but now i want to move to linux with same database release. please guide me what to do?

Hi
on windows database you just export your full database with following command.
exp userid=scott/tiger@db_name file=d:\backup\exp01.dmp,d:\backup\exp02.db, ......., d:\backup\exp0n.dmp filesize=1024m full=yes log=d:\backup\export_log.log
you can export your database by sys or system or user who has exp_full_database role
like
grant exp_full_database to scott;
after successfully installation of oracle on linux you create all the users at linux database which are non default users in your windows database.
grant all necessay privileges to these users
grant unlimited tablesapce quota on newly created users at linux database.
after checking all disk space on linux your start import process at linux server. with following command
imp userid=scott/tiger@db_name file=/home/oracle/exp01.dmp,/home/oracle/exp02.db, .......,/home/oracle/exp0n.dmp full=yes ignore=yes
log=/home/oracle/import_log.log
ignore=yes parameter will overwrite those tables and rows which are already present in the new database( linux database).
you can import your database by sys or system or user who has imp_full_database role
like
grant imp_full_database to scott;
after successfully import process you will comile all your indexes constraints, jobs, store procedure because during import process these object become invalid.
you dont worry about linux all oracle command which are run on windows all these commands run on linux.
but oracle installation on linux is different as compare to windows.
following url will guide you for the oracle 9i installation on redhat linux.

hope it will guide you

Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

My Windows 7 crashed a couple days ago after a windows update, I got this message.
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
I restarted the machine and got this message
Windows was unable to load the registry. This problem is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. for C:\Users\TEMP\ntuser.dat
I checked the event Log I found these .

I started up the PC and the first message I got was

The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

hi do the following
1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
2. If prompted click yes,
3. expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
something similair)
5. right click the sid and press delete.
6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

Connect from Windows Client to Oracle 10g for Windows 64-bit

Have an environment currently running Oracle 10g 32-bit on Windows 2000 Standard, and need to migrate to Oracle 10g 64-bit for Windows. Users connect to the 10g 32-bit database using the Oracle Client for Windows 10g loaded on remote PC's. If we migrate to the Oracle 10g 64-bit on Windows 2003 Server Enteprise Edition 64-bit, what type of client do I have to install on the PC's to access the Oracle 10g 64-bit database?
Any ehlp/insight will be greatly appreciated.
Eduardo in Michigan

In addition to install 32-bit Oracle client to 32-bit Windows OS, you need to know whether your application is compiled to run in 32-bit or 64-bit.
This is critical because 32-bit application can not see 64-bit Oracle ODBC and OLE DB provider.
For example, MS SQL Server 2005 uses 32-bit DTS, and SSIS, which needs 32-bit Oracle client
If you don't know, get a copy of both 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle client, and try one-by-one to know for sure. Please be aware that if regsvr32.exe in the Windows has been overwritten by older software installation, it won't register some DLL properly, and Oracle ODBC, or OLE DB won't show up as well

How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
Thanks in advance
Mayank Adhikari

The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
Toad 9.7.x.x
SQL Developer
SQL/Plus
Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.

Host Credential Problem in Oracle 10g on Windows

Hi,
I have another problem that is really bothering me. I
have tried using Oracle database 10g on Windows XP and
it works fine till you shut down and attempt to
restart (or any administrative task)with the EM. It
asks for the Database and Host credentials but always
rejects the Host credentials. Now because i only have
the Administrator as the OS user, i try to give this
user and it's password and it still doesn't accept
that.
What could be the problem??? I infact have realized
that this problem is NOT there if i use 10.1.0 on Red
Hat Linux AS 3 because for the host credentials i use
the OS user Oracle and the password (Owner of Oracle
Installation)and it goes through fine.
In Windows, what should i do to rectify this problem.
Or is it a bug with Oracle on Windows. Or where should
i get the relevant Host credentials Oracle requests on
Windows or should i create a user??? Please
HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Austine

That could be the 'Log on as a batch job' problem. See here:

TNS 12549 error on installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP Home?

Hi,
I installed Oracle 10g on Windows XP Home by clicking on Disk1\install\setup (NOT Disk1\setup as instructed since that did not work). Everything seemed to go fine except towards the end of the install I got a whole bunch of errors saying that "operating system resource quota exceeded". There were options to Ignore or Abort at most of these stages. I chose Ignore and the whole install seemed to complete but I am not able to connect to the database using sqlPlus. I looked at the log files created where I saw a whole bunch of errors in several files. For example in sqlnet log, I saw this error (among others) appeneded below. It seems obvious that some resource quotas were exceeded but I am not able to figure out exactly what quotas should be increased. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

XP Home is not supported, despite of this some people get oracle to work.
But in your case, possibly your machine has simply not enough resources, 12549 is a very generic error. Check the hardware requirements in the installation guide.

External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Thank you for your reply.
Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

Hi all
We create two partitions C 80 Gb, D 300 GB on HP Server XEON Dual Processor with 6GB installed with Windows 2008 Std. Edition server 32 Bit
We try to install Oracle 10g 32 Bit - We get the following problems
a) By default it should take the highest partion i.e d:\oracle\product etc.
but it takes c:\users\administrator\documnets\oracle\product which is wrong
However we correct it by typing the correct path. Brows does not take to D partition
b) On proceeding further - >Installation aborts and and we get messages
unknowkn , unknown etc. for 3-4 aspects.
Windows 2008 server has service pack 1 installed. We installed Service Pack 2 also but without any benefit. Further we also tried to install after removing all firewall , anitvirus etc. but again of no use.
User connected was administrator while installation of Oracle 10g 32 Windows.
We never get any problem with the same CD /Dump on Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server
Kindly suggest some remedy

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: Can't start with any account but Local System

Fresh install of Oracle 10g on Windows 2003. I install as a member of the local admin group and everything works great. The various services are starting as Local System, though, and I'd prefer to set them up to start as a specific domain user account.
When I make that change, however, I can't get any of the Oracle related services to start. I've added this domain user to the local ora_dba group on my server, given it the ability to log on as a batch job and log on as a service in the local security policy. Doesn't seem to help.
I saw a thread that implied using a domain user account wasn't supported (didn't seem right to me, but what the hell), so I created a local user account and tried that. Same result.
Something I'm missing?
Thanks.

What is missing, I suspect, is reading the installation docs.
http://docs.oracle.com
If that doesn't work then come back and ask specific requestions referencing the appropriate document and naming the actual version you are trying to install (ps 10g is a marketing name not a version number).

Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit

We are running Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit Edition. I am NOT a DBA, so forgive my ignorance.
We have 16GB of physical memory in this server. I was told by a DBA that Oracle runs on "a single process", and because of that, he said that Windows Server 2003 Standard will only allow 2GB max for a single process.
Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

This sounds more lika a Windows issue. If both Windows and app is "64-bit", I would expect the user virtual address space (per process) to be in the TiB range, if not larger.
(The said 2GiB limit applies to a 32-bit system.)

Oracle 10g on Windows - How to connect?

May be this is a small one, I dont know how to connect to sql in windows.
I installed oracle 10g on Windows XP SP3, choosing basic Installation.

In Linux we use sqlplus '/as sysdba' to connect and we get sql> prompt.
In windows how to connect or get SQL> prompt?

You can remove the quotes. Like Unix, this only works by default if you are connected as operating system user owner of Oracle Database software installation.

Ora 12203 in oracle 8i on windows 7

dear all
i have been install oracle 8i on windows 7 by using the way of right click on the EXE file and choose the compatibility with windows XP service pack2
all installation is finished very well but there is a little problem happened when i try to enter to DataBase as below
ORA - 12203 : TNS: unable to connect to the destination
please help me with this error because it is so important to still working on ORACLE 8i
thanks

Please don't mind. I didn't meant to insult you in anyways. It was your statement which did bring laugh and probably, that wasn't appropriate but I couldn't stop myself from doing so. There are numerous new features which the latest releases has offered. So saying that 8i is more reliable than the other versions is a sort of wrong statement . It may be but compared to version 8 just it was from 7.3 and the story goes on. 9i changed the way database was working. 10g, 11g took it to another levels. So your statement is actually not correct. On top of everything, 8i is long time back, desupported which means using it now is really not a good idea for a production system unless you are not an esteem customer who is still enjoying support for it from oracle. Also, you are attempting to install it on the most latest o/s which never certified 8i to run over it ( and neither it would ever will do too) so I believe, you may get errors for sure and unfortunately, no one would suggest you anything about it since the whole combo of yours is unsupported.
Now, you keep on asking about the solution to your problem . Did you read the error descripition that I posted about the error somewhere above? Have you tried the action mentioned in it? If yes, what was the result?
