Oracle 9i on Windows XP !!

Hi all,
I have recently installed Oracle9i database on Windows XP on my personal computer.
First of all I could not find the equivalent of Control Panel > Services on Windows XP. Secondly how do i make my database service manual,so that it does not start whenever i start my machine.
( I remember that on Windows NT the database service could be set to manual from automatic from the Control Panel > Services option ).
Thanks for your time.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services or
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Services and Applications
This is the same standard as Windows 2000

    I guess it's designed so that it does not have to reload the Background Engine everytime you run the next report.
    Maybe in your case you do not run reports frequently, but in our office report runs are quite often so it's a feature that is quite welcomed.

  • Oracle XE on Windows Vista beta 2

    Production release of XE on Vista beta 2 runs fine.
    http://prpi.blogspot.com/2006/06/oracle-xe-on-windows-vista-beta-2.html

    Hi tom,
    So what your saying is that if i really need to run
    oracle9i on my vista home premium i should just go
    ahead and dual boot my laptop with MS windows XP?You must use a certified OS, 9i has never been supported for windows vista, and most probably it won't be supported. If you want to install an RDBMS you should install at least 10.2.0.3.0, as stated on my previous post.
    Vista would just be a host opertating system, in case of using Virtual Machine Software, if you are planning to install 9iR2, and use a certified OS as listed in the [https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/certify/certify.istore_welcome]Oracle Certify Matrix

  • Oracle 9i on Windows XP Pro

    We are looking at installing Oracle 9i (Release 2) on a desktop here for testing purposes. We used to have Oracle installed on a 2000 Pro machine but we had a lot of problems with it and were informed that it was known that Windows 2000 Pro and Oracle didnt get along.
    I am trying to find out if there is similar problems with Oracle 9i and Windows XP Pro. Are there any issues that I should know of?
    Thanks in advance.
    Trevor

    Trevor,
    I doubt there are any problems with 9i on XP that can't be handled. I used it for some time on that same OS without problems though I didn't do a great amount of work with it. Check the release notes they should say something about that.

  • Istalling oracle 11g on windows vista

    Hi,
    i need to install oracle 11g on windows vista, unfortunately i cannot able do to that, becase after double cliking on the setup a messege like this one came out:
    OUI-10151: There was an error while loading library.generalQueries. Stop installation of all products, Stop installation on this component.
    I've found on internet some work around of this problem BUT only on linux machine, no one as telling me some way to fix my problem on windows vista.
    I also tried using oui to deinstall any previews installed version but oiu tell me that there's not any installation of oracle.
    any suggest is really appreciate
    regards
    Francesco

    By 11g I am assuming you mean 11.1.0.6 (11gR1). Pl post which Vista version you are using - 11gR1 is certified to be installed only on Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

  • I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008

    Hi
    I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008.
    While installing third CD it shows the following error message
    "jrew.exe has stopped working"
    Please guide me what to do next as early as possible.
    Thanks

    Why?
    The general policy of Oracle is very simple:
    it certifies against the current version of the OS.
    It never re-certifies against new releases of the OS.
    Windows 2008 didn't exist when Oracle 9i was released.

  • Install Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have a problem Installing Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium, I cant install it because it throws me an error message saying that is incompatible with my version of Windows. It is possible to install it with some patch or something??
    Message was edited by:
    user599646

    The only patch I know of is called Windows XP.
    In case you have not done any internet searches on this, even Oracle Database 10g was not compatible with Vista until Oracle applied some heavy patches and re-released it.
    And since Oracle9i is officially deprecated (nearest thing to obsolete as to make no difference) I see no reason for Oracle to backport the patches.

  • Oracle 9i in windows vista

    Dear all,
    I am trying to install oracle 9i release 1 into a laptop running windows vista. the installation is very very slow and terminate with an error.
    Is Vista not compatible with oracle 9i? What if i install oracle 10g in windows vista?
    Please someone to assist me.
    Thanks in advance

    Windows vista doesn't seem to be worried about old software, and oracle doesn't seem to be worried about upgrading old software. Oracle 9iR1 is not supported for Windows Vista, the only supported and certified version is 10gR2 specific for windows vista (10.2..0.3.0).

  • JRE Error : while Install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a Oracle 10gR2 on windows server 2003.
    I have unziped the files and when I run the oui.exe it gives the below error:
    cannot find any matches for wildcard specification "../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.5.0.0./1/DataFiles/*.jar
    Error : JRE missing in Scratch Path
    I tried changing the oraparmaini file but it did not allow to make any changes.
    Not sure if its looking for any particular java files.
    What should i edit ,to specify the java location.
    Thanks

    What exactly did you unzip? This error occurs if there are several zip-files extracted to different target locations. But - if I remember correctly - 10gR2 database is only one zip-file, so you should not face this issue. JRE for OUI is part of the downloaded software,so you don't need to specify a location for JRE, OUI knows where to find this.

    can we install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS ???
    While doing sqlplus from command prompt,
    it's giving error like
    'SP2-1503 Unable to initialise Oracle Call interface'
    'SP2-0152 Oracle may not be functioning Properly'
    How to troubleshoot the above errors,
    Has anybody tried it ???
    Plz assist.

    No Oracle product is certified against any Windows Home OS.
    As Vista was released after Oracle 10gR2, 10gR2 is not certified against any edition of Vista.
    You need to downgrade to XP, or install Linux.

  • Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: instance not autostarting

    I'm installing Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on two new Windows 2003 servers, and I'm facing the same problem, even after some full re-installations, on both of them; so this issue seems to be some kind of bug related to Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 and not just some random error.
    When I run the installation it completes fine, and the database instance gets created and started without any trouble; I can connect to it using the console, the Java stand-alone Enterprise Manager, SQL Plus or anything else; it works when connecting from clients, too.
    As soon as the server is rebooted, Oracle services start but it just seems the instance isn't actually started: any connection is refused by the listener which complains about not knowing the supplied instance name, and the oracle.exe process only uses about 11 MB of memory, which is a sure sign it isn't doing anything useful. The instance is configured to start, the registry keys are properly set, and everything works correclty after the installation... but stops working after the first server reboot.
    I tried manually stopping and starting the services, in various orders; I tried re-installing Oracle various times; I tried deleting and re-creating the database instance, both at setup time or manually after the setup was done without creating an instance, I tried anything I could think of.
    The only thing I didn't try was applying patch set 10.2.0.3 to the installation, but I just can't seem to find them, even though my company has an Oracle partnership; I find Metalink just a bit too confusing.
    Can someone please help?
    P.S.
    The servers are actually VMWare ESX virtual servers, but I just can't imagine this to be the cause of the problem. The operating system on both servers is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (not R2), italian language, with service pack 2 and all the latest updates from Windows Update. The servers are not domain members and I'm running the installation using the local Administrator account.

    I don't have a physical server available now, but I really can't even imagine how the underlying hardware, be it physical or virtual, could affect this behaviour. I'm talking about the Oracle service starting while the instance isn't, this is very unlikely to have any relationship with device drivers.

  • 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
