SQLPLUS, timestamp as prompt

Is there any way to get the time in sqlprompt without altering nls_date_format.
If I change nls_date_format some queries are failing which use the regular date and time format.
Even any other SQL tool, preferebly console version would also work.

Hi,
Do you mean:
C:\oracle>sqlplus /nolog

Sqlplus.exe is not a valid win32 application error

Hi All,
I have installed oracle 10gr2 on windows xp.
if i type sqlplus in command prompt i get this error
"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe is not a valid win32 application".
i went to the path where sqlplus is present i observed that sqlplus.exe file was 0KB.
how can i resolve this problem. i want to upgrade oracle 9i to 10g so i need sqlplus of 10g to work properly.
please anyone help me out to solve this problem.
Regards,
Veeresh S

You'd have to find out how and why that file became 0KB in size.
If one file is 0KB in size, what assurance do you have that other files aren't
also corrupted ?
It could have been a virus-scanner wrongly attempting to quarantine the file,
it could have been a backup-restore session that copied the file back as 0KB,
it could have been some command that you executed in attempting the upgrade.

Where to find SQLPLus ?

Hi,
I just downloaded oracle 10g standard edition and installed it. I can't find SQL*Plus on my installation. I could find iSQLPlus but not just SQL*Plus. Where can I find it? Do I need to download developer suite to get SQL PLus? Please advise me.

open up a command prompt and type: sqlplus
it should prompt you for your credentials.
You can also access from your start menu items under Oracle and Applications

Here is my questions.
Do we have 'sqlplus' for windows for win64_11gR1 database ? If yes, could you please let me know the download URL ?
thanks
Siva

Siva,
You said
Of-course I am able to run sqlplus in command prompt.Meaning you have sqlplus on your system, please post output from following command
C:> sqlplus And you can find sqlplus executable under %ORACLE_HOME/bin

Only 'oracle' account can connect via sqlplus

Currently, only the linux oracle account can connect to the
server via sqlplus. A have put an exact copy of oracle's
.profile script into other accounts home directories, and those
accounts belong to the linux dba group. When another account
starts sqlplus, they are prompted with login and password, and
the the following error occurs:
ORA-01034 ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE
But if I login as 'oracle', i can connect no problem. I always
start the server under the oracle account with the dbstart
script.
I am probably overlooking something stupid, any ideas?
Please email me directly in addition to the post.
Thanks,

There is nothing to do with your .profile, default password, etc.
After Oracle installation via the installer (orainst), have you
run root.sh? Root.sh will set the setuid/setgid bit on for the
file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle. If it is not set, only the owner
(i.e. oracle/dba) can connect.
Fix the problem by rerun root.sh. If it doesn't help, simply run
the commands:
$ chown oracle:dba $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle
$ chmod ug+s $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle

Tools 8.50 on Debian / Ubuntu

Hi,
Has anyone tried installing tools 8.50 on a debian / ubuntu system?
  ( yes, I know this is not supported )
  ( yes, I know I could use Oracle Enterprise Linux )
Oracle, WebLogic and Tuxedo all seem to run ok, so if I can get the database loaded it should all be good, yes? But I'm having problems with the installer, and it looks a bit like some kind of shell issues.
First attempt:
  $ . psconfig.sh
  $ chmod +x setup/PsMpDbInstall/InstData/setup.linux
  $ setup/PsMpDbInstall/setup.sh
This runs through the first few sql scripts (very quickly) as far as connect.sql, but then falls over with a "File not found: .../scripts/hr91dmoora.dms" script (HR91DMO is the SID/database). However, looking at the log files, none of the sql scripts actually ran. They all fell over with "sqlplus: command not found", despite entering the correct path for the sqlplus binary when prompted.
Second attempt:
  $ export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/dbhome1
  $ export ORACLE_SID=HR91DMO
  $ PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
  $ . psconfig.sh
  $ chmod +x setup/PsMpDbInstall/InstData/setup.linux
  $ setup/PsMpDbInstall/setup.sh
This time the runCreatedb10.sh script runs for a while, but the installer gives "Error while creating database", and stops. Checking the log file shows no errors:
  Database created.
  SQL> spool off
  SQL> exit
  Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
So it looks like there are some kind of shell problems: variables not being set / passed to other scripts; exit codes being incorrectly interpreted.
  $ /bin/sh --version
  GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
  Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, it looks like the manual, run-them-all-by-hand approach!
Cheers,
Barney

Ok, so there were a couple of problems:
1. I had some old deprecated commands in my init.ora file. These caused Oracle warnings in the create script, which Oracle ignored and happily created the database, but the PeopleSoft installation script barfed on. Was nothing to do with shell processing at all. Cleaning these up sorted that out.
2. Then needed to set a couple of Tuxedo environment settings for Data Mover to run. Should have guessed this from "Data Mover on the UNIX platform has a dependency on the Oracle Tuxedo software." Unfortunately, these aren't really documented until chapter 8 of the installation guide, whereas I was still on chapter 7B. What - you want me to read all 700+ pages before starting... ;-)
So looking good now. Installing the HRMS data (is it HRMS or HRCS???), then just a couple more steps to go. Only 14822 records remaining...
[Nicholas]
Since you're on a non-supported OS, it would be better to follow the manual database creation steps.Yep - I did start to go down that route, but then I was writing my own script to automate things to make it repeatable, and it all just seemed better to try and get the delivered ones to work. Also, unless I'm missing something here, steps in an appendix entitled "Creating a Database Manually on UNIX" which refer to " Setting NLS_LANG in the Windows Registry" just confuse me!
[Jim]
can you put up a wiki describing the stepsSure. Never actually added anything to a wiki before, but sure I can get something up there. Will post back here when something's there.
Cheers,

Post installation issues in Oracle 11g

Hi,
i have installed oracle 11g on my windows vista- ultimate OS. installation was successful without any error, but after the completion of installation i found that sqlplus.exe file's icon was not proper. it is like a default .exe icon of vista. moreover this, when i executed it, i am getting a command prompt window instead of regular SQL window that we get in any previous versions of oracle. Though everything is working fine.
So, could anyone please tell me what's wrong? Why i am getting such an interface?

With 11g, the SLQPlusW is no longer available. SQLPlus in command prompt is what we have left. However you now have SQLDeveloper automatically included.

Installation of oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS

can we install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS ???
While doing sqlplus from command prompt,
it's giving error like
'SP2-1503 Unable to initialise Oracle Call interface'
'SP2-0152 Oracle may not be functioning Properly'
How to troubleshoot the above errors,
Has anybody tried it ???
Plz assist.

No Oracle product is certified against any Windows Home OS.
As Vista was released after Oracle 10gR2, 10gR2 is not certified against any edition of Vista.
You need to downgrade to XP, or install Linux.

WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES AND ORACLE CLIENT 9,10.1,10.2 BUG

PROBLEM:NON-ADMINISTRATOR USER UNABLE TO USE CLIENT SQLPLUS INSTALL
FIX: NONE... REFER TO Bug No.     4684738
Filed     18-OCT-2005     Updated     06-DEC-2005
Product     SQL*Plus     Product Version      10.2.0.1
Platform     Microsoft Windows Server 2003     Platform Version
HOW I FIXED:
copied instant client basic, instant SqlPlus, instant ODBC (i need ODBC connection)
step1:
login to terminal server as administrator, unzip basic, SqlPlus, ODBC into a new directory on the server, make sure users have basic file rights read,view to new directory.
step2:
copy a working copy of tnsnames.ora (the databases you want to connect to) into the directory where all your instant client files are.
step3:
create SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables > click my computer, properties,advanced. create variable SQLPATH set value to path of your instant clent files. create variable TNS_ADMIN set value to path of your instant client files.
step4:
edit the PATH statement listed in SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables and add the path to your instant client files at the beginning of the PATH statement.
step5:
logout, login as administrator test instant sqlplus open command prompt enter > sqlplus username?/password?@mydatabase
you should get connected to your database. Repeat step5 only login as a normal user. the normal user should be able to connect to the database.
Issue: it appears instant ODBC not ready for prime time I get error 126, reading forums it appears there are files missing from the install package. The Microsoft ODBC connector for Oracle does work with my MSACCESS applications that connect to Oracle 10G using the afore mentioned process. I will continue to troubleshoot instant ODBC issue and post findings. Oracle has already wasted 12 hours of my time trying to get their junky software working might as well waste another day before throwing in the towel.

You can download the latest JDBC drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
You just need to place the jar somewhere and add the location to your classpath.

Not able to connect with Oracle server through VBScript without DSN

Hi
I have both Oracle9i and Oracle10g clients installed with local system.
I am able to connect to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition server though sqlplus through command prompt and also through AQT without any error.
As the server has lots of database ,whenever I connect to a particular database through sqlplus from command prompt,I connect as below
C:>sqlplus username/password@service_name
and it gets connected without any error.
When I am trying to connect the same database through VB Script,I am getting ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adaptor Error.
Below is the connection string I am using:
Database_String = "SERVER=xxxx.vvvn.Com;Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};DATABASE=service_name;user id=userid; password=passowrd"
I have installed a Oracle10g server in my local system and tried to connect the same way and I was successfully ,but its not working when the server is running remotely.
Does it make any difference with the version of driver being used ?Should I need to modify my connection string anyway.
Please help me as to identify the issue.Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Sahina

check the listener status in server end,

Chinese Characters in SQL Plus

Hi, I wonder how do I input the chinese characters in SQL plus? I have set the NLS_LANG value to chinese characterset in the REGEDIT but it doesn't display the chinese characters. Is there any chinese version on Oracle JDeveloper Suite?
Cheers

i have installed sqlplus and oracle db in the same PC under chinese win xp.
i found that if you spool the output to a text file, and type in dos-prompt, it still cannot display the chinese character properly. but if you open the text file by notepad, bingo, you can the chinese character.
i think that it is because dos-prompt application is non-unicode application. so it could not display unicode character properly.
as a result, if you want to display unicode character in non-unicode application (run sqlplus under dos-prompt), you have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable which match the character set of non-unicode application which your operating system assigned. in my case, it should be Big5. then oracle would do the conversion for you automatically, i.e. from unicode in DB to Big5 in client.
I either set the NLS_LANG environment variable in one of the 2 ways:
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16big5 or
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16hkscs

Chinese Characters in Discoverer Plus

Hi,
I am having the problem of outputting chinese characters in Discoverer Plus on the client browser. The chinese characters are represented by "box" when they are outputted to Discoverer plus. The chinese characters can be shown with the Report Builder. My database is running on UTF8 characterset.
I have done some configurations to output the chinese characters to the Report Builder. Besides, the chinese characters can be shown in the PDF reports generated from the Report Server. The configurations that I have done is to modify some of the files in ORACLE_HOME/bin/ and ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin/.
How do I ouput the chinese characters in Discoverer Plus?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Joey
