Oracle Development - initial platforms?

Can anyone clarify which platform Oracle initially develops it's software on and then ports to other platforms.
We're being pushed by one of our clients to utilise Wintel/Linux as they state that this is the platform Oracle firstly develops their software on and then ports to other platforms.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Thanks in advance
Pete.

Do you mean Wintel? Or Lintel (i.e. Linux on Intel chips)?
Certainly I know Linux is very popular inside Oracle since someone did the maths on the cost of licenses and performance.
I suspect RAC probably was developed on Lintel precisely because it was aimed at an architecure of disposable blade servers, and Lintel provides the best cost base for such an approach.
Of course, the question then becomes which flavour of Linux do Oracle use? I know they promote both RHEL and SUSE at the install fests.
Cheers, APC

Installation of an Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows XP doesnt work

Hello.
I try to instal Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows XP. I run setup.exe from DISK1 directory. Universal installer starts and Welcome screen appears. I click "Next" to "Specify file locations" screen. But when I choose Source Path and Destination Name and Path and I click "Next" again, nothing happens. In installation log I can see strange error message. You can see it in part of log bellow:

Can anybody help me? I am very confused about this error message.
Thanks very much.

Are you logged in as an administrator?
I wouldn't install in Program Files anyway. I'm not sure, but I have a gut feeling that Oracle doesn't like spaces in file and directory names. Install in C:\Oracle directory.

How to avoid error while install oracle developer suite10g(forms & reports)

hi dear all in recent times i am trying to install oracle developer suite 10g to learn forms and reports in my lap having windows 7 ultimate version ,32 bit,2.56 GB of ram .I downloaded two files ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1 and ds_window_x86_101202_disk2 and i downloaded Oracle universal Installer but i am unable to complete installation process ,When i click on complete(1.11gb) version which include forms,reports,xml,j developer I am facing this type of error message
"Install has encountered an error while attempting to verify your virtual settings.please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of the paging files is at least 256 mb"
Could any one help how to avoid this type of error message ? or else is there any other way to download Oracle forms and reports version

Ok, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g (Forms/Reports) was not designed for Windows 7. In order to the ODS you must follow these steps for the installation to be successful.
1. You must set the Virtual Memory (VM) size. The Oracle installer can not read Windows Managed VM. See the Microsoft article Change the size of virtual memory for more information on setting the VM size.
2. The Oracle Installer does not recognize the internal version number of Windows 7, so you have to set the compatibility mode on the Setup.exe to Windows XP. Right-Click the SETUP.EXE and select properties. Then click the Compatibility Tab and in the Compatibility Mode area set this to "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows XP SP3".
3. You must run the ODS setup.exe as the Administrator. Right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
Having done these three steps, your installation should be successful.
Hope this helps,

How to make Oracle Developer Suite use different Oracle client version

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) on Win7 32bit
When I run Oracle Forms or Oracle Reports or any DB tool (like SQL Navigator or PL/SQL Developer) and trying to connect to remote Oracle DB 10g (10.2.0.5.0) I get an error ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Then I've installed Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.4.0 and made DB tools use this client and error was gone, but I still get that error using Forms and Reports.
So my qustion is, can I make Oracle Forms and Reports use any other Oracle Client but that was installed with Oracle Developer Suite? Or any other suggestions are welcome how to fix connection issue in Forms and Reports?
I have read many threads and some suggested to set NLS_LANG. Done that, but it didn't help :(

The better question is why are you trying to use an obsolete Oracle product on such a new OS and expecting it to work properly? Are you also using MS Office 95 on this machine? Attempting to hack a solution is fine if you are just learning to use a product or just playing around. However, I would never recommend attempting to do what you are doing.
Oracle Forms 9.x was desupported years ago, long before Windows 7 was released. Trying to use it in this manner is risky at best and not something that should be done in a professional environment. If you are a student or just home user trying to learn on your own, I would recommend that you use a virtualization product like Oracle Virtual Box and create a vm of an older OS. For example XP, then install on that platform. If you are a licensed user of Win 7 Pro or higher, I believe Microsoft is still giving away (for free) "XP Mode". Details here:

Increase your Windows paging file by going to Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Performance Settings(button)->Advanced(tab)->Virtual Memory. Change the Initial size to be at least 1535MB.

Oracle Developer for Solaris?

My company is "shyly" considering moving from NT to Solaris. One major concern is if we'll be able to run our Oracle-Developer's apps on Solaris with little effort. I'd appreciate any information about it.

Yes, little effort and Solaris is a recommend platform for Oracle.

Software development is platform independent?

ORACLE Database has features like having database triggers, stored procedures / functions, table or column level constraints. So are they proprietary functionality of ORACLE. Can I build some of these above-mentioned features using standard SQL? Am I violating the proprietary law?
The current trend of software development is platform independent? How to achieve this?
null

I have had this problem before, I think you can use
something like:
System.getProperty("path.separator");But I am not at work right now to look, so sorry. Im
sure someone else could confirm this.No, it's file.separator:
file.separator File separator ("/" on UNIX)
path.separator Path separator (":" on UNIX)
line.separator Line separator ("\n" on UNIX)
But better use File.separator instead of a hardcoded string -> compiler will complain at typos.

The Quality of Oracle Developer

The following is the body of an email I sent into Oracle Technet.
Does anyone else agree?
I would like to take this time to talk about
Oracle Developer. I am using version 6 (with patches) and I
unfortunately have nothing but bad things to say about this
product.
I have used other development tools, and I have never seen so
many unexceptable bugs and features (that exist from poor design)
like I have seen while using this product. Reports that print
with undesired and sporadic results. Built-Ins that do not work
as intended. Deployment that is unreliable. GUI design that is
poor and non-standard (using the Microsoft Window standards --
which are industry-acceptable standards). Form and canvas
navigation that is unreliable.
Most software vendors would not let a product of this quality out
of the alpha stage, and what is truly disappointing is that
Oracle, who is the developer of a fabulous database, would risk
tarnishing their image by releasing what my colleagues and I
refer to as "crap". What makes this product even more of a
tragedy is the fact that is probably the most expensive
development product on the market today.
Being an Information Technology professional, many companies
value my opinions and toolset recommendations. Oracle Developer
would be on the top of my "DON'T BUY" list. For the company's
sake, I truly hope that this e-mail does NOT merely end up in the
area that many individuals refer to as the "circular file".
Thank you for your time.

Ben:
I was starting to think it's just me. With ORACLE being "the"
database for years now, I figured their development tools would
have a little more to offer.
I maintain a contractor-developed web app developed exclusively
with Oracle products - Developer, Web Server, Database, etc. I
find the user interfaces of these products horrible, and their
functionality even worse. Very buggy and unpredictable. Oracle
doesn't seem to realize that MS Windows/NT is the platform they
should concentrate on - maybe send their developers to some MS
schooling to learn proper windows programming techniqes and
standards. Who really cares anymore that their products can be
used across many different platforms? I especially hate the
events used in developing forms. Very hard to understand
exactly what they do or when they're fired.
The reason why I'm on this site today is that I destroyed my
8.0.3 database by putting Developer 6.0 on it! Now tech-support
(which we prabably paid thousands for) Oracle tells me that the
two can't co-exist on the same machine.
I'm with you - I'd steer any developer away from any Oracle
product in a heartbeat, except maybe for their core database.

Oracle developer day - problem downloading .ova file (on a mac)

I downloaded the Oracle VM virtual Box (for mac) just fine, but I'm having a problem with the "Oracle Developer Day.ova". When I try to download, I am shown a file with format problems. It looks like an initial agreement and but is not correctly formatted, it has black boxed question marks inserted oddly and html is visible. There is no option or way to save the file or agree to terms to proceed. (File path is: dowload.oracle.com/otn/other/virtualbox/dd/Oracle_Developer_Day.ova?AuthParam=[big number here]). It seems that perhaps I have a browser issue. I'm using Safari Version 6.0.4 on a mac. Is there a way that I can ftp the file using mac unix?

Suggestions for the Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005

I'd like to start a thread for constructive feedback of the Beta version of these Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005.
First off, check the known issues here before posting:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/dotnet/odt10202rn.html
So, here are my issues:
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right click on a large table and click "Retrieve Data..." it hangs the IDE until an apparent timeout value of 30 seconds, then shows a message box stating that "The query is taking a long time. Would you like to continue" ...waiting? I think the better approach here is to follow MS. In Menu Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> DataConnections, there is a setting to limit SQL results to x number of rows. I think ODT should do one of the following. 1. Read this value and apply it. OR 2. Hardcode a value of 100 - 500 rows. 3. Add a setting similar to MS in the Options...
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right-click on a view and click "Design..." the code for the view opens, but is not very readable because the line breaks are interpreted a little boxes. After dumping it into a hex editor, you can see the little box characters are Linefeeds (Char(10)). If these are all replaced with Carriage Return+Linefeed (Chr(13) + Char(10)), and pasted back into the editor in VS2005, it works perfectly. Note: My Oracle 9i Server is running on the Linux platform.
- I know this is a known issue, but this one's a biggie for me. Drag and drop is not supported from Oracle Explorer to the XML Schema Designer. Will Drag-and-Drop of tables generate TableAdapters as well with the Fill methods?
- Pre-existing Triggers don't seem to be visible in the Oracle Explorer.
Thanks,
-Tony

Hi
I am new to Oracle but not to VS. I have downloaded and installed the newest tools for Developer, having first tried the install for VS2003.net (which refused to install on my VS 2005.) I got the beta download and installed it, but my oracle explorer shows nothing. Any attempt to add a connection results in an error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adaptor error. I had the full install of 10g r2 on my notebook, but removed it and opted for the XE version. I removed the Oracle_Home environment variable prior to installing XE. I am trying to connect to the HR database, and the account is unlocked. I saw a reference to the tnsfiles file, and that seems to be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

Error installing oracle developer 10gR 2

hi, i m using vista 32 bit and i want to installl
oracle developer 10g R2....but i got this error
"checking operating system version:must be 5.0,5.1,5.2.........Actual 6.0"
please help me .......who can i get rid of this error.......

The company I work for has not embraced Windows Vista or 7 yet so I have not had the pleasure of installing Oracle Forms on these platforms yet, however, Steve Cosner has a very comprehensive thread on installing Forms on Vista. Check out this thread: Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista It should help you with your install. If you have access to Oracle Metalink, check out this article as well: How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista [ID 559067.1]
Hope this helps.

Microsoft and Oracle - Developer Studio?

Hi,
did any body read this? http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/index.html?3151964.html Will this mean the same productivity for Microsoft Developer Studio as in JDev 10g? If yes, then we will have ahard time at my company to justify the usage of JDev 10g. :-(

It does not mean that. There should be a FAQ document posted to OTN this week that helps clarify some of this.
As the press release mentioned, Oracle has joined this VSIP program so that we can build some extensions to the Visual Studio .NET environment that make working with the Oracle database easier for developers that have already picked .NET.
For developers targeting J2EE, or developers that are still undecided as to whether to pick J2EE or .NET, our JDeveloper 10g tool and Oracle ADF framework are already more productive in most business application development scenarios than Visual Studio .NET is today -- as well as obviously more portable and standard -- and everything we are working on in JDeveloper and ADF will continue that trend.
Microsoft recently announced that it's 1.0 release of an ADF-like framework (Microsoft Business Framework), has slipped into the Longhorn timeframe (2007 or beyond). And that will be the 1.0 version!
http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=49958
We've been working on Oracle ADF (initially on its core application-building features under the name BC4J) since 1997, and been production since April 1999 when we first shipped parts of BC4J in JDeveloper 2.0. Oracle Applications have been using Oracle ADF (in the form of BC4J) since 1999 in a rich way to build the next generation of their web-based self-service applications. It's also used by many external customers, too, so needless to say, we have a bit of a lead in this enterprise application-building space and are not sitting on our hands by any means! :-)
