Oracle 11g XE and SQL Developer

SDCraigSep 1 2014 — edited Sep 9 2014

Hello:

Very new here.  I'm not sure where to post anything.  Apologies, but I'm all over the board.

I've installed 11g and downloaded SQL Developer (not even sure if this needs to be "installed" as it's just a zip file).

Anyway, at the SQL command line I enter CONNECT SYSTEM and then my password.  I get the following error:

ORA 12154:  TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified.

Also, the "get started" link does not work either.  Not sure what's going on or if it's specific to my laptop.  I've been trying to connect for two days to no avail.

thank for any help.

What's your Operating System ?

SDCraig

Windows 7 Enterprise

Didn't you have any problems with the installation ? The situation you  describe is quite strange...

Please execute following commands, and post results :

C:\>lsnrctl stat




C:\>set ORACLE_SID=XE


C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba

Of course you downloaded and installed the correct version (32/64 bit)...

SDCraig

c\> isnrctl stat

"isnrctl" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

c\> set oracle_sid = xe

"c\>"

c\> sqlplus / as sysdba

It's lsnrctl, not isnrctl.

Your listener is not running : is OracleXETNSListener service started ?

Ok, that worked.  Thanks.

Quick question:  To get started (importing data and utilizing the oracle text functions - ie, contains, fuzzy, etc.), is the next step to access "get started" from the start button and do all of this through the web GUI?  Can all of this be done through SQL developer?

Or should I create another help ticket for this question?
