Best Regards

Joel,
My problem is that forms6i crash and Don't give me any information, i think the problem i SQLNET 8.0.6, because i have trouble with sqlplus, query builder,etc. all products of the forms6i CD.
Is posible to user forms6i with another version of SQLNET ?

If your database is using the AL32UTF8 character set, Forms 6i cannot connect.

Problem when connecting locally to Oracle Database 10g from Java code

Good afternoon,
I try to connect to my local Oracle 10g from JAVA code. Could somebody tells me what are the 'values' to enter in place of 'value1, value2, value3' in the following:
final String connectionURLThin = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@value1:value2:value3";
I tried to put my 'user' and 'pw' credentials I used when connecting with SQL*PLUS:
value1=my_user_name
value2=my_pw
value3=my_schema
but it doest work. Besides where could have I to put the 'WORKSPACE" name?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, the network connection could not be established. Like the error said.
What you're asking about is the exact reason, but that could be any number of things and not at all related to code. You could have the wrong host, the wrong port. A firewall could be blocking the outgoing connection, a firewall could be blocking the incoming connection. Etc. etc.

How to connect to remote Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Hi,
I am very new to Oracle. I have created a successful application using OCCI call (createConnection()) to connect to local (resided on the same PC) Oracle Database. Now I would like to move the application to resided on a different PC and try to connect to Oracle Database. Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this? Well at least for me, self study on OCCI documentation is pointing to the right direction ;-)
OCCI requires only four shared libraries (or dynamic link libraries, as they are called on some operating systems) to be loaded by the dynamic loader of the operating system.
Installing Instant Client resolve this.
Cheers!

Connecting webserver to oracle database 10g didn't work

Hi,
I have webserver installed on SuSE Linux ES 10. I want to connect webserver to my oracle database 10 which is installed on SuSE Linux ES 9. I have download the instant client. But there is no success in connecting webserver to database. Can anyone in this forum give me step by step help for configuring this?
Regards
Trusha

Check the documents at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/index.html
Your webserver machine will need to have some Oracle libraries installed, e.g. the Oracle Instant Client. There are steps given in a few places including the Underground PHP & Oracle Manual.
You might need to adjust some paths that differ on Suse.

Problems connecting to an Oracle database

The service name in my pc is GACASASF and the name of the table that I'm trying to
query is DEPT.
Could you please tell me what's wrong with my connection, is not working.
I think that it has something to do with the connecting string.
I went to ODBC help for oracle connections and the connection strings that I found are
1) DSN=Personnel;UID=Kotzwinkle;PWD=;
2) DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};UID=Kotzwinkle;PWD=whatever;DBQ=instl_alias;
DBA=W;
DSN= ODBC data source name
UID = user name
PWD = password
DBQ = service name
DBA = connection mode W = write, R = read
I don't know how to embed this in my syntax.
I will appreciate any info that you can give me.
thx,

A stack trace for the exception would be very useful!
Anyway, perhaps you should check that the username/password specified in the code correspond to those required to access the database (username = "Kotzwinkle", password = "whatever"). Sometimes you can get away with specifying these in the ODBC data source, in which case you shouldn't pass them to the getConnection method.
Hope this helps.

Connecting to an Oracle database using ASP

Hi
I am having problems connecting to an Oracle database using ASP. I am trying to do this for a school project the school's database server is running Oracle 9i. The repository is version 6. The web server I have access to only has ASP not ASP.net. What kind of connection string would I need to be able to connect to the database?

You do need to ensure that the Oracle client and Oracle server are compatible, but that is generally pretty easy to accomplish. Unless you are trying to cross more than one major release (i.e. 9.2 client to a 7.3.4 database), you're pretty safe there.
You could try downloading and installing the latest 8.1.7.x Oracle ODBC driver from OTN on the machine with the 8.1.7 Oracle client (I believe the last ODBC patchset was 8.1.7.10), but I don't have particular confidence that that will solve the problem. If it doesn't, we can do an ODBC trace to focus in on the issue, but installing a new driver is a much easier process, so that probably ought to be the first step.

Problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.

Sorry to interrupt all of you.
I have encountered a problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.
As I would like to
I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to create a connection.
According to "tnsnames.ora", the paramater of connection is as follows;
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = XE))
Unfortunately, when I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to test the connection, an error message is prompted as follows:
Connecting....
The test did not succeed.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
After I google it, I still have no idea how to solve the problem. I would like to ask, could anyone mind providing some hints or solution to address the issues.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I don't believe the Net8 Easy Config (NEC) will create a compatible entry in the tnsnames.ora. I have Forms 6i running successfully against a 10g Express database, but I did not use the NEC - I created the entry myself. Here is the entry I use:
XE=
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=<<servername or IP address>>)
      (PORT=1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SERVICE_NAME=XE)
)Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.
Operating system is Windows Vista.
I started installing using the following commands.
@ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
I don't know what the input shall be.
Then it again stops at enter value for version:
I used 3.2.1.0
The window scrols a while and closes.
later I changed the password and ran the command.
