Get started Oracle DB Express for development

-

Oracle database is a Relational database developed by Oracle, Oracle DB provides high performance with failure recovery features, easy to manage the database, and has a good reputation for supporting Enterprise level applications.

For you database admin or software developer that are newly using Oracle database, you can follow this simple get started guide. Follow each one of the instructions from installation to launch and create a new database table.

Download and install Oracle DB

Download the oracle database express edition from the following link : https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/xe-downloads.html

When the installation process is running, then you should set the default password that you will use for login.

Login using SqlPlus

Open terminal or command prompt and type "sqlplus”.

Then enter the username SYSTEM and password you choose on the installation step earlier.

Create new user

Before the SYSTEM user can create new user, you have to execute this command:

alter session set "_ORACLE_SCRIPT"=true; 

Then begin to step to create a new user with the following commands:

CREATE USER adam IDENTIFIED BY “Password123”;

Specify your new username and password that will be used to login.

Grant user login

grant create session to adam;

Grant user all privileges

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO adam;

Add user an unlimited quota

alter user adam quota unlimited on users;

Try login using Navicat

You can use Navicat GUI database management to manage your Oracle database. The login information you can specify is something like this.


Try to create table

We then create an SQL query to create a table named “user” with some columns. Following are the Create table query.

CREATE TABLE "ADAM"."USER" (
  "ID" NUMBER GENERATED by default on null as IDENTITY,
  "NAME" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE) ,
  "EMAIL" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE) ,
  "REGISTRATION_DATE" TIMESTAMP(6) ,
  PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
);

And here’s the table representation viewed on table design in the GUI program.


JDBC Connection

If you are developing a Java application using JDBC, you may use this JDBC URL connection:

jdbc:oracle://localhost:1521/XE

Or if you are using R2DBC it is you just need to change JDBC to R2DBC like the following:

r2dbc:oracle://localhost:1521/XE

It’s not that much of a big difference if you are already familiar with other database systems like Postgres or MySQL. Only some concepts that sometimes differ from one database system to another. But actually there’s general SQL queries that you can use and apply to cross database systems, just a little bit tuning sometimes.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
