Redistribute Oracle 9i Lite client

Hi,
I'm having troubles to redistribute Oracle lite with my application on the Windows platform (to Windows '95 up to Windows XP).
How do I redistribute Oracle 9i Lite with my windows application?
Thanks in advance,
Peter Rakké

Install a fresh Mobile Client for Windows 32 on your Windows XP machine and launch msync.exe. Provide username/pwd and the Mobile Server URL. Select sync. This will create a fresh mobile db and install your Windows application

Oracle Database Lite Client database performance

Hi,
I need to know well does Oracle databse lite client databse works if it contains 3-3.5 GB data? Does it get sluggish beccause the maximum allowed is 4 GB?
Regards
Roomap

We had similar problems during the processing phase (delay here points at a client device issue).
We use Dell and HP PDAs, and have databases up to about 40MB. During the acceptance testing a couple of years back we were finding that the processing phase could be upto about 25 minutes on new builds/complete refresh
We tested out a few different scenarios that might help
1) clear down databse files and odbc.txt (this will force a complete rebuild without affecting any parameters) with the SD installed
2) repeat the above, but remove the SD card before the sync (this forces the databases to be put into my device/built in storage
3) try different types of SD cards
our results found that we would on average get
1) 15-20 minutes
2) 2 minutes
3) big variance of 2.5 to 20 minurtes, but consistent by manufacturer
It seemed that the different speed SD cards made a big difference, and even cards nominally the same speed from different manufacturers were very different in practice.
In some cases (Kingston was one i think), Japananese manufactured cards were much better than the european ones, even though they were supposed to be identical.
If you get a difference between the processing phase when using SD cards vs using main memory, i would expect the cards to be the issue.
NOTE we have also had issues where the user pressed the power off whilst the application was processing (we have some end of visit checks that can take up to 90 seconds). If this happened and they later resumed, the process would continue, but the few milliseconds delay in repowering the SD card was enough to cause device read and write errors. Again some cards were worse than others

Storing Foreign Characters in oracle 9i Lite Client Database.

Hi All,
My Database configuration Is
RDBMS VERSION 9.0.1.1.1
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
Operating System Windows 2000
My Oracle Lite configuration Is
Oracle9i Lite Release 5.0.2.0.8
Client Locations:
Africa,Europe,Asia,America
Currently all clients store data only in English in the client odb either through java and oracle forms applications.
We want to now store data for some specific tables, in the clients own language.Also we should be able to retrieve that data and see that data as it was entered.
For example :
The client in china after downloading the odb should be able to enter the data for that specific tables in the Chinese language.(They use windows 2000/XP English version).
1. What are the settings i need to do in the client environment?
like installing Chinese font or setting NLS_LANG parameter etc...
2. What are the settings i need to do in the server environment?
Because there should not be any loss of any data or junk values getting stored instead of actual values entered by clients.
Also when i query that specific tables in the oracle database after synchronization i should be able to view that data entered by the clients in their own language.
Eg:data entered by china clients should be visible in chinese fonts,
data entered by brazil clients should be visible in brazilian fonts,
data entered by vietnam clients should be visible in vietnamese fonts.
3. will there be any synchronization issues when clients try to sync after data entry with
their own languages?
Please do advice on these issue...........

I have given you the info of how to set up Oracle Lite for UTF8. I can only point you in the direction for globalization on the enterprise server. Also note that Oracle Lite only support NLS_LENGHT_SEMANTICS=BYTE, your EE database will be CHAR, so you have to alter the session paramter before you create the repository and/or publish your application.
Here is a Oracle Document on Globalization:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/TWP_AppDev_Unicode_10gR2.pdf
Here is what Oracle Lite's Developers Guide has on development of linguistic sorts:
2.11 Support for Linguistic Sort
Linguistic sort is a feature for the ASCII version of Oracle Database Lite. It produces culturally acceptable order of strings for a specified language or collation sequence. The ASCII version supports several code pages defined by single-byte 8-bit encoding schemes. Each of these code pages is a super set of 7-bit ASCII, and the additional accented characters necessary to support a group of European languages are included in the upper 128 bytes. A new string comparison mechanism is provided that produces strings in a linguistically correct order by mapping each collation element of a string to the corresponding 8-bit value of the supported code page.
2.11.1 Creating Linguistic Sort Enabled Databases
The linguistic sort capability must be enabled when the database is created using the CREATEDB command line utility with the <collation_sequence> enabled.
Note:
For more information on the CREATEDB utility, see Section A.2, "CREATEDB".
The behavior of the ORDER_BY clause and the WHERE condition are determined by how the NLS_SORT parameter is implemented. Binary sorting is the default setting, and is used unless the <collation_sequence> parameter is set to use the linguistic sort ordering rules.
NLSRT is not supported in the current version of Oracle Database Lite. Therefore, NCHAR data type is not yet available.
2.11.2 How Collation Works
Collation refers to ordering of strings into a culturally acceptable sequence. A collation sequence is a sequence of all collation elements from an alphabet from smallest collation order to the largest. Once a collation sequence is given, orders of all strings from the same alphabet are fixed. As such, the collation sequence encodes the linguistic requirements on collation. A collation element is the smallest sub-string that can be used by the comparison function to determine the order of two strings.
2.11.3 Collation Element Examples
Normally, a collation element is just one character. In binary sorting, only one property, the code value that represents a character, is used. But in linguistic sorting, usually three properties. The primary level of difference is the base character. The secondary level of difference is for diacritical marks on a given base character. The tertiary level of difference is for the case of a given character. Punctuation can function as a fourth level of difference, but comparisons for punctuation occur last and are made at the binary rather than the linguistic level. These are used for each collation element. The following sections contain examples that demonstrate sorting priorities.
2.11.3.1 Sorting Normal Characters
This section lists a set of examples that describe how to sort normal characters.
Example 1
'a' < 'b'. There is a primary difference between them on the character level.
Example 2
'À' > 'a'. This difference occurs on the secondary level. Note that 'À'and 'a' are considered "equal" on the primary level.
Example 3
'À' < 'à' in FRENCH but 'À' > 'à' in GERMAN. This difference on the tertiary level. Note that 'À' and 'à' are considered being "equal" on the primary and secondary level. Also note that the case convention may be different for different language.
Example 4
'às' < 'at'. This is a difference on the primary level. This example shows the role of difference levels: the lower level differences are ignored if there is a primary level difference anywhere in the strings.
Example 5
'+data' < '-data' <'data' <'data-'. If strings are compared and present no difference on the primary, secondary, or tertiary levels, they are compared for punctuation.
2.11.3.2 Reverse Sorting of French Accents
Some languages, particularly French, require words to be ordered on the secondary level according to the last accent difference. This behavior is known as French secondary sorting or French accent ordering.
Example
'côte' < 'coté' in FRENCH but 'coté' < 'côte' in GERMAN. Note that the secondary difference of 'e' and 'é' occurred later than those of 'ô' and 'o'.
2.11.3.3 Sorting Contracting Characters
There are some special cases where two or more characters in a group can function as a single collation element. These types of collation elements are called 'contracting characters' or 'group characters'. In these cases each of these characters properties are assigned appropriate values.
Example
'h' < 'ch' < 'i' in XCZECH. Here 'ch' is assigned a primary property value which differentiates it from 'h' and 'i', such that 'h' < 'ch' < 'i'. Note that 'ch' is treated as a single character.
2.11.3.4 Sorting Expanding Characters
If a letter sorts as if it were a sequence of more than one letter, it is called an 'expanding character'. For example, in German the sharp s (ß) is treated as if it were a string of two characters 'ss' when comparing with other letters.
2.11.3.5 Sorting Numeric Characters
Only sorting of single digit characters from '0' to '9' is currently supported. For the supported European languages a digit character is always sorted as greater than any alphabetic character. For other languages this may be not the same. Other numeric characters such as Roman numeric characters and counting sequences, such as "one", "two", "three", are not supported at this time.
Example
'1' > 'z' in any European language, '1' < 'a' in LATVIAN. Note that this difference occurs on the primary level.

Oracle 10g Lite with ADF/BC4J Application(Offline access in Mobile )

Hi All,
We have the following requirement from one of our client.
Customer Company has R12 Apps instance(which is having 10g Database APPSDB). The users will come in the morning
and connect to the System(NEWSYSTEM) to download their daily worksheet(resides in APPSDB) to their Mobile Devices
(Windows XP - http://www.keenzo.com/zoom.asp?zoom=3830134) and then disconnect from the system. The download of data
should start after login into their Mobile Device Custom Application So that only their worksheet will be downloaded
to their Mobile Device DB.
Then they will goto their fields and review their daily worksheet in the Mobile Device application(NEW APPLICATION)
in offline mode. And update in the application with their findings, which should be stored in the Mobile Device database(MOBILEDB).
In the evening the uses will come and connect to the system(NEWSYSTEM) and login into their Mobile Application and
start the upload process, then the updated data from their Mobile Database will be uploaded into APPSDB via the NEWSYSTEM.
I checked the links, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/index.html and http://lite.us.oracle.com and I have
got some understanding about Oracle 10g Lite. For the above requirement we are proposing the NEWSYSTEM as Oracle 10g Lite Server
and the NEW APPLICATION as ADF/BC4J which can run in their Mobile Devices(work offline and then sync with DB).
I have the following questions.
1) The above proposing system is feasible?
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application
in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
I am new to Oracle 10g Lite, correct me if any of my understanding is wrong.
If you have any comments in the approach please add it.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Kali.

1) The above proposing system is feasible?
perfecly feasible, and actually a reasonably standard use of oracle lite
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
Actually two different questions here. The application code that runs on the client device can be written in any thing that will run on that type of device, and is capable of using the APIs to connect to the local database, and the other functionality like synchronisation. From the forum there look to be VB, C, java users out there (an i even believe if you wanted to, you could use forms). Main decision regarding the Platform for the application code development tends to be whatever you have the skills in.
In terms of the sync process only downloading a particular users worksheet, this would be defined when you define the snapshots of the database tables you want to download, rather than the sync login process itself.
For example - you have a table WORKSHEETS on the server that you want to download, it has a column EMP_NO which is the employee identifier. You would define the selection for the snapshot as
select * from WORKSHEETS where EMP_NO=:emp_no (note the bind variable)
when you then add users to the oracle lite application (actually the database), then you will have a parameter called EMP_NO to define with the employee number for that particular user, and this will be used automatically as the bind variable in the download.
NOTE subsetting in this way does not need to be direct, for example things like
select * from TASKS where id in (select task_id from user_tasks where emp_no=:emp_no) is perfectly valid
NOTE when reading the forum and documentation, be careful of the word application. There are actually two different things to be developed, both normally called 'application'
Within oracle lite you create an application with publication items, scripts, sequences etc. and then subscribe your users to this application. The application in this context is actually the database and synchronisation management ONLY (you can include files and code for download)
The second application is your runtime code that has a user interface, functionality, processing and validation. This is written in some development platform, and accesses the database created above for select, insert, update etc.
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
YES this goes on the app server and installs a repository schema MOBILEADMIN within your database
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
YES - once the server is set up, this is downloaded and set up by accessing the <server url>/webtogo/setup
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
steps in outline are
1) install server
2) develop the oracle lite application (ie: database) and publish this to the mobile server (can use the development kit or java APIs for these two steps
3) add a user with the relevant subsetting parameters
4) set up oracle lite win32 client on the laptop from the server download
5) synchronise using the msync utility on the client to create the databases and odbc entries
6) develop your application code using the client database
7) during development, then changes to database structure would be via changes and re-publish of the oracle lite application, followed by a sync to update the client database
8) once all development is complete, the runtime application code can be bundled up into the oracle lite application if you want, and then the initial sync for live users will download the database and application code.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
You can set up a standalone server on the laptop, but better to do this on a development app server so you can use the main server development database as the data souce for the snapshot definitions (pretty easy install). there are conflicts if you try and put the oracle lite client and the mobile development kit on the same machine, but if you are familiar with java, the API development is fairly straightforward to use (i have developed applications in this, and i know only the basics of java) you do not need the MDK
Basic for a POC i would say is to
1) set up mobile server on development
2) define a simple oracle ite application on two server tables. one has select * from table, and the other has select * from table where .... including bind variable. at this stage use complete refresh as the mode for simplicity
3) publish the application, create user and define the subsetting variable
4) set up mobile client and synchronise user. use the msql utility to interrogate the database and check the content, and do some updates 9standards SQL syntax)
5) create simple appliaction code to conect to and read the database on the client
6) do a sync after the updates above and check they appear in the server
The above should be reasonably quick and proves
a) ability to define the data you want to be sent to the users
b) ability to create an app to manage the database running on the client device in you preferred software platform
c) data download and upload
after this basic POC, you can extend into defining fast refreshes to improve the efficiency of the sync process, managing the MGP process, developing a more comprehensive database and application etc. If you have complex joins between server table, you may also want to look at creating views to denormalise data and use these as the basis for the snapshots

Oracle 9i lite connection with a Java Client

Hi,
I would like to connect a Java Client developed using PersonalJava edition for PDA with an Oracle 9i lite version which is also on PDA.
I would like to know is it possible to connect such a client (Java) using some JDBC drivers on PDA.
if yes please do suggest a suitable driver and some input tips as to how to connect a GUI developed in Java directly to Oracle on PDA.
I am not too sure whether some web/application server is required in the whole setup.
because in N-Tier Architecture we have a middle layer of Application /Web servers in between a client screen(usually a Browser) and Database.
but I am not aware weather it is possible to directly connect Java Swing or Client application as I mentioned above developed using Personal edition with a database using only some driver software but no other middle ware component in between.i.e forming a 2 tier client server model.
please do let me know your valuable suggestions at [email protected]
thanks,
Ashish

I connect to the database through the same user that created those tables. Do I still need a public synonym ?

Oracle 8i Lite - OO4O and other Questions

1.) Can OO4O (Oracle Objects for OLE) be used with the Oracle 8i Lite database ?
2.) Does Oracle 8i Lite operate as a "client/server" database ?
3.) Is it possible to have multi-user access to Oracle 8i Lite ?
4.) Is there documentation somewhere that lists all of the limitations with 8i Lite as compared to 8i ?
We are in the planning stages of a partial mobile system, and want to know how much difference in development efforts for the 2 platforms (Oracle 8i on Win 2000 server and Oracle 8i Lite on NT/98/95 Laptops).
Any information on Oracle 8i Lite would be appreciated. -- Especially need an answer to question 1 right now.
Thanks,
Paula

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

Branch office installation of Oracle 8i Lite

I have developed a Java application using Oracle 8i Lite. I know, how to extract a required datbase file and supporitng run time files using deploy utility for stand alone machine. Thus, i can zip and send those file by email or thru web server to the client for installation on stand alone machine.
Since we can not use the Web to GO server, we want to send the Branch office database and its run time files (Only required files for running and not for developing) for server as well as for client to work in the LAN in the same manner as how deployed on stand alone machine without sending the Oracle lite CD and without using the Web to GO server.
In short, we want to install the Branch office Database machine files and Branch office client files by sending only required files in email without using web to go server and without sending Oracle lite CD.
Advance thanks for your valuable reply.
Thansk and Best regards

Performance Issues on Oracle Database Lite 10.3.0.3

Hello,
we have a big problem with one of our customers. He uses Oracle Database Lite in the standalone version. There are about 600 clients running a project with about 20 Publication Items. The customer works in the logistics field, so the Main time where nearly all clients want to sync and get their tours is from 02 AM to 05 AM, so that is the time with the most traffic.
Everything went well before last week. Suddenly the compose cycle needs (at least between that hours) about ten times longer than before. Normally we had about 40 - 80 seconds, now we have about 300 - 500 average with max values from over 1200 seconds.
Therefore we have a lot of conflicts and Disconnects on the clients. It is sometimes that bad, that nearly no client can sync successfully.
We checked our Selects in the publication Items, all are very fast and look good in the explain plan, so that shouldnt be the problem.
The installation is nearly in the Default state as oracle does when you install Oracle Lite. Are there any standard settings we can change? Does anyone had the same problem already?
The Machine is a Windows Server 2003 with an Intel Xeon CPU E7-4820 and 4 GB of RAM.
Of course our customer gets a lot of trouble because of that and we have to improve and fix that as fast as we can.
Any recommendation or opinions are very welcome.
If I have to give more Info about somewhat please feel free to ask, I will give it as fast as possible.
Thanks in advance
Holger

Hey,
many thanks for your proposals. The MGP runs every minute like the default settings are, because our application is a time sensitive. The data have to be very fast on the clients in the nights and thex are only a few minutes before available. I think the parameters are important in environemnts where the mgps runs only after a few minutes?
Let me summarize the situation since my las post:
We have days (nights) where everything goes quite well. Mainly that is thrusday and friday. But on the other hand, there are days where everything really is a mess.
The mgp caycles increase and when you look to mobile manager you see 70 clients syncing very very slowly (about 300 - 600 seconds) for just a little bit of data. Then we get the disonnects and the messages in the err.log.
What do you think, is this somehow network related, or ist this a logical problem in the Mobile Server itself?
Like postes earlier, there are 500 clients syncing against a standalone mobile server.
We just couldnt figure out, why the mgp times somehow and sometimes increase that much, that there are these problems.
First we thought, that they sync newly over wireless (GPRS or Edge) and that syncing is that slowly, that everything goes down, but arent sure. Is this possible because of the architecture of the Mobile Server? That a very slow network can slow down the mgps and that does timeouts and all the other stuff?
How many clients can a Standalone Mobile Server normally serve at same time without performance problems. What do you thin about the hardware I wrote? Is it powerful enough?

Sequencing and Trigger on Oracle 9i lite database

We created a schema (TESTSCHEMA) on Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise edition and have a created a trigger which will use the sequence object to generate primary key for the table (TEST_TABLE)
Sequence creation:
CREATE SEQUENCE TESTSCHEMA.TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE START WITH 6000 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 6000 MAXVALUE 6999 NOCACHE NOCYCLE NOORDER ;
Trigger creation:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TABLE INSERT BEFORE INSERT ON TEST_TABLE FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
pkValue NUMBER;
BEGIN
pkValue := 0;
Select TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE.NextVal into pkValue from dual;
:NEW.TEST_KEY := pkValue;
END TEST_TABLE_INSERT;
We have created a snapshot of the schema on mobile server, synchronized the data with the client (Win32 for testing purpose).
The trigger works fine on the server, but when I run the same query on the lite database with msql it gives me an error:
[POL-3221] null key in primary index
I was wondering if Sequence generation and Triggers are supported on Oracle 9i lite database ? Or am I missing out something ??
Any information/ help is appreaciated
Thanks
Neeraj

You can't use SAVEPOINT / ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT statements in the database trigger:
ORA-04092: cannot SET SAVEPOINT in a trigger
ORA-04092: cannot ROLLBACK in a trigger
I am not sure what you need exactly, but you can try this:

Oracle 9i Lite SYNC Error in PALM

Hi,
I have Installed Oracle 8.1.6 Server in a Machine & Oracle 9i Lite 5.0 in a Machine, when i try ro connect & SYNC with my PALM Device OS 3.5 i get a [CNS-2000] Server send Error - 9025:0
Message, check log in the PALM device using mSYNC.
I have installed the Patchset 5.0.0.4 and have done all the settings related to the configuration.
Kindly help as it is very urgent to establish the connection SYC between the PALM & the Oracle.
Thaks & Regards,

If this is happening on the upload of the data from the client, it is normally due to a mismatch between the DDL of the publication item and the corresponding in queue table (CFM$WTGPI_nnnnn).
Have you made changes on the server to the table/view definitions?
If so then have you re-published? If there is data in the in queue or error queue it will sometimes not refresh the mobileadmin tables with the changed columns/data types, although if you use API's i believe you may be ok. If there is no mismatch on the server, what about the format of the table on the client? it may be trying to upload some changes

Oracle 8i Lite Start up

Hi everybody,
I've windows/2000 pro installed on my m/c. The client version of it.
I'm using this m/c to surf the net and do some MS Acesses development and VB development. Now, I'm trying to do something with Oracle 8i Lite. I've received oracle 8i Lite Version 4.0.0.2.0 for Micorosoft Windows NT from Oracle corp in CD.
I installed this software in my machine.
When I had Oracle 7 a year or long back, after the installation, I had start and stop icons to start the database and stop to shut down the database, but oracle 8i is not like that.
Now, I dont know how to start or configure the oracle db, and access the db using sql*plus so that I can create some stored procedures and call them from Sql*plus.
Could somebody throw some ideas to understand this Oracle 8i lite version.
Regards,
Suresh

You will have to be a bit more specific about the error messages you get. Did you start the database and listener?

Oracle 8i Lite Synchronizatoin Problem--Very Crucial and Urgent

Currently,we are using Oracle 8i lite Version Release 4.0.1 in
our project.
Following is the problem we are facing during Web-To-Go
Synchronization.
We have published about 200 snapshots of tables on the Web-to-go
server.
After Installing the Web-to-Go Client,
the first time we went Offline, both the webtogo.odb and the
user odb got downloaded to the client's machine.
the size of user odb was about 10.7 MB containing 200
snapshots,without any data and the application about 15 MB.
We checked up the odb using plus80 and verified that all the
tables have been created(200 snapshots+200 snapshot logs).
Once we went Online , a memory/application error (illegal
operation,unable to access memory) was displayed.The m1 file
also remained in the client's machine.
Basically the synchronization fails from client to server.
Everytime the synchronization is fine,if the odb needs to be
created freshly,but once created and synchronized,the same error
is displayed.
We tried publishing with a reduced no of tables,and it went on
fine with both offline and online up to a size 8.28MB,with
about 152 tables.
An increase of even 10 KB by an addition of 2 more tables,gives
out the same error.
The limit on the no of snapshots is specified as 256 per refresh
group.
We are using only 200 as of now and that should be ok.
Please let us know the possible reasons for such kind of a
problem.
Let us know in case of any other clarification regarding the
problem.
Is there any limitation or requirement at the client site,w.rt
memory?
Pls Help
Meena.

Oracle 8i Lite and Palm, Windows CE and EPOC

This may be a simple question to developers (which I am not), but we have a client who is seeking advice regarding the use of Palm Pilots, Psion or similar devices for field recording of data.
Their database is Oracle 7.3.4 (soon to be upgraded to 8) with development done in Forms 5. I understand that Oracle 8i Lite enables a database of this vintage to be used in conjunction with the handhelds, but I do not understand the process.
Is Oracle 8i Lite loaded onto the handheld? Or is it used to convert the required tables and forms into cut down versions for the limited use by the smaller device?
What is the role of the host PC for the smaller devices?
I guess - how does it work in layman's terms.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

We haven't tried 8i Lite on a palmtop. But we are trying to use it over the Internet and we are having some problems. Have you used 8i Lite over the Internet?!?
Thanks..

Oracle 8i Lite Sqlplus connections

Hi
I am trying to run 2 concurrent sqlplus connections in Oracle 8i lite ... it works fine ... if I dont make any changes to database. But Once I commit the changes .... I am not able to make any more connections ....it gives OCA-30017 "Error Loggin on to non-oracle database" and fails connecting to oracle 8i lite. I am using the standard ODBC driver (Oracle Lite) to connect to sqlplus. Please help !!!
Thanks
Prabhu.

I am using Windows 2000 Professional and I am experiencing the same problem. I can connect to the POLITE database from Oracle8 Navigator and Oracle ODBC 32bit Test but not from SQL*Plus. Here is what I see:
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.29.0
Oracle Lite ORDBMS 4.0.1.0.7
SQL> connect system/mgr@odbc:POLite
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected.
SQL> connect system/mgr
ERROR:
ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
Should I try to upgrade my Open Client Adapater (OCA)? Could it be something with my PATH? How can I set up the default TNS to connect to POLITE? Any suggestions?

George,
Try the following host string: ODBC:POLITE
Lite typically uses the SID of POLite for installation of the default database, so this host string should do the trick. If not, drop me an email and we'll work through it together.
Hope this helps!
