comment Oracle 11g listener fails with ORA-12514 and ORA-12505 errors
you actually eyplained the solution: the automatic regristration of the database to the default LOCAL_LISTENER='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=1521))' (where hostname is the network name of the machine) did not work because there is a problem to reach the machine under this name. Maybe there is an entry in the alert.log or in some sqnlnet.log (%ORACLE_HOME%/network/log/) about the registration problem of the database

comment Oracle 11g listener fails with ORA-12514 and ORA-12505 errors
two notes: "the listener seems fine": I don't think so because it does not display a service named "XE" "I can ping the XE service": tnsping connects to the listener but it does not bother about services. so you can only show if the listener is up and running but you cannot use ist to check if the listener has registered a service. So tnsping "(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = XE)))" will succeed if a listener is running on port 1521 of localhost even if the service does not exist.

comment Is there any way to break out of the string and inject SQL without using a single quote in oracle?
@Vincent Malgrat: "Not using bind variables destroys performance" is wrong.It is true that recompilation of a statement can be avoided by using bind variables. Also the shared pool will be flood by a lot of similiar statements if you don't use bind variables. Nevertheless the optimizer has less information for building a plan if one uses bind variables instead of literal values. There are situations where there should be selected different plans depending on the values of the bind variables (or the literal values).

Yes, but I wanted to know how much percent of the whole database space you will save?

comment Oracle Table Design, Storing Small Values
how much percent of space will you save in your database by defining these columns as CHAR(1) instead of NUMBER(1)?

"the album cannot exist without an artits" may be true in a historical sense but I think it is questionable in conceptual data modelling.

Where does the error occurr in your query? I wrote an answer that shows how to find this when using sqlplus. But more important: can you simplify the query and reproduce the error anyway? Simplifying means: remove joins from the where clause, remove expressions from the were-clause (or the whole were-clause if possible), remove fields from the select-list.
