Sql database 10.g edition not opening

Hi guys,
I downloaded the oracle 10g version, but it is asking me to type user name and password. I use one I created with my particulars, but it is not allowing me to log in. Could you please help me.
Thanks
Sincerely
Gouse

I have a kind of similar problem... I can't login the very first time...
When I start the home page-> htttp://127.0.0.1:8080/apex It opens, but when I write as username: system, and password: (the one I wrote when I installed the oracle-xe-universal) It says "Fail credentials"
I tried to change the password, and I couldn't, and also I tried to re-install everything, and again it fails with the credantials
I'm using Ubunty 10.10 in a virtualbox with the oracle-xe-universal (.deb)
Any idea?
Thank you very much!

Yesterday I was able to connect Azure SQL Database - Today I am not

Hello Everyone,
I have problem with establishing connection with Azure SQL Database. I have read many articles here, tried some solutions but none worked.
0. On last Friday everything worked well - today it does not.
1. I added my public IP Address in Azure Management Portal earlier.
2. I tried different types of login-ways: login@nameserver, I used numeric addresses instead of server names, I set TCP connection manually, added encryption in one case either, tried do establish connection with particular database
3. Firewall does not block 1433 out connection
4. My IP address is static
5. I have no error message displayed using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - it just hangs.. - no response at all
6. I cannot ping the machine but its name is resolved correctly - maybe it does not respond using echo reply on purpose
7. Status of my database is Active - I am able to connect it and manage via browser and management portal at the moment
8. When I am trying to connect database via Visual Studio - it hangs.. - VS must be stopped manually via task manager
9. My local CloudService has problem with connection to the db either
10. Currently I am not able to deploy my CloudService because when I am trying to Publish it - VS hangs as soon as first Publish dialog window appears. Looks that I am able to deploy cloud service via Management portal only.
I am still trying to dive into the problem but at this moment I would be grateful for any clues.

Hi Mekh, hi everyone
PROBLEM SOLVED.
Yestarday I updated Azure Firewall rule and database-level firewall rules (master, my_database). I added special input / output protocols (IP, TCP, UDP) rules to my COMODO firewall (MSSMS could send anything and receive anything using IP, TCP and UDP). Status
of my computer -> database connection was set to ESTABLISHED in netstat output but MSSMS was still unavailable (no response at all - no error message).
I DECIDED TO UNINSTALL COMODO AT ALL and then if it does not work - reinstall local SQL Server, MSSMS and finally Visual Studio. When Comodo was gone - problem was gone either. Now I have connection with my database using MSSMS and I do not have to reinstall
anything more.

Azure SQL database working locally but not when published to Azure

I have an
AngularJS solution that is connecting to a SQL Azure database. When
I run the solution locally, it’s configured to connect up to the SQL Azure database, the solution works fine. However,
when I publish the solution to Azure the connection to the SQL Azure database does not work.
When debugging with Chrome I get the error Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server
Error)
I'm not using EF. but dapper.
My connectionstring is as follows
<add name="PortalConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=tcp:xxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database=xxx;User ID="xxx";Password="xxx";Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection
Timeout=30;"/>
When I run the web solution locally from Visual Studio, my sql queries runs like it should, it's only the published version having problems.
Any ideas?
Software Developer

Hi,
Thanks for answer.
I had followed that step by step guide for deploying to Windows Azure. So that was not the problem.
But I was able to get a better error message by turning off custom error in web.config.
I got the error message: "Windows login are not supported in this version of SQL Server"
I solved this by using the SqlConnectionStringBuilder instead of getting the connection string from
web.config.
So everything works great now, just think it's strange it worked locally before..

Photoshop elements-Editing not opening

When I open Organizer & access a folder of photographs to which I need to add text, I can only add only edit 5 or 6 and Elements 9 fails to open. I then have to close the computer (not just Photoshop) down in order to start up again & then I can only get a small amount on images edited before going through the whole process again. Any ideas?

Your computer may have insufficient RAM. When adding text you are temporarily increasing the file size by adding a new Layer (the text layer) which requires more memory.
Try this:
Add your text, then click Layer >>Flatten image. Then save and press Ctrl+W to close the file. Then move to your next open file and repeat.

Sql case statement with link not opening new window

Apex 4.2
I am writing a query that has a case statement. I need the case statement to open up a new window, not a new tab. I have the following:
SELECT
case when SCHED_ID = 1 then
'<a href="javascript:popupURL(''http://www.google.com'')">LINK</a>'
end as MyLink
FROM Table_Name
When I plug this into a a column link in the URL field under a page item or report item, then a popup window appears. However, inside the query I am getting a new tab.
ANy help on this matter would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try adding a target attribute to you link:

How can I insert an image(JPG) into a SQL database?

I have written an application to perform some tests in the lab. After gathering the data I store it into a SQL Server. I successfully managed to export all my raw numbers and calculations to the DB. However I have not been able to export a screenshot of the Front panel. I can write the screenshot to a JPG file just fine. The problem is putting the image (binary data) into the DB.
So from what work I've managed to do, two questions come to mind:
1) Is there a way to compress the screenshot, using standard JPG compression, without actually writing out to a file. ie: Just have a binary stream of the compressed image that I can write to the SQL database.
2) Even if I don't use compression, I can't write any kind of data that appears as an image. What kind of data do I need to be writing from LabView to store it properly in an 'image' or 'binary' type field in a SQL database? I am not looking for answer "binary data." Nor do I want the answer that is stated in the Help file for the DB Connectivity Toolkit(type - Data Cluster). What I need is to know what kind of conversions I need to do on the image data that comes out of the FP.GetScaledImage.
I am using LabView 8.0 and have the Database connectivity toolkit. We are running SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

I also hit this limit. In the end I just wrote the JPGs to disk, and stored the file path in the DB. Not the ideal solution, I know.
I'm trying to remember now, exactly what the problem was. You're right to say the image data type should handle up to 2GB. I think in the end, it was an issue of the LabView toolkit not playing well with newer versions of SQL Server, which have the image type. Re-reading the error though, it sounds like it might be an issue with the ODBC driver. FYI, 8KB used to be the max size for the largest types in SQL Server (I think binary in 2000). I suspect this limit was coded into the driver or LabView, and can't handle the newer, larger types.
That being said, the LabView DB toolkit was either written poorly or written a long time ago. It has issues with generating SQL queries that have the proper quotes. For example, if your column names have spaces in them, the toolkit will be unable to generate a valid query, without some modification of the toolkit *.vi's. Images in a database is not a new concept and not new to me. I've never used a language where it was more complicated or difficult to get working. Unless you absolutely have to, I'd work out a way to just store the JPGs to disk, with the path in the DB. Spending too much time on this defeats the purpose of using LabView.
If NI decides to update the DB toolkit, then it might be worth giving it a try again.
In case any NI people are reading this, this is a not so subtle hint that you need to update the DB toolkit to support modern DB features. Especially, if NI is charging $1000 for it.

Find DBID when DB is not open

Greetings friends
Is it possible to find DBID of database when DB is not open given
- DB is in non-archive mode
- No backup is available
- No RMAN catalog repository

Thread on the link has a slighly different issue where user requires
I want to restore the control file from an autobackup.DBID can be find using v$database, rman respository etc.
I am wondering if oracle keeps the DBID in plain text anywhere on filesystem or registry.

Lync service accounts on sql databases

Hi all,
Please what are the permission required by Lync server 2013 on SQL Databases so the services not get effected as our SQL team informed that permission on SQL instances will be removed unless it required by application.

You can use any option among three options.
The first option require a user with a membership of RTCUniversalServerAdmins group, sysadmins SQL Server security group and SQL Server local Administrators group.

Upgrade to APEX 4.2.3 apexins_con.sql gets: catconInit: database is not open Unexpected error encountered in catconInit; exiting

Upgrade to APEX 4.2.3 apexins_con.sql gets Unexpected error encountered in catconInit; exiting
I am attempting to install/upgrade apex 4.2.3 under Oracle12c in a Multi-Tenant configuration.
Here are the environmental details
Windows 7 64 bit
Apex 4.2.3
ORCL: CDB$ROOT
PDBORCL: PDB$SEED
Here is the current states of the pluggable databases
SQL> SELECT NAME,OPEN_MODE,TOTAL_SIZE/1024/1024/1024 FROM V$PDBS;

PDBORCL                        READ WRITE                .366210938
SQL>
This is the command that I am using to re-install/upgrade APEX:
# remove 4.2.2 installation
cd M:\apex_4.2.3\apex_4.2.3_en\apex
sqlplus /@ORCL as sysdba
@apxremov.sql   << this was successful
quit
Install 4.2.3 installation
sqlplus /@ORCL as sysdba
@apexins_con.sql i10wrk SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ << this failed
The APEX installation fails immediately with the following message:
catconInit: database is not open
Unexpected error encountered in catconInit; exiting
I cannot determine which database is not open. Both my CDB$ROOT and PDBORCL are reported as open (READ WRITE Mode).
Here is my Container database
SQL> SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'CON_NAME') FROM DUAL;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CON_NAME')
CDB$ROOT
SQL> select instance_name,status from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS

SQL>
Here is the associated Pluggable Database
sqlplus /@PDBORCL as sysdba
SQL> select instance_name,status from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS
orcl             OPEN
SQL> ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDBORCL OPEN;
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDBORCL OPEN
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65019: pluggable database PDBORCL already open
I am confused…. Which database is not open?
The PDB$SEED is open in (READ ONLY) mode, but that is simply the template database. I don't think that ever needs to be open in (Read Write) mode.

sbing52,
I cannot vouch for the specific error that is being returned by catcon.pl, but I would try the following in your situation.
1. It seems you connect to CDB$ROOT and ran apxremov.sql. This only removed the common APEX option from CDB$ROOT. Your PDB is now in an inconsistent state, since APEX is no longer in the root. I would reconnect to CDB$ROOT and run apxremov_con.sql, make sure you use the one from the 4.2.3 distribution. The one in the ORACLE home will not work.
2. I would then re-run apexins_con.sql connect to CDB$ROOT. Also, you need to pass the proper parameters. Why are you passing i10wrk? You should be invoking it like:
@apexins_con.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]

Hi
I'm a complete sql/asp.net newbie and want to try this tutorial:
http://beta.asp.net/GuidedTour/
First I installed:
Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2
systemsettings\software shows the "sql server 2005 express edition ctp (sqlexpress)" installed
mmc\service shows me the SQL Server (SQLExpress) is running
Following the guided tour I use the commandline, type cmd, and type in the commandbox:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\SQLCMD90" -S "localhost\SqlExpress"
Instead of localhost I also tried computername.smallbusiness.local (thats my fully domain name).
However I always receive the error:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]
Thank you very much for all your help

Typically I have found problems with connection strings as one of a few things:
1. Your instance is named different than the default. I labeled mine BrettSQLServer instead of the regular instance.
2. Your default storage of the your database has a user the system does not like and won't give it access.
3. You have ports blocked that SQL Server is trying to access.
1. Your instance should show up under 'SQL Server Configuration Manager'. Start>MS SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools> SQL Server Configuration Manager. You should see a left view panel where you can click 'SQL Server Services'. This
will show on the right all of your SQL services that are running. The most important one is SQL Server({Your SQL Server Name}). You will see column headers's displaying: "Name, State, Start Mode, Log on as, ProcessID" by default. If
you don't see a version of this you may have no installed SQL server properly and gotten SQL management studio but not the server. If you have the server and it's off or not running that is another problem. If your "LOG On AS" is a service account
is "NT ...." or something besides "Local System" that may be a problem. Without getting into the symantecs of protection suffice to say you log in with less than system, yes you are more secure but some built in functions for connections may not work.
2. Going off of rights of your 'Log On As' I WOULD USE 'System' NOT "NT Authority....". The reason is that you can access less things with 'NT Authority....' but yes you are more secure for that reason. If you are just trying to connect at home
to test non secure things I don't see the harm. If you are setting up a database for a multinational corporation than, Yes I would use a more secure account. If you need to change it while still in SQL Server Confi Manager: Right Click> SQL
Server(Your Version) > On 'Log On' tab > Choose drop down for 'Built-in Account' select 'Local System'. As extra steps make sure by some strange reason your database locales have this user by default(They should). MS likes to install database
as default to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.{instanceName}\MSSQL. If you go to this location by going: right click>Properties>Security Tab .. and you fail to see your user that SQL server is defined as you may have lots of
issues.
3. Turn off Windows Firewall during SQL installation. If you are scared of being attacked during this down window, disconnect your NIC and reconnect later. I have not added a port manually in a while but it is simply easier to just
turn off your firewall during install. Having your TCP/IP connection from SQL Server blocked is kind of bad if you need to connect to it that way later.
Problems most commonly encountered with SQL Server by users I have seen and I myself encountered a lot with full blown SQL Server Enterprise as well as Express versions of SQL:
Connection string DO not work for BIDS, ADO.net, Linq, etc...
Once you follow steps above just go {ComputerName}\{SQL Server Instance} as your connection name. That mostly always works. As a preliminary test you should install SQL Management Studio first before doing connection strings for a basic test
that it can access your server. When you first boot it up and click 'New Database Engine Query' it will display Server Type: "Database Engine" and a blank field or autopopulated field for 'Servername'. The {ComputerName}\{SQL Server Instance} almost
always works. If it works and you can connect, you know that you have access, if you don't start there first before getting into connection strings through .NET languages. I suggest just adding an easy alias, my local SQL box is simply called
'Brett'. Go again back to SQL Server Configuration Manager. On the left side click 'SQL Native Client ...' > 'Aliases' > New > type in whatever you want. Go back to the left pane click on 'SQL Server Services' ensure the service
'SQL Server Browser' is running and set to run automatic. Have fun accessing SQL Server with your alias.
Help I can't get FileStream to work and I ran 'spconfigure' in SQL and it still doesn't work.
Kind of annoying that more sites don't list that it is entirely in the Configuration manager and has zilch to do with setting the option if the config has it off. I am not a master of the sp_configure TSQL access method but I know during installs turning
it on fails to REALLY turn it on. Once again go to SQL Config Manger > SQL Server Services > Right click your instance > Select FILESTREAM tab > enable both check boxes. Restart SQL Server. Install Adventureworks 2008 and whatever
else failed due to filestream access levels.
Medium to Advanced on some things, but always wanting to know more

Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

This was originally posted in the SSIS Forum, but a member of the IS team suggested it be moved here. "Most recently I got this error (Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?"
I'm having the same issue, and here's our scenario:
Installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a machine with WinXP SP2 and enabled remote connections over TCP/IP
Installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a machine with Win2003 SP1 (remote connections over TCP/IP enabled by default)
Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'Detach and Attach' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'SQL Management Objects' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
Reinstalled Standard Edition on the Win2003 SP1 machine
Checked all the settings on both machines several times, restarted services etc., and read every post I could find referencing the error.
Same error
Lost my last hair
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Nan,
Before I get on with this post - thank you for your reply.
The XPSP2 machine actually had the firewall disabled, and I verified that it could accept connections on the the associated ports with the Shields Up utility. I tested this on both machines.
I can connect to the server from the XPSP2 machine, Import / Export, manage, view logs, and do everything EXCEPT get the Copy Database package to run. SQL Server Agent always fails on the last step with the following error:

Database Datafiles Recovery. ORA-01219: database not open:

Hi,
I have a 10g database running on SuSE Linux server. I mistakenly deleted one of my file system's files that contain some of the database datafiles. I can connect to the database but I am failing to run queries:
SQL> select * from global_name;
select * from global_name
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
I do weekly cold backups of the server. My database is in NOARCHIVE log mode. What is the best way to recover my data; Is it possible that I restore only the file system or I should should do a complete restore of all file systems??
Regards
Kevin

I mistakenly deleted one of my file system's files that contain some of the database datafiles.Ok
I do weekly cold backups of the server.Great !!
My database is in NOARCHIVE log mode. That's the mistake in my opinion
What is the best way to recover my data; Restore it from the latest available cold backup.
There will be a data loss post weekly consistent cold backup. Which you have to accept because you do not have your database running in Archive Log mode.

DBCA hangs with 'database not open'

I've installed the Oracle 9i ver.2 Enterprise Edition software on a Tru64 Unix machine with 512MB of memory. The software was installed without any problems. However, while creating any database thru the Database Configuration Assistant it hangs on 46% on "Creating & starting Oracle instance" with errors of 'ORA-01109: database not open' in cloneDBCreation.log and 'ORA-1109 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL...' in alert_SID.log.
I have also tried to create a DB via a script file but this hangs up in the 'CREATE DATABASE' command.
Thanks,
Robert Lieb

I am giving up on dbca and will try to get a script to create a db. Included are a log file, and a trace file that shows the script process hanging on "Waiting for smon to enable cache recovery" during the execution of CreateDB.sql.
Any ideas?
