Oracle Financials Developer - rokie Help me!!!!

I'm an experienced Forms developer but I was changed to a
Finnancials developers staff.
So please can someone list me some core tables of this
application that I need to know, or the name of some standards
(I supose it uses some standard object and pll libraries).
Please help me...

You'd need a database to connect the SQL Developer client to.
The easiest / quickest if you're a student would be the Express Edition.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html
Pick your platform and away you go.
Your hostname will then be 127.0.0.1, SID will be XE .... username and password will depend on what you choose when you're installing (you should get prompted for SYS/SYSTEM passwords).

Oracle SQL Developer Installation Help (Basics?)

Hello
So im taking a class (student here, totally new to this) in Oracle SQL right now and trying to download the Oracle SQL Developer tool onto my desktop (v 2.1.1).
Im just starting up Oracle SQL Developer and its asking, or I am looking to create a connection.
I was wondering if anyone had a tutorial for how to make a connection?
I only have Oracle SQL developer installed on my machine right now, nothing else. I dont have a server or anything, and just wanted to run this on my desktop local machine to practice running some SQL.
Is there anything else i need to install?
Is there some basic username and password that would allow me to connect to my local machine?
What values do i need for the hostname, port and SID etc?
Any help for a new student to Oracle would be greatly appreciated.

Oracle SQL Developer Connection Help

Hi,
I'm a complete Oracle newbie, so please bear with me. I've been doing research on protein clustering and at my lab the SQL developer has been running queries that I can then do statistics on. I have the query that I need to run, and was told to download Oracle SQL Developer and Oracle Client.
I was also given a username and password, a hostname, a port and a SID. I'm a bit confused, do I still need to install Oracle Client? And if so, I can't quite find what it is on the website? I have SQL Developer installed but when I click connect I get:
"Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
I'm pretty computer literate outside the world of databases so if someone can offer some explanations and guidance, it would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks!If you have SQL Developer installed & need to connect to some Oracle DB,
then you do NOT need Oracle client.
FWIW - SQL Developer is written in Java & uses JDBC (thin) to connect to the DB
Is the DB Server on a subnet local to your system?

Oracle 8i/Developer Home - Help?!

Have been medically laid up for about a year and want to get back to Oracle database learning on Personal Oracle. I am trying to install Oracle 8i PE and Developer 6i (production) on a new computer driven by a 2.0 ghz P4 vice 650mhz P3. My install recall is foggy. I can remember a a copuple of issues from my first install.
1. As I recall, Developer has to be installed FIRST to occupy Default_Home. But I don't remember whether Oracle installs to the SAME home or whether it must have an entirely separate home in another directory. I do seem to recall that Oracle's default installation choice seeks out the Default_Home file wherever situated and wants to install there. So QUESTION 1: Do I install Developer using Oracle\ORAINST\DEFAULT_HOME as the home and THEN install Oracle and let it the same home? A friend told me that his computer has Oracle PE it has one directory for Oracle database 8i (ORANTDB)and one directory for Developer (ORANT) [he had it installed professionally so isn't any help here] but as far as he can tell only ONE home at ORANT\ORAINST\DEFAULT_HOME. He opened the file and it seemed to contain both Developer info and Oracle info.
2. I also don't recall how to establish the connection between Developer 6i and the database, although I do remember some relation to a tnsnames.ora file and the need to do some things there. Reading thru the traffic here, it seems that some say it's an automatic connection and others indicate not. So, QUESTION 2 is: Do I need to manually set up the connection between Developer and the database - and if so how?
Hate to bother but in effect I am back to primer status, so installation help with seemingly silly questions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

1. As I recall, Developer has to be installed FIRST to occupy Default_Home. But I don't remember whether Oracle installs to the SAME home or whether it must have an entirely separate home in another directory. I do I am not at all familiar with PE, but generally you should always install the dumbest/oldest Oracle product first. I think Dev6i installs in/with 8.0.5 Client software Home. Also 8i onwards each home has separate install directory.
2.
If connecting locally i.e. empty connect string doesn't help. Then you simply add an alias for it in tnsnames.ora (8.0.5 network/admin dir). Open the existing tnsnames, it should have some example entries.

Mahen,
Before giving an opinion, the most relevant part would be to know that you want to do what, be a manager or be a techie or both? AFIK, in the dba track as well, after few years, a person can become a manager , project/team lead. It all depends on this fact tht you want to be a manager or not. I have got couple of friends, some are managers but some chose to stick with technology only despite that they were offered to become a manager as they didn't like the idea of analyzing the appraisal reports than Statspack reports.
Getting into the manager side would only come(or should come) with a proven record. I am not from Apps background, never did that but I feel that's a more functional side that you have mentioned. If you are a finance guy, having a strong base in finance, you should go for it. I don't think that if you are not having a base in this stream, you should be opting for it. You are still a trainee as per your saying, think about being good in either side of the technology than being the manager. You can always be once you have spend some time with either of the tracks.

Urgent Help !!! Export data into insert format (Oracle Sql developer)

Hi all,
Please help , when i try to export ms access table which have 400,000 over rows to insert format using oracle sql developer 1.5.5. After the export have done the exported file xxx.sql is empty.
Is it because of too many rows? or what tool or function should i use for exporting table with many rows.
It used to have exported successfully with
Insert into table( ) values ();
Insert into table( ) values ();
Insert into table( ) values ();
Insert into table( ) values ();
----- when i try to export table with over 10,000 row.
Regard,
Tun

Another option is to export your file as Formatted text (space delimited). This will create a fixed format file. You can either create an external table to access the file or use sqlloader to load it. In your control file or access parameters you will specify the positions of the fields you are interested in. Your control file will look something like this:
OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=50000,ERRORS=50,ROWS=200,READSIZE=65536)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
INFILE '/home/FIXED_FORMAT.dat' "FIX 58"
CONCATENATE 1
INTO TABLE "EMP2"
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
"ID" POSITION(1:2) INTEGER(2) ,
"REGION" POSITION(3:3) INTEGER EXTERNAL(1) ,
"DEPT" POSITION(4:6) INTEGER EXTERNAL(3) ,
"HIRE_DATE" POSITION(7:14) DATE(8) "mmddyyyy" ,
"SALARY" POSITION(15:19) DECIMAL(9,2) ,
"NAME" POSITION(20:34) CHAR(15)
SQLDeveloper does not currently provide an option to import fixed format files.

Help how to connecting Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 with Oracle Database 11g

because the message when i test connection always is filed and I'm sure i typing username and password and SID:orcl as i set when install database.port 1158 is what the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) is listening on. OEM is NOT the database. As far as the database is concerned, OEM is "just another client".
Actually, the database doesn't listen for requests on any port. There is another process, the "listener" that listens for requests to connect to the database. Typically, it listens on port 1521. You should have a tnsnames.ora file set up to resolve a connection request to the correct host. You can read more on this at http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/

Import data using Excel and Oracle SQL Developer - I need some help

Dear friends,
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 and I need to import an Excel file into a database table. If I try to import this file in XLS format, fields and headers are correctly being shown and separated, but if I press "Next" button, it simply doesn't do anything - it stays stopped.
I did some search here in this forum and it seems to me that, when you try to import a file via XLS format, SQL Developer has bugs. Is this correct?
If I save the same file in CSV format and try to import the same file, it goes ahead, but SQL Developer is not separating fields and headers correctly. It combines all CSV fields into one - let's say Column0 and fields 1;TEST;01/01/2000 below the same Column0.
Saving the file in CSV format is not a problem, taking a very little time. But I don't know how to make SQL Developer import it correctly. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Franklin

Hello K,
yes, you're right. I found the following topic after posting this question here.
Re: After update to 1.5.1, import from Excel fails
I downloaded version 1.5.0 and I'll use it whenever I import data from Excel.
Thanks,
Franklin

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer Help screen

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 Help Center screen
How do I get it back?
In Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 I clicked
Help->Table of Contents
to bring ut the Help Center window.
It the Help Center window I used to have a Favorites tab next
to the Contents TAB on the left side of the window.
I did an unpin some how and now I can't get the Favorites
TAB back.
On the right side there is a Star + icon that does
Add to Favorites.
I can add links to favorites but I have no way to go to these
saved favorites anymore.
How do I get the Favorites TAB/Icon back?
Thanks

Hi John,
SQL Developer depends on JDeveloper code for the Help. After closing the Favorites tab I see no way to re-open it in the UI, so I imagine there may be a bug on the JDev side. Fortunately, there is a manual fix:
In file product-preferences.xml
In directory C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34\o.sqldeveloper.11.1.2.4.34
use Notepad to look for the lines like:
<value n="helpDynamicLinksNavigatorLocation" v="3"/>
<value n="helpFavoritesNavigatorLocation" v="0"/>
Just change the value "0" to "2"Regards,

Ask for a way to learn Oracle and Developer 2000. HELP PLEASE!!

Hi,
I want to learn Oracle database and developer 2000. So I need the softwares.I am going to download
1. Oracle Forms Developer/Server Release 6i for Windows NT
2. Oracle8i Personal Edition on NT
Before download them, I want to know if they can work together. I am in Australia, do you know where I can get the free softwares, or with lower price.
If you have another way for self-training, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Sue

They do work together, though the installation process is moderately complicated. You may want to check this web site: http://www.chow1.myweb.nl/
This site has some experiences and procedures that have worked in the past for this combination.
You should also check Amazon.com or your local tech bookstore for books on Developer.

I do not quite understand what you mean.
I added the ActionListener when I initialize the

public class Fred702 extends JPanel
    public Fred702()
        super(null);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
        final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
        add(label);
        final int deltaT = 50;
        new javax.swing.Timer(deltaT, new ActionListener()
            double theta = 0.0;
            double deltaTheta = 0.2 * Math.PI * deltaT / 1000.0;
            int r = 200;
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                int x = (int)(Math.sin(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                int y = (int)(Math.cos(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                label.setBounds(x, y, label.getPreferredSize().width, label.getPreferredSize().height);
                theta += deltaTheta;

Hi,
I am an OCP and have been working on the application development side for about 9 years.
I am think about getting the certification for Oracle Financials for a change in my career.
Your advice on usefulness of the certification in terms of job opportunities, study material and any other information would be helpful?
How useful is the self-study material provided my Oracle for passing the certification exam?
How long does one require to do the necessary preparation for the examination?
Thanks

There are several certifications fitting your criteria, see [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] ... drill down certification paths ....
Your advice on usefulness of the certification in terms of job opportunities,It is usually more useful having a certificatin than not having one, but often without experience in the area it will not be so much use.
study material and any other information would be helpful?Oracle Univeristy Courses.
Oracle Self Study CDROMs
>

Probably useful, bu I haven'y used it myself.
How long does one require to do the necessary preparation for the examination?
Depends on one really, a guru might walk in from the street and pass, others might take year(s).
Sometimes 3 weeks after an Oracle University course is appropriate, others more typically may take 2 to 6 months or longer.
Thanks
