Test oracle database that I can use

Hi,
Does Oracle have some kind of test database that I can connect to remotely for testing purposes that I can access remotely? Alternatively, does Oracle have something similar to Microsoft's Northwind database that I can access remotely? I am playing around with different connection methods for a remote oracle connection but I am currently on my personal laptop and do not wish to access my company's remote oracle database on a non-workplace computer.
Thanks

Every oracle professional (or student) should have their own private computer lab. I'm assuming in this day and age anyone in this catagory already has their own computer. Starting from there, you should do the following:
1 - Go to vmware.com and download VMplayer. VMware freely distributes this so your cost so far is zero. If you are willing to invest about US$185 in your career, buy VMworkstation instead. It will give you some additional management features above what VMplayer has. Either product will allow you to create virtual machines on your personal computer.
1a - Install the VM product
2 - Go to oracle.com and download Oracle Enterprise Linux. Oracle freely distributes this, only charging if you want a support contract. As they also provide a free public yum server for distribution of most packages, even a support contract is not needed for your personal use.
2a - using your vmproduct and your downloaded linux, create a virtual linux machine.
3 - Go to oracle.com and download whatever db or related product you want. The terms of the oracle license agreement allow you the full use of any product for personal study.
By doing the above I have a full computer lab running on my Windows 7 laptop, for a total cost of US$185 - and even that cost was because I chose to upgrade my VM from VMplayer to VMworkstation.

  • Ive just learned that i can use loadjava to load jsp pages into the database.

    Ive just learned that i can use loadjava to load jsp pages into the database. How is that possible. How can someone go to my lets say, index.jsp page and actually see it if its inside the database? What authenticates it? Where would you set the parameters to tell http(apache) to look inside the db for the pages?
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. If I put the file on the database, does it have to be in a particular location? I've put it on the database server, launched sql*plus (as APPS) and ran the following:
    execute dbms_java.loadjava('-v', 'ZebraGetPrinterFromXML.class');
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Then when I try to run a process that uses this I get this:
    ORA-29540: class ZebraGetPrinterFromXML does not exist

  • ThinkPad X230 - Test Instrument: "This device cannot find free resources that it can use (Code12)"

    I am use an ExpressCard (http://www.home.agilent.com/en/pd-2053520-pn-M9045B/pcie-expresscard-adapter) to connect Lenovo notebook with instrument chassis (http://www.home.agilent.com/en/pd-1886666-pn-M9018A/18-slot-pxie-chassis).
    I found that Lenovo notebook failed to enumerate with the instruments with error "This device cannot find free resources that it can use (Code12)" in device manager.
    This never happened in Lenovo model ThinkPad X220 and models before that.
    Other affected model:  ThinkPad T430, T540p which all failed to enumerate.
    Note: All notebooks are upgraded to latest BIOS. 

    You are going to need to move that card to another slot. That is definitely your problem. I had mine in the PCI-E X8 slot which then knocked my video card down to x8 as well. So this definitely takes up resources. Also you can use something like EVEREST of Sisoft Sandra and those will tell you what else is sharing with that card. You could have a difficult network card that is fighting with it as well. You may think that its onboard and that of course it would not fight, but it does.

  • What do I have to do to bring iPhoto up so that I can use the program?

    This morning we received a software update for iPhoto (36MB) immediately after this download and installation we received a second software update for iPhoto (57.7MB). Shortly after finishing the second update I tried to open iPhoto to work on a slideshow of holiday activities.
    I went to:
    Dock > iPhoto
    Message: " The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
    upgrade ( I clicked on the upgrade button)
    "Loading photos... " " Examining Photo Library "
    Everything stopped.
    New screen: " There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto Library folder. >Finder, >iPhoto Library, >get info., ... check read/write permissions."
    I proceeded as directed. Permissions were all read/write for the iPhoto Library folder.
    I went back to iPhoto... repeat of problem.
    What do I have to do to bring iPhoto up so that I can use the program.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What was updated and did you repair disk permissions after it was completed?
    As a first fix attempt download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can anyone recommend cloud storage that I can use with my AppleTV?

    I'm looking to get 2TB for my music and films can anyone recommend one that I can use with my AppleTV? Preferably with cloud too.

    Thanks Rudegar
    Apparently there is a way of doing it using the WD live book (which i know is not technoically cloud but that is what WD refer to it as). As you have said it can stream from iTunes, but if you store your movie file on your network drive and point iTunes at it, it will work. Apparently its easy, file / add file to library - then navigate to the folder location via the file path.
    I'll be trying this as soon as a test unit gets here and I'll update you.

    Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

    You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

  • HT202667 Hi - My daughter was using her Apple TV until recently when she got a Smart TV.  Now the Apple TV is not needed so she passed it on to me.  How do I get it transferred over from her Home Sharing account to mine so that I can use it with my PC?

    As  Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
    This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing  a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

  • Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

    Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to set up my elderly parent with Mac so that I can use remote access to help her?

    I want to set my elderly mother up with a new Mac mini so that I can use remote access to show her how use email, browse the internet, share photos.  (She lives in KY, I live in OR)
    She has had an iPhone and an iPad for about 6 months and she can barely use them without becoming frustrated.   I want to be able to see her screen with her and show her how to do things.
    My plan is to set her up with a Mac mini and I'll use my MacBookAir to remote into her system.  I'm buying the mini to configure and then I'll mail it to her.
    My question is whether to try to use Back to My Mac or Teamviewer for remote access
    I have broadband with comcast and she has broadband with Access Cable.  Each have their company modem/routers--neither of us have Airport Express.
    I have my own iCloud account and she has her own.   If I use Back to My Mac, it seems that I would need to set up a separate account on my Mac that would sync to her iCloud account.
    Teamviewer seems easier because I don't have to use a separate account.   Any advice?   Anything that I'm not thinking about?

    As Linc says, you can establish a Screen Sharing session via iMessage and Facetime.  The advantage of these 2 approaches is that once your Mom gets used to using them, she will be more comfortable using them to communicate with you.  I've talked to my Mom via iChat (aka iMessage) more since she learned to use them, then in all the years before that (including when I was a child ).  And just being able to see your Mom via Facetime can be useful when you want to gage how she is doing.
    However, if you are any distance from your Mom, they you want backup methods incase something goes wrong.
    So beside iMessage/Facetime, the next best would be Back-to-My-Mac via iCloud, however, you will want to establish her Mac as using your account so that you have the right to take control remotely.
    An alternative that does not mix up your iCloud acounts would be to use TeamViewer.com (which has an unattended mode so you can do off-hour maintenance when your Mom is not around; or check up on her to find out if she is dating - Turns out if I had been paying attention, I would not have been blind-sided by my Mom getting Married again last Summer - she is in her 80's! ).
    LogMeIn.com, as dwb says, can be used the same was as TeamViewer.com
    Both LogMeIn.com and TeamViewer.com are very good at making it easy to get through the home router and if you are having any problems connecting using other Methods, TeamViewer.com or LogMeIn.com will most likely not have any issues.
    Back-to-My-Mac allows screen sharing and file sharing so you can transfer files as well as control the screen.
    Screen Sharing via Messages allows cooperative file transfer. That is to say, you can try pushing a file to your Mom, but she has to accept each transfer.
    TeamViewer.com has an unattended file transfer mode.
    LogMeIn.com requires the paid version to transfer files.  However, there are other ways to transfer files, such as downloading them from the original source on your Mom's system while using screen sharing, using Dropbox (or similar), emailing them, etc...
    Of course if you are really network savvy, you can roll your own via ssh tunnels, port forwarding routers, getting dynamic DNS names, transferring files via scp, or tunneling AFP file sharing, tunneling your screen sharing sessions.  Lots of fun and excitement playing with terminal commands

  • HT3053 I have a 13inch MacBook Pro and when I switch it on the apple logo appears then a slot and the circular symbol which is turning and then before opening the home screen it switches off again. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to load.

    I have got a 13 inch MacBook Pro and it got stuck in a loop so I switched it off by holding the power button down and now when I switch it on the apple logo appears then I get a blank slot at the bottom of the screen then the circle appears and rotates and then it switches off again, I have tried starting it again with the system disc that came with it when it was new but it makes no difference. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to start.

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.
