Download times out after 3 hours or so when using a 256k ADSL line (23KB/sec). Can I get the same download via FTP? Or in smaller chunks?
Many thanks in advance

The OCI drivers require a client-side DLL in order to work. I believe it also needs some of SQL*Net. The client-side DLL is available with the Oracle Client software distribution.
You need to install the Oracle Client software that matches the version of the JDBC drivers you are using on the machine where you are trying to make the connection (the client).
If you are using the ORacle 8.1.5 JDBC drivers, you need the ORacle 8.1.5 Client software (regardless of what version of the database you are connecting to). Check the Paths tab in your project properties to see what version of the drivers you are using. By default it is 8.1.5 with JDev 2 and 3.0.
If you want to use a different version of the JDBC drivers, make sure to see the online help for switching driver versions.

Which Forms version works with Personal Oracle 8i

Can any one let me know which version of Forms/Developer works with Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7)? The OS that I have Personal Oracle 8i is Windows 2000. Also is the Forms/Developer version that goes with this available for download? If yes, where?
Thanks in advance,
Aruna.

you can use forms/reports developer 6i (for client/server and web) against 8.1.7 P.E. on windows 2000. I tested this configuration in the past and it worked fine. You can download the forms/reports developer 6i from OTN (from the forms download page).

Has anyone experience with personal oracle on a lone machine?

I keep changing configurations around trying to connect with personal oracle running on my own machine. Right now, EasyConfig doesnt like any of the service_names I give it and gives me ORA-12514. Please post or e-mail me. Thanks

According to the information on this page the required Aircard 580 card is NOT compatible with any version of the Mac OS. Which is really odd since the banner across the top of the page proclaims "wireless, mobile web access for your mac". Perhaps they intend for you to buy a compatible phone and use Bluetooth connectivity to allow the phone to act as a modem for your Mac.
The built-in wireless of your Mac does not allow you to connect directly to cellular networks like BlueMobility.
After some more digging... I found this page which supposedly lists the Mac compatible options.

Discoverer 3.1.x Install on NT with Personal Oracle 8i

Can Discoverer 3.1.x be installed on a Windows NT machine that already has Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.6) installed on it? If so, how?
The Discoverer Installer posts some contradictory error messages when I try to do this.
First, if I try to install Discoverer to a separate ORACLE_HOME, the Installer tells me that the Installer does not support multiple installations and that Discoverer must be installed in the same ORACLE_HOME as the existing Oracle8i.
But when I rerun the installation trying to use the existing Oracle8i ORACLE_HOME, the Installer tells me that this ORACLE_HOME directory is already being used for "Oracle 816 Production" and that "It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'".
This is an odd contradiction. IMHO, it seems that Discoverer and Personal Oracle 8i would be a rather natural pairing, and that Oracle Corp would be interesting in having these 2 products be able to co-exist on the same machine.
The Install.wri notes (July99) do indicate that Discoverer 3.1 cannot be installed on the same machine as Personal Oracle 8.0.3 but can be installed alongside 8.0.4. Also, in another posting (http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum16/HTML/000117.html) in this Discussion Group, it would appear that Discoverer 3.1 can be installed with Oracle 8i, but how?
(As a footnote: I would definitely prefer to install Discoverer into a separate ORACLE_HOME from the Oracle server.)
Thanks for any clarity on this situation.

Hello Jerry:
There are two possible ways to deal with this issue:
1. Install Discoverer into the first (Default) Oracle_Home on your machine.
2. Install the RDBMS into another ORACLE_HOME.
Discoverer cannot be installed into a non Default Oracle_HOME.
Also...
In this scenario you can do the following.
In the Oracle Installer you write DEFAULT_HOME in the NAME field and the you enter a directory different from the one Oracle8i is installed in. In many cases this does the trick. But you can get into a scenario where you still gets the errors message. In this case you exit the installer, starts a Dos Prompt and enter regedit, to edit the registry. Here you
find the key
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\ALL_HOMES\DEFAULT_HOME. You change the value of this key to DEFAULT_HOME and then start the installation again.
I hope this helps.

Problems with Personal Oracle Instal on WinME

Hi,
Can someone throw some light on this, please?
I am trying to install Personal Oracle on a machine running ME.
When I use Personal Oracle for '98, it stops with a message about the paths to Source and Destination of the software. I checked many times about the availability of the directories, but it does not go forward. I tried the JREW = ... in the COMPATIBILITY95 section of the WIN.INI without success.
When I try to install Personal Oracle for Win2K, it apparently installs the EE, and tries to configure the network. Here it asks for the name of the host. When the server and the client are to be on the same machine, what is the need for a network connection?
That aside, what is the correct version to install on a ME machine? Are there any work-arounds for these problems?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
[email protected]

Could Oracle 10g (in a server) work with existing Oracle 9i client

Hello!
I am new in Oracle, and I was wondering if it’s possible to use Oracle 10g in a server with clients using Oracle 9i. Would that work? Are they compatible?.
Thanks!

my 9.2 client can not connect to 10g server,
It says that "this application requires that you have been granted to select any dictionary privelege".
my 10 g client connecting normally, but i have many terminal computers with 9 client.
Tell me how to connect to 10g server from 9 client please.

Installation of developer 6.0 on win95 with personal oracle 8

Can any one help me?
I have problem in installing developer 6.0 on win 95.

I tried your advice, unfortunately it still does not work. Curiously, I get the error "Unable to connect to destination" not "Cannot resolve name".
It seems as if it can read tnsnames.ora, but cannot connect to the database??? One thing that is unusual (i think) is that when I installed Developer 6.0 from the CD,
the Net8 Configuration assistant was never launched. I've heard from several people that
it should be launched after installlation. I'm working with a CD-ROM from a textbook titled
"Oracle Developer Starter Kit" which claims to be the complete Oracle Developer-Developer Server Release 6.0 product!
Does anybody know if the installion of Developer 6i includes configuration by Net8 assistant???
Still trying> Thanks for your help.

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...

Install Oracle8i Personal and Dev2k on same machine in following steps
1. Install Oracle Personal
2. Install Dev2k (Include SQL Net) and restart the computer
3. Find file tnsnames.ora
4. Locate string "TCP-Loopback" in tnsnames.ora
5. Change it with some other name and remember it.
6. In the regarding entry (few lines below) specify oracle SID
7. If you dont know you ORACLE-SID find it in init.ora file
8. Go to command prompt and write 'lsnrctl'
9. A propmpt will come write 'start'
Note:
1. If you are Installing Dev-2k on a client machine and Oracle server is running on any other machine then Do steps-1,8,9 on server and rest on DEV-2k Machine.
2. If bad-command occurs on 'lsnrctl' then try to find out the similar exe file in ORACLE_HOME\bin directory and write that name
If you still get some error mail me at [email protected]

Difficulties connecting with oci8 to Personal Oracle 8 on Win98

After looking through responses to other similar difficulties posted, I still can't seem to get this working.
I have Personal Oracle 8 running on Win98 on a laptop. I'm using Sun jdk117 and trying to connect with oci8 because the thin driver won't work without a TCP/IP listener which I understand Personal Oracle doesn't support.
There's an entry in my PATH pointing to c:\jdbc where the oci805jdbc.dll file is, and an entry in CLASSPATH pointing to c:\jdbc\classes111.zip .
To start with I'm using a simple connect program which shouldn't do much more than make a connection and close it again (please see below).
The program compiles fine, but when I run it all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no oci805jdbc in shared library path
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Compiled Code)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:561)
at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.logon(OCIDBAccess.java:186)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:127)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.getConnectionInstance(OracleDriver.ja

at connect2.tryconnect(connect2.java:19)
at connect2.main(connect2.java:42)
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>
I can't see any reason why there should be problems linking oci805jdbc.dll as PATH definitely has an entry pointing to the directory where it is located.
Doubtless I'm doing something silly, or I'm missing some essential configuration parameter.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
program code:
import java.sql.*;
class connect2
public int tryconnect()
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println("in tryconnect()");
/* Load the Oracle Driver */
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.out.println ("going to attempt connect");
try
/* get the connection */
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle ci8:@laptop:1521:ORCL", "system", "manager");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println ("Database Connect Failed");
System.out.println (e.getMessage());
return (1) ;
return (0);
public static void main(String argv[])
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println ("in main()");
/* Create the instance */
connect2 c = new connect2();
System.out.println ("connect instantiated");
/* Call the tryconnect. Returns 0 if success , 1 if failed */
int Csuccess = c.tryconnect();
if (Csuccess == 0 )
System.out.println("Successfully Connected");
null

Thanks for your kind response.
I'll have a look through the docs and see if I can find out how to get the TCP/IP listener running with Personal Oracle.
I've been trying to use oci805jdbc.dll from the jdbc80520-nt.zip download file.
Since the original post I've been trying to get the connection working with the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge, but all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
Database Connect Failed
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default drive
r specified
The java code is identical apart from:
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
and
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc dbc:LAPTOP;database=ORCL", "system", "manager");
The relevant entry in tnsnames.ora is:
LAPTOP.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = BEQ)(PROGRAM = oracle80)(ARGV0 = oracle80ORCL)(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))'))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ORCL)
Many thanks for any help.

Report (release 6.0.8.15.0) failure on tcp/ip connection to personal oracle 8.1.5

hi,how can i resolve this problem?
i use personal oracle with a tcp/ip connection and if i run a
report(developed with report builder oracle) i receive a
compiler error .if i run this same form on the server,the form
has no problem.
the only different is a client's call with tns (the listner is
start up)
thank and sorry for my bad english

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>

Personal Oracle 8i

I installed Personal Oracle 8i on my Windows Millennium system but cannot login to Oracle to start the database. Does anyone know the default password to initially start the database? I tried "ORACLE" and "MANAGER" but they did not work. Does Enterprise Manager come with Personal Oracle 8i? I could not locate it after I installed Oracle.

Not sure about Windows ME, but on Windows 2000 you would open the "control panel" and then open the "services" icon. In the list of services find an entry like "OracleService<SID>" and by right clicking on it should give you the option to start the service/database instance.
Alternatively use the Oracle server manager using the user "internal" and password "oracle" (default) and you should be able to start your instance from there.
