I am using Xampp to host a database that I am currently using for a course project. However, I need to share this database with my group members so that they can access and have full permissions of the database on their computers.
What I mean by this is not accessing it through SQL, but actually logging into Xampp on their computer and seeing the database there. Any edtis either of us do will update the others.
How can I go about doing this? Thank you!
I'm not sure if I understand you. What do you mean by "Log in to xampp"?
I guess you want access to phpmyadmin from a remote computer?
All you need is to create sql-users with the right permissions. And if you're behind a router you probably want to port forward port 80 and 443..

Having an issue getting a SQL Server linked server to Oracle working while using a tnsnames.ora file on a network share.
If I copy the tnsnames.ora file to the local server, the linked servers work fine. However, we keep the file on a network share. My sql service accounts have read access to the share. I configure TNS_ADMIN system variable to the network share, the linked servers no longer work. I get ora-12154: could not resolve the connect identifier specified. tnsping and sqlplus work on the server. When I use process monitor to investigate further, I see:
Operation: createFile
Result: ACCESS DENIED
...
Impersonating: domain\MyLogin
This seems like an issue, but is maybe a false positive? If a process is trying to impersonate my account and access a remote resource it will fail since we don't have Kerberos configured to handle double-hop.
SQLPlus and TNSPing work just fine with the network share configured.
I've looked at this post and tried the items that seemed relevant, but had no success.
Additional Info:
sqlnet.ora has this:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
I am able to open a file browser as a service account and open the tnsnames file.
I had this same issue while trying to connect a oracle 10g database via my WCF serivce developed in .NET 4.0 framework.
I was having multiple instances of ORACLE installed in my system. So, I modified the ORACLE_HOME to point to the Oracle 10g and it worked.
Also check the following:
Your service name might have an alias, so Make sure that your listener is listening for the same service name that you are using and check for both local and global entries. Check:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
Check your global_name setting with this SQL:
select * from global_name;
Also, Please make sure you add the Key TNS_ADMIN in the registry and create a enviroinment variable with name TNS_ADMIN
Regedit->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Oracle->RightClick NEW->StringValue and name
Specify the correct path where the oracle is installed for Example
X:oracleproduct32bit10.0.1.0.0NETWORKADMIN
Edit
The below video also looks quite helpful. Please check.

As an Oracle DBA I sometimes have to work with Windows. Maybe you can adopt from my experiences with Oracle on Windows.
Scenario:
An Oracle DB runs under a domain user. I want to restore a database from a backup which is located on a Windows share (sounds like "read" but it obviously isn't). I (or let's say the windows team) did not manage to find the proper way to grant the required permissions.
After many tries, the admins grant "everything" to the entire Oracle server.
Even though the Oracle process runs in a user context we did not find a set of permissions for the user only. Only the permissions for the entire server enabled the restore process to access the data.
From security point of view this is a horrible solution! But maybe it will help you to come closer to a solution (and if so, please share :-)).
I would like to ask, if it is possible to get my database from an offline (not functioning) xampp ?
You see, I have backed up my database earlier but I am not sure whether there are all the data I need now and the DB is pretty big (like 50 tables). I wanted to go for a local implementation of apache, mysql and PHP for my web applications. So I have reinstalled mysql and want to use my own local apache server instead of xampp.
I would like to know where can I find some .sql or something that is stored in xampp that could be otherwise accessible via the phpmyadmin? Is it even possible? I have scrolled through the xampp folder and tried to figure out where it can be, but didnt find anything though.
Thanks for help.
EDIT
I am on a mac running mavericks.
First go to localhost/phpmyadmin and create a database as before you have. Then import your database file through browse.
If your database name exmaple.sql then create database name will be example and import example.sql
I have a problem with Cpanel, or atleast with my database, because i cant see my database trough either cpanel,mysql databases or phpmyadmin but when i tried to run a import sql script it states that the database exists. How can i access my database, i have heard some databasemapping resets on cpanel level but the problem is that i cant access the server on any way(only my site via FTP ofcourse).
It looks like i dont have permission, also my firstly created (head mysql account) is gone, or atleast i cant login with the same credentials as before. Whenever i try to add an mysql user it says completed(user created succesfully) but when looking at all users there aren't any users stated.
Sounds strange doesn't it?
I hope someone knows the answer, i need the database back.
You can use Adminer for importing and exporting data via ftp. Please try.
I created a wpf application which connect to some sql database tables.
When i run this application on my pc every thing works fine,but when i try to run it from other pc on the local network i got an error: "The file ("file name") is on a network path that is not supported for database files".
What is the best way to create a WPF application that have to run from some pc's on the local network that share a common DB?
Have you considered a database server, SQL Server, MySQL, or something similar? If you really want to stick to a file based database (something I wouldn't recommend for security reasons) then you can use something like SQLite.
You will only be able to connect to your server (your pc in this case) instance from another pc if you have 'named pipes' enabled. You can also enable TCP\IP etc. if needs be, but this is probably why you are getting the error.
Named Pipes is not available in the Compact or Free versions of MSSQL.
A database server or pc with a proper version of MSSQL is your best bet.
yepppp solved.
Thanks for your answers.
I did some things that finally solved my problem:
1. Remove the "uid=Tomer, pwd=, and pooling=False" from the connection string.
2. Enable Port 1433(sql port) in the firewall.
3. Enable the TCP/IP and the 'named pipes' as i mentioned before.
Thanks alot for your help.
I am a software developer with devlopment experience in C#, C++ .Net alongwith SQL Server 2005/08, Oracle and mysql. But somehow i dont get jBASE to work at Windows XP SP3 machine.
My goal is setup user accounts, create database on a JBASE ainstallation, authenticate and backup/restore few table via a C++ program. And i dont need to do it with builtin backup/restore tools of jBASE.
I am able to install jBASe 4.1 aling with all its accessories on my WINXPSP3 machine. I was able to run the jSlimserver and TEMENOUS server along with licnesing server. I was able to add the license key as well. But after that what i was supposed to do? i have no idea about it.
The docs and online help doesnt answer a simple question of how to create a database! The google search results from the jbase site all go to the 404 Pages!
Can a jBASE expert guide to the following steps:
Create a jBASE database.
Create users
Authenticate via those users
Connect to database
Create tables and insert data.
Connect via a C++ or C# program to connect to jBASE DB and backup/restore tables.
I know that this is too much too ask but i dont get to get the JBASE system. I cant get it to work on my System somehow. Btw, jdc and jexloree doesnt seem to do anything. I have checked that enironmental variables for jBASE are setup correctly and i have verified them. There are no extra JRE or JDK installations on my system. Besides all that, only licensing client, slim server and temenous server seem to run and listen for connections and no other execuatable ever seems to work.
A simple tutorial to achieve the objective will be highly appreciated. Also if anyone can point out the mistake that i have done or anything i might need to check, then please do so. I will be highly encouraged and obliged.
Thanks
Steve
I hope this will help, if you have not already found a why to do this.
Setup jBase User and Database
Create a Security Group called
'Jbase' or what every you want to
call it
Add a User to this group. I would
recommend adding your administrator
user to it as well
Create a folder in you file system
to save the database information
into
Assign the 'Jbase' Security group to
the folder, and give it "Full"
read/write/execute access.
Creating the database:
Make sure the current users you
are logged on with is the 'Jbase'
security group.
go to the command prompt, and CD
to the folder you create to store
the database
run the jShell 'jsh' from that
location
use CREATE-FILE to create the
files/tables you want to store your
information in.
Inserting data:
There are several ways to enter data. You can use ED, your can your programming environment, or you can create a quick MultiValue/jBase compiled server script to ask for the data and write them to a file/table.
