Oracle SQL Developer Connection [message #492621]

Please clarify me.

I have installed Oracle 11g R1 and have problem in connecting Oracle SQL Developer.

I have given user name: ora; pswd: ora.

In command prompt it works fine if I gave as below.
uid: ora as sysdba
pswd: ora

But when I am trying to connect to Oracle SQL Developer it says TNS listener does not know SID.

So I reinstalled this since i have doubt on myself whether I made mistake first time. Also I have doubt whether the un installation completely clears all the files from Registry. - What should I do to clear all the files from registry when un-installing.

1] What is SID. Is it session ID. If so how to find it.

2] Is there any way to confirm the values such HOST NAME: localhost, PORT: 1521, SID: (By default it has 'xe') which I gave for data base connection are correct.

I tried with SID value:135 (I got this value by executing [Select distinct sid from V$mystat;])

See the attachment & help me on this.

3] Is there any editor for practising sql & pl sql queries. where I can download it.

Thanks,
Ananth

1) It is instance name. Something like the standard ORCL or XE.
2) Just try to connect
3) SQL*Plus, you already have it.

I recommend you to watch the following videos:

>But it won't work.
While likely true, is completely lacking in any useful detail.

My car won't work.
Tell me how to make my car go.

Posting COMPLETE error code & message might provide us a clue as to the problem.

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

From a screenshot you posted: connection type is "Basic". What happens if you choose the "TNS" radio button? I guess that it might offer database aliases contained in TNSNAMES.ORA file. How does TNSNAMES.ORA look like? Is "XE" SID or Service Name?
