I am trying to learn Oracle. A book said you kind of need Forms Developer in order to play around with PL/SQL.
I recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 on my NT machine. I have connected to it with SQL Plus and it seems to work with basic SQL commands. When I try to hit it with a web browser, the Apache page comes up so it seems the web listener is working okay.
next I tried to download and install Forms Developer 6i. Well, it didn't want to let me install it into the same Oracle Home as my database. It gives an error that says
"the location is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle 817 Production'. It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'."
I do not understand what that means or whether that is a problem or not. I went ahead and installed it in a different home.
At some point during the installation a Windows message came up and it said there was "an internal error and a window I had open was closed," didn't say what window, but this did not seem to faze the Developer installer, which kept chugging away.
Any info would be appreciated. I just want to see if this thing is installed properly, and want to see the test form come up.
Thanks
