Suffering trying to start up oracle 10g-XE on ubuntu 11.04 (64bit)

After installing oracle 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit), i tried to start the database
# su - root
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
and it would not start.I also tried to launch the sqlplus prompt and that would not also launch, i am stressed up and do not know what to do next. I someone has done that successfully, I will be happy to receive the very steps that he or she used in solving that problem.Thank you oracle gurus. Peter Asane

Hi,
Did you configure database by running script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure ?
If you did configure database by running script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure , did you chose not to start database on boot?
That lead problems in many cases. This might help

Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit

We are running Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit Edition. I am NOT a DBA, so forgive my ignorance.
We have 16GB of physical memory in this server. I was told by a DBA that Oracle runs on "a single process", and because of that, he said that Windows Server 2003 Standard will only allow 2GB max for a single process.
Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

This sounds more lika a Windows issue. If both Windows and app is "64-bit", I would expect the user virtual address space (per process) to be in the TiB range, if not larger.
(The said 2GiB limit applies to a 32-bit system.)

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower
Currently we have a database using Oracle 10g XE R2
(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)
on a linux 32bit server.
And recently we did migrate it to another 64bit linux server.
But found after migration is it running slower at 64bit server (~ 25% slower)
1. We would wonder any tuning is required on 64bit server?
Besides, as I know Oracle XE only using single core CPU for processing.
On 32bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31235 @ 3.20GHz
On 64bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
2. Would the CPU clock speed on a single core also made the 64bit Oracle slower?
Thanks a lot.

32 or 64 bit normally won't cause much performance difference as long as you can't use > 4GB RAM
Please note that XE can use only 1 core and 1GB memory.
According to benchmarks, Single Thread Rating of the 2 CPU really differ by around 25%. Quite consistent with your observation.
Of course, IO (i.e., disk) speed is also an important factor.

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

Error starting up Oracle 10g database.

Hi,
(I had shutdown my database by "shutdown abort")
Now i'm getting the following error while trying to startup Oracle 10g database version :- 10.2.0.1.0.
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-07345: The datafile name must not contain the string '..'.
I get the same error even for startup/ startup mount
currently i'm using only pfile for startup as there is no spfile in dbs directory.

Hi Kuljeet,
This is a very strange error, i know, controlfile contains are not read in "no mount" state of database... still i'm getting the error.
The contents of my pfile are as follows :-

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.

Install Oracle 10g XE in ubuntu

Hi every body;
I have installed Oracle 10g XE for n-time, and for each new install I find new problems:
previously the welcome page http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex seems to work but I found a lot of problems so I decided to-reinstall the whole application.
but this time, even with every thing seems to work, I have not the access to the welcome page, here is the result of the configuration:
/ect/init.d/oracle configure
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Configuration
This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g Express
Edition. The following questions will determine whether the database should
be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords that
will be used for database accounts. Press <Enter> to accept the defaults.
Ctrl-C will abort.
Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:8081
Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:
Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same
password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use of
different passwords for each database account. This can be done after
initial configuration:
Confirm the password:

Dear user541941,
I had the same problems months ago...
Which ubuntu version dou you use? 6.06 LTS or 6.10?
Which XE version did you install?
I had my problems using 6.06 LTS.
My symptoms were the same.
After re-installing the host (6.06 LTS as well) it worked without any problem, don't know why!
Good luck!

How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
Thanks in advance
Mayank Adhikari

The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
Toad 9.7.x.x
SQL Developer
SQL/Plus
Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.

anyhow 64bit oracle is required right? and if im installing this any mismatch will be there with oracle 32bit data and 64bit data while importing?
pls mention the difference between oracle 32bit and 64bit if any..
pls help..!!

Starting logminer oracle 10g database

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGMNR_D", line 12
ORA-06512: at line 1
please help to resolve this issue
thank you all

For all files you need to create from Oracle on the O/S
you need
either
- a directory listed in the utl_file_dir parameter
- a (symbolic) directory object
Utl_file_dir is for backwards compatibility only, but as you don't have directory objects, the parameter was interpreted as a hardcoded utl_file_dir directory.
To create directory objects issue
create directory logmnr_output as 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\';
grant read,write on logmnr_output to public;
For this solution you don't need to bounce the database.
You need to change the hardcoded directory name in logmnr_output
The other solution
alter system set utl_file_dir='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\' scope=spfile;
and bounce the database
If you would have looked up the error message, you could easily have come up with this solution yourself.

Getting started with oracle 10g

hi everyone,i m trying to store n retrieve images thru JDBC to Oracle interMedia[i i m new to this...can anyone help in this by guiding how to make connectivity n other stuffs required..

I've not used any of the InterMedia packages; I would guess that they're just more-or-less straight-forward stored procedure calls.
Oracle has lot of information on-line:
JDBC samples, many of which are complete working programs
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
JDBC Developers Guide and Reference
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/toc.htm
Some other JDBC links and the driver compatability chart...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
Also, you can download the JavaDocs for Oracle's extenstions to JDBC from the same place the drivers are available:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
If you don't want/need to use Intermedia, the JDBC examples include storage and retriaval of an image as a BLOB, in the LOB example.

CMS tries to start before Oracle service - therefore cannot contact its CMS database

Post Author: patrickcoote
CA Forum: Deployment
HelloI have a windows XP sp 2 machineOracle 9i installedCrystal Server XI Rel 2 (evaluation copy)My problem is that the Central Management Server (CMS) is starting up before the OracleService that the CMS database is installed on. Therefore CMS cannot start automatically and any of the jobservers etc cannot register with CMS.In event viewer i get this:"The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress)."When the PC boots up fully I can go into Central Configuration Manager and start CMS manually and access all of its features with no problems.I looked at this sitehttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/LoadOrder.mspxThe program here lists processes in their startup order and I can see from there that CMS and the other Crystal services are started before the Oracle services, for example
BOBJCentralMS starts before OracleServiceBW (alphabetical order)In CCM, on the Dependancy tab for CMS (and all other CR servers) I have added :OracleServiceBWOracleMTSRecoveryServiceOracleOraHome92TNSListenerOracleOraHome92Agent(I thought that maybe this would tell CMS to wait for these to start before starting itself )But still get the same error(s)I can provide any more info if needed.Best regardsCootser

I have used Regedit.exe, regedt32.exe and Crystal Central Config manager, all of which aloow you edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BOBJCentralMS\DependOnServiceWhichever way I've loaded in the oracle services to that key (binary) has made no impact.The oracle services start after Crystal and the problem remains.What I have decided to do is use a batch file (see below) to start the services when the machine boots upThis way I know they will start, and it does not take too long
