Oracle 6i install password#
When I clicked on Test button and entered username & password I got following error: Here I am getting error when I tried to create connection through Oracle Net8 easy config from the box where forms installed (windows XP). So I rename current tnsnmaes.ora file on the Form XP machine.Īnd used Oracle Net8 easy config to connect. Oracle 10g Database is installed on Linux Server.
Now I am trying to connect to Oracle Database 10g instead of Oracle 7.3.4. I upgrdaed this version of from Form 5.0.
Oracle 6i install upgrade#
So I am upgrading from 5.0 to 6i and then from 6i to 10g.ġ) Do I need to change charaterset of 10g Database? If yes, how?Ģ) I will compile all forms 6i using a oracle 7.3.4 DB and then I'll upgrade forms to 10G of forms, then I can connect to the 10G DB and re-compile them.Ĭurrently, I can connect to the Oracle 7.3.4 DB (installed on Sun Solaris) from Oracle Forms 6.0.8.25.2 builder(installed on XP). Whe I used Net 8 easy config with Oracle DB 9i & 7.3.4.ĭatabase 7.3.4 is a current version of DB we are using for Oracle forms 5.īut my goal is to upgrade form 5.0 to 10g. I think I understand problem but need some help from you.
Oracle 6i install license#
:) I was only expressing a opinion shared with other people about a free runtime, a wrong image against developer (like a product to be deprecated) and a need for clear license policies. This sounds like a wish more than a complaint. You can do what you want but we would had wished you would had keep the client-server for some release more, or give a free runtime :) Why is as difficult to get a definitive position about licensing, because (if you read the thread) it´s not clear about new policies.
We work hard and don't have time, why you try to force something we are not prepared to (even when this is unevitable). There is no time to learn new technologies. JDeveloper requires still too resources. Honestly there several people that would like to be using client server, for some reasons like Oracle can change the rules suddenly, from one moment to other. There is no freeruntime (when this still exists for delphi, java, etc. Had created the image that developer is not as good product (tried to kill it) Other that want and can pay it.Īll that is the usual,and is unevitable, You're right about taking that decision,īut backward Oracle (intentionally or intentionally) There is people who still want to be using client-server with new features,there is other that want new feature, but can't pay it. You too says "If you used it as client server, and you want to continue using it, with really new feature, you must pay 5,000U$ otherwise use developer 6i only maintenance (like keep with "the old things" a punishment for those who like to be uptodate with latest release)" Your position seems to say "We offer a better product(no client-server feature), this will save you time and money and save us the work to mantain another release and made this new release better."Īdditionally was a rumor about "Killing developer/2000", but that ended, and it was not my impression that some people try to say that( you can read the thread some oracle people made understand that). There several, specially thos of the standard edition, that want the client-server, or uses because they can'd acquire knowledge or money to use IAS.įrom the beginning I supposed I was the only one in this world who was going to complaint about this, but that thread show I was'nt and confirmed other suspicios I had about some reaction could happend, about the misunderstanding about the license policies ias will have and the new developer 9i. Something I suspected once I knew your your new developer 9i/ias licensing policy, is happening, very subtle. I think you should had keep the client-server option at least to developer 11i. People says database+ias+develoer is too much, better we try using other database, or why not to try delphi. I agree that in some moment it was unevitable you would had to drop the support to client-server, but it was too soon. using an old release is like using not enough good or something that in some moment is going to be unsupported suddenly. I think Oracle killed client-sever, I'm not sure if you did it to get your customer go to jdeveloper 9i, or to get more money selling IAS.Ībout jdeveloper 9i, it's an excellent product, but it is still heavy (more memory and resources) and it requires people with a knowledge it takes time to learn ( I think at least! 3 months),īut the real effect I see, is that your are losing customersĮven when is true that you can swear them you are going to give support all the eternity to developer 6i. Hi Tom I would like to have your opinion about this
