Oracle Explorer in VS 2005.

Hi,
My oracle explorer is not working in VS 2005. The View menu is showing the Oracle Explorer option and when clicks in it, the explorer window is not showing. I tried to reinstall odp.net. But not working. If anyone have any idea, please help me.
Rgds,
Rathish.

I was also experiencing almost same problem, when i install the Dev Tool, & click on View->Oracle Explorer,i got the following message
Microsoft Visual Studio
Package Load Failure
Package 'Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {D601BB95-E404-4A8E-9F24-5C1A462426CE} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.
then i try
devenv /resetskippkgs
Now noting happening, now no error, but Oracle Explore was not opening, then i try this
gacutil /l Oracle.DataAccess

gacutil /l Oracle.VsDevtools
thatz it, my problem solve.

Oracle Explorer not Visible in VS 2005

Hi,
Uses: VS 2005 Pro; Oracle 9i Remote Database(Live); Oracle 10g Express Edition(Production); Windows Xp sp3+;
I have my computer which is installed with Oracle 10g Express Edition and I 'm able to connect to the local Oracle XE as well as to the Remote Server which has Oracle 9i. Further I could work with Oracle.DataAccess.client as with my .NET applications. However some tools as Oracle Explorer is not visible in the View menu of my VS 2005.
While reading some articles I came to know that this tools comes with Oracle's Developer Tools for Visual Studio.
My question here is since I have already installed Oracle XE and it has installed Oracle client itself, will there be a conflict while installing Oracle Developer Tools in the same machine?
If I'm mistaken here, pls tell me how can I be able to create TableAdapters using Oracle.DataAccess.client instead of System.Data.Oracle?
Thanks & Regards,
Hifni

FYI - Oracle Explorer is no longer provided with newer releases. You use Server Explorer instead.
You can install ODAC version 11 so that you get the latest Visual Studio features. No, there wont be a conflict.
Just allow it to install it in a new Oracle Home (new directory) and you should be fine.

Oracle Explorer not appearing in VS2005 after installing ODT 11.1.0.6.20

this was installed for both vs2003 & vs2005. Installation completed successfully.
loading up vs2003 for first time after ODT i was able to select Oracle Explorer option from the View menu, connect successfully and perform actions as expected.
loading up vs2005 for first time after ODT install i got an initial error saying "Command with same name already exists" - this error only occured the once.
in vs2005 the Oracle Explorer option does not exist in the view menu, but it has added the oracle data items to my toolbox. And in the VS About option it says Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 11.1.0.6.20 is installed.
Where is my oracle explorer!!
Cheers,
Karen

Hi, Oracle Explorer was replaced by Server Explorer in VS 2005 onward. Please open up Server Explorer, add a new connection, and choose "ODP.NET" from the list of Data Providers.

How do I get a datagridview to work with Oracle Explorer.

Hi.
I've got a database running locally V 9.2.
I've downloaded the latest ODAC for this version, and also ODAC10202BEATA and installed the v10 client and the Oracle Explorer.
I can then select a table from my database and create a dataOracleAdapter and dataOracleConnection. I can previewResults the dataOracleDataAdapter OK. From this I then create a dataset.
I then add a dataViewGrid to my form, and in the dataSource, select my dataSet.
When I run the form, the dataGrid is empty.
If I change my dataSource to the Project Data Source (rather than the one linked to my form via the dataGridView tasks, I get the option to preview the data, but I get an error message 'Start accmDataOracleDataAdapter1 could not be previewed. Data providor identified by guid '000000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' could not be loaded.)
This is the first time I've used this. No experience of dataGrids in VB 6 I'm afraid.
Please can someone point in the right direction, or to a tutorial anywhere which explains the use of dataGridViews in VS 2005. I've searched and can't find anything on the web.
Many thanks.
Keith.

Error -3000 in Oracle Explorer View while trying to add connection. v. 10.2

I have been using Oracle 9.2 and it's cooresponding ODP.NET for ASP.NET web development. I am now started on a new project that is running on a 10g database. I figured I would try out the Visual Tools suite and get the benefit of using ODP.NET and the integrated tools.
I run the installer and created a new home directory just like the release notes say. After I reboot I copy my TNS Names and try SQL plus from my 9.x version and it works perfectly I can connect to any server. I check my Oracle Home selector and it is pointing to the 10g client directory.
The problem is that when I am in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and open the Oracle Explorer view and click Add Connection. I get the dialog box and select my database and use a username/password and click Test and I immediately get a "-3000" error message almost like it is not even going out on the network. It says some internal error (String) datatype but nothing useful at all in the error message to help in resolving the error.
I did a search on the forums here and everyone says use the latest version which I would do but I am on the latest version (Downloaded Yesterday 10-19-2005). So to get back to work I uninstalled the 10g visual tools and I am using the 9.2 client using the 9.2 ODP.NET until I can find out what the issue is with the 10g tools.

Just to give an update to help others if they may encounter this issue. I uninstalled the Oracle 9.x client and removed any traces even the Universal installer. Once you reboot and ensure that nothing anywhere is pointing to the oracle directory I even deleted the Oracle directory to ensure that it would be a clean install.
I then proceeded to install the 10.2 Developer tools and used the default settings and when I finished the installation I copied my TNSNames over to the network directory and rebooted. I then launched VS.NET 2003 and went to Oracle Explorer and added a Database and did the test connection and it worked. So it appears to have an issue with an existing installation running side by side (9.x and 10.x) The 9.x install did have the ODP.NET library installed so this alone might have been the issue as I haven't seen in the docs were you can't have both on the same system as with .NET you aren't supposed to have this issue running multiple versions of the same .NET assembly on the same machine.
What was wierd with the scenario is that other than ODP.NET on the 10g client install everything worked fine connecting using the command line tools. It just would not connect via Visual Studio .NET's environment. I didn't try to do it in code as I figured it would be just the same issue.

Oracle Explorer in VS2003 not working

I've installed the latest beta and everything "seems" good until I try to add a new connection in the Oracle Explorer.
I select the server from the pulldown, enter my name and password, and hit the "Test Connection" button, and nothing happens. No error. No lock up. Just nothing. If I hit "Save" the same thing happens - nothing. I can "cancel" and try again but with no help.
My PC was previously installed with client for 8i only, and Toad. All of that still works fine.
During this install I created a new home for 10g as suggested.
The first time I went into Visual Studio, the dropdown list had no entries. I figured out that the new 10g home didnt have a tnsnames file, so I copied my tnsnames file from the 8 home ito the 10 home and went back into Visual Studio. This time the dropdown was populated.
So, I'm trying to use it to create a database connection, and it just doesn't do anything. I've gone into the Net Manager and everything works there. My TOAD still works too.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Travis

Thanks Jimmy. I sure thought the latest beta was for BOTH 2005 and 2003. But anyway, I've downloaded the older version that says it is only for 2003.
I couldn't find a way to effectively uninstall the 2005 one... I installed the 2003 one in a new Oracle "Home" and I've gotten one step better.....
Now when I try to add a connection, I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance." Not in MY code, mind you, in the code that runs when you just hit the "Test Connection" button.
I'll be searching for answers to THAT....
Ugh...

Error when try to open Oracle Explorer

I have just installed Oracle.... During the installation, I didn't receive any error message, but when I try to open Oracle Explorer, I get this message:
Package Load Failure.
Package 'Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET' has failed to load properly (GUID = {D601BB95-E404-4A8E-9F24-5C1A462426CE}). Please contact package vendor for assistance...
How can I fix that problem?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and Framework 2.0; but I don't have any oracle database installed locally.

first, close vs2005 IDE, try using gacutil supplied by VS2005, then restart vs2005.
the command looks like this,
gacutil /i Oracle.DataAccess.dllgacutil is available in SDK folder or vs2005 installation.
Oracle.DataAccess.dll is available in {ORACLE_HOME}/odp.net/bin/2.x

Cannot see Oracle Explorer after installing ODT10104

After installing ODT10104 on Windows XP I cannot see Oracle Explorer in my View menu group. I'm using VS 2005 and I installed ODAC92070 but still cannot see Oracle Explorer. The install of ODT was successful but an exception occured while getting vaues from my register. Here is an excerpt of the generated log

Can't find Oracle explorer in VS2005 View Menu

Hi,
I am newbie for vs.net. I want to develop a web based application , for which i want to use oracle as back end. I have installed oracle 9i in my system (stand alone).But most features of VS2005 are not working properly for oracle using Microsoft .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle. So I searched and came to know about odp.net. I have gone through a presentation available in oracle site prepared by christian.shay. So immediately i have downloaded odp.net. After installing i am not getting any item with name "Oracle explorer" in view of VS2005.
I looked into addins. But nothing found there. I am able to find help abt oracle in in[i] VS2005 Help.
could anybody help me plz.

Hi Jimmy,
Thnx for the reply.
sorry for creating a lilbit confusion. Ya I am talking abt "Oracle Developer Tools for .NET"
I thought it is supported by VS2005 also , but as per the presentation found in oracle site
"vslive2006_townsend.ppt" , in the 16th slide it is mentioned that
"Supports VS.NET 2002 and 2003
- VS 2005 (beta)"
and also in 22nd slide it is mentioned that "Visual Studio .NET 2005 support"
Thats why I assumed that it will work for "VS 2005".
Thnx for the info.

Just installed ODT 11.1.0.6.20 but can't find Oracle Explorer

I downloaded and installed the latest ODT but there is no Oracle Explorer under the View menu option of VS2008. Installation went fine with no errors. I could see the new debugging options under the Tools menu option. I even uninstalled just the developer's tool and reinstalled it and it's the same.
On my PC there are VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 and I chose VS2008 only for the ODT.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
"Oracle explorer" was the old way ODT worked. The current versions now integrated directly as a data source in the built in Server Explorer instead.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Error expanding tables in Oracle Explorer

I have an Oracle 9i database that I am connecting to remotely (the server is in Ohio and on a UNIX O/s, I am in Florida)
I can connect to a Local Oracle 9i Server with no problems ( it is running on a windows server)
when I try to expand the Tables in the Oracle Explorer in VS 2003 I get this error.
"An error occurred while expanding the node:
ORA-04063: view "SYS.ALL_XML_TABLES" has errors"
Any idea how to fix this?
I can expand the folders for Views, Functions, Procedures, and Packages without any problems.
Thanks in Advance

Glen,
Thanks for your response, I am getting this error when I run it from the queery window in the VS IDE.
ERROR
ORA-04063: view "SYS.ALL_XML_TABLES" has errors
from SQLPLUS I get the same error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04063: view "SYS.ALL_XML_TABLES" has errors
the database is Oracle 9i on a UNix box, (thats what I am told, I do not know the version but I am using the latest oracle 10g client with the VS 2003 Oracle Developer tools installed.

VERY slow performance in Oracle Explorer

Anything that i touch in the oracle explorer of visual studio 2003 is slow - extremely slow. Just expanding the treenode of tables is slow. On the same machine i have TOAD ticking away happily at a fast pace, but looking at the same database in oracle developer tools is almost impossible. Procedure windows are slow, but return with some patience. The query windows has yet to be seen open, havent had the patience to wait for it yet (>10minutes) and this is on a small five record two column test table.
And to make thing worse - the entire visual studio is locked during the blackout operations...
Help me, i would really like to use this tool!

Christian,
Thanks for your time and assistance.
1) Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
2) Yes
3) Here is the information for two of the tables:
Table empl_review_status contains 8 rows.
desc empl_review_status
Column Name Null? Type
REVIEW_STATUS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(255)
EMPL_LOGIN_USERID VARCHAR2(20)
LAST_CHANGE_DATE DATE
Table empl_review_template_item contains 574 rows
desc empl_review_template_item
Column Name Null? Type
TEMPLATE_SECTION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
TEMPLATE_ITEM_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
TEMPLATE_INPUT_TYPE_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
DISPLAY_TEXT VARCHAR2(2000)
EMPL_LOGIN_USERID VARCHAR2(20)
LAST_CHANGE_DATE DATE
When I clicked on each table to select it the delay today was 18 seconds for empl_review_status and 13 seconds for empl_review_template_item. The delay for "retrieve data" was 57 seconds and 33 seconds respectively. Delay was not determined by number of rows since the larger table loaded more quickly.
4) The Tables node opened in 2 seconds and contains 20 tables.
Best regards,
Lon

Using Oracle from MS SQL 2005

I am having a strange problem while running an SQL statement in MS SQL 2005 that uses a linked Oracle server. I am getting the following error:
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "OG" returned message "ORA-01403: no data found".
Msg 7346, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "OG"
I am getting the error on the following SQL statement (OG is the Oracle server):
SELECT Inv.AreaNo, Inv.CatType, Inv.CatNo, Inv.ItemNo, Inv.NumAvail, Inv.NumTotal, Inv.Active,
IH.AID, IH.NumOut, IH.DateOut, IH.WorkerOut, IH.NumIn, IH.DateIn, IH.WorkerIn,
CC.CatID, CC.CatName, CC.BinItem, CC.Active, OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
FROM ItemInventory AS Inv
LEFT JOIN CatCodes AS CC ON Inv.AreaNo = CC.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = CC.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = CC.CatNo
LEFT JOIN ItemHistory AS IH ON Inv.AreaNo = IH.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = IH.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = IH.CatNo AND
Inv.ItemNo = IH.ItemNo
LEFT JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
WHERE Inv.AreaNo = 0 AND Inv.CatType = 0
What's strange is that the following SQL statement works fine. The only difference between table ItemHistory (above) and ItemsOut (below) is that ItemHistory adds 3 columns that ItemsOut does not have. Other than that table the SQL statements are the same (as you can see).
SELECT Inv.AreaNo, Inv.CatType, Inv.CatNo, Inv.ItemNo, Inv.NumAvail, Inv.NumTotal, Inv.Active,
IO.AID, IO.NumOut, IO.DateOut, IO.WorkerOut, '1' AS NumIn, '1/1/1900' AS DateIn, '1' AS WorkerIn,
CC.CatID, CC.CatName, CC.BinItem, CC.Active, OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
FROM ItemInventory AS Inv
LEFT JOIN CatCodes AS CC ON Inv.AreaNo = CC.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = CC.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = CC.CatNo
LEFT JOIN ItemsOut AS IO ON Inv.AreaNo = IO.AreaNo AND
Inv.CatType = IO.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = IO.CatNo AND
Inv.ItemNo = IO.ItemNo
LEFT JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
WHERE Inv.AreaNo = 0 AND Inv.CatType = 0
As a test I tried just running an SQL statement against ItemsHistory and the Oracle table, thinking it might be something with ItemsHistory, but the following command also runs just fine:
SELECT ItemHistory.*, OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
FROM ItemHISTORY
LEFT JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
I'm not sure why the one SQL statement is erroring out with ORA-01403. I see no problems with it, as it is the same as the one that works except using a different table, and another SQL statement using the table in the erroring SQL works also. I'm stumped!
I am using the 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' provider in SQL 2005.
Thanks for any help you can give on this...

I've been testing it, and I've found that if I comment out 4 fields from the field list (all from the same table), it runs. As soon as I add any one of the 4 fields back into the select list, I get the Oracle error. I also found that I had to change the Oracle table from a LEFT JOIN to just a JOIN, or else I also get the Oracle error.
Here is the SQL (same as the previous post) with the 4 fields commented out, and the modified JOIN. Maybe that will give someone an idea, because it has me puzzled...
SELECT Inv.AreaNo, Inv.CatType, Inv.CatNo, Inv.ItemNo, Inv.NumAvail, Inv.NumTotal, Inv.Active,
IO.AID, IO.NumOut, IO.DateOut, IO.WorkerOut, IO.NumIn, IO.DateIn, IO.WorkerIn,
OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
--, CC.CatID, CC.CatName, CC.BinItem, CC.Active
FROM ItemInventory AS Inv
LEFT JOIN CatCodes AS CC ON Inv.AreaNo = CC.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = CC.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = CC.CatNo
LEFT JOIN ItemHistory AS IO ON Inv.AreaNo = IO.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = IO.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = IO.CatNo AND
Inv.ItemNo = IO.ItemNo
JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
WHERE Inv.AreaNo = 0 AND Inv.CatType = 0
