Getting sqlplus and odbc connection to work

I'm looking to automate some data extraction activities either through a windows batch file or set up a data connection in an excel spreadsheet. I've installed (I think) the instant client, but, I'm not seeing any programs to run in my start>All Programs list except Microsoft ODBC Administrator and sqlplus does not work when typed at the command prompt (sqlplusw neither).
Not sure what I should do next...thanks for looking and your help.
I currently use sql server and access and have set odbc connections and connections to sql server in excel.
Here's what the inventory shows:
Inventory contents of (my-computer):
Oracle Homes
OraClient10g_home1
Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0

sqlplus working, had the wrong path, but, not connecting. I did save a copy of the tnsnames.ora from another machine. Here's what it shows, below, I think I need to use the LDAP adapter, but, not sure how to make it use that, sqlnet.ora is:

TS1362 I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all!

I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all! I NEED HELP OR MY MONEY BACK NOW!

There seems to be an occasional issue with downloads from the store. They prompt for authorization when they are in fact corrupt/incomplete in some fashion. Try deleting the problem tracks (do not hide from iTunes in the cloud), close iTunes and reopen, go to iTunes Store > Qucklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Select a few tracks to download then click the icon that appears at the top-right of the iTunes window.. Untick the box that reads Allow simultaneous downloads. Proceed with the rest of your eligible purchases.
If you still have a problem use the Report a problem links in your account history to contact the iTunes Store support team.

Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

Hi!
Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
"The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
// If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

Hi Kimbie,
Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.

Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC connection not working

I have created an ODBC source. I tried using this in SSIS workflow ODBC, when I test the connection, it crashes my Visual Studio 2010

In addition, I suggest you could try to use this process monitor tool to check which process running when you test this connect.

Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

Two questions.
I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
Second question: I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
Any info helps. Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Below are the replies to your questions:
Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
- Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
- Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
- You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
Please update with the results.
Thanks!

Windows 7 64 bit and ODBC connect to Sql data source

Hi
Just porting a simple test form over to new laptop with windows 7 64 bit and my odbc connect strings are not working properly.
They seem to work with Microsoft access, but not livecycle designer.
I tried the 32 bit ODBC drivers, and at least I can see the first record, but now I get an error when I try and execute a drop down to select a different record.
Looking at the forum history, a lot of Windows 7 issues but did not see one for ODBC connections....
Anyone have ODBC working on a Win 7 64 bit system?
Do they work?
Do the 32 bit drivers work?

I believe that the 64 bit drivers are NOT working
the 32 bit drivers are working.- have them working now!

Beginners Assistance with StarOffice and ODBC connections

Hello,
I apologize before hand for this VERY newbie question.
One of the last hurdles to overcome in our company to deploying StarOffice, is the use of MANY refreshable Excel files that pull data from SQL servers. How do I get StarOffice to use these ODBC connections? I have tried creating a new database file, but this does not point me to the correct database on the SQL server. I really could use some help, or handholding, through this process.
Thank you

Hi Paul
I am trying to get the 32 bit drives to work connected to a SQL remote database and I get the following error
GeneralError:Operation failed.......Index is out of bounds
I am using a simple script to clone the datasource so a drop down can bring up the other row values
The lines that it is failing on is
while (xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != "DataConnection2"){ nIndex
++; }
worked fine in Vista, but not windows 7 (using 32 bit drivers)
Any suggestions?

Setting up and ODBC connection

I need to download the Oracle Client in order to setup an odbc connection to an oracle database.
I am not sure what the right product for me to download is. Can someone help me out?

What OS are you doing this on? Windows?
Either way, the instructions are telling you to set an environment variable, but the way you do that differes depending on the OS you are on.
If you are on Windows, bring up the control panel. Click the "Advanced" tab. Click the "Environment Variables" button.
Now you see all the environment variables already set for your system. If, in the System Variables section, there is already one called PATH, click on it and then click the "Edit" button. Now add the full path that you installed Instant Client on into that list. If there isn't a PATH variable already defiend, create one with the same wizard I just mentioned.
Justin is correct. For ODBC, you need the basic Instant Client, and then another download in the same are which is for ODBC. Unzip the contents of both into some other directory and that is the directory to put in the PATH variable.

I got locked out and changed the password. it did not work and now its disabled for 60 minutes. I dont use itunes, or icloud. how can I get in and why wont it work.

I am locked out of my iphone. I changed the password and it still wont work. I changed it again and it is now disabled. I do not use itunes, icloud. How can I get into my iphone? I have changed my password and its not working. how can I start over?

Follow the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

Hi bighead2192,
Call your Router's Manufacturer's Phone Support and have them walk you through setting up your Router.
However, you should have the Router's Manual in PDF format or Paper that you can read and find out how to do it.
I have a D-Link Router, not a Linksys Router.

Running Network Magic version -5.5.9195.0-Pure0 on Wireless Computer with McAfee Personal Firewall Build 11.5.131 Wireless Computer has D-Link DWA-552 connecting to D-Link DIR-655 A3 Router.

How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet. I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity. When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device. I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability. Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
How come I cannot just plug in and go?
My firmware version is v2.07.1.
I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"
I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
Thanks in advance.
