.
\nThe cloud has been annouced, I want to try.
\nFrom the cloud.oracle.com/database website, there is Trial only for the ‘Database Schema Service’ so I asked fot it, received an e-mail with connection info and it works:
\n
\n
Good. The password was temporary, so I have to change it, and set answers to 3 within 4 questions in case I forgot my password.
\nJava error: my user does not exist:
\n![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud002.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud002.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud002.JPG\\"")
Ok, I was too quick after receiving the e-mail… Let’s wait 5 minutes and come back:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud003.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud003.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud003.JPG\\"")
\n
What ? Same as old password ?
\nlet’s try another one:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud004.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud004.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud004.JPG\\"")
\n
Ok. Now I understand. When my user did not exist, the passward has been changed anway… Good I remember it.
\nI put the first password I tried as old password:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud005.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud005.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud005.JPG\\"")
Ok. But I know my previous passord, let’s keep it.
\nI come back to the url and connect:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud006.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud006.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud006.JPG\\"")
\n
It seems that I don’t remember it… let’s go through the ‘Forgot Passord’ screen. I entered my mother’s maiden name, may pet name, my city of birth… well all thost top secret information that everybody has on his Facebook first page 😉
\nAnd enter a new password:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud007.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud007.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud007.JPG\\"")
Bad luck again…
\nGoing back to the e-mail I see something strange: there is two spaces in front of my username:
\n\n
![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud007b.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud007b.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud007b.JPG\\"")
Ok, I try everything: my username with and without space in front, the 3 passwords I tried to change previously… same error.
\nLet’s start from the begining. Click on the first url in the mail.
\nBingo. I don’t know how but I’m logged. Here is the first screen of by first database in the cloud:
\n![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud008.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud008.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud008.JPG\\"")
\n
Wait a minute… is this new ? An online APEX workspace that is available for years is now ‘The’ Oracle Cloud Database Schema Service available as a 30-days trial?
\nWithout any exitation, I’ll do my first Hello world in a database in the Cloud:
\n![\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud009.JPG\"](\"http://dbi-services.com/blog/images/easyblog_images/139/CaptureCloud009.JPG\" "\\"b2ap3_thumbnail_CaptureCloud009.JPG\\"")
I hope we will be able to get a trial account for the ‘real’ Database as a Service in the Cloud. I always loved to be able to download and try Oracle products for free. I don’t think we are ready to pay to test it. Prices here.
