Looks like its actually connecting ok, as it includes the message "Created new ODBC connection (16585544)"
The ODBC driver is from CA (ingres) v3.5
- not sure that this fully supports all the requirements specified in the doc, and its not very well documented.
- the latest version available from their website is 2.8 which has some docs to say what it supports:
"The Ingres ODBC driver is a 2.x ODBC driver that supports all core and level 1 functions plus the following level 2 functions:
SQLExtendedFetch (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)
SQLForeignKeys
SQLMoreResults
SQLNumParam
SQLPrimaryKeys
SQLProcedureColumns
SQLProcedures
SQLSetPos (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)"
In order to test the configuration, I also copied the entries in the tnsnames and listener files, created a separate DSN, and set up a connection to an Access database - and this works fine, so I don't believe it is a configuration problem.
Is there anyone out there who has tried to connect to ingres, and is there an issue with the ingres ODBC driver.
Any help appreciated.

I'm using the Ingres 2.80.00.64 driver on NT successfully with hsodbc delivered with V92 Oracle database release.
About the provided trace file... Normally you should have a look at the odbc driver AND the hsodbc log file to see the real cause.
But according t the file you provided:
This error is normal: [G000]
The S1009 needs more clarification and thus an ODBC driver trace would help as well.

  • How to do a Generic Connectivity (ODBC) ?

    Hello,
    Generic Connectivity provide Oracle Database to connect another
    database via ODBC. In my case, it is Oracle 8.1.6 which connects
    to Sybase Enterprise 11 on Win NT. The Module "Generic
    Connection" is installed. I view it by the Oracle Universal
    Installer and I have configured the Windows ODBC Manager to
    connect to Sybase.
    This is what I've done step by step:
    1. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SPS_NACIONAL
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
    HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hs_syb.log
    2. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Listener.ora
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nacional)(PORT = 1521))
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = oracle)
    (ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
    (SID_NAME = oracle)
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = hs_syb)
    (ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
    (PROGRAM = hs_syb)
    I reload the listener by the following command :
    lsnrctl
    stop
    start
    3. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Tnsname.ora
    ORACLE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = oracle)
    hs_syb =
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID=hs_syb)
    (HS = OK)
    I test the tnsname at the prompt command line :
    tnsping hs_syb
    (It's OK)
    4. Database Link
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
    USING 'hs_syb';
    5. Test database link
    select * from emp@syb;
    And Errors occur :
    ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
    ORA-02063: preceding line from SYB
    6. I read again the documentation
    http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_g
    enco.htm
    and I found some tables to be feed with data by the HS_ADMIN
    packtage :
    This is what I have added :
    EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb','Uses ODBC Driver')
    EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb','SYC Sybase
    System 10/11')
    EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_INST_INIT
    ('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_DB_NAME','SYBDATA','F')
    (Drop procedure :
    EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_INST_INIT
    ('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO')
    EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb')
    EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb');
    I test one more time the connection,
    And I have the same error message as step 5.
    7. I put in the initialization file (initoracle.ora) the
    parameter
    Hs_Autoregister = true (It is true by default and it doesn't
    change errors. Is it another parameters for HS ?)
    In fact, I don't really understand the notion of "AGENT" for HS
    (Heterogeneous Services) in Oracle. Is it something to enable or
    is it automatic because the iniths_syb.ora file is in the path
    ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin ???
    What is it missing for the Generic Connectivity ? Any
    suggestion ? Say me what is the wrong step in this process or
    what I have forgotten.
    Thank you in advance.
    Jobar Team

    Hello
    You're right, step two needs to set (PROGRAM = hsodbc). I understand this when I saw hsodbc.exe in the path ORACLE_HOME\Bin (and at prompt I try agtctl.exe but without sucess, an utility for Heterogeneous Services).
    Now when I test the connection I can hear Oracle running something.
    This is what I've done step by step (following my previous message)I test with Sybase Entreprise and Sybase Anywhere :
    8. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Database\initoracle.ora
    I set a parameter in init file and I reload Oracle database :
    global_names = false
    OR in SQL+
    alter session set global_names=false;
    WITH SYBASE ENTREPRISE
    9. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
    At the beginning my iniths_syb.ora file was wrong then I correct parameters by viewing errors in C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\trace :
    #Using a dsn file generate by the Windows ODBC Manager
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="FILEDSN=C:\sybase.dsn"

    select * from anytable@syb;

    12. Test Database link
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK anywhere
    CONNECT TO USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY SECRET
    USING 'hs_any';
    select * from anytable@anywhere;
    In SYBASE ANYWHERE I've got this data
    select * from anytable
    go
    dateini col1 col2
    2002-02-01 00:00:00.0000 1.5000 1.4000
    In ORACLE I've got
    SQL> select * from anytable@anywhere;
    dateini col1 col2
    01/02/02 1 1
    There isn't the decimal.
    The reason doesn't like to be 1.4 or 1,4 because in Anywhere and in Oracle It is the same insert "insert into anytable values ('02/02/01', 1.5, 1.4)".
    13. Now I try a select of one column
    select col1 from anytable@anywhere;
    this error occur :
    ORA-00904 invalid column name
    I am sure that this column exist ! "select * from anytable@anywhere;" and "select count(*) from anytable@anywhere;" are OK.
    14. And this doesn't work anymore :
    insert into bx_surcharge@anywhere values ('01/02/02',1,2);
    ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
    15. Step 6 and 7 doesn't mean to be necessary ? And Where are used parameters of the "ODBC Connectivity Requirements" in the documentation. http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_genco.htm (And How to use Datatype Mapping ?)
    So How to successful a ODBC connection (Maybe I forget some parameters) ? For me, using a connection with ODBC is generic and have to work fine with any type of datasource, isn't it ?
    Have you got any idea to deal ? Thanks a lot.

  • Generic connectivity to SQL server: what kind of performance can I expect?

    I have set up a generic connection to a SQL server 2k db, with Oracle on another win 2k box. Both databases are in their "out of the box" configuration, so no particular tuning has been done: but the generic connectivity shows awful performance. In fact I have tried various kind of queries, and all of them show abysmal performance. A query with an "insert - select" that transferred 80K lines executed for one hour, with an average transfer rate of 1KB per second!
    I don't think this is the kind of performance I can expect from this tool, is it? Is there anyway particular I can do in order to tune the dblink over the generic connectivity?

    I don't think this is the kind of performance I can
    expect from this tool, is it? Is there anyway
    particular I can do in order to tune the dblink over
    the generic connectivity?Nevermind: apparently there are network communication problems between the two machines. Trying to execute the same tests on two co-located dbs shows performances of about 700ms in order to transfer 70000 3-column lines from a sql server db to oracle with a "insert into ... select * from" query.

  • Oracle Generic Connectivity in Oracle Application Ser ver 10g.

    Hi Tak and All!
    With the help of your great guidence, I have connect the Generic Connectivty for MS Access and MS Excel successfully in client server environment.
    The topology was..
    Host A = Custom installation of Oracle9i database + MS ACCESS
    Host B = Oracle 9i Database (Complete)
    But...
    tell me How the Oracle Generic Connectivity will connect in ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER. What will be the concept and topology? Because the client only have the URL which is used for getting application on browser.
    I will be extremely thankful.
    All these forums always help me.
    Thanks
    Rana Adnan

    It depends. Oracle Reports can connect to Oracle and non-Oracle databases directly, without using Generic Connectivity.
    Your Forms application would presumably connect only to the Oracle database. The Oracle database might well connect to other Oracle and non-Oracle databases via database links. The non-Oracle database links would utilize Generic Connectivity.
    Given the three machines A, B, and C
    A could connect to B and B could connect to C
    A could connect to C for reporting queries

  • Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?

    hi,
    Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?
    I am getting an error as follows
    "ORA-02047 cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" when i am trying a transaction, which is inserting in to db2/400 and updating in Oracle.
    if it does not support this, what is the best way
    to do such things using generic connectivity.
    (eg. by committing each sql statement ?)
    my db is oracle 9i 9.2.0.4.0
    remote db is db2/400 connected with client access ODBC.
    Thanks
    BA

    Hi,
    one of the restrictions of generic connectivity is, that distributed transactions are not allowed.
    See manual: 7-6 Oracle9 i Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide
    - Generic Connectivity agents cannot participate in distributed transactions; they
    support single-site transactions only
    So you can only commit after each statement or you have to use the GATEWAY

  • Generic Connectivity for 64-bit 10gR2 on Windows

    I want to create a database link from a Windows oracle database to SQL Server 2005. The obvious solution seemed to be generic connectivity using HSODBC.
    However, I don't have HDODBC.EXE in my 64-bit oracle home.
    Doing some investigation, it seems that HSODBC was never supplied/supported on 64-bit windows, and the solution is to use the 11g gateways installed in a separate home and use DGODBC.EXE.
    Is this correct?
    HSODBC was free with 10g. Is DGODBC still free, or would I have to license it as a gateway product?

    Hi Jim,
    yes, this is correct. You can use DG4ODBC 11.2 which is the follow up product of HSODBC and which is now available for 64bit Windows.
    Like HSODBC the follow up product DG4ODBC is still for free.

  • About the generic connectivity error.

    I use the Generic Connectivity to link a mySQL database and appeared some mistakes:
    ORA-28500: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Access denied for user 'SA'@'SERVER' (using password: YES) (SQL State: S1000; SQL Code: 1045)
    Is that the reason why?
    I checked once, that my ODBC parameter establishes normally.

    you need to surround the username and password while creating the database link to SQL Server with DOUBLE QUOTES.
    Look at the error message; it states: SA instead of sa.
    As MS SQL Server usernames/passwords as well as columns and tables are case sensitive for some settings you need to define the db link using double quotes as follows:
    create database link server connect to "sa" identified by "PaSSworD" using '<tns alias>':

  • Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

    Dear All,
    Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
    Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
    I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
    but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
    Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
    Thanks

    HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
    Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
    There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
    The rest is absolute similar to the note.
    If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.

    I wouldn't think so these days ... however, you could try posting this in the heterogeneous services - which is somewhere on OTN.
    If it we me, I'd convert the DBF into something easier to use with Oracle : like XML or CSV

  • Generic connectivity to Sybase and outer join problem

    I have a need to query records from a Sybase database running on Linux
    (32-bit) and am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 with generic connectivity (no
    specific heterogeneous service/transparent gateway for Sybase on Linux, that I see). We have installed
    an ODBC driver on the Oracle server and can query the Sybase database
    without difficulty except for outer joins.
    I have tried using both the Oracle syntax and the ANSI syntax. Both
    return results that are consistent with using an inner join. The ANSI
    query, run directly against the Sybase database returns the correct
    data (of course, removing the database link syntax).
    I was looking into the possibility of using dbms_hs_passthrough, but
    it does not appear to be part of the generic connectivity.
    Is there a better/right way of doing this? Aren't outer joins supported?
    Thanks,
    Vince

    As a followup, I did get dbms_hs_passthrough working and am able to get the correct data back. However, I would like to leave this as a backup.
    Aren't outer joins supported in the generic connectivity?

  • Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' for generic connectivity

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle 10gR2 64-bit on Linux 64-bit. I am trying to connect to an MSSQL box on Windows. I know that hsodbc is officially not supported on 64-bit OS.
    My connection using freetds works as well from unixODBC (verified by tsql, isql). The problem is in the next layer up - hsodbc. I copied it from a 32-bit Linux box as it was 0 bytes on 64-bit box.
    Here is what I have in initSQLGUY.ora -
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqltest
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 4
    HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = freetds.trc
    HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
    # ODBC specific environment variables
    set ODBCINI=/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
    set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32
    where sqltest is the name of my dsn. My listener.ora has -
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = SQLGUY)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/10.2)
    (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    (ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32)
    My tnsnames.ora has -
    sqlguyid=
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY))
    (HS=OK)
    with this configuration, tnsping works -
    Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY)) (HS=OK))
    OK (0 msec)
    However my db link fails with -
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
    [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (718): ; [C077]
    Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' in dynamic library
    DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (722): ; [C079] Failed to load dynamic library
    '/usr/local/lib/libodbc.so'
    ORA-02063: preceding 3 lines from SQLGUYLNK
    I am sure that others have gotten this to work in the past. I must be missing something trivial. Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get this working?
    Thanks

    You didn't explicite mention it, but I assume you are using a 32bit ODBC driver?
    The SQLAllocConnect function is built into the ODBC driver manager which is refered in your case as: /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
    - check out this library exists and has sufficient permissins to be loaded by the Oracle user
    - check out this library is 32 bit
    - check out this library contains the SQLAllocConnect symbol
