Oracle 9i Personal Edition Lean Install

I want to install Oracle 9i Personal Edition on a Windows Box(NT/2000/XP). I would like to make it as lean as possible (ie. minimal disk space, minimal services, etc). The databases deployed on this would have tables, procs, functions, views, packages, sequences, users & roles. Any tips on how to minimize what is installed? tia.

I downloaded Oracle 9i Personal edition from Oracle.com.
Installed the same on Win Me with a starter database.
I am not able to open the database since it asks me to enter a password which i've never entered.
I am not able to create a session. The moment I try to create a session on SQL, the database starts opening but i cannot get further since it asks for the password.
Please Help. Try using the generic username of scott & the generic pw of tiger. Hope this helps Hi,
Try this from dos prompt
c:\> set oracle_sid=<sid_value>
c:\> sqlplus system/manager
Can you elaborate what you meant when you say "the database starts opening" ? What is the error number and error message you are getting?

Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
Hope it works.

Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
Thanks,
tulip

Oracle 8 personal edition - Installation problem

Dear Sirs,
I want install on windows xp the database Oracle 8 Personal Edition.
I select to install only the database standard without the reply.
Start the installatin and when dependency analysis oracle give the error:
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: Type mismatch in argument '0' when calling 'contains'
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: 'STRING' expected when 'LIST' found.
Can you help me?
I know that this version of DB is not supported. But I must a test.

This combination, to my knowledge, was never certified. If I am not wrong, you need to find a Windows 98 SE/2000 setup for running this personal edition successfully.

PL/SQL does not work in Oracle 8i Personal Edition

I just installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Win 98. Everything works perfectly, except the PL/SQL.
Then I tried to install Oracle 8i EM, but I always get the listener or adapter error. Even when I tried to start the listener from lsnrctl prompt, it gives me those errors. Anyone can help?

You need use correct type when you create object.
Don't forget object in reality is a memory pointer,
so what if you don't allocate correct memory in creation,
you can't treat object as subtype.
And meanwhile, it doesn't depend on Oracle version -
your example doesn't work in 9.2.0.1 for example.
SQL> declare
2 super one_t;
3 sub two_t := two_t(1, sysdate);
4 begin
5 super := two_t(1, sysdate);
6 sub := treat(super as two_t);
7 dbms_output.put_line('sub ' || sub.x || ' ' || sub.y );
8 select treat(super as two_t) into sub from dual;
9 dbms_output.put_line('super ' || super.x || ' ' || super.y );
10 if sub is null then
11 dbms_output.put_line('stupid');
12 end if;
13 if sub is of (two_t) then
14 dbms_output.put_line('stupid');
15 end if;
16 end;

Does Oracle 8i personal edition has Pro*C ?

Does Oracle 8i personal edition has Pro C precompiler in it? I installed Oracle 8i but removed it long back so forgot if it has ProC in it... If its not there, is it available somewhere to download from? Thanks.

Oracle8i client installation will provide you with the Pro*C pre-compiler.

Oracle 10g Personal edition as a Client Database

Hi, Our enterprise application runs as in both Online and offline mode. For offline mode it uses Microsoft accesss as Data Store. Now we want to use Oracle 10g Personal Edition as Our client database, so that we can use stored procedure and have code base for both server and client. Oracle XE can not be used because Oracle XE is not supported by Oracle.
Please suggest what is the best way to deploy Oracle PE to get smallest footprint and best performance. It is alright to use PE as client DB or it is too much for offline application.
Any suggested customizations or Alternatives. We have rules out Oracle Database lite because it doesn't support Pl/ SQL SP. Thanks.

Note that Personal Edition is actually designed for Developers. It includes all options to the Enterprise Edition (except RAC) but is limited by license agreement to being used by one named person. You can not legally provide data from Personal Edition through direct connection electronically (eg: a web or app server) to several people. You also can not say "John is using it now, and when he is off, Fred will use it."
The best and smallest footprinit is XE, but (as you say) you can not purchasse support from Oracle. Next is Standard Edition 1, with a Standard Edition software install (SE and SE1 are the same s/w) and a custom-created DB.

Oracle 8i Personal Edition Installation on Windows ME

Hi,
I am assuming that Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Windows 98 will work on Windows Me too. First of all, is this assumption valid ? If yes, then I am facing a problem right at the start of the installation. After specifying the File location path (For source path, the default is 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\STAGE\products.jar'. I have not changed this. For destination path,(oracle home path), I am specifying it as 'C:\Program Files\Oracle'. After this I get an error as follows - 'There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid.'
I am stuck up at this point. Please let me know what could be the problem.

I had this same problem with this same installation on ME. After a smooth installation with PO 8, I suspected spaces in path names, since the 8i install appears to be java based. If you go into windows regedit (Win ME does not read from autoexec.bat), and search for oracle home, and all 'home' paths you have tried specifying in the initial 8i install interface, upon editing your oracle home path, you may find a space character discreetly tucked at the end of that path name. What's more, just correcting your paths through regedit may only temporarily solve your problem. Also search/correct your prompt. A quick verification of this is if, from a dos window, your prompt looks like:
C:\> _
(notice the space between the > and _ characters) I think this is either a MS bug, or an image disk install bug, and suspect, after reading of your same problem, it comes from MS.
Hope this helps,
KJ

Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98

I am having problems installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98. The install is hanging at the same place every time.
The installer works fine, but at the end of the install, when the Oracle Configuration Assistant tries to create the new database, the system "hangs". On a Gateway PC, there were fatal exceptions about VxD and vVMM. I finally had to power down the PC. I tried again and got the same error.
On a Compaq PC, when the Configuration Assistant started, it tried to access my floppy drive and opened a console window with "Abort, Retry, Fail". I chose "Abort" and the configuration continued, but the system hung when trying to start the Oracle instance.
I am evaluating different software packages and need to install Oracle in order to test them.
Thanks for your help.

if you go to iSelfSchooling.com, you will find Oracle Installation Issues on Windows. It gives a list of "default usernames and passwords" and also states that you can leave the HOST name blank to get at the starter database.
