sqlplus " /as sysdba"
I get an invalid option error.

OC4J and SQL Plus: ORACLE_HOME problem

I installed (unzip) latest version of OC4J standalone. OS is Windows XP professional. After unziping I put enviroment varibles ORACLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME and started ocj4 -start. It works OK. But I cannot run SQL Plus anymore (because it has different ORACLE_HOME) . What should I do to run both: SQL Plus and OC4J (which are installed on the same computer)?

Hi All
Correct. Oracle application server wants to point ORACLE_HOME variable to its home directory and to smooth functionality of Oracle DB it also need same environment variable (ex sqlplus, sqlldr).
Try this, this may work.
1) Do not set ORACLE_HOME environment variable in profiles. (In UNIX systems do not set ORACLE_HOME in .profiles files and windows system does not set it using -> System Properties (Right Click My Computer -> proprieties) -> Advanced -> Environment variables). If it is already set please unset that.
2) Open cmd and check ORACLE_HOME is set or not (in windows u can use echo %ORACLE_HOME% and Unix/Linux u can use echo $ORACLE_HOME). If it is set please unset ORALCE_HOME environment variable.
3) To start application server open cmd, follow step 2 and set ORALCE_HOME home to oracle application server home and then u can run the command to start oracle application server. If u want to use script to start app server what u have to do is u can set ORALCE_HOME environment variable inside script and point it to app server home.
4) If u want to run the Oracle DB utilities please open the another cmd , follow the step 2 and set ORACLE_HOME environment variable to Oracle DB home. And then execute DB utilities commands.
Note: - What we have to do is simply point to correct oracle home to before execute commands
Thanks

SQL*Plus login problems

Hi. I am just reading through my PL/SQL 101 book and exam guide for preparation for the 1Z0-007 exam. I have downloaded Oracle 9i and I cannot login to SQL+ at all. I want to use my database as a stand alone system for the time being until I can network my other computer with my new one.
All I want is to get into SQL+ so that I can practice pl/sql code for the exam.
Can anyone help me? What steps should I do?
thank you, comments and solutions are greatly appreciated.
Karin

If you are connecting a local default database (which you may be if I make a guess at your configuration), you don't need to enter anything in the host string field. Just enter the username and password.
If you are connecting to a remote database, or non-default database, you need to enter a connect string in the host strint field. To find your connect string, look in your tnsnames.ora file (in the network/admin directory) and you will see an entry for the default database you created. Use the value set for SERVICE_NAME.

SQL*Plus Installation Problem (Ora-12705)

Hi,
I bought a guide to sql featuring Oracle by phillip J.Pratt published by course Technology include Oracale8i Personal Edition realease 8.1.5 for Microsoft Window 98 and Oracle Developer 6.0. I follow the documentation to install. I think i got right configuration (i have the tnslsnr window display and Oracle8i database started) but when I login (user:system and password:manager)it doen't work and it give me the error Ora-12705: invalid or unknow NLS parameter value specified. What can i do with this? I appreciate for yours help.
~linh
null

I got this error message too when I install the 9i client in my pc. You can find the NLS_LANG in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If you have multiple oracle home, you might need to check each of the entry.
I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.

Maximum length of SQL*Plus Command?

I'm typing a long query into SQL*Plus (Linux, version 9.2.0.1... yes, I know it's ancient).
If I run this query, all works fine:
select 'update myauditing_table set test_details='''||grantee||''' where myaudit_refno=''A.FE'';' from (select case when upper(value) in ('DBO','TRUE') then (select agg_concat(grantee) from dba_tab_privs where table_name='AUD$')
else (select 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: '||value from dual) end as grantee from v$parameter where upper(name)='AUDIT_TRAIL' order by grantee);
'UPDATEMYAUDITING_TABLESETTEST_DETAILS='''||GRANTEE||'''WHEREMYAUDIT_REFNO=''A.F
update myauditing_table set test_details='AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: DB' where myaud
it_refno='A.FE';(In other words, is SQL that generates other SQL: if AUDIT_TRAIL is set to something interesting, tell me who has access to the AUD$ table. And it's working fine... the agg_concat function mentioned is simply Tom Kyte's stragg function under another name, as lifted word-for-word from http://www.sqlsnippets.com/en/topic-11591.html)
Now this is what happens if I take out the linebreak after the mention of AUD$, so that the command is submitted as one single line of code:
SQL> select 'update myauditing_table set test_details='''||grantee||''' where myaudit_refno=''A.FE'';' from (select case when upper(value) in ('DBO','TRUE') then (select agg_concat(grantee) from dba_tab_privs where table_name='AUD$') else (select 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to: '||value from dual) end as grantee from v$parameter where upper(name)='AUDIT_TRAIL' order by grantee);
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "s set to: ..." - rest of line ignored.The error message indicates that the text has been 'split' at the 'AUDIT_TRAIL is set to...' bit, so that "s set to" is being treated as a new command, which is of course syntactically invalid. There is definitely no other change in text between the two versions, apart from the removal of a carriage return before the "else" statement.
Possibly a coincidence, but the first "s" in "s set to" appears at position 258 in the entire text... close to a possible 255 or 256 character limit, perhaps?
The same problem happens whether I run the command as a script (@mysql.sql) or typed in directly into a client SQL*Plus session. Is there some inherent limit to the length of commands that SQL*Plus can process in this version? My code runs fine on 10g and 11g databases/clients, whether it's on one line or two. Anyone know of a bug in 9i regarding this? And if there's a workaround (other than the obvious one of upgrading, of course!)

As mentioned, it's choking at the 258th character, not the 240th. Also, it's a SELECT statement, not a COPY command (one relates to the database, the other is an internal SQL*Plus feature). And someone else also kindly pointed out that SQL*Plus has a command limit length (i.e., database-related commands) of 2500 characters. So I don't think that's the issue.
I can be a bit more specific about this one now, though. I've a sequence of Solaris boxes running 9.2.0.1 up, and the results are that 9.2.0.1 is affected; and it's a problem for 9.2.0.7:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER

PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "s set to: ..." - rest of line ignored.But in 10.2.0.1, the problem disappears.
I am not sure, but it is perhaps related to metalink note 285913.1, since we did get some ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qernsRowP], [1] errors in the alert log with a slightly different version of the above query. Changing the query obviously alters the test, though, so it may be completely unrelated.
Either way, I think it's definitely a version-specific SQL*Plus bug (though it would be nice if any other 9i owners out there could try it and report back!)
Anyway, the workaround is simply to submit the command on two separate lines, wherever possible. And of course... to upgrade.

now help me connect to a database.
i don't want to download more files ( also all the files are so large that the take whole day to download........ oracle 11g was 2GB)You need to understand... The SQL*Plus client is just a tool to allow you to connect to a database, because it is the database that will take your SQL commands and execute them... the client is just the tool for sending the commands to the database.
So, just downloading and installing the client software itself, is fine... if you've got a database elsewhere (on a server somewhere) to connect to. If, however, you want to practice database programming at home on your own computer, you will have to download and install some version of the database, whether you do that directly as the database software itself (which will install the client software as well as part of it), or as the Virtual Machine version (which is sort of the same thing, but the database comes almost ready for you to use "out of the box").
I'm afriad you are going to have to download more files.

Would like to write SQL code to generate a 'spool' statement in SQL Plus.

Hi,
We're using Oracle 11.1.
I'm spooling data to a file from a SQL Plus shell script .
The format of the file name they're giving me has the current date on the end, so something like:
filenameMMDDYYYY.txtWhen I write my spool statement I'd like to do it so that I give it the file name with a formatted sysdate at the end.
I think I need to generate SQL to do this but I don't have experience in generating SQL.
How would I do this in a SQL Plus Linux shell script?

set termout off
col dt new_value dt
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') dt from dual;
set termout on
spool file_&dt

SQL* Plus not compatible with Suse Linux 10

hi! i am using suse linux 10 and since i lost my sys/ system password i need to restore it using " / as sysdba " to login, but the problem is when i tried to install the sql* plus it says that "it does not support my platform", is there another way i can reset back my system password with out sql* plus? or can anyone guide me in the installation of sql* plus instant client? thanks a lot! :-)

i'm sorry for the confusion. i tried to install sql* plus but running the script to install it gave me an error that "it does not support my platform, it only supports red hat, suse 9.... etc." my os is suse linux 10 (oss) and am using oracle xe... so meaning i just wanted to install sql* plus to have a command-line utility to use " / as sysdba " to reset my sys/ system password. because i can't remember my sys/ system password that's why i can't get in to http://localhost:8080/apex site to change my oracle db. thanks for the reply!

Sql*plus, instant client problems

I want to connect a linux machine x86 to a server with oracle 9i. So first I wanted to install instant client and I did as is said in the page for basic, sql*plus and SDK packages, but it doesn't work. When I executed ./sqlplus user/pass@connectionchannel in the linux machine, it crashes, without error message.
If I install the windows version and try the connection from a windows machine it works, so the oracle server is working, and there is no problem with the firewalls and so.
I have tried to execute fftrace (to have a kind of log of what programs does)fftrace ./sqlplus user/pass@conn and i saw a lot of lines I paste bellow. I think the last one is read from socket, but I'm not sure and i don't know what to do. I don't know if I can connect without the instant client. I will be very thankfull for any idea you can give me, i don't know what to try.

Newer version of SQL*Plus for Linux

Is there a newer, more featured version of SQL*Plus for Linux than 8.1.6.0.0? Where would I get it?
Thanks.

I have problems installing the oracle 8i client.
i ordered the oracle servers 8i CD kit for linux .am using the standard edition to install the client.
but am facing problems.
the net8 configuration fails.
what can i do?
which CD should i look at?
what do i need to install a client.?
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Boris Mironov ([email protected]):
Hello,
I had some problem (mixed OS environment). I solved it by ordering Linux version from Oracle. Oracle send me Linux CD Pack (All software for Linux) with free license for SQL-client only. It means that I have no licenses for products (eg. Oracle8i EE, Oracle8i SE, WebDB, ...). Anyway, I have access to my DB-server from my Linux box and I do not need to pay extra money for licensing because we have enough user licenses for our server.

Problem running SQL PLUS in Oracle 8i and 9i on Windows XP

I've tried installing both Oracle 8.17 Personal Edition and also 9i in Windows XP Professional (each on a different occassion). I have run into the same problem each time. The installation itself goes fine in both cases, but when I run SQL PLUS, the Log On screen appears for 1-2 seconds then whole thing just closes automatically, so I can't ever access that application which is the only thing I need to work with. Any ideas on what's going wrong? Thanks.

Patrick,
Well a few things. Did you try TNSPING to see if the listener is up? If it's ok, can you connect with FREE toad? Download Oracle OEM and install that (the SQL net and sql plus portions). If you can't get tnsping to work, sqlplus isn't going too either. I don't know why the sqplus is actually shutting down, but I'm guessing the TNS NAMES entry isnt there (in the tnsnames.ora file). If the tnsnames entry is there then tnsping should work. Get tnsping to work first.
Tyler.
