Sample Schemas - sh.costs table rows not inserted

Apoorva S-OracleJan 29 2018 — edited Jan 31 2018

Hi All,

I am trying to install all the sample schemas provided by Oracle.

Everything gets installed fine but only the rows in sh.costs table is not getting inserted.

The error in the log file says:

Edit 2: I got the above error when I ran the @mksample script while keeping teh sh connection open in SQL Developer. When I closed all connections and ran the script again, I got the following error:

Snap45.png

Please help! I need this table for usage.

Thanks in advance

Hello, have you tried to rebuild the SH.TIMES_PK index?

HI,

It turns out that the error is different.

I got the above error when I ran the @mksample script while keeping the sh connection open in SQL Developer.

When I closed all connections and ran the script again, I got the following error:

So is this a SQL Developer issue? I.e., is the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable set?

Are you running the correct scripts? The ones in your OH/demo/schema won't work, you have to download them from github.com. This is in the docs.

Incidentally, I;m always surprised when I see Oracle staff asking for help on the public forum. When I worked for Larry, I would have died of embarrassment before doing that

Hi,

Of course! I have downloaded the latest files from GitHub.

Also, I don't see why one should be embarrassed to seek help and learn. I am not I hope you grow out of such psuedo-prestige.

Thanks

Hi,

I am using Linux. Also, I have given rwx permissions to all folders in the sample schema.

No, I am running the script from SQL*Plus.

Yes, $ORACLE_HOME is set.

The problem is resolved!

I dropped all the schemas, set oraenv again and then ran @mksample script.

This created all the schemas without any error.

Thanks for all the help

If you look at the scripts, you'll see that it drops all the schemas. That is why your first attempt failed: you had a session logged on as SH, so the DROP didn't happen.

Possibly second time it was a permissions problem that was fixed at some point.

Hi,

Yes, you are right. The @mksample script actually drops and creates the schema again. Hence I was not dropping all schemas separately. But when I ran the @drop_sch script before running @mksample, it worked fine.
