Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g Without the Oracle Database

I have never used Oracle, but have used MS SQL Server 7. I need to learn Forms. An Oracle salesperson suggested I download Oracle Developer Suite 10g (the demo product). It includes the Oracle Developer Suite (with Forms Developer), and many other programs.
The salesperson said it includes a database server, but I suspect it does not. I only downloaded the package last night, and have begun to skim the documentation, but I see nothing that looks like a database server.
In SQL Server 7, the database engine is run as a service and you create and manage your tables (do all the database admin stuff) using SQL Enterprise Manager.
So, does this package include a database engine/server? Or must you also have the Oracle Database?
I don't see a demo version of the Oracle Database - is there one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The Developer Suite does not contain a demo version of the Oracle Database.
You can download the database from this page:

  • Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g with the 10g Express Edition Database

    I'm new to Oracle and I'm taking an SQL college level course using a text book entitled "Guide to Oracle 10g". Our text book came with Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4.0.1) but no database. We adopted the 10g Express Edition (XE) as the database. I have both the database and the Developer Suite loaded on Windows XP Pro. I've been using the database for months now and it runs fine and the Developer Suite installed OK.
    However, I would like to use some of the Developer Suite apps (for learning purposes) with the database but I can't seem to log on to the database through the Developer apps when I open them and use my 10g XE database user-name and password. For starters, I would like to see if I could use the edition of SQLPlus (release 9.0.1.4.0) that comes with the Developer Suite because it has configuration options that are not available in the SQLPlus command line version that 10g XE contains (which otherwise works fine).
    When I open SQLPlus (Developer Suite Version) and try to log on with my database user name and password (and no host string), I get the error:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    I did search the discussion forum first and also reviewed some Oracle pdf's including the concepts pdf but came up empty. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to succeed or a determination of the compatibility of 10g XE with the Developer Suite. Thanks kindly.

    I think your last idea might be helpful at this point and in case it matters, they are both installed on a sinlge machine (laptop). Thanks in advance:
    Here is the Developer Suite tnsnames.ora:
    # TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

  • How to make a text formatting tools in oracle developer suite 10G R2

    Dear Oracle Expert,
    This is my configurations:
    ===============
    1) OS-> windows 7 (Ultimate-32bit)
    2) Oracle Developer Suite 10G R2
    3) Oracle Database 10G
    I create this form but i want it in that way. So, i can format the text written in text box, such as BOLD, Italic, make a url link etc.
    How can i do that using Oracle Developer suite 10G R2.
    Best regards,
    Shimul

    Mr.François Degrelle ,
    Is this the proper command for sign-in the jar file
    set PATH=C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin;%PATH%
    C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil\sign_webutil     C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\frite.jar
    I am bit of confusing for this command C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil\sign_webutil cuz here sign_webutil is used for webutil configuration. Just let me assure, that this is the right command or not. And if your answer is no, then what it will be.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Oracle Developer suite 10g Architecture-

    Hi Gurus,
    Does the Oracle Developer suite 10g deployed on Oracle Application Server 10g using an Oracle 10g Database come under 3- tier technology?
    According to my opinion, Forms is having both the presentation logic as well as business logic. If not the business logic will be in the Database (Stored procedures which Forms uses). In this manner the Business logis resides with the DB server or with the Form.
    How can we say it to be a three tier architecture? Any inputs on this is very much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Just to add a little on what Jan and Paul already said, and I hope not to confuse you more;
    You can install the OAS and the DB on the same machine, this way you will have 3 logical tiers but physically only 2 tier, since both the OAS and DB are physically on the same machine.
    PS: It is not recommended to Install OAS and DB on the same machine for production. you'll have many problems.

  • Can't get the correct Oracle Developer Suite 10g disk 1

    I tried to download Oracle Developer Suite 10g disk 1. After download completed, I check the size is only around 560mb, not 577mb. It is so wield. Then I followed the instruction and double-click the exe. I always got error it is not a win32 application.
    I tried to use various way to download the disk1. I always got the same file and have the same problem.
    About disk2, it is fine. I am just wondering if others have a chance to meet the same situation? Or oracle is putting an wrong file for our download.
    Your warm hands will be appreciated.
    Thanks...

    This download has been up for some time so I don't think it is a problem with the file itself. We recommend a download manager for anybody having issues transferring large files.

    which is exactly for me - so - can one make some preconfiguration steps? It seems strange, that one should check file by file the installation already prepared and tested by Oracle?

  • Problems installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows 7

    Hi Experts;
    I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows XP, but now I change to windows 7, 64 bits, I was trying to install this product and I'm having a lot of problems, apparently this product is not compatible with windows 7.
    My question is, is there any product, like Oracle Developer Suite 10g for windows 7? I was looking for in the Oracle page, and  I couldn't see anything, may be the name is diferent.
    Thanks for your help.
    Al

    First off, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is no longer supported so Oracle has discontinued improving the product.  While ODS is not certified by Oracle for use on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit), you can install and use on Windows 7 (32/64 bit).  This is a commonly asked question so a search of the forum would have given you several solutions.
    The limitations of the Oracle installer are:
    1.  You must have Administrator rights to install.
    2.  Windows 7 is not a supported version (it's version 6 and it is looking for version 5), so the installer exits.
    3.  It's unable to recognize Windows Managed virtual memory.
    To get around these limitations you must do the following:
    1.  Modify your Virtual Memory settings and define a specific Min and Max amount.   Look at this MS article if you need help making this change: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
    2.  You must run the Oracle installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP.  To do this,
      - Right-click on the setup.exe and select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP2"
    3.  While still in the properties and the compatibility tab, select the option, "Run as Administrator" and click OK.
    Now run the Oracle setup.exe and your installation should succeed.

    Regards

    Developer Suite 10 is not certified or supported to be installed on Win7 (64bit). Although it can be done, you will have problems later if you manage to get it installed. If you really want to have it on your Win7 laptop, I encourage you to install "Windows XP Mode", which is part of Windows Virtual PC. This is free to licensed Win7 users (does not apply to Home edition). Refer to the following:

  • Unable to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error message when using OUI on the Specify File Locations screen after providing source and destination:
    Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.
    Anyone else have this happen while trying to install? I see that a few people have been successful in getting it installed. The destination was provided by default as C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory.
    Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

    The Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is now certified by Oracle for installation on Windows 7 (32-bit). For installation steps, I recommend you take a look at My Oracle Support article: *How to Install Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit) [ID 1292919.1]*. There is no need to run the XP-Mode (Virtual PC) of Windows 7 in order to install and use ODS on Windows 7.
    Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.This error could be caused by many things. I've seen two. The first (as I recall) was caused by an issue with one of the files in the Inventory directory. We were able to get around the issue by deleting a file (I'm sorry, but I don't recall which file or if we simply deleted the directory). I recommend you check with Oracle Support before you delete any files or the directory, however.
    The other issue I've seen cause this is "spaces" in the directory path to the installer. This was the most common cause that I've seen. Make sure there are no spaces in the directory path where the installer is located.
    Hope this helps,

    It is an unsupported/uncertified combination - so the install may or may not work as expected. If the install completes, there no guarantee that the software will work as expected. Supported/certified OS versions are listed on the Install Guide. Is there a reason you are using this combination ?

  • Oracle Graphics Builder in Oracle Developer Suite 10g

    Dear All,
    I would like to immigrate from Oracle Developer 6.0 to Oracle Developer Suite 10g for our company application. I had a design tool called as Graphics Builder in Developer 6.0 but What I see in Oracle Developer Suite 10g that this tool doesn't exist any more. I still need to use all Graphics of the company application.
    Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ? If yes, then how can I make the design of Graphics in Developer Suite ? Is it a seperate tool any more I should have next to Developer Suite 10g ?
    I would be glad if experinced colleaques guide me on this ?
    Many Thanks for your valuable helps,
    Regards,

    Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ?Yes, Oracle has discontinued the "Graphics Builder product. In order to include graphical charts in your 10g Form you will need to use the BI Graph Bean that is included in the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html">Oracle Forms 11g Downloads</a> - Oracle Forms 11g Demo Pack. Download this .zip file and look at the *demos.html* document for instructions on how to use this Java Bean.
