Sub : Light weight version of Oracle for development in localbox

Hi
Do we have any light weighted DB version for Oracle 9i so that we can install in the same in local development box instead of a full blown server. Looking for smaller DB (in size,memory,cpu usage) that ensures that my code is appropriately unit tested.
Like a code tested using DB2 Express ensures that it works perfectly fine with DB2(full blown). Do we have any thing similar to this for Oracle.I need this for my project.
Thanks

I am looking at having IBM RAD, IBM Websphere 5.1
test environment and a light weight oracle 9i DB at
the backend which helps the local development
box(with RAM <=1.5GB) .Thats the reason I asked for.Is your issue with Enterprise Edition because of disk space or because of memory? If memory - learn how to tune the SGA and PGA.
Are you using any EE-specific features, or is the database just an expensive bit-bucket? If a bit-bucket, then 10g Express Edition will be just fine.

  • Developer version of Oracle for Linux

    I am currently enrolled in a class here at ISU where I am working with an off-campus company to develop a better user database for them. They run Oracle, but we must mirror their system on one of our machines to do the work. I was looking for a developer version of oracle that I can use this semester for this project. Does anyone know where I can get something like this?

    You can download it from OTN.

  • Free version of oracle for windows?

    Is there a free version I can download to my home pc to practice on?

    As long as it is for training or evaluation and NO development of production software, oracle doesn't charge anything to download their database software. The downside, is that you can't download any patches without a paid up metalink account. That being said, then simply go to the link below and download any version that you want.

  • Access to the latest version of Oracle for Windows/Linux

    I teach an advanced course about databases and XML at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. For that course I use Oracle as one of the platforms and the version available on the oracle website has certain annoying bugs that relate to the XML functionality. Those bugs have been fixed in the latest version (according to the documentation), but the latest version is not available for download without a support identifier. It has been over a year since the latest version came, so how come the download page still offers the old version? Is there a possibility to get access to the latest version somehow for use in my course? Is it possible to update the web page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html) so that it offers the latest version?

    Any patched version is available only for the customers who have the valid support contract and have access to MOS. Either you ask for a support contract being an education center or should purchase a support contract. You can look at different options available from https://store.oracle.com .

    Do you want to test using the tool where you would develop your application.
    If yes then you need to first decide which tool you would be using. Then you need to check what are the option available for that tool to connect to the oracle database. (For java it is jdbc driver. For ASP.net or any .net technology it is odbc driver. For Oracle products it could be oracle client)
    If you just want to connect to Oracle database server. You need to have a client that would connect to your database.
    But in any case you would be connected to Oracle database so what all changes you do it would be reflected in the database server.

  • 404 error when downloading Oracle SQL Developer 2.1 (2.1.0.63.73) for Mac

    Greetings,
    I'm getting a 404 error when I try to download the Mac OS X version of Oracle SQL Developer. The download page is at
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
    And it links to the Mac version at:

    Which doesn't exist.
    Is this the correct forum to report this problem?
    Thanks
    Mick

    I don't know what to say: I went to this link
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
    Clicked on Download in the upper right corner, re-accepted the whatever-they-wanted-me-to-accept and then the OSX download suddenly worked. Give it a spin and see if a circuit like that works for you.
    Good luck!

  • Variable Defaults in Light Weight Designer

    I have two Text variables(say NAME and COMPANY) in my project. Both of them are defaulted and are being used in my package. I created a scenario for the package by giving "Selectve Use" and selecting only the NAME variable as parameter to the scenario.
    I executed the scenario from two places. One using the Operator and other from the Light Weight Designer (HTML UI for ODI) .
    On execution from the Operator, the default value for both the variables are retained. But when I execute from the Light Weight Designer the NAME variable retains its default value but the COMPANY variable becomes null.
    I want the COMPANY Variable also to be defaulted to what i entered.
    I know that "Use All" variables while Scenario creation will solve the purpose, But i dont want the COMPANY Variable to be exposed to the User.
    Can anyone help me on this issue.

    Hi Vijay,
    Makes sense now...:)
    Well sometimes even though you say some default values ODI wont bother that...Here is the hack for that...
    Just make that variable to SET variable and Assign "Oracle" for that, make Action as not persistent,datatype as Alphanumeric and proceed with your procedure..
    Make sure that in your procedure give that variable in single quotes..means,
    update employee set company = '#COMPANY' where <condition>
    Does it makes sense?
    Thanks,

  • Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler start up error

    Hi All,
    I just downloaded Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009] by selecting the option "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE)"
    After I installed the same and tried to run it by clicking datamodeler.exe, I get the following error message
    "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
    On the same machine I can successfuly run the Oracle SQL Develper with no errors. My machine is having Windows XP Professional SP3.
    Any ideas? If there was a problem with Java, than the Oracle SQL Developer should also not run. But as stated it runs with out any error but the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler gives the above error.
    Regards,
    JAA149

    1 - The above problem has nothing to do with the memmory. I tried on a 400 MB RAM, 900 MB RAM, 1.5 MB RAM & 2 MB RAM with the same arror.
    "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
    http://i30.tinypic.com/9vkwf6.jpg
    2 - There are two "datamodeler.exe: files
    One is at D:\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe
    2nd is at D:\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.exe
    The same error occurs with both the files.
    3 - The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009]" and the file I downloaded is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE) - (57M)"
    If I look in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\README.txt" I find
    "Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6"
    If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\javacpl.exe" I get
    http://i30.tinypic.com/mt8ocn.jpg
    If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\jureg.exe" I get
    http://i28.tinypic.com/30boiyo.jpg
    If i check at the control panle add/remove program
    http://i30.tinypic.com/1428tba.jpg
    If I go to "http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp" and download "jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe" and run it.
    If I go to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6" I find the same files as in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre"
    I am able to run Oracle SQL Developer with out any kind of error let alone the above one. But with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler I get the above mentioned error no matter what I try.
    As the error states "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". The file "jvm.dll" is located at two places. One at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" and the second at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
    A similiar problem occurs with JDeveloper with the fllowing solution
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=506339&start=0&tstart=0
    Which states the following
    "hello!
    in the problem with JDeveloper i have a solution. The jdk have a file jvm.dll in the path: jdk/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll this is the problem ... now in the path:jdk/jre/bin/client/ojvm has a file with the same name if you copy and paste this file to the another path, now its works fine your Jdeveloper.
    Jdeveloper use two files to jvm.dll to work one in the folder /client and other in /server copy the same file to the two locations for precaution
    for me work fine thanks..."
    I tried to do the same (Copy from client folder to server folder)
    D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
    COPIED THIS FILE TO
    D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
    Nada. So I reversed it (copied from server folder to client folder)
    D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
    COPIED THIS FILE TO
    D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
    Does not work. So I tried another solution stated at the same forum entry
    "Well,
    i solved the problem by this way :
    <SQLDEVELOPER>/jdev/bin/ide.conf
    In this file, change this line :
    AddVMOption -Xmx512M
    by
    AddVMOption -Xmx256M
    Now, the executable is lauching correctly. No more errors with Java Virtual Machine.
    But is it a good thing to solve it like that ?"
    But the ide.conf file is only at "D:\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf" which is for the SQL Developer and not the SQl Developer Data Modeler
    Correct me if I am wrong but
    JRE = Java Run Time Envoirment
    JDK = Java Development Kit
    And Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler needs JRE and not JDK. In any case I download JDK
    jdk-6u14-javafx-1_2-windows-i586.exe (121,306 KB) and installed it but no succcess.
    I tried every thing except completely re-install my whole PC.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

  • How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

    Hi.
    I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
    Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

    Here we are again whith that question...
    I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
    I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
    And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
    But for me it is clear now.
    There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
    I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
    What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
    But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
    And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
    You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
    And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
    So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
    but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
    Hope this can help
    Jean-Yves
    ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)

  • PL/SQL and Oracle SQL Developer

    I just downloaded the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer, because I heard that it is free and comes with a debugger.
    So I have it all setup, I am connected to my database, but I wanted to execute a simple example:
    I selected to create a new Procedure and a new tab opened up, I pasted this code and under DBMS Output, I clicked the + to: set serveroutput on
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST1 As
    DECLARE
       mytext varchar2(100) := 'Hello world!' ;

       dbms_output.put_line(mytext) ;
    END TEST1;yet, I get an error:

    So, is this made to only work with the database objects ? Tables ? I can't execute a simple Hello World ?
    Please help, thanks!
