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.

What are the contents of the SQLNET.ORA files ?(*Inside Oracle Developer*)
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracledeveloper\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
DEFAULT_SDU_SIZE = 8761
(*Inside Oracle Database*)
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
# install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
# authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Try to make a test:
Create an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN on your system, put the path for >>your TNSNAMES.ORA file and see what's happen.
e.g:
TNS_ADMIN=C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\NETWORK\ADMINI'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean; how and where do I create an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN ?
I'm really not sure how to do this..

Oracle 11.2 client connecting to Oracle 10.2 databases

I have an application which currently uses 10.2.0.4 Oracle Client to connect to Oracle 10.2 databases using java (jdbc).
Now I have to do setup on another linux server and looking into whether I can use 11.2 Oracle clinet avaiable on tcehnet.oracle.com to connect to
10.2 databases. I will be using jdbc for connectivity.

Maybe showing my ignorance here, but doesn't the application itself have to be written to use the jdbc thin driver?
That would not be typical. A Java application will normally be modular as regards DB connections.
1. The app itself will be written to take an instance of the 'Connection' interface
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Connection.html
2. The actual 'Connection' instance will be created by a factory method or other application independent code at startup and then passed to the application code.
Just like TNSNAMES.ORA contains the parameters for OCI connections an application will normally use a config file and/or command-line parameters for the JDBC connection parameters.
Naturally, just like everything else, developers can always screw things up by hard coding values. Nothing you can do about that.
See the 'Database URLs and Database Specifiers' section of the JDBC dev guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/urls.htm#BEIJFHHB
Database URLs are strings. The complete URL syntax is:
jdbc:oracle:driver_type:[username/password]@database_specifier
Note:
The brackets indicate that the username/password pair is optional.
kprb, the internal server-side driver, uses an implicit connection. Database URLs for the server-side driver end after the driver_type.
The first part of the URL specifies which JDBC driver is to be used. The supported driver_type values are thin, oci, and kprb.
The remainder of the URL contains an optional user name and password separated by a slash, an @, and the
database specifier, which uniquely identifies the database to which the application is connected. Some database specifiers are valid only for the JDBC Thin driver, some only for the JDBC OCI driver, and some for both.
Then there are examples of each driver type in 'Table 8-3 Supported Database Specifiers'
Thin: "jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@//myhost:1521/myservicename"
See that table 8-3 for the different OCI options.

Oracle 8i Windows Client and 9i Unix Database server

Is it recommended to use Oracle Windows 8i client against Oracle 9i Database server?
Does anyone have an official Oracle link about this?
Thanks
Dipak

Only by putting an Oracle 8 database between them... You can set up an Oracle 8 database with a dblink to the Oracle 7 database and connect to that via an Oracle 9 client. Not pretty and not particularly efficient, but it'll work in a pinch.

Oracle 11g R2 Client Silent Installation Issue (PATH) Windows 7 x86

Hi All,
I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on this issue.
I created a Response file using the 'Save Response File' method during an interactive installation on a Windows 7 Enterprise x86 client. (file enclosed)
I have installed it multiple times now with multiple permutations of the command line (got caught out by the old lower case F in responseFile) but now I'm getting the same error each time (a critical error with the PATH according to the installation log). There is nothing wrong with the path length as the installation works fine in GUI mode and passes the Prereq check.
I launch the command line to install (with Run As Administrator) - "[location of setup.exe]\setup.exe" -nowait -silent -responseFile "[location of response file]\Oracle11gv2.rsp"

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.

Oracle 9i R2 Client on a PC having Oracle 10g Database

Can I install and use Oracle 9i R2 Client on a PC having Oracle 10g Database on Windows XP Professional?
The reason for that; is because I can't do Export and Import operations from the mentioned PC (which having Oracle 10g) to other two remote databases where they have Oracle 9i R2 database.

OK, I have Windows 2000 Server and when I go to SQL*Plus and connect to my database, it's showing for me this:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Also when I launch the OEM and goto Help-->About, it's showing the same version as above.
But when I look to other things, it's like this:
Oracle Home Directory: "C:\oracle\ora91"
System Services "services.msc": "OracleOraHome91Agent", "OracleOraHome91TNSListener", and "OracleServiceREPORTS" (REPORTS is my Oracle database name).
So how could I know what is my actual Oracle version?

Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

Hello
We have the following situation:
Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
step 1:
Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
Go live
step 2:
Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
Production environment stays client server.
With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
step 3:
Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
My question is on step 1.
When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
The questions:
- Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
- Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
Regards Erik

Thank you.
Now I found it.
But how do I read that page.
It says:
Client Certifications
OS      Product      Server Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
Application Tier Certifications
OS      Product      Server      Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
I read this as follows:
Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
I'm I right?
Regards Erik

Storing Foreign Characters in oracle 9i Lite Client Database.

Hi All,
My Database configuration Is
RDBMS VERSION 9.0.1.1.1
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
Operating System Windows 2000
My Oracle Lite configuration Is
Oracle9i Lite Release 5.0.2.0.8
Client Locations:
Africa,Europe,Asia,America
Currently all clients store data only in English in the client odb either through java and oracle forms applications.
We want to now store data for some specific tables, in the clients own language.Also we should be able to retrieve that data and see that data as it was entered.
For example :
The client in china after downloading the odb should be able to enter the data for that specific tables in the Chinese language.(They use windows 2000/XP English version).
1. What are the settings i need to do in the client environment?
like installing Chinese font or setting NLS_LANG parameter etc...
2. What are the settings i need to do in the server environment?
Because there should not be any loss of any data or junk values getting stored instead of actual values entered by clients.
Also when i query that specific tables in the oracle database after synchronization i should be able to view that data entered by the clients in their own language.
Eg:data entered by china clients should be visible in chinese fonts,
data entered by brazil clients should be visible in brazilian fonts,
data entered by vietnam clients should be visible in vietnamese fonts.
3. will there be any synchronization issues when clients try to sync after data entry with
their own languages?
Please do advice on these issue...........

I have given you the info of how to set up Oracle Lite for UTF8. I can only point you in the direction for globalization on the enterprise server. Also note that Oracle Lite only support NLS_LENGHT_SEMANTICS=BYTE, your EE database will be CHAR, so you have to alter the session paramter before you create the repository and/or publish your application.
Here is a Oracle Document on Globalization:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/TWP_AppDev_Unicode_10gR2.pdf
Here is what Oracle Lite's Developers Guide has on development of linguistic sorts:
2.11 Support for Linguistic Sort
Linguistic sort is a feature for the ASCII version of Oracle Database Lite. It produces culturally acceptable order of strings for a specified language or collation sequence. The ASCII version supports several code pages defined by single-byte 8-bit encoding schemes. Each of these code pages is a super set of 7-bit ASCII, and the additional accented characters necessary to support a group of European languages are included in the upper 128 bytes. A new string comparison mechanism is provided that produces strings in a linguistically correct order by mapping each collation element of a string to the corresponding 8-bit value of the supported code page.
2.11.1 Creating Linguistic Sort Enabled Databases
The linguistic sort capability must be enabled when the database is created using the CREATEDB command line utility with the <collation_sequence> enabled.
Note:
For more information on the CREATEDB utility, see Section A.2, "CREATEDB".
The behavior of the ORDER_BY clause and the WHERE condition are determined by how the NLS_SORT parameter is implemented. Binary sorting is the default setting, and is used unless the <collation_sequence> parameter is set to use the linguistic sort ordering rules.
NLSRT is not supported in the current version of Oracle Database Lite. Therefore, NCHAR data type is not yet available.
2.11.2 How Collation Works
Collation refers to ordering of strings into a culturally acceptable sequence. A collation sequence is a sequence of all collation elements from an alphabet from smallest collation order to the largest. Once a collation sequence is given, orders of all strings from the same alphabet are fixed. As such, the collation sequence encodes the linguistic requirements on collation. A collation element is the smallest sub-string that can be used by the comparison function to determine the order of two strings.
2.11.3 Collation Element Examples
Normally, a collation element is just one character. In binary sorting, only one property, the code value that represents a character, is used. But in linguistic sorting, usually three properties. The primary level of difference is the base character. The secondary level of difference is for diacritical marks on a given base character. The tertiary level of difference is for the case of a given character. Punctuation can function as a fourth level of difference, but comparisons for punctuation occur last and are made at the binary rather than the linguistic level. These are used for each collation element. The following sections contain examples that demonstrate sorting priorities.
2.11.3.1 Sorting Normal Characters
This section lists a set of examples that describe how to sort normal characters.
Example 1
'a' < 'b'. There is a primary difference between them on the character level.
Example 2
'À' > 'a'. This difference occurs on the secondary level. Note that 'À'and 'a' are considered "equal" on the primary level.
Example 3
'À' < 'à' in FRENCH but 'À' > 'à' in GERMAN. This difference on the tertiary level. Note that 'À' and 'à' are considered being "equal" on the primary and secondary level. Also note that the case convention may be different for different language.
Example 4
'às' < 'at'. This is a difference on the primary level. This example shows the role of difference levels: the lower level differences are ignored if there is a primary level difference anywhere in the strings.
Example 5
'+data' < '-data' <'data' <'data-'. If strings are compared and present no difference on the primary, secondary, or tertiary levels, they are compared for punctuation.
2.11.3.2 Reverse Sorting of French Accents
Some languages, particularly French, require words to be ordered on the secondary level according to the last accent difference. This behavior is known as French secondary sorting or French accent ordering.
Example
'côte' < 'coté' in FRENCH but 'coté' < 'côte' in GERMAN. Note that the secondary difference of 'e' and 'é' occurred later than those of 'ô' and 'o'.
2.11.3.3 Sorting Contracting Characters
There are some special cases where two or more characters in a group can function as a single collation element. These types of collation elements are called 'contracting characters' or 'group characters'. In these cases each of these characters properties are assigned appropriate values.
Example
'h' < 'ch' < 'i' in XCZECH. Here 'ch' is assigned a primary property value which differentiates it from 'h' and 'i', such that 'h' < 'ch' < 'i'. Note that 'ch' is treated as a single character.
2.11.3.4 Sorting Expanding Characters
If a letter sorts as if it were a sequence of more than one letter, it is called an 'expanding character'. For example, in German the sharp s (ß) is treated as if it were a string of two characters 'ss' when comparing with other letters.
2.11.3.5 Sorting Numeric Characters
Only sorting of single digit characters from '0' to '9' is currently supported. For the supported European languages a digit character is always sorted as greater than any alphabetic character. For other languages this may be not the same. Other numeric characters such as Roman numeric characters and counting sequences, such as "one", "two", "three", are not supported at this time.
Example
'1' > 'z' in any European language, '1' < 'a' in LATVIAN. Note that this difference occurs on the primary level.

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.

Oracle command line to connect to a database directly from a client machine

Hi,
I need to connect from a Client machine to a database present on the Database server.
Client: Windows 7 32 bit/ 64 bit
Server where DB is installed: Windows 2008, Oracle 11.xg
I need a command line option that will connect to a database say 'Test' from the command line. I want to put that command in a batch file / exe and call it from there.
I have tools like SQL Developer and dbForge but was unable to do it. Could I have some help on this.
I am a fresher with Oracle and I would appreciate detailed steps. Thanks very much in advance.
Vincent

Vincent,
There is a few steps you want to perform, first of all tell me where is your client database server and where you want command line to use Oracle SQL command line.

Oracle client has a test database for creating SP's?

I have 10g Oracle client in my machine. Does it have a test database I can connect to and create stored procedures?
If not, is it possible to create a local database?
And What about Oracle Express client? Does it come with a test Database? Or do I need to install database in my system for creating SP's ?

Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
Thanks in advanced.

Three solutions in order of preference
1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

Oracle 32 bit client to connect to a 64 bit database

Hello Folks,
My problems start with installing Informatica and Oracle in my 64 bit machine, both are 64 bit software.
When I open Informatica to connect to Oracle, it opens with a 32 bit ODBC connector.
So, essentially I want to connect to a 64 bit database.
I was told it is possible using a 32 bit Oracle client.
So, now I downloaded the Oracle 11g 32 bit client.
My question is how to connect to use it to connect to a 64 bit database.
Much obliged

Hi,
configure tnsnames.ora at client side....
example: oracle 11g client 32bit
go to oracle home where you have installed oracle 32 bit clinet and then /network/admin directory and then create tnsnames.ora file...
ex:
PROD1_db1=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db1.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = prod1)
and then configure sqlnet.ora file as well
create sqlnet.ora file at clinet side
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
once above files creation completion try to ping your prod db
ex: your prod database name prod1
tnsping prod1
go to cmd prompt type below
sqlplus usename/pwd@servicenamethanks,
DBC.

Oracle Database Lite Client database performance

Hi,
I need to know well does Oracle databse lite client databse works if it contains 3-3.5 GB data? Does it get sluggish beccause the maximum allowed is 4 GB?
Regards

We had similar problems during the processing phase (delay here points at a client device issue).
We use Dell and HP PDAs, and have databases up to about 40MB. During the acceptance testing a couple of years back we were finding that the processing phase could be upto about 25 minutes on new builds/complete refresh
We tested out a few different scenarios that might help
1) clear down databse files and odbc.txt (this will force a complete rebuild without affecting any parameters) with the SD installed
2) repeat the above, but remove the SD card before the sync (this forces the databases to be put into my device/built in storage
3) try different types of SD cards
our results found that we would on average get
1) 15-20 minutes
2) 2 minutes
3) big variance of 2.5 to 20 minurtes, but consistent by manufacturer
It seemed that the different speed SD cards made a big difference, and even cards nominally the same speed from different manufacturers were very different in practice.
In some cases (Kingston was one i think), Japananese manufactured cards were much better than the european ones, even though they were supposed to be identical.
If you get a difference between the processing phase when using SD cards vs using main memory, i would expect the cards to be the issue.
NOTE we have also had issues where the user pressed the power off whilst the application was processing (we have some end of visit checks that can take up to 90 seconds). If this happened and they later resumed, the process would continue, but the few milliseconds delay in repowering the SD card was enough to cause device read and write errors. Again some cards were worse than others
