Xtreme.mdb sample database

Here's an excerpt from the Crystal Reports 2008 User's Guide:
A sample database, Xtreme.mdb, is available for you to use while you are
learning Crystal Reports. Virtually all of the examples
in this manual are based on Xtreme.mdb data. Xtreme.mdb is located on the Business Objects Technical Support web site http://support.businessobjects.com/samples/.
However, xtreme.mdb is not at the location stated. In fact it is not anywhere on the Business Objects Web site. xtreme.mdb has been a valuable learning tool for many years. It could still be very valuable with CR 2008. What can be done to make this helpful tool available again?

Thanks for this post. All localized versions of the database and accompanying reports are now available on the Business Objects Technical Support site at http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/samples.asp

Unable to access cube in OLAP Connection Browser using xtreme.mdb

Post Author: moontube
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello Blair,
Thank you for posting the xtreme.mdb sample database and associated reports on the Business Objects Web site. In addition to the xtreme.mdb database, you posted an OLAP cube named Sales Reports.cub. I am having a problem with this, using Crystal Reports 2008. I am able to connect to Sales Reports.cub as a local cube and when I click the Test Connction button on the Connection Properties dialog box, a dialog box appears telling me that I have succeeded in connecting. However, when I click OK to dismiss that box and return to the Connection Properties dialog box, the OK button is grayed out. I connot proceed. My cube does not appear in the tree in the OLAP Connection Browser. I would appreciate any help you or anyone else can give me to get me beyond this problem.

Before trying to use this URL in OBIEE to import cubes, try this in Internet Explorer.
Follow the following steps:
a. Run this URL in Internet Explorer
b. You should get an output like this:
+
- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
- <soap:Body>
- <soap:Fault xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<faultcode>XMLAnalysisError.0xc10e0002</faultcode>
<faultstring>Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect.</faultstring>
- <detail>
<Error ErrorCode="3238920194" Description="Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect." Source="Unknown" HelpFile="" />
</detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

c. If yes, this proves that the virtual directory in IIS has been configured properly. If you get any other message, for example "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found", it means there are some issues with Virtual directory.
Try this and let me know the results...and then we can proceed further

Crystal Reports 2008 Xtreme.mdb

I'm trying to get started and learn Crystal Reports. I can't seem to locate the Xtreme.mdb sample database to use for practice. I've received conflicting information on this. Can someone tell me how to get the data from SAP to Crystal Reports 2008 to begin evaluating the software?

You can download xtreme sample database (.mdb) for xir2 here, you can also use this with CR 2008:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005852352008E/cr_xi_xtreme_rep_smpl_en.zip
You will have to create your own DSN for it.
Crystal Reports 2008 now comes with xtreme db in XML format. You can download this here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006016532008E/XML_datasource.zip

My copy of Crystal Reports 2008 apparently did not include the xtreme.mdb demonstration database file. I cannot find it on the Business Objects Web site either. Does anyone know how I can obtain the version of xtreme.mdb that goes with Crystal Reports 2008?

OK, so perhaps it isn't that easy to get the Tutorial files downloaded. FYI they come as standard with Microsoft Visual Studio. I thought that they would be easily downloadable.
I did a quick google and here is a link to the xtreme.mdb
IMPORTANT I have not downloaded nor checked the validity and safety of this file hosted here **

I have downloaded the SAP crystal reports 2013, and want to try hands on before I delve to edit my real time reports.
Looking forward your suggestions, as my search has ended up in vain.

Hello Nagasubramaniam,

Xtreme.mdb database

Hi, I have a evaluation copy of CR2008 to try. I need a copy of the xtreme.mdb and the reports. I have been using crystal reports for 8 years. Can someone tell me where to get a download of the access DB and sample reports to test CR2008 on a vista laptop. Today is Oct 1/08 2:52 PM and I only have 3 days to test the CR2008 software. Thank you.

Hi Jim,
Please note when you install CR2008, it doesn't install xtreme.mdb and the sample reports. But you can download sample reports in the following link:
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
In the drop down list choose Crystal Reports / 2008 / Sample
It will list out Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports.
In regards to the xtreme.mdb, you can use the previous version of Crystal Reports.
Hope it helps.
James

Error in creation of sample database during installation of Oracle8

I am trying to install Oracle8 for Intel Solaris8. Near the end of installation - running database configuration assitant, the creation of the sample database failed by an alert:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
I also tried to run database configuration assistant in custom mode separately, "ORACLE not available" message came up.
I think ORACLE should be connected and running before creation of the sample DB, like installation of Oracle in Windows.
Anyone has the same problem or can give me a help?
The Oracle(8.1.7) CD comes with Solaris8 (07/01) package.
Thanks.

I would guess that your kernal parameters have not been set. Check you oracle install guide for the appropriate additions to /etc/system for semiphores and shared memory segments. If you have not made these changes, the database will not come up.

Beginners Guide Oracle Sample Database

Hi!
In the "Oracle Database 10g: A Beginer's Guide" in Chapter 2 a sample database is discussed with the tables customers, products, sales and costs. You need have it to try it the examples. How can I obtain it?
I have Oracle10gRelease2(10_2_0_1_0) installed on Windows XP Pro SP2.
Thanks,
Hans

Hi
What is the link of:
"Oracle Database 10g: A Beginer's Guide"?
Maybe this is only a sample schema in a database, not a sample database.
Create a new one and you will have this sample schema and tables.

What are the ODBC connect details for the HR sample database?

I have installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu 8.10 and read the Getting Started tutorials. Everything worked fine.
THE DSN
I need to connect via ODBC, to start with to the HR sample database on my PC.
The Getting Started tutorial says the userid and password are both hr, but what is the data source name (dsn) to be used with the SQLConnect?
THE INIs
The ini files below are the result of googling, not of any insight on my part.
/etc/odbcinst.ini
[OracleExpressdrv]
Driver = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1
Description = Oracle 10g express driver
/etc/odbc.ini
[hrdsn]
Driver = OracleExpressdrv
Application Attributes = T
Attributes = W
BatchAutocommitMode = IfAllSuccessful
CloseCursor = F
DisableDPM = F
DisableMTS = T
DSN = TestDSN
EXECSchemaOpt =
EXECSyntax = T
Failover = T
FailoverDelay = 10
FailoverRetryCount = 10
FetchBufferSize = 64000
ForceWCHAR = F
Lobs = T
Longs = T
MetadataIdDefault = F
QueryTimeout = T
ResultSets = T
# ServerName is TNS_alias_from_tnsnames.ora
ServerName = OraDB
SQLGetData extensions = F
Translation DLL =
Translation Option = 0
UserID = ken
THE ENVIRONMENT
Before running my odbc test program I issued
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and checked via env command that the ldlibpath actually had been set correctly.
After SQLConnect received the following error:
Usage error: SQLConnect: dsn=hrdsn, user=hr, password=hr <<< output by my test program
1: st=IM002, nerr=0, msg=
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
The first part of the error message hints at there being something wrong with dsn=hrdsn. I don't understand the second part 'and no default driver specified'.
I am totally stuck. Advice would be most appreciated.

Oracle® Database Express Edition Installation Guide for Linux talks about Compiling the Oracle ODBC Driver Demos. It tells you to download and install the unixODBC DriverManager from unixODBC. On Ubuntu this is already preinstalled and/or available via the Synaptic Manager. It also instructs you to run a makefile demo_xe.mk to build an odbcdemo program. The makefile did not work for me (hundreds of compilation errors), but I looked at the odbcdemo.c code and could see that dsn=TESTDBDSN for user=hr and password=hr. In other words, by luck the demo program seems to be connecting to the HR sample database.
I changed the /etc/odbc.ini file to:
[TestDBDSN]
Application Attributes = T
Attributes = W
BatchAutocommitMode = IfAllSuccessful
CloseCursor = F
DisableDPM = F
DisableMTS = T
Driver = OracleExpressdrv
DSN = TestDBDSN
and also in my test program which now produced the following error:
Usage error: SQLConnect: dsn=TestDBDSN, user=hr, password=hr
1: st=IM004, nerr=0, msg=
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_HENV failed
which shows that the unixODBC driver manager has loaded the driver and that the driver immediately encountered problems.
The sql calls issued before the SQLConnect("TestDBDSN", "hr" , "hr") were OK, i.e. these:
rc0 = SQLAllocHandle ( SQL_HANDLE_ENV , SQL_NULL_HANDLE , &henv ) ;
rc = SQLSetEnvAttr ( henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION , *)SQL_OV_ODBC3 , 0 ) ;
rc = SQLAllocHandle ( SQL_HANDLE_DBC , henv , &hdbc ) ;
SQLSetConnectAttr ( hdbc , SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT , (void*)5 , 0 ) ;
However, the error appears after SQLConnect and yet the rc0 was reported as OK.
The error message 'Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_HENV failed' is totally unhelpful to me as a user since I don't know the conditions that lead to failure. I really think this calls for some documentation. Such documentation should be complete, self-contained and correct and give ALL OPERATIONAL steps, i.e. I want to know exactly what I have to do. Ambiguous English often referring to undefined terms is not what Oracle beginners like myself want.
I don't know if this is a bug. It is so fundamental that Oracle ODBC driver writers could/should not have got it wrong. The connect does not even start.
I have googled for hours, but every lead has failed.
I don't want to give up on this. What can I do?

Is there any well designed sample database availabe for download ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I get the Oracle Express 10g and now i am looking for a good database with some test data inside it
to practice some tuning and sql commands.
is there any (rather big ) sample database available for download ?
Thanks

Hello,
XE ships with the Sample Application that includes the HR schema with some objects to work on. By default, the HR user account is locked so you need to unlock it first. It's usually a good place to start as many current and future documentation based on XE will include examples from this schema.

10gR2 under Solaris 10: Error creating sample database

I am attempting to install 10gR2 on a Sun Ultra 10 Sparc workstation running Solaris 10. I successfully configured the ASM drives and loaded the software, and am now attempting to install the actual database software.
While the installer is running the Database Configuration Assistant, the second "recommended" configuration program, I get an error almost halfway through that says "ORA-19879: error reading backup piece". Looking through the logs kept by the Assistant, I find this entry:

I couldn't find anything wrong in "example.dmp", and I couldn't find "change_on_install" in the directory listed, even while the error window was still on the screen. Most of the errors in the log following this fragment have to do with tablespace EXAMPLE not being there.
Someone else with a similar problem solved it by installing the database software without the sample databases. I'll give that a try tomorrow, but I'd still like to know where I'm even supposed to look to find the problem I had above.
Thanks,
Mike McCormick

Okay, I've found at least one source for this problem. There is a script called mkplug.sql in the demo/schema directory that had a line that began "host imp .....". 'imp' is in the db_1/bin directory, which the PATH variable does not yet point to.
So, my question now is whether I should change "host imp..." to "host $ORACLE_HOME/bin/imp..." in all the files it appears in (sted_mkplug.sql and sdoepsgv.sql, as well as mkplug.sql), or add $ORACLE_HOME/bin to the PATH variable manually.
What I'm going to try is to deinstall the database, scrap the directories, then reload the software only. After that, I'll edit the files in the demo directory and use dbca to create the demo directories.

How to connect to HR sample database using ODBC?

This is for Oracle Express running on Ubuntu 8.10.
The SQLConnect ODBC call requires datasourcename/dsn, userid and password as parameters.
What are these for the HR sample database?

Many thanks.
I have only just downloaded Oracle Express and have never used Oracle before, so I do not understand the meaning of service name.
The userid and password for HR are both hr, which just leaves the dsn.

Where can I get code for a sample database

I am learning Oracle PL/SQL and I need a sample database so I can practice my skills. Please Help.

You can refer PLSQL Devloper's guide at following location :
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96624/toc.htm
It explains PLSQL concepts and gives example code to get started.
