I'm trying to connect to Oracle SQL Developer locally on my Mac. How exactly is this done? I've looked all over the network, and can't find anything helpful.
The only thing I did is installing the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer.
I have an assignment due tomorrow and cannot work from labs today.

Are you on the same network that the database server is on?benRollag– benRollag2013年02月25日 20:06:26 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2013 at 20:06

hmmm, actually I want to have the database on my machine. So, I can use it locally with no internet . This is my first time installing Oracle on my machine instead of using the labs.Sobiaholic– Sobiaholic2013年02月25日 20:29:48 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2013 at 20:29

1I don't think they don't have Oracle 11G for os-x. You may need to use a virtual machine.benRollag– benRollag2013年02月25日 20:59:12 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2013 at 20:59

2There hasn't been a server version of Oracle available for Mac OS X for some time now. Sorry. You'll have to use a Linux virtual machine. Best that you close this question. Apologies.Philᵀᴹ– Philᵀᴹ2013年02月25日 22:16:33 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2013 at 22:16

SQL Developer doesn't come with an Oracle database, it is a client application. You can't "connect to SQL Developer", you use SQL Developer to connect to an existing database.
There are no supported editions of Oracle database for Mac OS X at this time, the latest that was available was 10gR2. You'll need to set one up in a VM on your machine (Windows or Linux, using the Oracle XE edition seems like it would fit your need), or see if you can somehow connect to your lab databases (possibly via a VPN to your school if they have that available).

I run into the same problem, but in different environment. How can I create an oracle database server?Adi Prasetyo– Adi Prasetyo2023年06月13日 12:21:33 +00:00Commented Jun 13, 2023 at 12:21
