what proof do you have that any Oracle DB is actually is installed & available?

Which Edition of Windows 7 is on the PC?

You have to show what you did and got otherwise we can't help.
So copy and paste your DOS session including the result of "SET".

What is your Windows version? Oracle can't run on any MS Windows Home edition.
Which database, exactly, did you install? How did the installation process end (with an error - if so, which one?, or successfully?). Which "development tools" did you install?

Maybe you should ask your teacher for details and instructions what you use in school so that you could create the same environment at home.

well, it will run: I run 11.2.0.3 on my 32bit Vista Home Premium no problem. I used to run 10.x on XP home something, too. Not supported, of course.

First of all, I am amazed at such prompt responses from the users on this forum. Second, forgive my ignorance, I didn't mention everything in my first post.Here is a bit more detail:


    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
    I installed Oracle11g Express edition.
    I didn't install anything else other than this. So, I don't know about database. I just wanted to use the pre-existing tables of employees to view those tables and view different queries to view those existing tables. I thought, I could access those tables by loging in with scott/tiger

    Lucky me, I didn't have to go through such a combination (Windows Home + Oracle). However, I remember Barbara Boehmer shared her experience, here.

    Like you, I tried to install it on Windows Home, as I had done with earlier versions of Oracle and Windows, enabling most features, but it didn't work. I ended up stopping all the Oracle services, running the uninstall twice, re-starting the computer, checking for leftover pieces in the registry, then upgrading to Windows professional and starting over with the Oracle installation process.

    As of SCOTT schema on 11g XE: I *think* that there's no SCOTT there any more. Sample schema is now HR which, of course, doesn't mean that you can't create it.

    I didn't know that, thank you! (I have my own script)

    So, it isn't difficult to create all Scott's objects at all, but Scott - as a user - is not precreated in 11g XE.

    I also have mine as I have no TEMP and USERS tablespaces, I don't want to grant RESOURCE to SCOTT and the script is wrong for my NLS settings:
    INSERT INTO EMP VALUES (7788,'SCOTT','ANALYST',7566,to_date('13-JUL-87')-85,3000,NULL,20);

    Every release I remember (I have never installed XE) has come with $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlsampl.sql. The version I have right now (11.2.0.3, Win32) creates SCOTT after dropping him (it drops a couple of other people, too) and will then create his objects in the default permanent tablespace, with a format for the date strings. But it ain't perfect: it grants him CONNECT, RESOURCE, and most bizarrely UNLIMITED TABLESPACE.
    I run that script every day.

    On my system (Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit) on Windows 7 Professional, the script that creates and populates the emp and dept and other tables is <oracle_home>/sqlplus/demo/demobld.sql. It is on this Windows 7 system that I was unable to complete the installation without upgrading to Windows 7 Professional.
