Ubuntu has become a favourite desktop Linux, and is now supported by Oracle, including a convenient XE installation. Parallels, VirtualBox, Mac OS and every flavour of Linux. And Windows machines cost much less than Macs, which is also a consideration for the many students.Since I wrote this article in 2007 there have been new releases of Oracle (including 10g Express Edition for Linux), " I feel really weird that it is so difficult for Mac users."Įducation has always favoured Windows OS because it was most likely to be the OS students knew from home, because it was - and is - the prevailing desktop OS. Why not? Oracle provide full fledged images for Oracle VirtualBox, although not Oracle XE 11g. So now that Apple uses Intel chips too why not port XE to MacOS? Because everybody uses VMs these days. (This matters because Oracle enforces one instance of XE per machine). There's never been an official explanation of this my personal theory says it's to do with chip architecture as XE was available for x86 - Windows, Linux - and Mac used PowerPC. XE is not and never has been available on Mac. "The software requirement in my lab class is Oracle XE on Windows" You need to install Oracle database server to create a database. It's the difference between a browser and the internet. It is not a database nor can it create one. Instant Client is software for connecting to a database. It points to a database which doesn't exist. I feel really weird that it is so difficult for Mac users. The software requirement in my lab class is Oracle XE on Windows, but I don't feel like to run VM on my Mac, and I saw what they did was just login the user that created when they installed XE, then create, connect, start the txt file to build a database, and all done.
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521) SQL> conn TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist I successfully installed instant client for Mac, and now can use sqlplus /nolog in the terminal, but I can't log in any database because I don't have any except for some txt files, nor can I create any user.Īfter a lot of search, I have tried these codes to create a new user, however, none of them can do.
