How do you import the sample Oracle HR database into SQL Developer?

Question

EDIT: I think I'm close to solving this now. i will self-answer if so

I've been stuck on this for a while now - I want to use the sample Oracle Human Resources database. I've been studying through these instructions to no avail.

So I have downloaded both Oracle Database 11g Express Edition, along with SQL Developer. And I can play with it and create a sample database. But I don't know how to use the HR database.

any tips appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

Good news - I finally figured it out. I had to go into SQL Command Line, and then put in these commands( from this link) :

Type: connect

Enter user-name: system

Enter password:

Then, we need to unlock the HR :

SQL> ALTER USER hr ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Then we make a password for this user :

SQL> ALTER USER hr IDENTIFIED BY <hr-password>;

So after this, I could access it from SQL Develloper. thanks
