Hello all,
I am new to Oracle database, and have little background in creating databases in Microsoft SQL Server. I want to create a database on a server machine, and access it from the server and client machines to use it in another software (ArcMap).
Here is what I do with MS SQL Server:
- Install SQL Server on both the production and client machine (same installation on both).
- Create the database on the server.
- In ArcMap on the client machine I connect to the database.
I am confused with the installation of Oracle Database since there is two types: Oracle Server, and Client and I don’t know where to install each one:
I installed the server (only) on the production machine but I can’t access it from the server machine itself, when I connect to the database in ArcMap an error that says: “Cannot connect to database because the database client failed to load”! then I installed the client and the same problem appeared!
I installed the client on the client machine, but it also did not work.
I am also confused with the configuration of the database itself, there is a component called listener which I don’t know what it means, what its function, how to configure it, and where should I configure it (on the server or the client ).
Any help is appreciated
Regards,
Hani
