Starting/Stopping Oracle 10g Personal Edition

Just wondering how one starts & stops 10g PE?
Oracle asks for Host credentials and database credentials.
SYS doesn't seem to work and as there is no security settings under Admin (in PE) I can't create my login as a SYSDBA.
Suggestions appreciated!

PE is actually a superset of EE (Enterprise Edtion), with all EE options except RAC. It is targetted towards developers and designed to allow a develolper access to all of the capabiltites
Therefore, you can search the docs to find out how to start/stop the database's instance[s] and any reference to the Enterrprise Edition will be valid in your case. If I remember correctly, there is a chapter in the Installation Guide that covers the topic.
IN any case, PE is only licensed on Windows (presumably because developers only work in Windows???), so:
- Go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
- Ensure the TNS Listener service is running first
- Start the Oracle service
The questions you ask indicate you are confused about the relationship between SYSDBA and the OS userid. I strongly encourage reading the first 2 chapters of the Concepts manual (at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1) to get a decent starting point.

  • Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
    Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
    How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
    Thanks,
    tulip

  • Oracle 10g Personal edition as a Client Database

    Hi, Our enterprise application runs as in both Online and offline mode. For offline mode it uses Microsoft accesss as Data Store. Now we want to use Oracle 10g Personal Edition as Our client database, so that we can use stored procedure and have code base for both server and client. Oracle XE can not be used because Oracle XE is not supported by Oracle.
    Please suggest what is the best way to deploy Oracle PE to get smallest footprint and best performance. It is alright to use PE as client DB or it is too much for offline application.
    Any suggested customizations or Alternatives. We have rules out Oracle Database lite because it doesn't support Pl/ SQL SP. Thanks.

    Note that Personal Edition is actually designed for Developers. It includes all options to the Enterprise Edition (except RAC) but is limited by license agreement to being used by one named person. You can not legally provide data from Personal Edition through direct connection electronically (eg: a web or app server) to several people. You also can not say "John is using it now, and when he is off, Fred will use it."
    The best and smallest footprinit is XE, but (as you say) you can not purchasse support from Oracle. Next is Standard Edition 1, with a Standard Edition software install (SE and SE1 are the same s/w) and a custom-created DB.

  • Starting Stopping Oracle 10g XE on Linux

    Hi,
    I successfully installed Oracle 10g XE on Suse 10.0 as root. The install went without errors. I configured the oracle with "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure" and opted not to start oracle while bootup.
    Then whenever I clicked on Start Database or Stop Database link just nothing happens. The cursor changes shape and after sometime returns back to original shape.
    However, I was easily able to start/stop the database from command line: -
    /etc/init.d/oracle-xe enable
    /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
    /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
    Then I edited /etc/init.d/oracle-xe to enable startup of oracle at bootup and everything work fine now.
    But I'm still not able to start/stop the database from the links provided in the KDE menu.
    By checking the links, they are pointing rightly to startdb.sh and stopdb.sh in scripts directory of config directory.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the concern. When I ran su - oracle on KDE Konsole and then stopdb.sh, I got the following output: -
    xsetroot: Unable to open display ' '
    xsetroot: Unable to open display ' '
    and it worked. It stopped the database. Similarly by typing startdb.sh I was able to start the database with above two messages.
    Then came the real part. When I saw the menu entries for Starting & Stopping Database in KDE Menu, they were running as current user. I changed them to run as 'oracle' user and it worked.
    Now I'm able to start and stop database form the KDE Menu entries.
    Another Tip: May be useful to someone: -
    When we run the SQL Command Line Utility from KDE Menu in Suse 10.0 it runs in old style terminal. When I saw the script it ran i.e. startsqlplus.sh of some thing like this ( I don't remember the exact name, but you can find out by right clicking on menu entry and then edit item), it came to know that it was seeking gnome-terminal in /usr/bin and in Suse 10.0 gnome-terminal is located in /opt/gnome/bin!!!!!!. So, I made a symbolic link /usr/bin/gnome-terminal for /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-terminal and now it presents me with nice gnome-terminal to run SQL Plus command line.
    Thanks

  • Oracle 10g Personal Edition

    I see that there is a personal edition of 10g which appears to be embedded in the Enterprise installer.
    The OTN refers to 30 day trial periods etc. but makes no specific reference to the personal edition.
    Do the same 'rules' apply or is the personal edition as per industry standards - free to use to develop one's own database.
    Often the personal editions of software allows one to develop and even deploy 'stand alone' software - not my purpose, which is for learning Oracle - but just wondering about the extent of use of the personal Edition.
    Regards,

    The situation is that we do have a valid Oracle license for the system running at work. I just need to learn Oracle and develop applications that will be transferred to the Oracle server at work.
    Need to do this at home as I haven't the time to do so at work - hence looking at the Personal version.
    Have looked at XE but it doesn't come with the 'standard' tools that the commercial verions of Oracle come with.
    Would like to proceed as per the 2 Day DBA course, which is more of a tutorial, so need to have 'hands on' experience. Not a good idea to mess around with a live database in my opinion.
    Thanks and regards

    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
    But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

  • Auto Start/Stop Oracle Database Lintener DBConslone on Linux

    Dear all
    I have install oracle 10.2.0 on redhat 4.7 every time i have to start manualy.
    it try with following scrip / process but database not starting automatically.
    Please any one can provide steps for auto start and stop oracel services on RedHat 4.7
    Once the instance is created, edit the "/etc/oratab" file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y'.
    TSH1:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0:Y
    Next, create a file called "/etc/init.d/dbora" as the root user, containing the following.
    #!/bin/bash
    #chkconfig: 345 95 10
    #description: init script to start/stop oracle database 10g, TNS listener, EMS and isqlplus

    Actions >> Add Service Then
    Service Name = dbora Then Press Ok
    chmod a+x /etc/init.d/dbora
    Check is it running this service properly
    service dbora stop
    service dbora start
    showing error
    :bad interperter : no such file or directory
    Please forward me process/steps for auto start/stop oracel services

    :bad interperter : no such file or directorymeans that it could not find the interpreter which should be used to interpret the script.
    most probably this is caused by the shebang (#!/bin/bash)
    the default location of bash on RHEL (OEL/CentOS) is /bin/bash, which means that the shebang looks correct.
    can you make the shebang:
    #!/bin/bash -xso shelltracing is put on and execute script again?
    this will make clear if it is the shebang in your script, or in another script.
