Oracle Forms Developer 6i with Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Allen SandiegoMay 21 2007 — edited Mar 28 2008
hi,

i'm new with oracle and i want to know if this is possible. and if so, how can i find the name of the database because when i run SQL Plus 8.0 which is included in the oracle forms developer tool, it asks me for a username, password and host string and i have no clue on what to put for the host string.

any help will be appreciated... thanks.

i've checked the tnsnames.ora.. this is what it has...

Beq-local.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = beq.world)
(PROTOCOL = BEQ)
(PROGRAM = oracle73)
(ARGV0 = oracle73ORCL)
(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
)
)
Tcp-loopback.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = 127.0.0.1 )
(Port = 1521)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
)
)

etc...


i've used orcl, beq-local as my host strings and i get "TNS:could not resolved service name."


please help.
