Oracle Lite vs Oracle XE

What's the different between "Oracle Lite Edition" and "Oracle Express Edition"?
Please give me comparison table with Data Volume, Memory, No of users, License and other key features..

They are two different code lines. Oracle Database XE is based on the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Code line and as such supports the SQL and PL/SQL dialects, and standard data types found in Oracle. Oracle Lite has a different code line, albeit with similar data types, similar SQL dialects, but no PL/SQL.
Oracle Lite is a very small footprint database - around 6 Mb I believe. It runs on Windows/Linux and also some OS on smaller devices, such as phones and PDAs. Oracle Database XE has a larger footprint (considerably) and will not run on phones and PDAs.
Oracle Lite is multi-user, but is mainly designed for disconnected mobile applications, where the device/machine synchronizes a subset of data with the main Oracle Database. Oracle XE is multi-user, and can also replicate data to and from a 'main' Oracle Database.
Unfortunately I don't have time to get into a full feature by feature comparison. We will do soemthing like this for production however, as it's sure to be an FAQ. In the meantime, if you told us what your considerations are I could provide some insight into which would be the better solution.

Migration Oracle lite to Oracle XE

Hi,
Does anyone know a way for a migration from oracle lite to oracle xe? Does there anywhere exist tools for it?
thanks & regards,
Andreas

I think that this is usefull feature for migration fom one Oracle version to other Oracle.
For old Oracle 8i I'm used ODBCOraclizer to resolve this problem.
But it is not works with XE correctly :(
Thank you.

Oracle Lite and Oracle 8i Client on Win98

I've had Olite v8i running on my Win98 machine for a while now. I just installed Oracle 8i Client on my machine. Now, my JDBC driver for Oracle Lite does NOT work. What could have happened here??
Thanks.

HI Jeremy,
I think, Your PATH was cranked up.
The JDBC driver for OLite normally does not use any OCI DLLs, so that should not be the problem. As I said, the OLite dlls may be missing now from the PATH.
Any error messages? "Does not work" is a bit... fuzzy.

Does Oracle Lite support Oracle Spatial

Does anybody know whether Oracle Lite or Personal Oracle supports the Oracle Spatial plug-in. Also, for extra credit does anybody know what the difference between Personal Oracle and Oracle Lite is?
We will be needing to provide some attribute and spatial data from our Oracle Enterprise database to several laptops for field personnel using an electronic map we developed. We would like to use a portable version of Oracle that supports Oracle Spatial objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

oh, I didn't realize it was so limited. No, that won't do. We're looking for a "mini" version of the real production database including stored code, triggers etc. Should be scaled down enough to allow rapid syncing of data and schema changes from the production (or really QA) database, but full enough to include the objects necessary to allow the developers to test their code changes to the front end applicaiton on their own environment.

Oracle Lite and Oracle Forms

Is it possible to use Oracle Forms with Oracle Lite. I have some problems in connecting Oracle forms 6 with Oracle Lite 8.0.

Surender,
It is not possible to use Oracle Forms with Oracle Lite. If you are trying to use Forms with Oracle Database 8i, you might try asking your question in the Oracle Database forum, located here:
General Database Discussions

Sql-92 syntax in Oracle Lite 8i

The Oracle Lite documentation instructs the developer to enact this change to polite.ini to use sql-92 syntax:
Running SQL-92 on Oracle Lite
As mentioned in the preceding section,
Oracle Lite uses Oracle SQL by default.
However, if you want to support SQL-92 by
default instead of Oracle SQL, you can
change the SQL compatibility parameter in
the POLITE.INI file to SQL-92. To change
the parameter, add the following in the
POLITE.INI file:
SQLCOMPATIBILITY=SQL92
See the Oracle Lite User's Guide for more
information about the POLITE.INI file.
However this does not appear to have any effect. For instance, this query in the polite sample database:
select product.descrip,price.stdprice
from product FULL OUTER JOIN price
ON product.prodid = price.prodid;
generates a syntax error:
ERROR at line 1:
OCA-30021: error preparing/executing SQL
statement
[POL-5228] syntax error
Is there more steps needed to make Oracle 8i Lite SQL-92 Compatible???

Oracle Lite Triggers

Hi,
What is the best way to handle triggers in Oracle Lite?
The application table on my live server (oracle 9i) has many triggers and most of them are not required on oracle Lite. So, i don't include triggers will packaging. But I get error while publishing the application.
Pls advice.

Deepak

Hi,
I am qouting below from the oracle 8i Lite documentation which says it supports triggers . Please clarify.

Oracle Lite vs. Oracle 10g Express

What is the difference between Oracle Lite and Oracle 10g Express Edition?
Can an application written for oracle lite work out-of-the-box for the express edition?

two completely different products. express is essentially the same as the server oracle database. same functionality, same sql and pl/sql support, same structure.
olite is a different architecture in terms of data files, and the sql is slightly different, and does not support many new facilities. there is no pl/sql at all and performance/tuning is different.

Oracle lite and RAC

We are experiencing difficulties with installing oracle lite with Oracle RAC 10.2. Does anybody knows if this is possible?
thank's in advance!

The problem's were mostly implementation specific. What you need to do for RAC is to configure the mobile server to use the thick client in stead of the thin client. There is a metalink document about this (Doc ID: Note:339108.1).
How to configure the mobile server with a RAC DB
Solution
1) Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/mobile/server/bin/webtogo.ora
2) Change this Parameter:
ADMIN_JDBC_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:1521
TO
ADMIN_JDBC_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTO =TCP)(HOST=clora1vip.aem.torin
.it)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTO =TCP)(HOST=host_name)(PORT=host_port))(LOAD_BALANCE=yes
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=sid_name)(FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELE
CT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))
3) Save the File and restart the mobile server.

Startin Oracle lite server

Hi,
I have installed oracle lite 5.0.1
During installation It has asked for the existing database server paramter( host, port, service)
It has created on user called mobileadmin
Now, How to start the oracle lite server.
If anybody can let me know where the oracle lite exactly
should be used.
Thanks and Regards,
Jigar

The mobileadmin is only for the oracle 9i lite repository. To Start the mobile server you should use a command prompt and type "wedtogo" first. you will see some commands running. If the commands runs correctly then open an IE and type
http://serverIP:[port]/webtogo
and you should get the server interface. The default user name for the server is Administrator and password is admin. Try if it works.
Oracle Lite is a small DB on PDA and PC. To sync the data between Oracle Lite and Oracle DB server, you need to have the mobile server installed.

Oracle Lite + Resin + jdk1.2.2 or jdk 1.3.1 problem

Hi!
Can some one help me this the following:
I used Oracle Lite database, Resin app server and jdk1.2.2
When I try to connect my database through simple java-application, all goes fine! But, when I trying to get database communication from my application server and problem arise. First of all dll's such as
OLJDBC40.DLL, OLAD2040.DLL, OLOBJ40.DLL, OLOD2040.DLL OLSQL40.DLL are in the Path and JVM loads them at runtime. I got connection to DB. Than I try to get some DatabaseMetaData info and got EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (for jdk1.3) and "java.exe has generated error (for jdk1.2.2)" errors from VM.
So, any idea?
Any help apriciated...
RGS,

Hi,
I have got the similar problem when I used MS SQL server + Tomcat + JDK1.3.0 via JdbcOdbc driver. In that configuration the JVM crashs very often. It seems that JdbcOdbc's got unstable problem. Then, I tried other type 4 JDBC driver, it works fine and JVM won't crash. Try Sprinta 2000 JDBC driver, it's a type 4 driver and fast stable.

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 &java 2

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 and Java 2 SDK ( Ver 1.3 Beta)
After the installation of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on a laptop (with WIN 95 OS), When I run Oracle Lite Designer from start menu, I receive following error message :
====================================
Invalid class name 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'

where options include:

-noverify do not verify any class
-nojit disable JIT compiler
Please make sure that JDK 1.1.4 (or greater) is installed in your machine and CLASSPATH is set properly. JAVA.EXE must be in the PATH.
====================================
My ORACLE_HOME is c:\program files\ora95_2 and Oracle Lite is installed under the ORACLE_HOME in LITE\DESIGNER directory.
JDK version is 1.1.8 which is greater than 1.1.4 installed in c:\program files\jdk1.1.8, My PATH, and CLASSPATH are set in AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
set CLASSPATH=c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\lib\classes.zip;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\classes\olite36.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\oldes.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\swingall.j ar
PATH=C:\Progra~1\Ora95_2\bin;.;c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\lib;c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\bin;C:\Progra~1\Ora95_2\lite\Designer;C:\WIN95;C:\WIN95\COMMAND;C:\UTIL
And, I can run JAVA.EXE from any directory on command prompt.
With JAVA 2 SDK (ver 1.3 Beta) instead of JDK 1.1.8 I'm getting a different Error message as follows:
=============================
java.lang.NoClassFoundError: 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Please make sure that JDK 1.1.4 (or greater) is installed in your machine and CLASSPATH is set properly. JAVA.EXE must be in the PATH.
==============================
the PATH and CLASSPATH were set accordingly, as with JDK1.1.8, and there was no classes.zip in classpath
also the class file or the jar file looks weird or wrapped in the error message : 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Another interesting thing I noticed is if I run oldes.exe from Installation CD, the Oracle Lite Designer runs fine, and without error, I'm able to modify tables in the database of my laptop also.
Could someone shade some light on what am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks for help in advance .
Regards
Viral

Error while trying access JSP page first time using Oracle Lite

Hi,
We are doing a proof of concept using Oracle Lite 10gR3. Installed Mobile server and published a JSP based application. Installed web-to-go setup.exe on a client machine and synchronized the application. However when we tried to open the page, it comes up with an error. We are using jdk version 1.4.

(Since this is the general forum for the 'big' database, my advice would be to ask in the Oracle Lite forum. Database Mobile Server (inc. legacy Database Lite)
If this is a formal evaluation, you could also get a Sales-sponsored trial which usually comes with 30-90 days of Metalink support. You would be able to search for notes like Doc 414106.1
Bottom line is that the code is for JDK 1.5 and it's being deployed against JDK 1.4.2. Something needs to be either upgraded or downgraded.

Unable to install Oracle Lite 10g on Windows 7 64-bit

I've tried installing Oracle Lite 10g on my Windows 7 64-bit computer but I get a message saying "JDK is not installed on machine". I even have Java installed on my computer too.
Any ideas what could be causing the issue?
Thanks
Gareth

Oracle lite 10g is not supported on Windows 7. The core issue is you are running on an unsupported platform.
You have may have to go in the docs and figure out what JDKs were supported, i think 1.4 and 1.5. and try
installing one of those and maybe you can get uninstall to work. This is just a guess though.
thanks
