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.

AFAIK no version of Solaris, even nevada build 91 uses ZFS for the root file system.

You could use OpenSolaris 200805 which does this but there are some other subtle differences between OpenSolaris and Solaris.

If you are running Solaris 10 U5, you can only have mirroring using svm, plus the root file system must be UFS.
However, you can make a slice in a zfs partition an mirror that (I wouldn't recommend using svm to mirror on
top of ZFS).

Opensolaris 2008.05 does zfs boot, and Nevada could do zfs boot since Build72 ( http://sol10frominnerspace.blogspot.com/2007/09/setup-zfs-boot-for-build-72.html ) - though bits and pieces were
not working o rmissing (like swap in a zvol). The big roll in was on Build94 ( http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/91-95/ )
so if you get the latest, your chances of running into any issues are lower.

John.
