I want to deploy the Oracle forms.
I have installed Oracle forms 10g Developer site and created forms.
Now, what i need to install to deploy it and use over web
And how to deploy forms.
There is a lot to do, You'd need to install oracle on a server machine, and all related services in order to run forms, please find a full guide here:

Good luck.

Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE). Preferably latest version.
Oracle Application Express (APEX) 18.1 or greater. Preferably latest version.
Oracle WebLogic, Glassfish, TomCat, etc. as long as it supports ORDS
Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) release 3.0.12 or later.
Is 1 and 2 installation same as windows? why do I need 3 and 4?
XE latest version of Database isn't available for Windows yet, but will be soon. For now, you have an 11gR2 version of XE.
I'd wait a bit if you can for the 18c version of XE to drop for Windows.
Installation of XE or the database on Windows is via a GUI installer for both the server and creating a database and it's services. On NIX, you have YUM or RPM solutions, which are generally easier (personal opinion).
APEX installation happens in the database itself, process is the same regardless of your OS.
Tomcat or WLS aren't required, but are there to help manage ORDS (Java EE app). Most customers setup Apache with Tomcat for ORDS and APEX.
ORDS itself makes things inside the database available via HTTPS - one of those things is your APEX applications.
ORDS can also be ran as a standalone process, and this also gives you a built-in webserver (Jetty.)
Finally, if you're using ORDS, you can also build and deliver REST APIs for your database.
P.S. You could also use Docker to make things easier. Joel Kallman shows how here.
I'm using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 64bit, I want to use warehouse builder which is included in it, but the problem is that I can't open Design center, it gives me the following error.
application could not start correctly (0xc0000018)
could anyone help me with this, I can't find a solution
I finally find a solution to this problem, when you download oracle database 64bit, the warehouse builder is included with it, but the design center is working only with 32bit computers, i don't know why oracle would do that, so i downloaded oracle warehouse builder standalone, and configure it following the steps in the oracle official tutorial, and now it works prefectly.
Can anyone please suggest some useful weblinks for downloading for free Oracle forms and Reports 11G.
Also suggest the perquisites for installation.
You first need to create an account in oracle.com
Then you can go to below link that has all the downloadable software by Oracle

I'm trying to set up my environment for developing asp.net vNext + Entity Framework 7 on my OSX.
Apparently, there is no provider for MySQL neither PostgreSQL yet. Thus, what can be used as database for developing on OSX?
What you folks have been doing for develop asp.net vNext on OSX? Or should I set up a Windows VM?
Any suggestion?
I've got even an open issue on Github on this topic.
Cheers
We will have a PostgreSQL and/or MySQL provider for EF7 (either delivered by our team or we'll work with a provider writer to help them build it). Work hasn't started on them yet though.
We haven't been focusing on EF7 on Mono at this stage, so there are likely some rough edges. We do have some folks who have successfully used it to connect to a remote SQL Server though.
To date, no RDBMS is supported on OSX for EF7.
Since (LocalDB)\v11.0 doesn't allow remote access and run on OSX/LNX, I've setup a SQLServer2012 Express and SQLServer 2012 Standard Edition hosted on a local Windows VM to establish a remote DB connection from my Visual Studio Code project.
From Visual Studio Code running on OSX, EF7 fails to successfully connect and interact with those local SQL Servers. In this instance, I was using the ASP.NET 5 Music Store example project: GitHub Source
Oh, and with all the SSL requirements, AZURE SQL Server is out of the question as an option.
Microsoft is heading in the right direction, we'll get there, but you're dealing with bleeding edge EF7 at the moment which is a complete reengineering from EF6.
Complete Oracle n00b here. I have to maintain a legacy form that was developed using Oracle forms 6i and runs on an Oracle 8i backend. Is there any location on the web from where I can still download Oracle forms 6i? If not then whats the best way to run this form on a newer version of oracle?
You won't get Forms 6i free on the web (at least not legally). If you have a current support contract with Oracle, they would be able to supply the base install and patchsets. Don't expect it to work with Windows Vista or 7 though. XP should be okay.
I have heard of Forms 6i working against even 11g databases, though there are character set restrictions.
There is an upgrade path from Forms 6i to the later versions of Forms, which all require the use of an App Server model (rather than the client server model of earlier Forms versions). Forms 6i had the option of either client/server mode or app server mode.
There is a link for download on OTN. Though haven't tried it. (It requires registration )
Regarding new versions, I'm developing in Forms 6i on Windows 7 (x86) and Oracle 11g R2 with no problems for 6 months.
If you want to upgrade to Forms 9 or newer, then you'll have to also install Application Server because it is on 3-tier architecture (client - app server - server) instead of 2-tier on 6i (client - server).
I've transformed one simple but real-world form from 6i to Forms 10 within about hour. So, it's definitely possible. But it was just to check how hard it is and I'm not using that (Forms 10) form, so there could be some issues.
