Form Builder Connectivity from other database

Could anyone please guide me in detail to connect Oracle Forms 9i/10g with MS SQL Server database?
Also how do we connect with other databases like SQL Server, MS Access, and so on?
Thanks in advance.

create an odbc for oracle and connect form to any database through odbc using
userid/passwd and database as odbc:dsnname

  • Form Builder connecting to Oracle database

    I recently dowloaded the Personal Edition of the Oracle 10g database.
    Having done that, I installed a copy of Oracle Forms 6i which I had.
    When I used to connect to the database from the Forms Builder, I only entered username "scott" and password "tiger".
    Now, it seems I also need to enter the database name to connect.
    I tried "Oracle10g", which I think is the instance name, but I get an error about not being able to "resolve service name."
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Although not related to your problem, connecting Forms 6i to a 10g database isn't really a good idea. Although it is supported by Oracle, you are likely to have problems. Remember that Forms/Reports 6i is very old (and no longer supported) and was based on the Oracle 8.0.6 architecture. Additionally, be sure you are using Forms 6.0.8.22 (Patch 13) or newer if you plan to connect to 10.x.
    That said, your problem is not related to the versions you are using. It is caused by the fact that the database is considered "remote" relative to Forms. This is true even though both products are likely installed on the same machine. By having them installed in different Oracle Homes (which you must), the database might as well be on another machine.
    Short answer, you need to add the database information to the tnsnames.ora file found in the Forms Oracle Home. More specifically, it can be found in:
    %ORACLE_HOME%\NET80\ADMIN
    The other alternative is to set TNS_ADMIN in the system environment (not the Windows Registry). This will point to the database's tnsnames.ora and will allow all installed products to access the same file.

  • Connect Oracle Form Builder 10g to Oracle Database 10g Express

    Hi,
    I'm new to Oracle.
    I've installed both form builder and database 10g express.
    I tried to connect form builder to HR sample database in 10g express with the following:
    user name: hr
    password: hr
    database: hr
    but I received message: ora-12154: tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    Can anyone help me on that? Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora?
    If yes, what should I need to change in order to connect to the HR sample?
    Thank you.

    Yes you need to have an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for you database service name or sid. The service name or sid is usually XE unless you changed it when you installed 10g express.

  • How to run report from other database

    If you have another Oracle database you can use the following command to create a link to it from the one you are currently logged into
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK my_db_link
    CONNECT TO other_oracledb_usernane IDENTIFIED BY other_oracledb_password
    USING 'remote_oracledb_name';
    When you issue this command the 'remote_oracledb_name' must exist in your TNSNAMES.ORA file so that the remote database can be 'found'
    If this is still not enough info I would suggest that you talk to someone on your DBA team to help set up the link.

  • Connecting to other databases

    Hi,
    Can I connect to other databases such as Pointbase from Jdeveloper? If yes, how?
    Thanks

    Yes you can. You need the JDBC driver for the specific database and then follow the online help of JDeveloper.
    look for "Registering a New Third-Party JDBC Driver" when you search for JDBC.

  • I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

    I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    First thing to try is reset Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

    Try following this steps:
    1. Create an access database e.g. c:\db1.mdb
    2. Open the access database and create a table with some data. Save the file.
    3. Create on ODBC connection:
         execute odbcad32.exe. Add...,
         select driver for microsoft access,
         give it a name of your choice e.g. oraacc

  • Forms 11g connecting to XE database

    Hello
    I installed Forms 11g on my laptop (windows XP) on which an Oracle XE database is running.
    In form builder 11g I am able to connect to this XE database. Therefore I changed the tns_names entry in the newly created oracle home registry variable. In my case my oracle_home was key_oh304040290 (?)
    When I run a form I get ora-12154: TNS could not resolve the connect identifier.
    Ok sounds logical to me. I have to change the tns_names.ora in the middleware oracle home.
    I cannot find this oracle home in the registry. Therefore I changed the tns_names.ora in <OH>Middleware\asinst_1\config
    I still am not able to connect (same error message)
    After that I decided to add a windows environment variable: still no result
    What am I missing?
    Regards Erik

    Hi Erik,
    I think You donot need to change anything as such , except to add an entry in the tnsnames.ora for your database details , in the file present in
    Oracle Instance config directory
    ex:- c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\config
    Forms11g runtime takes the tns values pointed with TNS_ADMIN in the default.env file.
    I am not sure , waht you changed in the registry entry. the TNS_ADMIN by default will point to tnsnames.ora file in
    c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\config folder.
    Since you were able to connect to Builder , I dont see any reason to change it for runtime.

  • Creating Secure Form that Outputs from a Database?

    I need to create a form that pulls data from a database (of any format) based on what the user enters.  Specifically, I want a customer to be able to enter their name in a field and output data based on their name.  I was about to use a standard PHP mail form methodology, but I realize this would be insecure (I would like to keep my customer list hidden).  Can someone offer a suggestion on what I should look for in creating a secure form/database output structure for my site?  Even if it's just the name of the method so I can search for a tutorial.  Thank you!

    Does it matter that anyone could enter the right name in the form to return the customer data? If so you need to use a password.
    1. Create a form through which the customer can register their details with a user name and password.
    2. On the server side hash the password with something like SHA256 (plenty of open source implementations about or you can create your own).
    3. Store the customer details together with a userid and hashed password in the server database
    4. Create a form through which the customer can request their details, and asks them for their userid and password.
    6. On the server side, rehash the password from the form and request a row from the customer database where the userid and hashed password match an entry
    7. Return the customer data if row retrieved from database else return a message saying on data matching those details etc.
    Regards
