OS X Database software?

So uhm..... I spent like 2 weeks creating a well designed databse in MS Access (on a windows desktop)..
And now I find out that MS Access isnt on OSX! 
How on earth do I now view, insert and edit my database on OS X?

You don't. You could install Windows and Access on your computer using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Or you could install Windows and Access using Bootcamp Assistant.
So thje short answer is you can't run Access with OSx but you could install Windows and run Access in Windows.

  • Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

    Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
    Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
    1. (Operations) default is Create a database
    2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
    3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
    4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
    5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
    6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
    7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
    8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
    9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
    10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
    11. (Database storage) no options available
    12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
    Click finish
    I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

    I've removed the software from my computer using control panel, programs & features then uninstall once but the other five times the software hasn't been listed. Whilst the Oracle was on my task bar I was able to install using Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME-NAME > Database Administration > Database Configuration Assistant.No you didn't. Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

    Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
    Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
    Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
    However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
    So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
    If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
    Hope this is some help.And
    I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
    Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
    How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
    Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

  • MS SQL Server Database software license details

    Hi,
    I have three queries regarding buying license from sap for MS SQL server software which will be used for SAP Businees suite application.
    If we buy database license directly from Microsoft,
    1. Will there be any issue in getting support from sap for database related issues during installation and post go live ?
    2. Do we have access to download the database software CD provided by SAP or do we have to get it from Microsoft ?
    3. Is there any difference in the database software provided by Microsoft and by SAP?
    Please update me as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Nalla

    > 1. Will there be any issue in getting support from sap for database related issues during installation and post go live ?
    No.
    > 2. Do we have access to download the database software CD provided by SAP or do we have to get it from Microsoft ?
    If you license from Microsoft you will need to get the media from Microsoft.
    > 3. Is there any difference in the database software provided by Microsoft and by SAP?
    No difference but SAP provides a script (sql4sap.vbs) that does necessary setups automatically and installs all patches automatically. You will need to do that then manually.

  • Delete Oracle database software

    Hi people,
    I´ve uninstalled a central instance, now I want to uninstall  the database software, but in the installation guide in chapter 6 (Additional information) It says the next:
    The Oracle software is installed on all hosts where an SAP instance is running, for example, on a central instance host, database host, or dialog inst ance host. Do not delete t he Oracle database software, if another SAP inst ance is running on the same host.
    But the uninstalled instance was in the oracle home --> oracleCH1102 and the other instance that is up and running is in another oracle home --> oraclePES102.  I have to follow the guide or can uninstall the oracle database software because in your oracle home there aren´t any instance up and running?
    More thanks

    hi,
    make a backup for your oracle central directory before any detachment.
    if your oracle version is 11g, you can no longer launch OUI to detach oracle home. please have a look on Note 1525025 - Oracle 11.2.0: Oracle Software Deinstallation.
    Cheers,
    Thanks,

    Please advise.

    It seems that the path from where the installation has been started is too long. So you have to shorthen the following path were the RDBMS-software was copied to. 
    Current path (might be much longer, because of ~ placeholders):
    D:\Basis\5103481\DB2_LU1\WINDOW~1\ESE\image\setup.exe
    Please copy the RDBMS-DVD to an other shorter path, so that the path to setup.exe is e.g. 
    D:\short_path\WINDOWS_I386\ESE\image\setup.exe                                                                               
    The problem here is not the lentgh of this singel path. The problem is that in several steps this path will be multiplied in length until the limit is reached. Then the installation will fail.                                                                               
    Please try again with the shorter path.

  • 11gr2 Database Software Install Problem

    Hi
    Running 11gr2 install on VM with redhat linux 64. Grid install was okay, however database software install hits this error during prereqs check.
    PRVF-5322 : Failed to get the CRS user name for CRS home "/opt/oracle/grid/product/11.2.0"
    Has anyone seen this before? Please note that this is not a RAC build.

    Hi,
    Had the same issue.
    The problem was that /tmp was mounted with the 'noexec'-option (although I specified a different temp by setting the variable TMP, which works fine, except for this issue):
    # mount|grep /tmp
    /dev/mapper/vg00-tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noexec,nodev)
    I solved this issue by remounting /tmp with the 'exec'-option:
    # mount -o remount -o exec /tmp
    # mount|grep /tmp
    /dev/mapper/vg00-tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,nodev)

  • Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server

    Hi,
    Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server
    Microsoft is often unfairly slammed for security issues, says NGSS
    http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005383&intsrc=hm_list
    Post your comments on this stupid artical.
    Thanks!
    M T

    This is a case where size does matter.
    When they say errors reported on oracle are about 4 times more than the ones reported on SQL server they forgot to say something like: SQL server is able to do... what a 10%, a 5% or whatever of what oracle can do.
    Anyway who sayd this forgot to say that they worked with microsoft trying to improve SQL sever security features as well.
    http://www.nextgenss.com/press-releases/ngs-and-the-sql-server-security-essential-guide/
    They have a reason to say it. Who would say "I made a bad job!"
    In my opinion there is no way yet to compare oracle to any other DBMS under any point of view.

  • Download Oracle Database Software

    Hello,
    Can anyone please tell me the path for download the Oracle 10g Database Software  from SAP support portal?
    From the Downloads-->Database Patches I've downloaded the PatchSets for Oracle 10.2.0.2
    But where can I found the 10g DB SW.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ruzica

    Hi Ruzica,
    It was discussed at this thread:
    Upgrading from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2
    But, in summary: Yes, you must upgrade the Oracle Client (to 9.2.0.7 or 9.2.0.8) before the DB Upgrade, and during the Upgrade you are asked to install Oracle Instant Client 10.

  • Can anyone recommend any database software

    Hi,
    I am looking to obtain database software that can offer the same sort of features as MS Access, can anyone recommend any software? i am just starting up my own business and need to create something to store customer information etc.
    Thanks

    Unlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
    Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
    Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.

    Hi,ssolbach:
    thank you.
    environment is good.
    You mean ./addNode copy Oracle database software to new node?
    No,in fact,I can not continue the installation.
    as well know, when add clusterware to new node, when GUI goes "add new nodes list",It will list the new member with hostname,host-vip,host-priv,
    While add database software to newnode,the same GUI will display 'host_name' only.
    the problem I meet is:
    After finished add clusterware to new node, I add database software to new node. and when "add new node list",it dispaly new member with hostname,host-vip,host-priv. so that,I cannot proceed the installation.

    I'm looking for database software for home use, to keep track of a large collection.  The software would need to have the capability of attaching photos to a record.  I imagine at most I'll have 500 records with 20-30 attributes at most per record.

    Have you looked at Bento.
