Oracle Client vs Oracle Database

Hi all, I am trying to istall Oracle 9i database on my laptop and I have a few questions. Does the Oracle 9i Database include the Oracle client or di I have to install them seperately?
I have Oracle 8i database running on my system, do I need to uninstall it before installing Oracle 9i or they can both co-exist?
I will appreciate your insight on these questions. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
client software is integrated into server software. It's possible to have both concurrently, 8i and 9i, on your machine. But, especially since this is laptop and not a server machine,
pay attention to the system requirements.

How-To install SOAP Client Stack in Oracle Database

Hi,
1. i wrote a java clientstub that accesses a webservice.
2. all works fine if i run it from within java.
3. i then tried to port it to oracle database.
4. loading the java classes defined in the sample code works fine too.
5. i then loaded my client (wrapper and client-stub) classes and made pl/sql procedure from the wrapper.
6. i try to access the webservice
the problem:
1. if i made step 5 in SYS-SCHEMA all is ok
2. if i made step 5 in an other SCHEMA i got an exception in step 6:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
the code line is pointing to: m_httpConnection = new OracleSOAPHTTPConnection();
this is located in the client-stub class constructor
there exist synonyms of all classes in the public schema.
is it a problem with priviledges, and if what priviledges are required?
if this isn't the best way to access webservices from within oracle database, what other solutions are possible?
if more information are required, please let me know
thanks
ralf

Hi,
Refer to this document for information on loading SOAP jar files to the database.
The database schema you are using needs to be granted the following permission to access the external web service
execute dbms_java.grant_permission('<dbuser>','SYS:java.net.SocketPermission','<host-name>:<port>','connect,resolve');
where, <host-name> and <port> point to the location where the webservice is running. If you are behind a firewall, use the proxy host and port here.
For more information on accessing external web service from the database refer to the samples on the Database Web Services Page

Oracle Database 10.2 and Client 10.2 installation problem

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to install Oracle Databse 10.2g and Oracle Client 10.2 on the same server(windows 2003). I have few queries :
- Can we install both on Same Server
- Shall be install in the same directory or each in differenct directory
- Does each oracle database and oracle client has it's on oracle/home path
I installed the Oracle database and check it was working fine, I have also login through "sqlplus "/as sysdba". It was ok, all the oracle services were running perfectly. But when I installed the oracle client on the same server then all the oracle services were stopped and even when I tried to restarted manualy then got error, local user cannot start the service. Aslo not able to login thrugh sqlplus.
Could you please give your expert views.
Thanks in advance.
Harish

You can have as many Oracle Homes as your require, but you should be aware that each new Oracle Home modifies PATH environment variable, so the database could have been working fine until the client was installed, which has modified the reference to the database home.
You could modify it back from the server advanced properties at the windows control panel.

Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
(Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
ODBC call failed
[Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

Thank you for your reply.
I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
I found this small comment:
“There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
I tried it and it solved the problem!
With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
Solved.

How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

Dear All,
In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

64 bit oracle client VS 32 bit oracle database

if I have 64 bit oracle client installed in a windows host.., can I connect to a 32 bit oracle database?
I thnk yes, right?
thank you

Just curious - How difficult would it be for you to check?

Create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client

Hi,
How can we create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client?
i am using the oracle 11gR2
Thanks in Advance,
Sreekanth Polaka

Though I have not tried creating a database, try if its doable.
You can use OCI to perform SYSDBA operations.
So connect as OCI_SYSDBA and try executing the entire create database command.

Client or module information in oracle database in citrix environment

We have oracle 10g database in citrix environment . We are enable to get client information when he is logon in oracle database or application through citrix. How can we get client information in oracle. we want to stop sqlplus or any other tools except our application. How it would be possible.
Thanks
Edited by: Wason Naveen on Feb 19, 2010 6:39 AM

Sorry I wasn't sure.... But let me try to give you another idea.
So if you want to protect your schema I suggest to use roles.
I mean collect all schema privileges into two roles.
Set default role for your schema user an almost empty role. (create session)
Plus create a full featured role which is password protected.
So you can implement in your application that when it connects it "SET ROLE" to the full featured one with password of course...
This way only your application can use/see objects in schema...

Oracle Database XE Client(winXP) vs Oracle Database XE (linux)

hi everybody there, thanks for having some time for reading me.
i have a linux with Oracle Database XE, under linux with database user 'hr' i can make queries and create applications, that is ok.
also, i've installed Oracle Database XE Client on windows xp machine, and i'am usin this option: Run SQL Command Line, this prompts me to enter user and password, and i am entering this:
connect hr/[email protected]:1521
after a few seconds, i get this error: ORA-12560: TNS:Protocol Adapter Error.
192.168.0.102 is the IP address from my linux database, 1521 is the default port (i am using this port).
is this client looking for file tnsnames.ora? what else do i need on client (or server), to connect to my linux database?
my final aim is to connect from Developer 9i (winxp) to my linux database (in fact, i have the same error of above, trying this), only that i am trying first just to connect from Client XE to my linux, and when i get success with this, i will continue trying with Developer 9i.
if someone can guide me with this, it would be great. i am becoming crazy.
thanks.

hi, thanks friend.
look, as i also installed Developer 9i, i have a directory where i put a tnsnames.ora file, this directory is: d:/OraDev9i/network/admin
i don't know if Client XE, looks for this directory?, if i would not have installed Dev 9i, where can i put this tnsnames.ora file for Client XE to read it?
well, let's asume Client XE looks for directory above, this is my tnsnames entry, pls check it:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
i don't know if there is something wrong with this, please help me.
i did what you told me:
connect hr/francis2010@XE
and i got this:
ORA-12154 TNS: Could not resolve service name
also, i tried changing 'localhost.localdomain' to my linux IP address: 192.168.0.102, and i get the same error message. how do i know where Client XE is reading my tnsnames?
about the listener, i checked with this: sudo /.../init.d/... status, and it seems it is ok, remember i can work well in linux wiht hr, the port is ok, and i also checked with lsnrctl status, and i got LISTEN, so it seems is ok.
sorry, and thank you for your support, maybe this is easy but as i know the basics, i am lost.

Connectivity between Oracle database and client...

Hi guys,
I was asked to make a connection between oracle client and database via internet so that our clients can access the database from different parts of the country, and the data that is transmitted in the internet does not require security consideration. And I have successfully implemented this.
But later onwards they asked me to structure it in such a way so that clients must be able to select, insert, update and delete data offline, in case there is online connectivity problem.
So my question is, are there any possibilities in oracle to temporarily store data that are available in the oracle database to the client side and then later onwards transfer those datas once the clients are available online. Or are there any other alternative ways...
Additional Information - Client access the database through an application created by VB.
Please do help me on this project.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Asif.You probably should do a cost/risk analysis. Where you are headed might be able to be done (but it will require that the "clients" also have their own copy of the database) but it won't be easy and it certainly won't be cheap, either in initial implementation or in on-going maintenance. The alternative is to take a hard look at your network connections and see if it wouldn't be cheaper/easier to be able to ensure that it is reliable. Remember "the internet" won't break, it is highly redundant. If you have connectivity issues, they will almost certainly be in your own equipment and configurations, so your (your organization) will have the ability to address and fix any issues there.

Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

Hello,
I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
Looking for reply.
Regards,
Danish Kamran

Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
Instant Client
There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
SQLPlus
SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

Network Help - Accessing my Oracle Database from a client

Hi,
I am new to installing and managing oracle databases so please bare with me if i seem a bit dense.
I have installed Oracle 10g to a windows 2003 server and created a database instance called appConfig sid: appConfi
I have successfully connected to the database and created objects via sql using sql+ on the server that the database install resides on. The server is part of a small network (one application server and a client). I am trying to get sqlplus on the application server (which is a client as far as oracle is concerned) to connect to the database via sql plus.
I have set up the tnsnames.ora file on the client and can successfully tnsping the database name "appConfi" from the command prompt indicating that the tnsnames.ora file is successfully providing the correct host details.
When i attempt to logon to the database via sqlplus using the same credentials I used on the actual database server i get the following error message from sqlplus:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
This is my tnsnames.ora file that resides on the client and it is exactly the same as the one on the database server:
APPCONFI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = appConfig)
Any ideas?? I need to set this up for my final year project at university and it is giving me a headache.

I did manually create my tnsnames.ora file on the client, i have now deleted it and went through net manager > Service Name wizard and got the following message when i attempted to test it:
Initializing first test to use userid: scott, password: tiger
Attempting to connect using userid: scott
The test did not succeed.
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
There may be an error in the fields entered,
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
I entered the service name as appConfi
Any more ideas??
It looks like the server is not resolving the name so I have deleted my listner file on the server and recreated it using the wizard and it is now as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = projcav1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
still i get the same result??? Is it just me !!!!!

Oracle Database Client -- Oracle Database in SSL mode.

Experts,
I am trying to connect to a remote oracle database which in SSL mode. I installed "Oracle database client" on other server and trying to connect to remote database in SSL mode.
Can you please provide brief steps ?
Do I need configure any wallets on client side too ?. If yes, copying wallets from database server to client is enough ?
Please help me.
Thanks
