Oracle Development Suite ( Form Builder + Report Builer ) vs Toad

Hi guys
I a beginner in oracle world and I would like to ask >>>
1- What is the difference between toad and Oracle development suite and which one is better?
2- Could toad be used to create .fmb files ? What is the extension format of toad forms if they exist ?
According to this thread >>>
Diff between Oracle Forms and Toad
Toad cannot be used to create input forms
on the other hand , my friend told me that Toad can be used to fully control your database and development >>> It involves
Objects Creation and management ( Tables -- Indexes ... etc)
Form Creation
Report Creation
all in one application
This thread posing is repeated three times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how this happened !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for inconvenience
Edited by: user2393672 on Sep 10, 2011 4:47 PM

1) toad is only for querying/doing dml against the database
2) form is for having the screen; report for the output of the system. so toad is totally different from form & report
Thanks & Best Regards

Do Oracle Developer Suite contains Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?

Dear All,
I am having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.

Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sameer,
Q1 Iam having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.
Using that i can design and test Oracle reports.
Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Yes you need Oracle Application Server to deploy forms /reports.There are 2 types . One containing only forms and reports services
Two containing forms, reports services, portal and many
other product services.
So if you want to deploy only forms and reports then choose the first one
Q2 Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?
No. It contains a light component called OC4j. With this u can test the forms and reports in browser
Q3How to test whether the report will run inside an application server?
If you test it with developer suite, it should run fine with AS
Q4 If i am having Developer Suite and still do i need to install Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?
Pls note that Developer suite doesnt have any AS. And it has a light weight OC4J which is only for testing purpose. So u need to have AS for the deployment.

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,

Oracle Graphics Builder in Oracle Developer Suite 10g

Dear All,
I would like to immigrate from Oracle Developer 6.0 to Oracle Developer Suite 10g for our company application. I had a design tool called as Graphics Builder in Developer 6.0 but What I see in Oracle Developer Suite 10g that this tool doesn't exist any more. I still need to use all Graphics of the company application.
Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ? If yes, then how can I make the design of Graphics in Developer Suite ? Is it a seperate tool any more I should have next to Developer Suite 10g ?
I would be glad if experinced colleaques guide me on this ?
Many Thanks for your valuable helps,
Regards,
Meriç

Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ?Yes, Oracle has discontinued the "Graphics Builder product. In order to include graphical charts in your 10g Form you will need to use the BI Graph Bean that is included in the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html">Oracle Forms 11g Downloads</a> - Oracle Forms 11g Demo Pack. Download this .zip file and look at the *demos.html* document for instructions on how to use this Java Bean.
Hope this helps,

Difference between oracle Developer suit and Oracle Application Server???

Dear all,,
If any one please tell me the main difference between Developer Suit and Oracle Application Server.
I will be very thank ful.
Thank you
Hina.

Hi Hina
can i deploy my application build on oracle 10g using developer suite with db10g and I don't use application server?For individual use and development yes u can using oracle Developer suit after starting OC4J
but for client use for more than x user to be able to run reports using parameter forms and other forms application u must use Oracle Application Server
An application server is
a server program in a computer in a distributed network that provides the business logic for an application program.
The application server is frequently viewed as part of a three-tier application, consisting of a graphical user interface (GUI) server, an application (business logic) server, and a database and transaction server.
More descriptively, it can be viewed as dividing an application into:
--- A first-tier, front-end, Web browser-based---
1.graphical user interface, usually at a personal computer or workstation
2.A middle-tier business logic application or set of applications, possibly on a local area network or intranet server
3.A third-tier, back-end, database and transaction server, sometimes on a mainframe or large server
Hope this helps,

How to install Oracle Developer Suite 8 on windows 8 64bit

Hi, everyone.
I have facing problem. How to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on windows 8. Please send me step by step install.
Thanks
Mbulur.

No version of Forms/Reports is currently supported on Windows 8. Also, because Error Correction support for versions older than 11 have ended, no new certifications will be provided for those versions. I would recommend you consider upgrading to Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 as we are hoping for Win8 certifications in the future for this version.

Difference between Oracle developer suite 9i and 6i

Hi -
Can I know what's the release difference between oracle developer suite 9i and 6i , and what's new in oracle discoverer 9i in compare with last version , we have discoverer version of 4.1...
I could not able to get from metalink anything like new features in 9i deve;oper suite.
Existing oracle financial application 11.5.8 have their forms and reports in 6i version.
What impact will have if changed with new version of application 11.5.10 in future .

Oracle Developer Suite 9i is now called Oracle 9iDS. Oracle also sells Oracle 9iAS. You need to license iAS in order to run application created using iDS.
9i is fully J2EE compliant. It offers improved integration between components. Its much more feature rich than 6i. See:
http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/
for more information.
what's new in oracle discoverer 9i in compare with last versionThis question is best asked in Discoverer Forum.
What impact will have if changed with new version of application 11.5.10 in future Reports offers backward compatibility between 6i and 9i reports with a few exceptions. See Oracle Reports Obsolescence plan on OTN:

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:

Oracle Developer Suite 11g support 64bit development?

Is Oracle Developer Suite 11g going to support 64bit development? I have read the Statement of Direction and do not see any mention of supporting 64bit development. I can only find that the Oracle Database 11g will have a 64bit edition/version.
jeeman

Can you confirm this? I'm running 32-bit DevSuite with Form Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 64 bit and, while it works for most things, trying to open the layout editor seems to crash the application 50% of the time. Is there any special configuration required, or could this be a problem with running on a dual-core processor?
