Personal Oracle 8i + Developer 6

Hello,
I'd like to install Personal Oracle 8i + Developer 6 in my computer in order to practice, but when I've finished to install all, I can start database either open developer, but I can't connect to the
database. I think that I must do anything with the tnsnames.ora, listener or sqlnet files. Is it correct? What should I do?
Thanks.

Henry I am having the same problem. Anyone please help.
Thanks
Suresh

You cannot put Developer 6.0 and Personal Oracle 8 together on
the same home directory as there are conflicts between their
dlls. Either put them apart (different homes) or use a certified
version of Personal Oracle with Developer 6.0.

IF you do not use that "miserable" Personal Oracle 8.04, but using the far much better Personal Oracle 8.1.5 you can mail me at [email protected]

Connecting Personal Oracle 8i and Developer

Hi
The following works for me.
The critical files required are tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and listener.ora.
Put sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora in the ORACLE\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN directory.
Put sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora in the
ORAWIN95\NETWORK directory.
The following are how the files should look.
This is assuming the PO 8I installation defaults were taken (SID is ORCL, and GLOBAL DATABASE NAME is ORACLE).
Listener.ora file:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 2481))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = GIOP)
(SESSION = RAW)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = Oracle)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
tnsnames.ora file:
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oracle)
(SID = ORCL)
sqlnet.ora file:
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER=OFF
TRACE_DIRECTORY=C:\ORACLE\ORA81\NETWORK\LOG
trace_level_client = off
trace_directory_client = c:\orawin95\network\log
#sqlnet.authentication_services=(NONE)
names.directory_path=(TNSNAMES,HOSTNAME)
#names.default_domain=world
#name.default_zone=world
automatic_ipc = off# c:\oracle\ora81\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=OFF
TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT=C:\ORACLE\ORAWIN95\NETWORK\LOG
Create a shortcut for listener (C:\Oracle\Ora81\BIN\LSNRCTL.EXE).
Start developer.
Start PO 8i.
Start Listener and enter "start".
You should now be able to connect to Oracle
from Developer using scott/tiger and using oracle as the database name.
Good Luck.

Hi.
I too had problems getting Developer 6 to connect to Personal Oracle 8 on Windows 98.
Thanks to the information Jim posted I am now able to connect.
I followed Jim's instructions with three exceptions.
First exception - On my machine the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora file belong in the ORAWIN95\NET80 directory rather than ORAWIN95\NETWORK directory.
Second exception -- Personal Oracle 8 was installed in C:\ORA81 rather than C:\ORACLE\ORA81 so I adjusted pathnames as needed.
Third exception -- I made backup copies of the sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora, and listener.ora files that the installation had created before I started editing them.
My first attempt to start the listener failed with TNS-01152 message which indicated that the addresses provided to listener were not valid.
I replaced the listener.ora file in my C:\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN directory with the one that the installation had created then attempted to start the listener again.
The listener started successfully. I attempted to connect from Developer6 using scott/tiger@oracle. Developer6 connected!
Here is what my listern.ora file looks like:
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: # C:\ora81\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))

(ORACLE_HOME = C:\ora81)

(ORACLE_HOME = C:\ora81)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
Good Luck.

Connecting Developer 6 to Personal Oracle 8.1.0.5

I installed Personal Oracle 6.0 and Developer 6.0 on Windows 98 in different homes.
Have I install a network card to be able to connect Developer 6.0 to the personal Oracle 8.1.0.5 ?

Hi, how are you?
I read your file. On my computer, I got the same problem. First I installed Personal Oracle 8.15 version under window 98. The oracle home is e:\orale\ora81. Then I installed Form 8i in the orale home e:\oracle\ora. After installation, there are two SQLPLUS. One is under ora81 and another is ora. The one which is in e:\oracle\ora81 is working and it can bring up the database. Another one and Forms don't work. They can not connect to the local database. It means my client which is under e:\oracle\ora can't connect to my server which is under e:\oracle\ora81. I think I shoud set up the connection in tnsnames.ora by using Net8 Easy Config. I did it. It failed. Can you help me?
Thanks.

No, you shouldn't have to to.
If you have Personal Oraacle 8 running properly on your PC, then you can just connect to the database from Developer V6 using your normal username/password. For example, if you log on to SQLPLUS as scott/tiger, then the same will work for your forms and reports. You don't even need to enter a connect string. I have it working OK on a Windows '98 PC, with Personal Oracle 8i, and Forms v6i.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Developer rel 6i connection problem to Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.6)

Hi guys!
I have a very general problem regarding the connection to
personal oracle 8.1.6 database from developer 6i products.
I have oracle 8.0.5 client database portion and developer 2.1
installed on my WIN98 machine in as DEFAULT ORACLE HOME.
Then I installed Personal Oracle 8.1.6. in a separate directory
and separate ORACLE_HOME. I am able to connect from the SQL*PLUS
8.0 to the Personal Oracle 8.1.6
Then I installed D2K rel 6i in DEFAULT ORACLE_HOME as I was
informed that FORMS 6i should be installed in the DEFAULT ORACLE
HOME. Now when I try to connect to personal oracle 8.1.6 from
forms 6.0.8, the error message comes as the 'ORA-1034 ORACLE NOT
AVAILABLE '
I made sure that the directory in which the D2K 6i is installed
takes the first precedence in the PATH environment variable of
the AUTOEXEC.BAT
I made sure the listener for the personal oracle is working.
I seek your guidance.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Kalpesh.

I have also the same problem. Please help me too with this.

Developer 6 (Graphics)/Personal Oracle 7.3.3 - Connectivity

SQL*Plus, Forms and Reports, all seem to connect to Personal
Oracle V7.3.3 OK. However when I connect with Graphics, although
I get a message indicating successful completion, the logon
dialogue box is still displayed and the connection hasn't
succeeded.
Any ideas?

Faisal,
You may already have resolved this issue but just in case you
are still getting problems, here is some info that may help.
I faced the same problems with Oracle Developer 6 and Personal
Oracle 7.3.3. Oracle Developer 6 uses Net8 to connect to the db
whereas Personal Oracle 7 uses SQL*Net, hence the TNS problems
you have been getting.
There is a solution. Oracle Support suggested that you had to
have a listener running in order for the connection to work. To
do this you needed to instal the SQL*Net Add-Ons from the
Personal Oracle CD, configure TNSNAMES.ora to point to a dummy
IP address and start the listener. When I tried this I
discovered that you don't infact need amend the TNSNAMES.ora
file or run up the listener. As long as the SQL*Net add-ons are
installed, the connection from Oracle Developer 6 to Personal
Oracle 7 seems to work.
Hope this is of some help.

How to get connectivity between Personal Oracle 8.0.0.3 & Developer 2000 (Any Version

Can anybody tell me how to get connectivity between Personal Oracle 8.0.3 and Developer 2000 Rel 2.1 in Win 98 Environment.
I am able to install either Oracle 8 or Developer 2000 but not both, even if I use different Oracle Homes.
When I posted the same question to www.xperts.com someone wrote to me saying that a patch has to be used to get the connectivity.
I have been trying to solve the problem for last 6 months, but could not do it.
Can you please tell me how to get the connectivity or atleast tell me which version will facilitate connectivity in a stand alone PC.
Thanks and regards,

For Windows98. Worked for me, but no guarantee it will solve your problem.
1) Install Dev2K.
2) Install PO8i in a separate Oracle home.
3) Use the following for TNSNAMES.ORA in your DEV2K Home:
# C:\ORAWINKS\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:C:\orawinKS\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =

How to Download Personal Oracle

After trying several times to download Personal Oracle 9i, I perused this discussion group seeking a solution to a problem that I was having and finding that others were encountering the same problem.
Perhaps you have encounted a difficulty in unzipping the Personal Oracle downloads... I and others have reported the fact that there are mutltiple CRC errors in the downloaded file when you try to unzip it.
Well, after analysing the problem I have found a solution and surprise surprise it is marketedly similar to a problem I discovered with Oracle over 3 years ago... a problem which their tech support insisted had to do with the tuning of my companies server... well now I am not so sure that the problem is not inherant within Oracles handling of LOB's on the web. But instead of arguing an old point... let me detail for our users HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL there ORacle products.
Step by step:
1. Download the product
2. Download a second copy of the product and save it with a slightly different name
3. Unzip both copies with Winzip 8 or better. You must unzip them into seperate directories. Save the unzip log which tells you which files contained CRC errors.
4. Examine both logs and choose the version that contained the fewest CRC errors.
HERE IS THE SECRET... as in the problem my old employer discovered years ago... the errors occur randomly in LOB downloads... therefore the chance of the same file being corrupt in both downloads is very low.
5. The log will tell you which directory is being extracted and which file was corrupt... search the log for the string CRC in Wordpad... then find the missing file in the alternate tree and copy it to the working copy.
6. Repeat for each corrupt file.
7. when completed you can install the product from your working directory.
Its not pretty... but it works.
After searching for work for the last two months I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my skills with the latest version of Oracle... thank you Oracle for forcing me to use my skills to analyse your problems and develop a wotkaround... I now appreciate Postgres even more... I just wish there were employers who recognised that open source software is better supported than commercial products.
Anyone have a job lead in Denver for a developer with 20 years experiance?

Hello...
Simply amazing what it takes to download the 9i.
In fact I am still trying out your tip, and have had to work on 3 different ZIP sets so far!!
Still have one or two files that refuse to download right! (Especially the big ones).
I hope I get closer and closer to the final good set of install files soon!
Anyway, from what you say, it sounds like Oracle employs certain airheads...

Problem installing Oracle Internet Developer Suite 1.0.2.4.1 (Forms & Reports 6i)

Hi all,
I am unable to install Oracle Internet Developer Suite 1.0.2.4.1 - specifically Forms & Reports 6i, Designer, Discoverer (ALL Products on Quick Install option on Windows 98 system). The installation proceeds to Install screen when the various files start to load ... Then the whole process stops after showing 100% load (sometimes the screen freezes, sometimes I get error message - illegal instruction etc) when the following file is being loaded :
Extracting ... ewt_swingaccessbridge.jar
I have another question :
I have Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7) installed on D:\Oracle\Ora81 already.
During the install process (before I get the above error message) the 8.1.7 RSF-based product install location screen presents itself with the option to create a new Oracle Home and location (The preferred Oracle Home name iDSData and preferred Oracle Home Location D:\ORACLE\iDSData are already entered in the boxes) or Select an existing ORACLE_HOME. My existing ORACLE_HOME is
D:\Oracle\Ora81. What am I supposed to do at this point ? The installation guide is not explicit. Any help with these topics will be greatly appreciated.
I will be greatly obliged to anyone who can assist me with installing Forms & Reports 6i. Many thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Partha Sur

Had the same problem too. It won't install in the same directory as your database. You need to create a new directory on your hard drive and have it installed there. Worked for me.

I do not have oracle installed in my local system. I just want to write a few blocks and use it for my personal purpose. But for packages, procedures etc it is not allowing me use any connection.
I want a simple application for my personal use only which will help me to learn the basics.
Please guide me regarding that.

Help: Connecting to Personal Oracle 9i

I'm developing a web site that is going to use an Oracle database.
For that purpose I installed Microsoft Personal Web Server, and Personal Oracle 9i on a Windows 98.
I created a database using SQLPlus, but I can't connect to the database. I can't even create an ODBC connection.
The error message I get is ORA-12541. (no listener).
I am under the impression that the Personal Oracle doesn't work with a listener, is that right? What can I do in order to access the database from my client application?
Thanks ahead,
Fernando Cachicas.

The database listener usually runs as a service, but you can manually start it. Go to the bin directory of the DB and type:
"lsnrctl start"
