Trouble creating database

I have tried to install Oracle Database 10g Enterprise on a Windows 2003 Server. The actual installation works ok, but when I come to the step where an actual database instance is created I get nothing but errors.
First I get an error saying:
Instance created
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1388) A new member could not be added
to local group because the member has the wrong
account type.
Then I get lots of error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
And finaly I get an error saying that enterprise manager configuration failed.
I'm logged in as the administrator user in Windows.
Any tips what might be wrong?

Adding the computer to the ORA_DBA group didn't help, I still have to start the database service manually. Also, whats worse is that after a reboot the database does not come up properly. The services are started but the database is down and can not be started.
I had no trouble when installing on a standalone machine, but now it is in a Windows Cluster, and nothing seems to work as it should.

Trouble creating a database in MySQL using java

Hi all,
I am trying to create a program that connects to MySQL and can create databases, tables etc. I can connect to MySQL using the program but I cannot create a database (however if i create the database with the command line i can create tables in the database).
When I try to create a database i get the error
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'persondatabase'Here is the code:
import java.sql.*;
class Connect {
public Connect() {
public Connection connectToMySQL(String database_name) {
Connection con = null;
try {
   Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
   con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///persondatabase", "", "");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println(e); }
catch(InstantiationException e) { System.out.println(e); }
catch(SQLException e) { System.out.println(e); }
finally {
   return con;
public void createDatabase(String database_name) {
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
   con = connectToMySQL(null); //connect to mysql but not to any one databases
   con.setAutoCommit(false);
   if(!con.isClosed())
    System.out.println("Connected to MySQL. Creating the Database " + database_name);
   String str = "CREATE DATABASE " + database_name;
   stmt = con.createStatement();
   stmt.executeUpdate(str);
   con.commit();
catch (Exception e2) { }
finally {
   try {
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
   }catch (Exception e3) { }
public void createPersonDetailsTable(String database_name, String table_name) {
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
   con = connectToMySQL(database_name);
   con.setAutoCommit(false);
   if(!con.isClosed())
    System.out.println("Connected to " + database_name + " creating the table " + table_name);
   String str = "CREATE TABLE " + table_name + "(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR(25), last_name VARCHAR(25), address VARCHAR(40), suburb VARCHAR(20), state VARCHAR(3), post_code INT(1), contact_number INT(10), email_address VARCHAR(40));";
   stmt = con.createStatement();
   stmt.executeUpdate(str);
   con.commit();
catch (Exception e2) { System.out.println(e2); }
finally {
   try {
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
   }catch (Exception e3) { }
}I am wondering if anyone can see where im going wrong? I am currently connecting with an anon account to MySQL.
Here is the program I am using to test the above:
class ConnectionTester {
public ConnectionTester() {
Connect s = new Connect();
s.createDatabase("PersonDatabase"); //this throws the error
//s.createPersonDetailsTable("PersonDatabase", "PersonDetails");
public static void main(String[] arg) {
ConnectionTester start = new ConnectionTester();
}

you should rethink whether you need to create a database using java. personally i think it's a bad idea. your database should exist and the schema should be ready to go when your app starts. why do you think you need to create one?

Trouble Creating Users Via Web Form

I'm having trouble creating user in a 9i database via web front end.
I use the following sql to create the user
strSQL="CREATE USER"""+strUser+"""PROFILE ""DEFAULT"" IDENTIFIED BY ""HELLO"" DEFAULT TABLESPACE ""DATA"" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE ""TEMP"" ACCOUNT UNLOCK"
I then execute another two sql statments to grant "connect" thus
strSQL="GRANT ""CONNECT"" TO "+strUser+""""
strSQL="ALTER USER """ strUser"""DEFAULT ROLE ALL"
Whenever I try connecting using the new users details, but get an error message that the server had problems accessing the LDAP directory service(ORA-28030).
I'm happy that the SQL is correect as I created the account that I wanted using Enterprise Console and coppied the SQL it produced. I'm assuming that there's something in the background that is not being triggered when creating the user via the web front end.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

My apologies, I didn't realise HTML DB was a product. I thought it was a forum for questions regarding HTML and databases.
Doh!!!

Trouble creating new app

I am new to Planning and having trouble creating a new app. I'm working w/ the Classic App Wizard in Workspace. I have created a 'hypuser' schema on Oracle 10g and and I use this in the 'configure database' stage of the Planning config. I have created/activated an instance 'inst1', and then in 'data source configuration' I have created a new datasource called 'dsn1' and have configured it as follows. For Relational Storage Config I have:
Server: TestServer
Port: 1521
Product: PLANNING
Database: xe
User: hypuser
Password: password
For Essbase Server Info, I have:
Server: TestServer
User: hypuser
Password: password
In the Classic App Wizard, I select 'Create Application' and see that my data source name is pre-populated in the Select tab. I go on to choose a name for my app, description etc. and choose 'Planning' project from the Shared Services Project list. I then choose the instance that I had configured/activated earlier and finally check the Sample application checkbox. I feel I have followed all the correct steps, so I click 'finish', and after 5 minutes I get a totally nondescript error message: *"An error occurred while processing this page. Please check the log for details"*
Which log is this error msg referring to? I have searched thru my C:\Hyperion\Planning directory and don't see any log files. More importantly, I can't detect where I'm making a mistake in the overall Planning database/datasource config and app creation process? All my other Hyperion apps, Smartview, Financial Studio, Web Analysis etc are working great with my Oracle database, so I can't imagine that it's a database issue. But I don't know what else it can be! I have plenty of cpu/memory resources on my Window 2003 server machine.. (fyi).
Appreciate any advise on how to diagnose/solve this issue.
thanks,
Akshay

Hi John,
I've posted the following log (below) from the command window after running "startHyperionPlanning.bat" and going thru the create app process in Workspace. The log seems to point to a few different things that I have underlined.
1. It keeps referring to problems with JDBC connection. What does this mean in the context of Planning ?install/config?
2. It says "cannot set catalog name to: xe" Should I have used "+oracle: xe+" during the Repository config stage as the SID? I've used +'xe'+ in other places with no problems.
3. It also says that 'No object was successfully created...' because of either OLAP server or database not running. I've double-checked and both my essbase server and oracle db are working fine and can be accessed by other apps.
What does all of this suggest is the root cause of the problem. Should I go into oracle and manually delete all tables from the 'hypuser' schema? I'm a little skeptical about this, because during the database config I always choose the 'drop tables...' option.
Anyways, appreciate your continued help on this.
thanks,
Akshay

Getting ORA-01031 when attempting to Create Database

I am attempting to issue a CREATE DATABASE statement via JDBC but I am getting a "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error. I am logged in as an administrator and I have no trouble creating tables. I am also receiving the same error when attempting this from SQLPlus. I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Pino

Pino,
I haven't verified this, but only the SYS user can create a DATABASE in Oracle, and you also need to use a special login (when going via SQL*Plus) which JDBC cannot handle. Hence your failures both via JDBC and SQL*Plus.
By the way, if you are new to Oracle, but have experience in another database, then the Oracle idea of a DATABASE is probably different than what you're used to. That's probably why you're stumped. If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading the Oracle Database Concepts volume of the Oracle documentation, which is available from:
http://tahiti.oracle.com
Good Luck,
Avi.

Oracle 10g Help?Create database error

I am unable to run a script createDB having command create database kmaa.I open up SQL*Plus, connect and login without any trouble as well. When I try to create a database I get the following:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE kmaa;
CREATE DATABASE kmaa
Error at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01100:database already mounted
Any idea?

Hi Pete,
Oracle Express Edition creates a database automatically when you install it and the product is limited to one database instance per machine. Perhaps you are confusing users/schemas with what you may term a database. An Oracle database instance can be broken down into logical units called users or schemas. If you wish to create a database of books, you should create a user called books and then log on as this user and create your database objects. To make things simpler, Oracle XE comes with a browser interface based on Application Express. You can use this to create schemas, database objects and applications (forms reports etc) to access and manage those objects. Further to this you should RTFM.
Regards
Andre

Create Database alias

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating an alias for a database in Oracle 11gR2 (Server 2008 R2) using sql plus? Is there any reference of the command?
I've done this time ago but can't remember the command ;(

I support both names should be working?Yes. Just use "lsnrctl stat" on the server to check it out. See this example :SQL> sho parameter service

9.0.1 create database using dbca fails

Solaris 8, 64-bit SPARC, 528mb RAM, 2 SCSI 9gig. Development box with no other users/processes running except Sendmail.
Installed Oracle 9.0.1 on machine from CDs with no problems, Attempting to create database using Database Configuration Assistant.
Creating 'general purpose' database using dbca with generally default parameters. Progress bar gets to 50% done, "creating & starting instance" is checked in progress window.
CPU utilization goes to 100% and nothing happens for hours. Eventually have to cancel dbca. No control files or init.ora created, (pfile directory is empty) there are a bunch of oracle processes left running which have to be killed.
I've tried this several times, moved stuff to different drives and/or filesystems, no luck. Have 5 gig available on /u01 where the database should install, and 8 gig available on /u02 where the .dbf's go.
If I had any hair left, I'd pull it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am getting this same problem: The DBCA gets to the point where it is installing the database and starting the instance (it says 51% of the way through), and then it just sits there doing nothing. I noticed when I installed Oracle (9.2.0) when it got to the point of the configuration assistants, there was mention of a listener not being able to start and the installer assuming it was already started (the listener that is). When the DBCA started right after, it stalled out at 51%.
I aleady had the Sun JDK installed, but am assuming this is not the issue since the install got that far. Can someone please advise a course of action so that I can trouble shoot this? I am very very new to this side of Oracle. Any assistance is greatly appreciated and will be passed along to others in turn.
Thanks,
BillR

SQL Server error during create database through jdbc

Hi ,
Can anybody figure why I get the following exception
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '9876'.
at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.getException(Unknown Source)
at com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.tds.TDSRequest.processErrorToken(Unknown Source)
at com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.tds.TDSRequest.processReplyToken(Unknown Source)
I am trying to create a new database through jdbc, I use only numeric characters in the database name.
I can create the same database through SQL Enterprise Manager.
-vikram

The name of the database is 9876?
Plan A: save yourself trouble and start database/table/column names with a letter.
Plan B: if you really must, try quoting the database name: create database "9867".

Unable to Load Database/Unable to create database.

RoboHelp 6.0 on my PC is suddenly unable to open existing
projects or create new ones. The problem is not in the projects, as
other people can unzip the same set of files and open them with
RoboHelp on their PCs.
The Details:
When attempting to open an existing project (any project
whether in version control or not), I get the message " Open
project was cancelled or the application was unable to load
database for..."
I found the article that says to delete the CPD and XPJ files
and then to use the Edit option to open the HHP file so that
RoboHelp will recreate the two files. When I try that, I get the
message "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
read-only." It's
not read-only.
When I attempt to create a new project, the application acts
like it is going to create one, but it just creates a project
folder without the new first topic and then repeats the New Project
Wizard window that prompts for title, etc. It will keep creating
folders and returning to this window in a loop without ever really
creating a project.
RoboSource Control is functioning normally, by the way.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled RH 6 several times, and
have even uninstalled RH 6 and installed to RH 5 just to see if it
could open projects, which it does with no problems. After that
test, I uninstalled RH 5 and reinstalled RH 6, only to encounter
the same problem all over again.
This started happening after I uninstalled other unrelated
software and received a message that some Service Pack 2 files had
been changed and prompting me to insert the Service Pack 2 CD,
which I don't have. This is because our IT department pre-builds
our systems from an image and then distributes job-specific
applications over the network. IT tried repairing Service Pack 2,
but that didn't work. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall Service
Pack 2, but the IT person says it's too risky on a system that was
built from an image.
We would like to find out
which files RoboHelp is looking for when it launches a
project so we can replace those files manually. Does anyone
know what they are or have another suggestion that might fix the
problem?
Otherwise, I am stuck having to allow IT to rebuild my
system. That means reinstalling and reconfiguring everything on it,
just as if I were upgrading to a new PC. This can take a whole work
week. However, I have already spent close to a work week on this
problem, so maybe rebuilding would save time in the long
run.

Problem Resolution = HHA.dll
For anyone who might be interested in the resolution to this
issue, we did rebuild my PC and reinstall all of my software. The
RoboHelp installation "complained" that I did not have HTML Help
Workshop on my system and told me to download version 1.4 from
Microsoft. I did have HTML Help Workshop..it's in my programs list.
(It's not listed in programs on my co-workers' PCs, and they were
not having problems, by the way.) But to make RH happy, I
uninstalled the workshop and tried to install the version from
Microsoft. But a message informed me that I already had a newer
version of the workshop on my system, and I was back where I
started. I could open projects, but there were weird problems.
Selecting Topic Properties was met with an error message, and when
the properties window opened, I could only see whatever template
was assigned (or none if the topic had lost its template), and
there was an extra section for Oracle help.
So I started dinking around in the registry to see if I could
get rid of any traces of the workshop so I could install the
version RH wanted or to find any other clues to my problem. Under
HTMLHelpAuthor, there was a reference to an HHA.dll file located in
C:\WINDOWS\system32...only the file did not exist on my system.
(Remember that my original problem was that some Service Pack 2
files were either modified or missing.) So I did a Google search on
that file name and found out that HTML Help Workshop is included in
newer Windows operating systems, but that people used to have to
get HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, and that some people had
made the mistake of just putting the HHA.dll file into the
C:WINDOWS\system32 folder without also installing HTML Help
Workshop. At this point it was obvious that I needed the HHA.dll,
so I got it from a co-worker's PC. (Looking at the registry
entries, I can also see that my system was built with a slightly
different version of the operating system than my co-workers have.)
Adding the HHA file to my system solved the problem. All
projects but one were fine; one was still exhibiting the strange
behavior. I fixed it by going back to the RoboHelp 5 version of the
project and re-converting it to RoboHelp 6.
I suspect that if I had known about the HHA.dll file before
we rebuilt the PC, I could have solved the problem without going
through that painful process. That is why I thought I should post
the solution even though it was after the rebuild.

Installation stuck at Create database schema Phase 13 of 27

Hi
I am installing the Netweaver 7.01 SP3 and have already removed it completely after getting stuck at the same installation step. Do not know what is going wrong. A small extract of the log is shown below. Any advice on how to proceed will be helpful. I know when einstalling it has to be removed completely which I did using uninstallation and then clean up tool. But again it is stooping at the same step. I had let it run more almost two days but of no use. My system configuration is good enough with 2GB RAM etc.

Guess you are talking about sapinst.log file. Below are the last few lines after which it did not proceed
Do see the last step create DB schema....... The previos log was from sapinst_dev.log
Oliver I have a doubt could it be becuase of the host name.
The host name of my machine is "skumar278-1" with DNS domain name for SAP system "asiapac.globalcsc.net"
Could this be the reason for the problem i am facing i.e installation getting stuck at phase 13 Create DB schema.... Other than this I cannot see anything else which can go wrong.. Do have the DHCP server available..
The page file as per the ram settings i.e for 2 GB should be 3072 so I have set it to the same. Though
the prerequisite page shows
"For the selected services at least 7138 MB swap space are recommended. Current value: 2851 MB. (Updated 2005-06-24)"
Can this be the reason???
Also I just looked at the services file.. there are about about 4-5 different files with the name services .3 services.4 ... services.5 etc als there is no entry for port 3900 3600 & 8000.. .. do not know what to do... Please suggest..

By providing 113246208 bytes (as in default case) of
memory to SGA by setting sga_target value, Oracle gave
extra memory to shared_pool and buffer cache than in case
of default, thus helping create database statement to get
pass. Oracle always recommends to use automatic shared
memory management by setting sga_target parameter value.
Hope this experiment provides few clues about automatic
shared memory management feature of Oracle 10g. This case
was conducted on 32-bit Oracle. It is quite possible that
create database statement might get success in 64-bit
Platform as by default Oracle will provide 84 Mb to Shared
pool. But to confirm, it has to be experimented.

Trouble creating PL/SQL connection from JDEV to 10g XE

Hi,
I am wanting to run PL/SQL from JDev against the hr table in the 10g XE database.
 
In doing so I first need to create my first connection from inside JDev 10.1.3.2.0 to an Oracle Lite (10g) database. Both are installed on my personal PC.
 
So far I have been unable to create the connection; here is where I am so far in my attempts: 
Enter the Create Database Connection Wizard 
1) Entered a connection name and choose "Oracle Lite" as the connection type 
2) Entered the User Name and Password for the System user of the 10g XE database 
3) Entered Type 4 Driver; Host Name: localhost, JDBC Port 100, SID XE 
4) I created my own library called "Oracle_Lite" with a class path that points to an olite40.jar file. I did not set the Source path or the Doc path when creating the library. Is this the correct library? 
5) When clicking "Test Connection" it comes back pretty quickly with "Internal Error:Invalid Connect String" 
After talking with a work mate I changed the JDBC Port to 1521 and now when I test the connection it starts testing and doesn't stop. The testing indicator bar continues going back and forth indefinitely. Can I assume I am at least now using the correct port? 
Any advice or general tips on creating the connection to allow PL/SQL against the 10g XE database from JDEV would be great.

Oracle 10g XE is not Oracle Lite. Just leave the connection type as the default - Oracle(JDBC), later use the thin JDBC driver, it should work. Continue to use port 1521 and SID as XE.

Unable to create database error

Hello all-
I've been working on a project in Robohelp7/HTML for about a
week. I come in today and try to open my project and receive the
error "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
read-only.". I've done the obvious of checking the folders and
files within and they are not marked read only. When I create a new
project, I receive the same error. I'm stuck at a standstill and
can't figure out why Robohelp has decided to deny me access to my
project or the ability to create new ones. I went so far as to
uninstall and reinstall, to no avail.
Has anyone encountered this? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

There is a topic on Opening RoboHelp Projects on my site. Rh allows you to browse to either an XPJ or HHP file but that is only as good as the last time you generated an output.
When you open with an HHP you get an option to use the XPJ or not, in which case one is created. Either way there should be an XPJ. Not sure how you have lost it.
Backup?
