Trying to uninstall oracle 10g express edition

Hello,
The title says it all.
I installed the application earlier and I'm now trying to unistall it.
I tried to use the "classic" unistall function from the control panel but it didn't work. When I clicked "unistall" the oracle icon disappeared and but the program is still there.
Is there any other way to unistall it?
The version is "oracle 10g express edition" installed on Windows vista.
Thanks in advance for you're help!
Gladys.

I used this process and it worked:
1. Stop all oracle services
2. Delete all oracle registry entries
3. Delete C:\program files\oracle directory
4. Delete oracle_home directory
5. Delete oracle items from the start menu.
Interesting link for other that may be in the same situation in the future:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php
extract from the link:
QUOTE
In the past I've had many problems uninstalling all Oracle products from Windows systems. Here's my last resort method:
* Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
* Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
* Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
* Reboot your machine.
* Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
* Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
* Empty the contents of your "c:\temp" directory.
* Empty your recycle bin.
At this point your machine will be as clean of Oracle components as it can be without a complete OS reinstall.
Remember, manually editing your registry can be very destructive and force an OS reinstall so only do it as a last resort.

Oracle XE has it's own forum - to register and discuss XE problems with XE experts use URL http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/registration
Once you have registered, you sign in to the forums and the link to the XE forum is there. But you do have to sign in as the user who registered XE.
You will also need to provide a few more pieces of information:
1) actual distro and version of Linux
2) userid used to install XE (should be root)
3) userid used to run "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start" (should be root)

An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

Hi,
I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

Hi,
Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
Here's how I got rid of it.
Addressing all the facts one by one,
1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
*$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
password.
Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
replying this thread.
Cheers,
Prabath

Issues during reinstallation Oracle 10g express edition and Forms 6i

I've been racking my head over this issue for the past two three days. Exasperated, I tried searching in the forums but could not find a specific scenario like this.
I am facing issues while trying to get forms 6i to work with oracle 10g Express edition
i have windows XP home edition (installed service pack 2) and installed oracle 10g express edition as well as the oracle 10g express client and SQL developer on the same machine. The database started fine and I was able to use Enterprise manager.
After that I tried installing Forms 6i and whatever i try i am not able to connect to the database from Forms though I was able to connect easily from SQL developer. I used to get the error 12154 "TNS:could not resolve service name"
I dont know if Forms 6i expects the database connector string in some particular format. I searched on the net and found some people solved the issue by reinstalling the database software.
My machine name was complex so I changed it as well and reinstalled the software. Again the DB was fine and connections were fine but no way I could get forms to connect to the DB. All the time
I tried installing Forms to the same folder that Oracle express edition home in the hope that it might fix the problem. That only caused my database to crash. The oracle xe service shows as started but the Enterprise manager link does not work and it seems the database is down. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling client and server to no avail.
Has anyone gone through such a situation and solved this ? Appreciate your help.

The statement about XP Home is correct, but in this case I would say the initial problem (Forms and ORA-12154) is independent of that, it also happens in a supported environment. I think it's the old problem, a second Oracle home was installed, but tnsnames.ora containing the connect informations is located in the first home.
Either tnsnames.ora is copied from to <Second_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin or the environment variable TNS_ADMIN is set system-wide to <First_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin.
I think now it's necessary to create a clean machine (remove all Oracle components as explained in the database installation guide for Windows). Then repeat the installation , but XE and Forms 6i in different ORACLE_HOMEs.

How can i create a new database instance in oracle 10g express edition?

hello everybody
i'm a student
i am developing a database application
i'm using oracle 10g express edition
to run my application i need to create another database instance
but i didn't find any option for doing so in that product
if there is pls tell me where it is?
if not pls tell me how to manually create it?

Chaitanya Babu M wrote:
yaa i'm sure about that .
i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)

Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 ODBC Driver Always Crashes

I find that if you set up an ODBC Data Source for Oracle 10g Express Edition on Windows XP SP2 using the "Oracle in XE" driver, anything that tries to access it will crash, even the Windows ODBC Data Source Administratior if you click the "Test Connection" button.
Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
If you press OK, then it crashes and goes through the "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" process....

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but I can't get onto the XE forum.
I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/forum.html which says:
Forum registration is possible only by downloading and installing Oracle Database XE. After installation, click on the "Registration" link from the Database homepage.
However I find that the "Database Homepage" does not exist.
Choosing the Oracle XE "Go To Database Home Page" takes my browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex which is not available even though my oracle server is running and sqlplus can talk to it.
There's definitely nothing serving on tcp port 8080, as follows:
[dcampbel@clevo]~> telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Oracle 10g express edition browser login problem

Hi
I installed oracle 10g express edition and after installing successfully logged in browser , unlocked hr login and also created one form then I shutdown the database and rebooted my pc and since then when I try to login to "go to Database Home page" after starting database , I get a cookie 127.0.0.1 with username and password, First of all I am not sure what username/password it is expecting, I believe it requires my Windows XP username and password , I tried to enter couple of times my pc login username which has administrator privileges, I also checked it has ora_dba group but after entering pc username , password browser opens saying "unauthorized". I created another os user and tried with that still same. I tried entering oracle password "SYSTEM" and password for it but still could not login, I tried HR username password still nothing.
I tried disabling firewall but still same issue. I tried to re-install two time but still same .
Start database dos prompt does show all the process are started successfully .
I also did ping for 127.0.0.1 and it does ping.
I tried everything what I knew.
Can anyone please help me ..to resolve this issue .

Hi
This is how I resolved the browser login problem .
I checked the listener log
C:\OracleXE\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\log
And found the error
TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00512: Address already in use
I have another version for oracle installed on my pc .
I ended both the oracle process (Oracle.exe) through the Task Manager
Then manually started OracleServiceXe service through Component Services
Control Panel Performance & Maintenance Administrative Component Services
Then did following
Programs Oracle Database10g ExpressEdition Start Database
Programs Oracle Databse10g ExpressEdition Go to Database Homepage
Enter username SYSTEM
Enter password xxxxxx whatever given at the time of installing.
And I did successfully login to the browser .
Hope this will help to those of you who have run into similar problem which I faced
Good Luck .

I have a problem with oracle 10g express edition

Hello,
I have just installed oracle 10g express edition and I have a problem with the script editor. I can write anything in the window that appears below buttons undo,redo and find, It is like disabled. I use windows XP, Firefox 2.0 ( I have also tried with Iexplorer and It does not work either). I have javascript enabled.
anyone knows what is the problem?
Later,I have installed it in a virtual machine of Windows 2003 Server and It works well but I`d rather use it in my Microsoft XP
Thank you very much
Fernando Martínez

It looks like you can fix this if you replace the codearea.xbl.xml and codearea.iframe.html files in the
/i/editor folder with files from an Apex 2.2.1 installation - such as the one on apex.oracle.com.
Since I don't know what the licensing implications are, I will let you figure out the details.

Oracle 10g Express Edition Too Big

Why does Oracle 10g Express Edition require 1.5GB?
I've noticed it comes with a lot of stuff that I do not need. All I want is the database. I don't need a web server or any other stuff. I already have Apache running on Linux.
Second, why can't Oracle include the library libaio when installing on Linux? Every distribution I tried does not install this library by default.
Moreover, I don't think the Exress Edition is so Express. Is there any plans to trim it?

Why does Oracle 10g Express Edition require 1.5GB?It needs 383M for the software and config files.
After that, it's database size, including the 'master catalog'.

Apache running on Linux. So don't use it. Feel free to ignore the stuff it includes. Also feel free to duplicate what it does.
A lot of developers would prefer to roll their own than use someone else's code. Something about pride, or not understanding, or not being able/wiling to read docco, or job security, or ...
However, surprisingly enough ... it's not all about you. <g>

Because there is no guarantee that the prerequisites are in place.
Because installing libaio is a SA decision which may have an impact on the operation of the system.
And because auto-installing such a library can make other problems happen.
Moreover, I don't think the Exress Edition is so
Express. Is there any plans to trim it?Compared to the Enterprise Edition, it is pretty trim.
Perhaps you are attempting to use the wrong product.
