What is ExpDB

ExpDB (a.k.a. Experience DB) is a software system which consists in a database of experiences, different situations in general, that are thought at a higher abstract level, the purpose being to manage diverse knowledge, in a controlled and organized manner. It allows persisting knowledge by categorizing it and by filtering it, based on its relevance. Thus, ExpDB builds a database meant to include only the most relevant information.

One of my latest tasks was to install an application to a virtual machine, (running on a Vmware server). This application, built on client-server architecture, use an Oracle database so i had to install Oracle 10g and import the specific database for the application.

Installing Oracle and make it work seemed to be an easy task, theoretically, but it proved to be a real problem, practically. I had installed Oracle on VM (virtual machine) just as i would on my computer and at first everything worked just fine; the application was running to it’s normal parameters. The issues appear after restarting Oracle server, the database was not accessible anymore: “ORA-12505: TNS:listener could not resolve SID given in connect descriptor”.
