Oracle Express and forms/reports

Hi there
If we install Oracle Express database on a remote site with single server can we run Oracle forms/reports on the same server that will connect to the Oracle Express database ?

Yes you can. Just create the required Oracle Net conntections and use it in your froms and reports. Ensure that the listener is running.

Performance of WEB enabling ( Converting to Oracle 8i and Forms 6i)

We are working on a project to convert a forms 4.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 application to a web based app ( Oracle 8i and Forms 6i). I want to know if there will be a performance hit (improve or decrease) as a result of this.
Please help

Satish - concerned about your statement that you have not used in in production but you think its not the good. If you can quantify your statement I will address is.
As for Bobs points - check out http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=836060
This probably addresses Bobs concerns.
If you are concerned - take a look at the testimonials. Go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click on the Testimonials link.
Believe it or not we actually have people who are running FASTER on the Web - How can that be!!! - well the reason is that the have uses on slow links - when running client server there database access is across these links and since they had database intensive application they found it could be slow. On the web the data trasfer between the app server and the database was on a fast link and the client (who are still on the slow link) are getting only screen draw information which is alot less than the database traffic.
Hope this helps

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp. Kindly give me a complete step by step file, so that i can know before installation......
Thanks

Get into a time machine and go back about 20 years. ;-)
You are asking about something hopefully no one has done for a decade ... installing desupported software on a desupported database on a desupported operating system on, perhaps, some antique server.
Perhaps someone else kept their notes from back in the Jurassic period but mine were in a recycle bin many many years ago.
If you really wish to do this I suspect you are going to be stuck doing it the way we did back then ... read the docs accompanying the installation files.

Oracle 10gR2 and Forms 6i Combination

One of my company's division after suffering skill gap for many years decided finally to turn their system under my care. This means more work for me but it would be a welcome change since it will give back some exposure from my past life using SQLForms, CDE and Designer 2000 etc.
As a prerequisite I got involved to provide technical direction to a project to "modernize" their system with the "almost" current version that is still supported or "almost" supported by Oracle.
My question is this : ( In reference to Note 229929.1 Stating that Oracle 10GR2 and Form 6i combo is not supported as a combination ( because Form 6i is already desupported ) Is there anyone here have that combination running on production ?
Was there any problem ?
At the back of my mind I am very confident that I can make this combination work .
It would be useful if someone can confirm this combo. (ie 10gR2 and Forms 6i).
You may ask "Why not go with the latest ? ".This was for many reasons. I don't want to introduce shocking changes to the developers (they are already behind on technology and skillset), also Forms 6i is still Client-server which where they want to remain at the moment. The project was given a very short time to convert the system.
Introducing a new architecture will definitely introduce more task than these guys can handle in such short period.
Feedback for any real life experience on this combo is appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Deploying Oracle Express and Java Application in one installation

Is there a way to deploy a Java application using Oracle express as the back end in one installation? So in other words, rather than installing oracle express separately from the application, we are looking to install from one executable including both the java application and all the necessary components for oracle express to run.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mahmoud

Hello,
you can install the database using a response file. Depending on the installer of your Java application you could create a kind of meta-installer that creates a response file for the database as well as one response/parameter file for your application installer and hence run both in one step.
See the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm#BABCCGCF]corresponding section of the Installation Guide for details on the response file.

Oracle Express and regedit

Hi!
I installed Oracle Express on Windows XP and I want to use PL/SQL Developer (could be any other tool) to develop with pl/sql. But I realize that the Express installation does not creates the usual HOME0 or HOME1 nor ALL_HOMES Oracle entries in the regedit, and I need them so my tool can detect the instance.
Why the Oracle Express does not create these entries in regedit and how can I create them? I don't know which entries I need.
Regards

Hi,
Thank you for your fast response.
RPuttagunta, with the new PL/SQL Developer 7 trial it works fine and the database name XE is found, but with earlier versions like 5.0 (which is what we got in my project) it doesn't work. A workaround I found is to manually create the HOME1 and ALL_HOMES entries in the regedit, taking as a reference an Oracle 9i client installation. My question is if that regedit entries are present in the 10g and future versions, or we will have to patch all the installations.
Legatti, SQL Developer is fine and I liked, but PL/SQL Dev still has some additional features we are used to work with. Anyway I will suggest it to the manager as an alternative to get an upgrade of PL/SQL, since it is free to use.
Thanks & Regards

Migration steps in oracle reports and forms

Hi,
I want to migrate oracle reports and oracle forms from its curent versions to 10G.
current versions:
Oracle Report : 2.5
Oracle Forms : 4.5
any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,
there is the forms upgrade center on OTN. There is a lot of information about upgrading of forms. ou can find it here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html.
The way is (to my knowledge), go from 4.5 to 6i and then to 10g.
On the page you also find a link for Oracle Reports.
If you have more questions, I think you should ask your questions in the Forms Forum: Forms or in the Reports Forum: Reports There are the experts on the topic.

Oracle Express and Displaying Better Error Output?

I recently installed Oracle Express 10g and I would like to make the DBMS app output better error codes (in this case, I guess the DBMS is "Application Express 2.1?"). Is there any way, for example, to output more precise error codes that will help me pinpoint where exactly a given problem arises?
A perfect example:
I just tried to run the following query against the database:
INSERT INTO ct_employee (ename, deptno, sal, mgr, job, hiredate, comm)
VALUES('Debbie Howe', 20, 30000, 122, 'Clerk', 17-Dec-80, '');
After clicking "Run", the following error message was displayed:
ORA-00984: column not allowed here
As you can see, there's no "arrows" pointing to where a given value might have been nosedived, nothing indicating where a column might be getting ignored or even anything explaining which value in general... Nothing. Only some obscure error code proceeded by Kafkaesque common sense (ironic).
So again, if anyone has an idea regarding how to somehow enable better error messages or the like, I would really appreciate it.

I wasn't using SQL*Plus...
What I was trying to do here out of all this was install Oracle to my actual computer so that I could start practicing SQL on my own without having to log into any development or production environments.
I installed SQL Express (completely free after registering to the Oracle website and logging into it with your provided e-mail address) for my main SQL / PL/SQL processing engine and after I did this, I then began using the "Application Express" to practice my SQL. Well, it turned out that it wasn't really doing what I needed it to (i.e. - various commands wouldn't output what I expected or multi-commands wouldn't work, etc.)
This made me eventually realize that what I had on my localhost, in terms of database, would suffice, but in terms of DBMS (in layman's, you're editor for SQL code, if you will) would not work. This led me to download SQL*Plus. The rest is history!
Steps to creating a basic localhost:
1.) Download Oracle Express (prepare for a big download). Install. If you get any error messages, chances are they're the same ones I had during installation. I never paid much heed to them and to this day, experience no problems. Just click through them...
2.) Download and install SQL*Plus. Again, expect a hefty download. The good thing about this, though, is that you only need to extract the main file and run the EXE in it. There's no installation involved.
3.) If you're using localhost for your database stuff, set everything up in your EXE first-run by entering the following:
Connection Name: "localhost"
Username: <username>
Password: <password>
(You can choose to save your password, too.)
I think everything else is already set, but in the event that it isn't, your hostname will be "localhost" and your port number will be "1521" (in most cases--this might be different in some office or work setting. In such an event, get with your systems geek.) Lastly, your SID will probably be "xe" and after you set all this up, you should press "Connect".
Then you're golden. :.)

Inconsistence with oracle express and toad

I created two accounts(A and B) under system account under oracle express, then under system, A and B account, I created one table for each account (USER_TABLE) . I can see all three tables from oracle express. But I can't see the tables from toad. Even I can't see A andB schema from toad. Anyone knows what's the problem.
Thanks,
-- Allen --

I think I access to the correct db since there is only one db instance. Only system has the DBA privilege, A and B just regular account. The accounts I created from oracle express should reflect to toad, I can't see them, but I can see HR schema from toad.
Thanks,
