oracle home user - oracle

I have windows 10 64 bit
I try to re install oracle database 12c
i delete all files .. from directories .. from services. from regedit .. from temp.. from c disk .. from everywhere i remove oracle files all also i run ccleaner but when i try to install oracle database12c again
then in this step this show oraclehomeuser1 already exist :O
i dont why where it is located
any solution please

It seems that as part of the Oracle 12c installation process, you created an 'Oracle Home User' account. This user account is used to run all database services. You haven't done anything wrong here: I've created Oracle Home Users for Oracle 12c databases I've set up.
Evidently as part of your uninstallation you didn't remove this user account.
Remove this user account, using this Super User question if the user doesn't appear in Control Panel, and try again.

press WIN+R , Type lusrmgr.msc, press enter, double click users in left pane, delete the Oracle home user you create during instalatiom –

How to prevent oracle database to start when windows boots up?

I installed Oracle database 11g r2 express in my windows machine. But, whenever I start windows, Oracle gets started and I have to stop the database. How can I prevent it from starting at the start up of windows? i tried to find out it in startup application lists, but it is not there.
I am currently using windows 8.1.
Thank you.
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services.
Look for a Service called OracleServiceXE. It should have "Automatic" Startup Type. Change it to Manual or Disabled by right-clicking it and then choosing Properties.
Works for me on Windows XP and 7. I don't have a Windows 8 machine, but it should be the same steps.
I think the solution provided here is useful:
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/62699/revised-question-how-do-i-prevent-oracle-12c-database-from-starting-on-machine
You have two solutions:
1- In Windows OS's in the run, type services.msc and Enter, from the list of services find OracleService and right click and choose Properties. In the General tab in the Startup, Type section choose Manual and click OK and exit. From now on your database doesn't start automatically by your machine's start, but whenever you want to start it you have to go to services.msc and start it manually. You can also do this from Windows Task Manager(from Services tab).
2- Let the Startup Type to be automatic in "services.msc". Open the Windows command prompt (Admin) and type this statement (instead of ORCL use your SID name).
oradim -edit -sid ORCL -startmode manual
Now your database is in a state that idiomatically called idle. You can start your database by logging to SQL*Plus with sysdba privilege and then type startup command.
In Oracle 12c or higher just go to Windows Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE > KEY_OraDB19Home1 > ORA_ < SID > _AUTOSTART
Change the parameter from TRUE to FALSE

Permission denied when trying to import a CSV file from PGAdmin

I'm using PGAdmin 1.14.3.
When I try to execute an import command:
COPY grad(country_code, postal_code, place_name, admin_name1, admin_code1, admin_name2, admin_code2, admin_name3, admin_code3, latitude, longitude, accuracy)
FROM 'C:\\Users\\denis\\Desktop\\BP2Project\\USA\\US.txt';
I get a
ERROR: could not open file
"C:\Users\denis\Desktop\BP2Project\USA\US.txt" for reading:
Permission denied SQL state: 42501
I did look up other similar questions and none of them solved my issue.
I logged in as user "postgres" who is the superuser. I don't see why I'm missing permissions. I'm on Windows 7.
The permissions article mentioned in the answer by Houari and Flimzy is a good reference material, but a direct answer (the quick fix I used) is:
Right click the folder containing the data file(s) that permission was denied to and then click Properties.
In the Folder's Properties window, select the Security tab.
Click the Edit button.
In the "Permissions for the folder" window that opened, click the Add... button.
Type Everyone into the "Enter the object names to select" text area box.
Click OK and the window will close.
Verify that the default Read & Execute permissions were set to Allow via the check checkbox in the previous window.
As JLB notes, Write permission is needed if dumping from PostgreSQL, opposed to copying into it.
Click OK and the window will close.
Click the Apply button in the Folder Properties window.
Now you can run the SQL COPY statement that needs to access those files.
Once done, return to the Folder's Properties window.
Click the Edit button.
Select the Everyone entry in the "Group or user names:" field.
Click the Remove button.
Click OK on the remaining open windows.
The permissions have now been returned to what they were.
The user Postgres must have read access on the file from which you are about to copy.
Look at this article to see how to modify files' security access on Windows.
Ok, this is how got COPY command working,to export a table to CSV, step by step.
Pls note that I am using pgAdmin 111.
Create the target folder you want to export a table to. E.g C:\myExports
Set a read/write permission on this folder following the steps below :
Right click the folder containing the data file(s) that permission was denied >to and then click Properties.
In the Folder's Properties window, select the Security tab.
Click the Edit button.
In the "Permissions for the folder" window that opened, click the Add... button.
Type Everyone into the "Enter the object names to select" text area box.
Click OK and the window will close.
Verify that the default Read & Execute permissions were set to Allow via the >check checkbox in the previous window.
Click OK and the window will close.
Click the Apply button in the Folder Properties window.
This is the tricky part, inside myExports folder create a blank CSV file with your desired name.E.g employee.csv
Then run the Copy command like this :
copy employee to 'C:\myExports\employee.csv' delimiter ',' csv;
employee is the table name in this example..
Hope this helps.
If you don't want to give permissions to Everyone, you can add permissions to the account that started the service. In the Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services, copy the account name in the 'Log On' tab. (On my system the account is called 'Network Service'.) Then share the folder with the CSV-file with this user as shown in the answer above.
To solve this problem you must give permission to the CSV file because that CSV file present in a COPY command are read directly by the server, but not client application. So to make this file accessible to a server we must give full read-write permission so that Postgresql user can read and write on that file.
Reference: article showing step by step procedure.
I just ran into this error and even after adding postgres to permissions on the file folder and the file itself, it still didn't work. So, I put the file in a public folder. On Windows this was the path: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\census.csv." It worked!
Responses to this problem on different threads go something like this
1. "Tell me exactly what command you used"
2. "Make sure you have right permissions"
3. "Just use /copy"
I just tried giving permissions to Everyone on the cvs file I am trying to copy from, and it is still giving me the permission denied error. I think this functionality is broken and has been broken for multiple consecutive releases over multiple consecutive versions of Windows.
for me and I've just spent some long hours on this.
I have a central db residing on a HP box running 14.04 postgresql-9.5 pgAdmin3 postgis-2.2, shares are made through a tweeked Samba share. My clients are using a mixture of windows 10.1, 7, 8.1 and I have one ubuntu 14.04 desktop.
I'm working with large tables updating records and normalising data and have built the routines around SQL copy statements from CSV files which were made from the core COPY public.table_1 TO (the share folder I'd set up in Samba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndAYZ0DJ-U4) '/srv/samba/share/[filename].csv'
I can then update the database once the tables have been amended with COPY table_1 from '/srv/samba/share/test.csv' USING DELIMITERS ',' WITH NULL AS '' CSV HEADER; from any of my clients.
The key as far as I have been able to determine is that the clients doing the updating must be superusers, also everything must tie up in terms of users as there are 4 servers working together here Postgresql, Samba, UNIX and WINS
All of my users are registered on each of the servers with the same username and password homogeneity is the main factor.
I had tried for a long time moving things about and trying various naming conventions but in the end it was http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CFF47E56EA077241B1FFF390344B5FC10ACB1C0C#webmail.begavalley.nsw.gov.au that sorted me out it was like a big switch clicking in. chown 777 on your shares and group management was an important learning curve but., the hours I've spent on this will reap rewards down the line... Loving Ubuntu loving life and loving the spirit of open source but that just might be sleep deprivation kicking in... IT WORKS
I am trying to execute SQL commands directly from a file in psql 14, and landed the same error.
The reason is that "postgres" user is different from the 'admin' or the main user of the operating-system. So, this main user denies "postgres" to access files from its file system.
Although there is a way to bypass it.
Windows lets any user access the files in 'C:\Users\Public' and Linux distros allow files in '/tmp' folder to do the same.
So, whatever files you are trying to access from postgres' terminal, keep the files in
'C:\Users\Public' for Windows
'/tmp' in Ubuntu
Read from the orginal source of this answer
use \copy command from psql instead with this config:
sudo psql -U postgres -d <your-db> -c "\copy <your-query-or-table> TO '<pat-to-save-file>' WITH (FORMAT CSV)"

Oracle ODBC : Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed

I have message Oracle ODBC : Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed
when try to open oracle connection in excel.
I'm working in virtual machine via citrix.
Could you please give tips why it is appear and how avoid problem ?
The problem appears to be a permission issue during the installation of both Oracle 9i and 10G.
If you navigate Oracle home you will find that the directory has different permissions then the root of the tree. In the case of 10G the path is C:Oracleproduct10.1.0Client_1. Open the properties for the Client_X directory, and you will see that "Authenticated Users" should have Read and Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read. To fix the problem, do the following....
-Select Authenticated Users
-Uncheck Read and Execute
-Press Apply
-Check Read and Execute
-Press Apply
One item that can cause this error is not having the ORACLE_HOME bin directory in your Windows OS path.
Open a command prompt and type either PATH or SET to see if the directory is included. Adjust as required.
Do the following to resolve the issue:
Select Administration Tools , Local Security Setting and Local Policy.
Then select "User Rights Assignment"
Double click on "Create Global Objects"
Select Add User or Group.
Make sure Object Types Group Box is checked.
Select Locations and highlight the name of the server you are working on (Not the Domain).
Enter "Remote Desktop Users" or "Everyone" (without the quotes) into the Object Names Box.
Select OK.
Add the same users to the group "Power User".
If this does not work, after step 8 a reboot may be required.

Unable to create database using DBCA

I have installed Oracle 11g on Windows 7 successfully. But, when I am creating a database using DBCA, it says init.ora (access denied), at the last step, and stops. I logged into the system using admin.
I have manually changed the settings of that directory where the DB file is created. But have had no success. Does anyone have a solution?
This is in Oracle 12c running on my Windows 10 PC.
Right click on the "CMD" before opening the command prompt and
Click on "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" so the command prompt opened with Full Administrator privileges
Call the "DBCA" assist by typing DBCA in this command window
The database creator assistant opens, and everything after this step goes very well.
Sounds like you haven't followed the installation guide. A typical error if you have not added the user to the domain group.
I jumped into the same issue today. The issue will keeping come out no matter you're logged in as admin or not (in most cases, we logged in as admin, same as me).
I get pass the issue as : press Windows key to open Start Menu, type in 'dbca', when dbca.bat shows up in Programs, right click and select 'Run as administrator', everything goes fine now !

Installing PostgreSQL on Windows

I'm in a bit of a mess here. I installed PostgreSQL on my Vista computer a couple of days ago but then when asked to enter the password for the postgre user account I couldn't remember it (allegedly I was asked during setup but I don't remember that).
Anyway, so I uninstalled Pg with the intention of reinstalling it, removed the user account, it's /Users/ directory and it's special privelleges ("Advanced user profile properties") but when I come to install Pg it seems to think the account still exists as when I supply a password during setup it says that it is not the correct password - meaning that the account still exists somewhere.
Is there anyway I can recover this?
Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. There under "Local Users and Groups" you can see all users created for your system. Remove "postgres" and reinstall PostgreSQL.
Open a command prompt with the administrator rights.
i.e. Right click on command prompt icon -> Run as Administrator
Use the following command to change the password:
!important: CASE and SHOULD BE RUNNING AS ADMINISTRATOR
NET USER postgres <NEW_PASSWORD>
On Vista you can go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage Another Accounts
then select user postgres, change the password if you forget your last password.
