Forms 6i to sql database using odbc driver

am using orace forms 6i and i want to connect to sql database to use the tables there i can seem to do that with odbc cos it is asking for 'oracle open client adaptor', please can somebody tell me how and where i can get this adaptor driver.

I suggest posting this in the Forms discussion forum. The open client adapter stuff is a bit different that the ODBC driver.

Hello sir..
thanks for ur reply...
for oracle 10g -----> we use XE as datasourse
name..What?
now i am using oracle 8i...Not so from the code you posted. Didn't I see "jdbc:odbc:..." in your first post?
so what should i
write...in the datasourse name...that means.......
Connection
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@loc
alhost:1521:????????","scott","tiger");Do you really use the default username and password?
What should i write in place of ?????????..The name of the database you wish to connect to, of course.
Do you have your tnsnames.ora set up properly? Did you install this database?
None of this has ANYTHING to do with the error you posted, of course. Fix that first and then worry about the thin driver. At least it appears that the code you posted managed to connect to the database.

hi
dbgen is your project name? it should be the dsn name that has to be mentioned. Go to control panel->administrative tools>data sources and add the type of driver required.

Submit pdf form data to sql database

Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
Thanks for advice.
Tony

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

submit pdf form data to sql database
If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
post your email and I will email them to you directly.

Unable to connect to SQL database through ODBC calls

I have been looking around for an answer to this, but haven't found the exact issue I'm seeing.
I have several Excel spreadsheets which have been working until recently, which use an ODBC call to a remote SQL database. The database is running, remote connections are allowed. The SQL server is in a domain which has no external trusts. Users with accounts
in this domain can remotely access the SQl databases through ODBC just fine. Users who do not have domain accounts in this domain are being denied access by their domain account, and the SQL authentication is not passed through, even though remote access is
set to allow "everyone", and the database is set to Windows authentication and SQL authentication. This worked until early this week (the spreadsheet was created in 2010), and I have been looking fruitlessly for a fix ever since. As far as I know,
no changes were made to group policy on this domain, and no changes were made to the server or database recently, except Microsoft patches. None of the patches this month looked like they would affect this.

It works locally on the server and remotely for users in the same domain. I am trying to use the SQL account and password to connect to the database, but users from outside this domain fail to reach the SQL database for authentication. It looks like Windows
authentication is not passing the SQL credentials on if the windows authentication fails. I don't know how to resolve this. The only options in SQL are "Windows authentication and SQL authentication" or "Windows authentication only". The database is already
set to the first option. Somehow, I need to set the server to allow the SQL authentication even if the Windows authentication fails.
Hi pkuti01,
SQL Server mixed mode is "Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication", we have to restart SQL Server service after change the authentication to mixed mode.
In your case, have you got any error message/information if you faild connect to SQL Server via ODBC? If so, please post them to us for further investigation. Furthermore, here is an article regarding steps to troubleshooting SQL connectivity issues for
your reference. Please see:

Connect to remote database using ODBC

I am new to TimesTen and I would like some help connecting to remote timesten database using ODBC.
I followed all the instructions in the manual to setup (like logical server and all). but, when I try to connect using "connect dsn=myRemoteDSN" command, it does not work. It gives me this error: 7001: User authentication failed
It is asking me for username and password but I dont know how to setup username and password. Looked all over the internet and I could not find any relevant posts. I have already tried "unchecking" the authentication, but it still asks me for username and password.

thanks for your help. I did not realize that that I turned on ACL. creating a user and then granting the needed permissions did the trick.
I now have another problem. I use windows platform and .NET 2.0 (C#) to connect to remote timesten database. The driver provided by timesten (as part of installation) does not seem to support ADO.NET. I get "driver does not support this function" exception when I try to insert data into a table. Ironically, it does insert the data successfully, but still generates the exception. I looked at various forums.. everyone seems to have the same problem, but have not had any solution yet?
Could you let me know if you encountered this issue before and how you might have resolved it?
Many thanks

Can't connect to SQL Database using new login

I can connect to Azure SQL Database using the admin ID created when I set up the Azure account. Now I want to set up a different login that has only regular read/write privileges. I have followed the instructions on several web posts, to create
a login at the server level, then create a user at the database level from the login. When I try to connect, though, the connection fails. I get an error message, and a GUID that I am supposed to supply to MS tech support, except that all I have
is a standard Azure subscription, which does not include tech support.
Here is what I have done so far:
Logging in to the server with the admin account with SQL Mgmt Studio, I go to the master database on my Azure server, and create the login:
CREATE LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
This appears to work (password supplied is a "strong" password), or at least it doesn't show any error response.
Then, connecting to the production database in Azure, I set up a user and set permissions as follow:
CREATE USER clouduser1 FROM LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'clouduser1'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'clouduser1'
When I attempt to connect to Azure using the new login, however, I get an error message (from SQL Mgmt Studio as well as from MS Access). I am using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.
The message is:
Connection failed:
SQLState '28000'
SQL Server Error 18456
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'clouduser'.
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 40608
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]This session has been assigned a tracing ID of
'271851d5-8e94-497c-a332-d9d40682bb7a'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance.
Is there some missing step I need to do, to permit the login to see the database? I have looked for such in the various discussions about connection problems, but have not been able to find such a thing. Or extend more permissions to the new
user? Or specify a default user ID for a given login ? (as they do not have the same names, in the examples I have seen). I tried making the user ID the same as the login (w/o the server name), but that didn't seem to help, either.
I have done numerous web searches, and tried about every variation of login or user ID, password, etc. that I can think of, and all of them encounter the same error. It's got to be something very simple - clearly Azure supports more than one login
per database. But's that's all I have at the moment. That login connects just fine, but others won't, using the same PC, middleware, IP address, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated -
Thanks,
Doug

Olaf -
I noticed that, but all of the examples I have seen have Users named slightly differently from the Logins. I did try logging in with the Login name instead. No good. I tried making the Login and the User name the same (clouduser). Also
no good - same symptoms.
I think the problem is that the initial creation of the Login needs to be done WITHOUT the server name on the end.
Logged in to the master DB, I tried: Create LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
That didn't give me an error message, but I think it created a LOGIN of 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'. When
referenced from the outside world, I would need to specify 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb@gxw8x04nlb'.
I tried deleting the logins, and then creating the login 'clouduser' in the Master DB. Then in
the application DB, I created User clouduser from LOGIN clouduser, and then assigned a role. That seems to work!
In my connection string, File DSN, etc. I still need to supply the login as 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'.
But when I am logged in to the server, and working in the Master DB or the application DB, I just refer to the Login as 'clouduser'.
Seems a little more complicated than it really should be, but at least I now have something that works.

Using SQLBindParameter, SQLPrepare and SQLExecute to insert a Decimal(5,3) type fails with SQLSTATE: 22003 using ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server

Hello everyone.
I'm using SQL Server 2014, and writting on some C++ app to query and modify the database. I use the ODBC API.
I'm stuck on inserting an SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT value into the database, if the corresponding database-column has a scale set.
For test-purposes: I have a Table named 'decTable' that has a column 'id' (integer) and a column 'dec' (decimal(5,3))
In the code I basically do:
1. Connect to the DB, get the handles, etc.
2. Use SQLBindParameter to bind a SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT to a query with parameter markers. Note that I do include the information about precision and scale, something like: SQLBindParameter(hstmt, 2, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_NUMERIC, SQL_NUMERIC, 5, 3, &numStr,
sizeof(cbNum), &cbNum);
3. Prepare a Statement to insert values, something like: SQLPrepare(hstmt, L"INSERT INTO decTable (id, dec) values(?, ?)", SQL_NTS);
4. Set some valid data on the SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT
5. Call SQLExecute to execute. But now I get the error:
SQLSTATE: 22003; nativeErr: 0 Msg: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Numeric value out of range
I dont get it what I am doing wrong. The same code works fine against IBM DB2 and MySql. I also have no problems reading a SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT using SQLBindCol(..) and the various SQLSetDescField to define the scale and precision.
Is there a problem in the ODBC Driver of the SQL Server 2014?
For completeness, here is a working c++ example:
// InsertNumTest.cpp
// create database using:
create a table decTable with an id and a decimal(5,3) column:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE[dbo].[decTable](
[id][int] NOT NULL,
[dec][decimal](5, 3) NULL,
CONSTRAINT[PK_decTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[id] ASC
)WITH(PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON[PRIMARY]
) ON[PRIMARY]

If this is no solution try increasing the decimale number on the SQL server table, if you stille have the same problem after that change the column to a nvarchar and see the actual value that is put through the ODBC connector for SQL.

What's a better connection to an SQL database? ODBC or OLE DB

NEw user here, but what would be a preferred way of connecting to my SQL database? So far I have option of using ODBC (RDO) connection or OLE DB(ADO) connection. I'm not sure what the differences or when to use one or the other.
Thanks

I like OLE DB for the simply because it's "portable". With OLE DB the connection info is stored in the report. With ODBC, the report is using a system dsn connection. It means that if you want to send it to another user / computer, you also have to make sure the other computer has the same ODBC connection.
In terms of performance... I've used both and have never seen a difference.

Minimum Install for Using ODBC Driver.

What is the minimum installation required for using ODBC from a client machine.
EG I have an application in Access and I want to connect to a table on my oracle server. The user machine, has Access installed, and I don't wnat to install the whole 50 megs(OK I exagerate A little but not much) of NET 8 client just so they can look at a table in Access from Oracle.
What specific elements are necessary in the install, TCP/IP, Named pipe protocol adapters?, required support files?, SQL*plus 8?
Say its a version 8.0.4 server for arguments sake and I want the least hassle setting up 50 users who already have office installed with the latest version of MS ODBC32, they have no Oracle software on their machines.
null

Unfortunately, you'll need to do at least a minimal Oracle client install. While we probably don't actually rely on everything that gets installed here, we don't test our driver with anything less than a minimal install.

Generating next number from the SQL database using java

Hi friends, I have a problem and need your help. I am working on a project about submitting claims form through the adobe PDF file and SQL database. I have problem working on a web service (written in java) that will generate the next Invoice Number from the SQL Database table. The field type for the column is text(var char). *Example: I first need to get into the table and search for the last Invoice number in the table and if the last invoice number in the table from the database is 3, i would want to generate the next number which is 4 and filled it up in the PDF file through web service that i am implementing. Can you all provide me some guidelines on how to implement this method in my web service?
Thanks a lot. I need it by today. Hope someone can reply this as soon as possible.
Lim89
Edited by: LIM89 on Apr 2, 2008 7:10 PM

far simpler to use a sequence generator, which most databases support.
Suggested method to get the max value in the column is NOT secure, unless you lock the entire table for update before you do so, which is a severe performance penalty.

Cannot create DSN using ODBC Driver 8.1.5

I was able to create new DSNs using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.5 and linked Access tables. But all of a sudden (yes, without any reason, I was not downloading anything at that time) , I got ODBC-Call Failed. And when I tried to reopen (browse) the linked table, a message saying -
One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
Then I realized that I cannot configure existing DSNs using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.5. I trid to create a new one. But after I selected the Oracle ODBC Driver, it did not bring me to the screen to set up DSN, and just went back to the same ODBC Datasource Administrator window.
I tried to use SQL Plus to connect to the Oracle server and it worked. But when I tried the ODBCtest, I got the same message with more details -
SQLSTATE: IM003, Native Error Code: 160, Driver Message: Specified Driver could ont be loaded due to system error 1114. (Oracle ODBC Driver).
I tried to follow the 'help' hint but nothing's working. I reinstalled the ODBC driver, and even downloaded the MDAC 2.6 that appeared in one old discussion topic, but still have problems.
Was it something suddenly crashed? Could someone please help? (p.s. I am using win98). Thanks!

What version of the mfc42*.dll's do you have in your system directory?
