Using sqlplus to connect to an Oracle DB

I want to connect to an Oracle data base running on a Windows server. The name is ora_prod6. In the tnsnames.ora file:
ORA_PROD6.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = ORACLE-01.XXX.XXX.COM)
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = P06)
I can ping the server oracle-01.xxx.xxx.com from my Linux box. I can run sqlplus (after a nightmarish installation).
I have a userid and password for the Windows network that work (I can use smbclient and smbmount to access shares).
But I can't get access to the data base ora_prod6.
I've tried:
sqlplus myid/mypasswd@ora_prod6
but I get various error messages.
I've also tried:
[oracle@rbilonick admin]$ sqlplus

Any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks.

Couldn't you use dblinks to the 9i database from your current database?
Thank you,

Sqlplus to connect to remote oracle database server

Hi,
I have oracle 10g database server on solaris 10 and I usually connect using my solaris account and run sqlplus on the server itself. this works !
I have downloaded and installed oracle instant client for solaris 64 and I can run sqlplus command but I am confused on what should be the syntax on the command to connect to remote solaris 10 databse server where I have both system and oracle account.
I have tried sqlplus help but still I could not get correct sysntax which could be used to authenticate myself to oracle server.
I tried
sqlplus user@hostname:1512/SID
then it asked for password but when I typed password and pressed enter, it gave some error
but it again asked for username so I type user@SID and then password prompt - typed password and this works!
so I don't understand what should be the correct syntax so that in the first attempt only I am able to connect.
if possible please give the exact command with realworld examples,(I have tried with sqlplus -help already)
Thanks in advance.

wonder what if I did not have tnsnames.ora on the client machine, how will be the syntax?You generally need (or at least strongly want) a tnsnames.ora file on the client machine.
- You could configure Oracle Internet Directory and let that product provide TNS alias resolution for the organization (similar to setting up DNS for a local network).
- Many tools (I haven't personally tried SQL*Plus and it may be version dependent) allow you to specify the entire TNS alias from the tnsnames.ora file (i.e. everything after the abcd.domain.com = entry) but that is hugely cumbersome to type
- Depending on the Oracle client version, the sqlnet.ora file, the complexity of your configuration (i.e. if you are trying to use more sophisticated features like failover), you may be able to use the EZConnect syntax
sqlplus username/password@host:port:SID/service_nameWhere host is the server that the database is running on, port is the port the listener is listening on (i.e. 1521 by default) and SID/service_name is the SID or service name you're trying to connect to.

Unable to connect using sqlplus using Oracle 11.2.0.1 32bit(x86) client

I have database running on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux 5.5 64bit. Another server where I have installed Oracle Client 11.2.0.1 32-bit (x86). (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-linuxsoft-085393.html).
But I can not do tnsping, I get segementation fault. Additionally, I can not to database using sqlplus <user>@SID. I get prompted for the password, then I am back the unix prompt again without any error.
For debugging, I installed 64bit version of the client, which can connect to database. I am using same version/copy of tnsnames.ora. No special character (^M) in the tnsnames.ora.
Any suggestions how do I get this fixed?
Thanks,
KP

I figure I should update my findings on the resolution.
during Oracle 11.2.0.1 client installation, there was an error/warning message about oracle net configuration assistant unable to run. So, I had ignore it thinking its benign and created the tnsnames.ora file manually. On a hunch after 9 days of debugging, i decided to look into this warning message, and found some info in the ora32Inventory/logs/installAction-<date>.log. It had following error about java when running oracle net config.
INFO: # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (1.5.0_17-b02 mixed mode)
INFO: # Problematic frame:
INFO: # C [libnnz11.so+0x3c35e]
So, I google the error, and after some research and reading, found an oracle patch to address this error:
ORA-24550: SQL*Plus 32-Bit Client May Crash On Linux X86-64 OS With AMD Processor [ID 1120724.1]
Patch info: 8670579 - DBBETA :NETCA/DBCA FAILED WITH HOTSPOT VIRTUAL MACHINE
Typically, this patch (8670579) is installed on Oracle RAC. however I tried on my app server (oracle client). It resolved my sqlplus issue and more importantly it resolve my application (Business Objects/BSAE) installation issue where it was unable to connect to oracle database using 11.2.0.1 client.
Cheers,

Connecting to an oracle database with SQLPlus

I'm trying to connect from one CentOS server with SQLPlus installed to another CentOS server with Oracle installed.
I've installed
oracle-instantclient-basic-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
and
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
on the first server.
I'm able to connect to the oracle server via SQL Developer without difficulties.
When I try to connect to it via the command line with SQLPlus, I'm running the following:
sqlplus savantdb@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl
But all I'm getting back is something that reads like help documentation.
I've exported the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point at /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib/:/lib
I've created a tnsnames.ora file in my home directory containing the following:
orcl=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=drax)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)
Then I tried moving to my home directory and running
sqlplus savantdb@orcl
This prompts for a password, then throws the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Then asks for a username/password, after which it throws the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
What I want to do is allow my unit tests written in Selenium and PHPUnit to make shell_exec calls to execute sql files to recreate the database from scratch before putting the application through its paces. So I need to make it totally non-interactive.
Can anyone give me a clue where I'm going wrong here?

You are mixing up the various naming methods. Try to stick to one!
Your first attempt sqlplus savantdb@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl uses the so-called "easy connect" method.
That's actually not a bad idea, as it is fairly short and does not require a "tnsnames.ora" file, which is a pain in the somewhere or else.
sqlplus has a parsing problem if you don't enclose part of the string in double quotes. You cannot find that in the documentation, but in Metalink Note 274757.1.
The syntax is like this:
sqlplus savantdb@\"//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl\"
Your second attempt tries to use the TNS (local) naming method, but for that you need to have an environment variable TNS_ADMIN pointing to the directory containing "tnsnames.ora". It does not matter if that directory is your current directory or not. You don't need that if you use the method described above.
The last error message is because of the annoying behaviour of sqlplus to ask for username and password (for a local connection!) again if the first attempt failed.
You can avoid that by giving sqlplus the -L flag.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
PS: If you want to "make it totally non-interactive" you should add a password, like
sqlplus savantdb/password@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl
In that case, you don't need to add the \"

Database connection issue using SQLPLUS

I have a WIN7 Host named DELL-i5 and a WINXP VM named VMXP on VMWARE.
Now, the host has a Oracle 11g database orders, SID - orders, username - SYSTEM, password - abc123. I have set the listener to be on port 1521 using NETCA.
The VM has Oracle client 11g.
The VM is connected as Bridged and host and VM can ping each other.
Now, when I choose to connect to the database using this command from VM :
sqlplus SYSTEM/abc123@//DELL-i5:1521/orders
I get ORA-12170: TNSConenct timeout occurred
I have tried the following on th Host's SQLPLUS and only this worked
SYSTEM/abc123@orders
What do I do ? Thanks

What do I do ? ThanksYou have tested connectivity via ICMP - so there is a network route between the sender and receiver. However a timeout results when using 1521/tcp for access via SQL*Plus.
First test connectivity for that port using telnet. On VMXP try the following.
telnet dell-i5 1521
Do you get a connection? If not, then it means that despite ICMP reporting connectivity, there is none on 1521/tcp. In that case the culprit could be a firewall.
If you do get a connection, then try sqlplus next, but without a tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora file - e.g.
sqlnet syste/abc123@"(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=dell-i5)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=orders) (SERVER=dedicated)))"
The idea is to keep the number of configuration files and details to a minimum for testing purposes and to isolate the problem.
Also check basic stuff like netmasks of both the guest and host operating systems, routing tables and so on.

Connect using sqlplus

Total noob question. I'm having trouble connecting to my database using sqlplus.
The database is on a different machine and is 11g. I have 9i and 10g clients installed locally.
I'm using the following syntax:
sqlplus usrnm/pass@orcl
and the error i get back is TNS could not resolve connect identifier specifiied
my tns entry looks like this:
DEVORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dev-vmdb01)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
I also have a different TNS entry to another db like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dev-db02)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
I could see how it would be confused. But i'm not asked to specify the machine name so how can i correct this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

How to use oci7 to connect oracle 7.1.6

is that only need to change the String as "jdbc.oracle.oci8:" to
"jdbc.oracle.oci7", it will search for oci native code by the jdbc driver?
my using classes12.zip; and classes111.zip also available.
which gentleman can help me?
thanks
fred

String change alone will not help. Oracle connects to a remotely located database via its own netclient software which you must install. If the platform is same for client and database server, then you do not need netclient but you then have to keep listener running and set up Oracle home, Oracle_sid properly. You could test all these connectivity issues by using sqlplus. If that works well, everything is fine and you then just have to experiment with different connect string in your java prog. hope this helps??

How to STARTUP multiple Oracle Databases, using sqlplus

Hi guys,
I am pretty new at solaris and oracle, right now i have oracle 11gr2 installed in my Solaris 10 machine.
I managed to create 2 databases with 2 different ORACLE_SID, (e.g. A & B)
my question is, is it possible to have both of this Databases mounted and opened??
here is the step i have done so far:
- go to /ORACLE_HOME/bin
- I started my one and only LISTENER - ./lsnrctl start LISTENER
- ORACLE_SID=A
- ./sqlplus / as sysdba
- SQL>STARTUP
Everything went well, until i set another ORACLE_SID (in another terminal) to ORACLE_SID=B, and when i tried to start it up using SQLPLUS, i get this "Segmentation Fault - core dumped".
It seems like i start the 2nd database wrongly, is there proper way to do this?
i need the 2 databases (SID A & SID B) to be running concurrently.
thanks

Can connect using sqlplus, cannot using SQL Developer

Hi
I cannot find out why I cannot connect using SQL developer, while sqlplus works fine with the same login information.
*1. TNS ping:*

It seems that I have connection to the server, but from some reason it is disconnected when I'm using SQL Developer, but works fine with sqlplus.
Any ideas on what it might be?
Thank you in advance,

The connection export function it's available in 2.1.1.64, you need to right click on the main Connections node, and it will allow you to export all or part of the current connections, or import from a previously exported file.
As for the highlight statement feature it's available in SQLDeveloper; actually you do not even have to highlight the required statement, as long as you take the habit of ending every statement with a ";", in this case you only need to place the caret inside the statement and SQLDeveloper will automatically highlight it for you (if you want to manually highlight a statement you can still do so without problems).
Finally as a last try to solve your connection problem without having to call for network support you could try to check
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick DriverThis will force SQLDeveloper to use your oracle client for connections instead of it's native JDBC based connections (even if you use TNS based connections you will still use JDBC unless you have this checked).
As for other graphical tools for Oracle there are many both free or for a price.
1) In the for price world Toad stands out, i heard of a free option too but I'm not sure of the limitations.
2) For free you can use DBVisualizer which is fairly good (never used it too much thou).
3) Finally there is SQuirreL which is both free and open source but it has fairly basic functionality compared to the two above.
Obviously there are many others, but IMHO few will provide you with the same functions of SQLDeveloper or Toad for Oracle databases

APPS connection to db using SQLPLUS

Hi Gurus,
As part of security implementaiton after a successful upgrade of DB from 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.5 we have created custom db users to connect to the database so we can audit user activities. We have also changed the APPS password and other users like HR etc. Now we want to disable APPS connection to the db using sqlplus and toad.
Is there a way we can stop Apps and other users like hr connection to the db using sqlplus and toad?
Thanks.

1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
Thanks,
Rp.
Hi,
As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)
