System messages are showing repeated

Dec 25 14:42:02 ROLANDs-MacBook-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd (com.mysql.mysqld): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

every one of two seconds. I think this is being started by com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld. Using 'sudo launchctl remove' on both of these doesn't seem to work as after a restart they're both back, so there must be something else happening (Murphy Corollary: before you can do anything, there's something else you have to do first). I have MySQL mysql-5.7.25-macos10.14-x86_64 loaded on the my Macbook Pro and in System Preferences it's being started on bootup. How do I fix this issue ... I'd like to upgrade, but don't want to take this problem forward with the upgrade. Thanks! Roland

I recently upgraded macOS to Big Sur and now I can't open SQLDeveloper.app. I am getting this message: > SQLDeveloper.app can’t be opened because the identity of the developer > cannot be confirmed With macOS Catalina it was working perfectly. A similar question was discussed here https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/177168/sqldeveloper-app-can-t-be-opened-because-the-identity-of-the-developer-cannot . I already followed the approach mentioned there, but that did not solve my problem. Any pointer towards the solution would be highly appreciated.

How do I install OpenJDK 8 on High Sierra or newer macOS? It looks like support for the Java Oracle JDK version 8 will be deprecated after January 2019 *Java SE Overview* Additionally, it looks like publishing and distributing Docker containers with the Oracle Java JDK may not be legal *Running Java on Docker*

I have SQL Developer from Oracle installed. It seems to be frozen at the moment and I can't force quit it. I can't open it because of this and hence can't use it too I don't want to shut down my Mac every time so I want to kill it using kill -9 but I don't know its name nor pid so I'm clueless. How do I kill it?

I tried to install the x64 version of jdk (from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk13-downloads-5672538.html) , however, Apple refused to install it saying that the software needs to be updated. Since this is the latest version of JDK, what should I do in order to install java without waiting for the next update from Oracle?

Prior to installing Catalina, I updated Oracle VM to version 6.1.16. Now after successful OS upgrade my Windows 10 VM is not working.

During routine maintenance (running DiskUtil), I received the error message below: warning: inode_val: object (oid 0x3024a71c3): invalid bsd_flags (0x10) I did not notice any issues with performance and I am still able to boot the machine. I'm currently in Safe Mode and creating a new Boot Drive so that I may run Drive Genius; however, can anyone kindly advise on how this error may have occurred and/or best practice on how to address it? I do have a very recent Time Machine backup to which I can revert, but I'm not sure what caused the issue and if this will occur again (or escalate from this point).

I have the Oracle Instantclient installed (PHP needs it for the oci extension to work), the install directory is /opt/instantclient_19_3 and every time I log in after a reboot I get the following error messages which read translate to >libclntsh.dylib.18.1 cannot be opened because the developer can't be verified. libclntshcore.dylib.19.1 cannot be opened because the developer can't be verified I had the same errors popup when using Terminal and Hyper but since I've allowed those apps full disk access everything works fine. Still, after logging in I get both error messages, so I assume something needs permissions but I can't figure it out. Any hints?

Can someone tell me the proper syntax for setting an environment variable that points to a smb volume directory? What I have tried so far: TNS_ADMIN=/Volumes/abc TNS_ADMIN=smb://servername/abc TNS_ADMIN=/servername/abc Additional info, I have Oracle InstantClient installed and I'm trying to use SQLPlus. Except, the connection file I need is located in the shared directory located in the aforementioned smb volume. I'm trying to set the environment variable (TNS_ADMIN) such that it points Oracle to look at the smb volume, where the file is located. Nothing appears to work. Looking for guidance on what the proper syntax should be on setting an environment variable that points to a smb volume. Hope that makes sense.

After I upgraded my OS to El Capitan (which comes with SIP), I am getting error in oci_connect() >Warning: oci_connect(): OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries If I disable the SIP, everything works fine again. But I understand keeping SIP disabled is not good for security. So I was looking for a solution to keep the SIP enabled and make oci_connect() work like before. I am using XAMPP server for PHP and have oci8 for oci_connect. I had a post on SO for this, where couldn't find any help yet : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35356318/xampp-in-os-x-el-capitan-oci-connect-ocienvnlscreate-failed

Let me start by saying I'm not traditionally a Mac user. I'm still trying to transition from Gentoo, where compiling everything from source was the default state, and the system wasn't actively trying to prevent me from doing "dangerous" things. I have a new machine running 10.11. I've gotten sqlplus 11.2.0.4 running, and am able to connect to a remote Oracle server with it. I now want to use DBD::Oracle to connect in a Perl script. I was able to get DBD::Oracle to compile/install by manually passing a version to Makefile.pl rather than using CPAN (or, more specifically, cpanm): perl Makefile.pl -V 11.2 make make install However, when I run the script using the default Perl (5.18.2 located at /usr/bin/perl), I get an error: ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_HOME (Linux) env var or PATH (Windows) and or NLS settings, permissions, etc. In case the issue lies with the system perl, I installed perlbrew and then installed 5.22.0 into ~/perl5. Using the perlbrew Perl, I get a different error: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _OCIAttrSet Referenced from: /Users/jrittenh/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.0/lib/site_perl/5.22.0/darwin-2level/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup dyld: Symbol not found: _OCIAttrSet Referenced from: /Users/jrittenh/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.0/lib/site_perl/5.22.0/darwin-2level/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup Trace/BPT trap: 5 I've tried: * both 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle libraries * symlinking libraries from the specific version (libclntsh.dylib.11.1 => libclntsh.dylib) * fixing hard-coded paths to /ade * creating a 'mesg' folder and made it writeable in $ORACLE_HOME * setting ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH to include /usr/local/oracle_client from /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc/, ~/.bashrc, and ~/.bash_profile Is there something else I can try? What am I missing?

There are a few answers on old questions about the same issue under Lion / Mountain Lion. Now with Java 1.8 and OS X 10.10 I wonder if anything has changed? Would be great to have exact removal steps. It really is asked too much, for Oracle to provide a proper uninstaller?

I am having an issue since I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite. I used to previously remotely access my work's Windows system from my Mac (OS X Mavericks). I had installed XQuartz and Java and was using Firefox as my browser. Since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite with both Java and XQuartz installed I can access the secure global desktop site and can also enter my log in details. The screen then moves to "loading" and then freezes with a final message that states "Failed to install SGD client". Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Never got that message with OS X Mavericks.

I installed OS X El Capitan and, along with it, Oracle's Java 8 SDK. I've already verified that, using java -version, java is correctly installed. I need to add some user classes to the file path, but, when I use echo $CLASSPATH, I cannot see the actual path being used by OS X. How can I know where should I install my user classes?

Can we install **Oracle 12c** Database without using any Virtual Machine ? Currently I have installed it in *VMWare Fusion* but it is consuming a lot of power.

Is it possible to run a Java applet in any browser in MacOS 10.9.2? Chrome does not work with Java applets because it's a 32 bit app and the Java plugin is 64 bit only. Firefox and Safari both should be able to use Oracle's Java plugin, but it does not seem to work. The official [java.com](http://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en) download from Oracle is "Version 7 Update 55". It installs via a .pkg installer but the plugin still does not work in Safari or Firefox. I did verify that /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin exists, but it is not showing up in Safaris' list of plugins. Oracle's installer adds a new "Java" system preference, with a security tab with a checkbox "Enable Java content in the browser". This is checked off. I check it on, click "Apply", and am prompted for my password. Then the dialog flashes and the box remains checked off. The plugin still does not work. I do note my console has a log line FAILURE: Job com.oracle.java.deployment.Helper is not loaded in launchd. There is an [unresolved bug against OpenJDK](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029309) for this problem that may be why it's not working. It is several months old. Some searching frequently turns up advice to [re-enable Java 6](http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559) . I really do not want to do this, but I am interested to know if it works in Mavericks.
