Personal Oracle8i Installation on Win98

I just installed Personal Oracle8i for Win98. Installation works fine, database was created, net8 was configured. After rebooting my pc, I tried starting the database. An error message "Can not mount database" appears.
I also tried installing it to another pc. But this time, the database was not created. I tried creating the database using the Database Configuration Assistant but it takes so long and my pc hangs up. When I start the database, it prompted me for a password. I tried all passwords I knew(tiger, manager, oracle, change_on_install, etc), but nothing works.
Does anybody know how to fix these?

There is an Oracle 8i PE for Windows 98/ME
and one for Windows NT/2000.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I came to this forum to find help as to why I can't get my 8i PE to startup in Win98 and then I read your post which prompted me to find out what CD I had. I have PE for NT/2000. I could have sworn I got for 98. Now I know what my problem is and how to fix it :)

Personal Oracle8 installer causes error windows XP

Hello,
I tried to uninstall Personal Oracle8 from a Windows XP Professional. But while uninstalling a component it causes windows system error and asks to send a report to microsoft. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall it using Oracle installer or manually ?

Do you have access to Metalink? (metalink.oracle.com) There is a good document there that details how to completely remove all Oracle components from a Windows machine. It is doc. id. 124353.1 on Metalink.

Personal Oracle8i Installation on ME

I downloaded the Personal Oracle 8 software from the website (it took
seventeen hours on my home PC!).
Unfortunately, when I go to install it I get the error message:
'Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95
available for install from this staging area.'
I have spent all day trying to find out what this problem is on the
internet. I have found numerous pages telling me that other people have
experienced the same thing on XP, NT, etc - but no answers.
Can anyone help?
I am trying to run the programme from ME.
Regards (very frustratedly),
Richard ([email protected])

Personal Oracle8 v803 and Oracle8i Lite v40 on Win98

Is it possible to have Personal Oracle8 and Oralce8i Lite
running on the same machine? If it is, can someone tell me how?
Thanks,
Ronald
null

Ronald I don'tknow if you can run both
but at least for me converting was non\
trivial.
I removed personal oracle on my win98 machine
by running orainst and removing every thing
I could, then renaming the orawin directory,
and running the windows registry editor
and deleting the oracle section from
within a section callled software.
I am under the impression that O8 lite
is to replace personal oracle 8.
One thing that seems missing is
pl/sql.

Installation of Personal Oracle8i.

I have downloaded the Personal Oracle8i for Windows 98.
My PC has Windows ME.
While I am installing the downloaded Personal Oracle8i on my PC, it is giving the following error message:
"There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values of 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid.".
I bet the 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid. Why I am getting such error message and not able to install the Personal Oracle 8i?
Pl let me know the solution if anybody has faced such problem.
Thanks.
Ramesh.

Oracle servers are not supported under Windows ME. Windows ME is not the same as Windows 98. Windoes ME is designed for personal, not business, use.

Personal Oracle8 and Developer6 ?

I've installed Personal Oracle 8.0.3 on my Win98 computer. I
tried to install also Developer6 (required support files 8.0.5c),
but instalation was interrupted because of version conflict
between support files of Dev6 and Personal Oracle8 (I was
installing in one ORACLE_HOME). If I had ignored warning and
continued with instalation of Dev6, I was not able to start
Oracle database after succesfull installation of Dev6. I've got
message: "The Oracle80.exe file is linked to missing export
NZ80.dll:nztpfvec".
I tried to copy NZ80.dll from Oracle distribution to my
Oracle_Home, but database still was not operational.
Is possible to install these products to diffrent Oracle_homes?
Could anyone help me ?

Hi there,
You cannot have Oracle8 and Dev6.0 in the same Oracle home.
Install Dev6.0 in a different Oracle home.
I guess it should solve your problem.

Vikram

Oracle8i Installation Problems with RedHat 6.1

Hi all,
The Oracle8i installation process for Linux has MUCH room for improvement. After retrieving the so-called "User Friendly Install of Oracle8i on RedHat 6.1", I followed the steps diligently and after extending my swap space, I managed to get the install to work - sort of.... the install of "Database Assistant" failed.. Help on this issue if appreciated. However, a solution to the next problem is much needed:
After exiting the installer, I go $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl and run the "linux.sh" script (as given in the guide). This script is not successful-it does not find a library "-ldl". Is this an Oracle library? Help! I cannot proceed with the installation until I can get this to work!

Take a closer look were it fails exactly.
The linux.sh mainly calls the MaKe files in different directories to link the products together. dl is a library which should be found in your PATH staement. Use ldconfig -p to see which lib-path are include in your ld-path. Make shure that you've included the ld_library_path statement in your root .profile.
Hope this helps a bit.

Which ODBC driver for Personal Oracle8?

I'm using Personal Oracle8 and trying to connect via ODBC from a
Java program using JDBC. I can connect to MS Access 7 via ODBC
but I cannot connect to Personal Oracle8 using the delivered
ODBC 8 driver (8.0.4.0). Looking through the technet product
listing, the other ODBC 8 drivers only work with NT. I'm using a
laptop with Windows98. I'm stumped. What should I use and where
do I download it from please?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Are you connecting via a JDBC-ODBC bridge or just using the
native JDBC driver? The ODBC drivers (or JDBC drivers for that
matter) don't care if they run on WIndows 9x or NT. The problem
here might be that you are using Personal Oracle. This version is
not intended to be remotely connected to (i.e. from a remote
machine) -- it is only intended for bequeath connections (i.e.
processes local to the RDBMS). You CAN start a listener on the PO
RDBMS (it isn't running by default), although that really isn't
what it is intended to do (i.e. be a server). Try using the
workgroup or enterprise server instead.
The ODBC (and JDBC drivers) will need a listener running to
connect remotely (which is probably the source of your trouble).

Connection to Personal Oracle8 with JDBC - JDK 1.2

I am new to development with java and have been struggling the last four days implementing connecting to Personal Oracle8 via JDBC, JDK 1.2.
I have Personal Oracle8 installed on my machine along with JDK 1.2. I am confused on how to construct the URL that would point to my Local Database along with which driver to use. Can someone help me in out.
Thanks

Personal Oracle8.0 and Forms5.0

Hi all,
I installed Forms5.0 and Personal Oracle8.0 on my PC. I could
connect to the Oracle instance using SQL*Plus8.0. But when I
tried to connect to the Oracle Instance with Forms Builder I
could not!. Well, I could connect to Personal Oracle7.0 with
Forms5.0. But I need to know how to connect ot Personal
Oracle8.0. Anyone can help please?!!

Hi Emad,
here is your problem:
Personal Oracle8 uses the Beaquent driver to connect to the
database by default. This is why you can connect to the database
from sql*plus but not from the developer/2000. The trick is to
run the Net8 utility and create your very own tnsnames.ora,
listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files. After you created those
files, you will start the listener and then the database. The
listener will listen at port 1521 for the database (by default).
Then you will be able to connect from within the developer.
Try and if you will still have problems send me an e-mail.

Connecting personal oracle8 and dev2000

How to connect personal oracle8 and dev2000

ok, for connecting PO8 to D2k you have to do the same setting as for central database connectivity.
Anyway, here is the solution :
1. Make an entry in tnsname.ora for your PO8 sid.
2. Start the listener by giving the command lsnrctl start on command prompt.
3. Start the database.
4. Check the connectivity through SQL Plus.
5. If sql plus is connected, start forms and connect it from there.
Note : you may need to give po8.world in the connect string, but it is not required most of the time.
where po8.world is the entry in the tnsname.ora.
Best of luck

Unable to connect Forms 5 to Personal Oracle8

Hi,
I have recently installed Developer 2000 (release 2.1) and
Personal Oracle8 (release 8.0.4.0.0) on Windows 95.
I have made additions through both SQL Net Easy Config and Net 8
Config to allow for remote connections to my Oracle server at
work.
All the tools I am using - Forms 5, SQL Plus 8.0, Procedure
Builder, etc. - all connect to my server remotly through the
configurations I added. SQL Plus connects to Personal Oracle8
as well (ie the local databse).
My problem - None of the Developer 2000 tools will connect to
Personal Oracle8. I have played around at great lengths and am
stumped.
Can anybody suggest what I have to do to enable those tools to
connect locally?

Personal Oracle8i ODBC setup

How do I setup a stand-alone personal oracle8i database, on windows 98 platform, for use as an odbc datasource ?
I am told by a colleague that I will need to configure net8 first.
Is this correct, as there is no network.

If T-mobiles fix the issue then you'll find Email Setting icon on your device home screen which will let you set up your personal emails.
Steps are as follows -
Go to Email Settings icon on your device
Login using the user name and password (if already set by you)
Under Services click on Email Account
Click on Add An Email Account to integrate any POP or IMAP enable email (i.e... gamil, hotmail, ISP mail etc)
To create BlackBerry.net ID click on Create A BlackBerry Email Address
Type your preferred User Name and enter your Password for that ID
After every successful email integration you'll receive an confirmation email from Activation Server. That's it!! You're done with BIS email ID integration.
