Live online Oracle Database to test data source connection












1















I am working on C# windows application in which I have used Data link properties to allow the user to connect to variety of Data Source. I want to test Data Source connection to Oracle Database. The problem is we do not have Oracle installed in our company.



Are there any online live Oracle Database to which I can connect and test connection to Oracle Data source.

          I don't know of any online Oracle database which would let you do something like that; I doubt that owners will allow such an action.



          I'd suggest you to download & install Oracle 11g XE; it is a small footprint database, free to use (you won't have to pay anything) and will let you test what you're testing.



          Download link: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/express-edition/downloads/xe-prior-releases-5172097.html



          Installation is simple; more or less a few NEXT clicks; just pay attention to question installer asks (usernames & passwords, ports).

          • Okay. I downloaded and installed Oracle 11g XE This opens a web page - get started "localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4950:2:8107036319133702::NO" Now how can I create database and test the connection. Actually I have never worked with Oracle before.

          • Database is already created. Its name is, probably, "XE". At the operating system command prompt, run tnsping xe and you should get response. In order to connect to the database, use SQL*Plus - at the command prompt (again), try sqlplus sys/its_password@xe as sysdba. As of the page you got - it runs Apex (development tool); if you aren't interested in it, don't use it.
