Oracle Desktop

We have arrived at the Oracle Desktop.

This is a good place to introduce Drive Mapping.

What is Drive Mapping?

Drive mapping is the procedure of making the drives on the Oracle network server appear as logical drives on the Citrix server/your desktop.

The user can access files on the Oracle server as if they were drives on the Citrix server’s local drive.

Though any letter may be used for your drive map, in this presentation will use drive h:\

Drive Mapping From“My Computer”

On the Oracle Desktop right click on “My Computer.”

Select “Map Network Drive.”

Enter “H:” or the drive letter of your choice.

Getting Started With SQL:Static Class

Double on the SQL icon on the Oracle Desktop and you will be prompted for your “User Name,” “Password” and “Host String.”

The “Host String” remote.world refers to the database instance on the Class3 server.

Getting Started With SQL:Dynamic Class

From the “User Name and Password” prompt enter the following into the “User Name:” slot:

sys/password@remoteXXXXX.world as sysdba

Then press the “OK” button and you logged in.

Dynamic logins are always sys/(oracle password), (username: remoteXXXXX.world) as sysdba as the host string, where XXXXX being the server and instance.

SQL*Plus

SQL*Plus is up and ready to go

Note that if you leave SQL*Plus idle you may be logged off in about 2 minutes.

SQL*Plus & Spooling Your Work

Once the network connection is drive mapped to the appropriate server we access its drives through the “My Computer” icon and can also “spool” SQL*Plus work there.
