I am trying to dowload oracle database express edition in my macbook. In the download options in Oracle website, I only see the versions for windows and Linux. Does that mean that there's no version for mac or OS?
Oracle Xe For Mac Download
The first step to getting Oracle on your Mac is to download a program called VirtualBox. This program allows you to run virtual machines, which are self-contained operating systems. It will let you run a Windows or Linux operating system inside your Mac.
Hello Dipika, i encountered this error as well. I am running 19c. When you start your oracle database on the virtual machine, it gives you some database information. Please check to see what those credentials are, they may be different from what was used above. Check specifically for these:
What is throwing me off is your example to test using SQL and using the hr username and oracle password, is this simply a sample database? How do I set up my own database on my Mac to do my coursework?
Would it be possible to create a step by step guide on installing oracle directly on ubuntu (since running on vm is a bit slow if your machine is a bit obsolete)? There are a few articles on the internet but I failed each time I tried implementing the process.
The fastest way to get going with Oracle APEX is to request a free workspace hosted on apex.oracle.com. It takes just a few moments to sign up and within minutes you'll have your workspace ready to start building your first app.
It's easy to download and install APEX into other Oracle Cloud services including Database Cloud Service and Exadata Cloud Service. You can even install into an Oracle Cloud VM. Simply follow the steps described in the Oracle APEX Installation Guide.
Run APEX in a preconfigured Oracle VM VirtualBox using Database Application Development Virtual Appliance. A single download gives developers a free VM with Oracle Database, Oracle REST Data Services, and APEX ready to run.
I have been trying to download Oracle Database 11g release 2 for mac os but in the given link by oracle I can only see Linux x86 and Linux x86-64. Is this ok to use this Linux file for installing oracle database in mac
Sir, i tried my best to install oracle 10g on mac os x 10.7.3 LION, but at max i can install the software only, i have a database installed on vm-ware fusion on win-7. So, is there any way to copy that database from there, and yes i tried to create database manually, but when creating password file for sys i am getting segmentation fault-11, and i am unable to start sqlplus.. Same error of segmentation fault.any solution will be highly appreciated.Thank you sir.
Sir, thanks for your support, finally i got what i wanted. I have installed win-xp on vmware fusion, and then oracle database on xp. Now i can work on SQLDeveloper, eclipse java IDE, isql*plus on mac only.
Remember the 39 bus scenario I mentioned above. A couple of weeks ago the Oracle 18c XE Docker image was released. This is a full installation of the database and all you need to do is to download it and run it. Nothing else is required. Check out my previous post on this.
Add Oracle 21, 19, 18, 12 or 11.2 client libraries to your operating systemlibrary search path such as PATH on Windows or LD_LIBRARY_PATH onLinux. On macOS use init_oracle_client() in yourapplication to pass the Oracle Client directory name, seeUsing cx_Oracle.init_oracle_client() to set the Oracle Client directory. This is also usable on Windows.
This will download and install a pre-compiled binary if one isavailable for yourarchitecture. If a pre-compiled binary is not available, the sourcewill be downloaded, compiled, and the resulting binary installed.Compiling cx_Oracle requires the Python.h header file. If you areusing the default python package, this file is in the python-develpackage or equivalent.
If you use optional Oracle configuration files such as tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora or oraaccess.xml with Instant Client, then put the filesin an accessible directory, for example in/opt/oracle/your_config_dir. Then use:
Alternatively, put the files in the network/admin subdirectory of InstantClient, for example in /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_1/network/admin.This is the default Oracle configuration directory for executables linkedwith this Instant Client.
Alternatively, put the files in the network/admin subdirectory of InstantClient, for example in /usr/lib/oracle/21/client64/lib/network/admin.This is the default Oracle configuration directory for executables linkedwith this Instant Client.

For other installation options such as installing through a proxy, seeinstructions above. Make sure the Oracle Client libraries are in the systemlibrary search path because cx_Oracle 7 does not support thecx_Oracle.init_oracle_client() method and does not support loading theOracle Client libraries from the directory containing the cx_Oracle modulebinary.
On Windows, if you are not usinginit_oracle_client(), then restart your command promptand use set PATH to check the environment variable has the correctOracle Client listed before any other Oracle directories.
On macOS, make sure you are not using the bundled Python (use Homebrew or Python.org instead). If you are not usinginit_oracle_client(), then put the Oracle InstantClient libraries in /lib or /usr/local/lib.
With the RPM file downloaded, you can install the Oracle prerequisites and software using the following command as the "root" user. It automatically pulls down all dependencies, including the "oracle-database-preinstall-18c" package. If you do this the "oracle" user doesn't have a home directory created, so I install the preinstall package first, so the "oracle" user is as I expect it. The additional command is included below, but commented out.
By default, python-oracledb connects directly to Oracle Database. This letsit be used when Oracle Client libraries are not available (such Apple M1 orAlpine Linux), or where the client libraries are not easily installable (suchas some cloud environments). Note not all environments are tested.
A simple connection to the database requires an OracleDatabase user name and password and a databaseconnection string. Set the environment variables to yourvalues. For python-oracledb, the connection string is commonly of the formathostname/servicename, using the host name where the database is runningand the Oracle Database service name of the database instance. The databasecan be on-premises or in the Cloud. It should be version 12.1 or later. Thepython-oracledb driver does not include a database.
When python-oracledb is used in the default Thin mode, it connects directly tothe Oracle Database and does not require Oracle Client libraries. Connectionsin this mode can be made to Oracle Database 12.1 or later.
To use the Thick mode features of python-oracledb,additional Oracle Client libraries must be installed, as detailed in thesubsequent sections. Connections in this mode can be made to OracleDatabase 9.2, or later, depending on the Oracle Client library version.
The python-oracledb attribute Connection.thin can be used to see whatmode a connection is in. In the Thick mode, the functionoracledb.clientversion() can be used to determine which Oracle Clientversion is in use. The attribute Connection.version can be used todetermine which Oracle Database version a connection is accessing. These canthen be used to adjust the application behavior accordingly. Any attempt touse Oracle features that are not supported by a particular mode or clientlibrary/database combination will result in runtime errors.
The Python cryptography package. This package is automatically installed as adependency of python-oracledb. It is strongly recommended that you keep thecryptography package up to date whenever new versions are released. If thecryptography package is not available, you can still install python-oracledbbut can only use it in Thick mode, see Installing python-oracledb without the Cryptography Package.
This will download and install a pre-compiled binary from PyPI if one is available for yourarchitecture. Otherwise, the source will be downloaded, compiled, and theresulting binary installed. Compiling python-oracledb requires thePython.h header file. If you are using the default python package,this file is in the python-devel package or equivalent.
By default, python-oracledb runs in a Thin mode which connects directly toOracle Database so no further installation steps are required. However, to useadditional features available in Thick mode you needOracle Client libraries installed. Oracle Client versions 21, 19, 18, 12 and11.2 are supported.
If you use optional Oracle configuration files such as tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora, or oraaccess.xml with Instant Client, then put the filesin an accessible directory, for example in/opt/oracle/your_config_dir. Then use:
Alternatively, put the files in the network/admin subdirectory of InstantClient, for example in /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_6/network/admin.This is the default Oracle configuration directory for executables linkedwith this Instant Client. 2ff7e9595c
