Hey Guys,
Totally a newbie to Orace Forms, just downloaded the Forms Builder and started playing around trying to build my first form .... and when i am trying to create a data block and connect to a DB I have to enter a username, password and the database name.
So my question is what would those 3 things be? I mean do I have to have an Oracle DB installed separately in order for my forms to connect to the DB???
if So, I tried downloading Oracle XE, and installed it on my machine, now this DB comes with a default database username/password for the HR schema. So I try using that as my username/password and in the Database name I am putting XE, which is the name of the database. But this is what it complains:
"Could not resolve the connection identifier specified"
So not pretty sure how can I connect the Forms Builder to my Oracle DB or wheter I am doing the right thing here ...
ANy help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Sam

It appears that Developer doesn't see your database.
To be able to connect to it, you'd have to configure the network - check the Network Configuration Assistant. It *should* be able to help you setup the correct parameters.
A shortcut solution which might work would be this: go to \network\admin directory of your XE database. Take TNSNAMES.ORA, SQLNET.ORA and LISTENER.ORA and copy them into the \network\admin directory of Oracle Developer.
Restart the Developer and enter credentials you mentioned earlier.
