Oracle in OraHome92 driver

Hi
I had a Windows XP machine that was just upgraded to a new XP machine. On my old PC, I had an Oracle driver "Oracle in OraHome92" that is not available on my new PC. Is there a download specifically for this driver? I do not see any Oracle drivers from Oracle on my PC.
Paul

The ODBC driver won't do you any good without an Oracle client install. Download the Oracle client software and either select Administrator install, or do a custom install and select the ODBC driver (which will automatically pull in the rest of the client software as well).
Oracle's ODBC driver gets setup in the registry during install such that it is named after the home it gets installed into. Ie, you'll have an "Oracle in OraHome92" odbc driver only if your Oracle home name is "OraHome92". If you name your Oracle home FRED, you'll get an "Oracle in FRED" odbc driver.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Oracle in OraHome92 or Oracle in Ora9025

Hi,
I have users at another company site using Oracle in Ora9025 version SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.5.0. We are at Oracle in OraHome92 version 9.02.00.06.
Here is my problem. I have to set strDriver = fReadRegKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Oracle in OraHome92", "Driver") but that doesnt work in the far away group. I tried strDriver = fReadRegKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Oracle in Ora9025", "Driver") on a remote machine out there and that doesn't work. Access could not reconize the driver name.
I was able use strDriver = fReadRegKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Microsoft ODBC for Oracle", "Driver") but I dont know if this driver is 9i.
We are using window xp and need to read/write against oracle 10g. Does anybody know if Microsoft ODBC for Oracle is 9i? Or what I can use to get the Oracle in Ora9025 driver wroking?

The name of the Oracle driver depends on the name of the Oracle Home that was selected during installation. There could well be multiple ODBC drivers in multiple Oracle Homes on the same machine.
If there is no consistency in the naming of the Oracle Homes, you'd have to look up the name of the Oracle Home. There are a variety of places to get this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
has entries for all the ODBC drivers in the system. You could look for an "Oracle in" entry (or entries). Or you could look for an "Oracle in" entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers
Or, under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
there will be a key
KEY_<<Oracle Home name>>
that will in turn have
ORACLE_HOME_KEY and ORACLE_HOME_NAME values

Bug in Oracle JDBC thin driver (parameter order)

[ I'd preferably send this to some Oracle support email but I
can't find any on both www.oracle.com and www.technet.com. ]
The following program illustrates bug I found in JDBC Oracle thin
driver.
* Synopsis:
The parameters of prepared statement (I tested SELECT's and
UPDATE's) are bound in the reverse order.
If one do:
PreparedStatement p = connection.prepareStatement(
"SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = ? and second = ?");
and then bind parameter 1 to "a" and parameter to "b":
p.setString(1, "a");
p.setString(2, "b");
then executing p yields the same results as executing
SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "b" and second = "a"
although it should be equivalent to
SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "a" and second = "b"
The bug is present only in "thin" Oracle JDBC driver. Changing
driver to "oci8" solves the problem.
* Version and platform info:
I detected the bug using Oracle 8.0.5 server for Linux.
According to $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/README.doc that is
Oracle JDBC Drivers release 8.0.5.0.0 (Production Release)
* The program below:
The program below illustrates the bug by creating dummy two
column table, inserting the row into it and then selecting
the contents using prepared statement. Those operations
are performed on both good (oci8) and bad (thin) connections,
the results can be compared.
You may need to change SID, listener port and account data
in getConnecton calls.
Sample program output:
$ javac ShowBug.java; java ShowBug
Output for both connections should be the same
--------------- thin Driver ---------------
[ Non parametrized query: ]
aaa
[ The same - parametrized (should give one row): ]
[ The same - with buggy reversed order (should give no answers):
aaa
--------------- oci8 driver ---------------
[ Non parametrized query: ]
aaa
[ The same - parametrized (should give one row): ]
aaa
[ The same - with buggy reversed order (should give no answers):
--------------- The end ---------------
* The program itself

Oracle Jdbc Thin driver and nls suppot

Hello,
I have a hungarian database with nls_lang variable set to hungarian. I'm trying to do a jdbc connection using classes12.zip
but I'm getting the hungarian characters converted to question marks or other characters.
I read suggestions that I must include the nls_charset12.zip in my classpath too. So I did that but I'm still having the same problem.
What is missed??
How do I get the right hungarian charachters without any conversion.
This is becoming frustrating and I'm not able to solve it yet.
Thanks for your help

One more question -
Can we use Oracle JDBC OCI driver? We do not have any appletes...
Does it have firewall issues too? Is there any other driver that
we can use?

Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4

Hi,
It would be nice if someone please guide me to the download of Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4.
Thanks in anticipation

user566773,
As far as I know, all Oracle JDBC drivers are meant to be backward compatible.
According to the table on the following Web page, the latest Oracle JDBC driver can be used with Oracle 9.2.0.x DBMS.

Oracle JDBC Thin Driver and Firewall Problem

Hi!
We have Oracle 8.1.5 and Websphere App Server. There is a
firewall between the two. A servlet creates a connection pool
(not that of Wesphere's). The frontend is JSP/HTML (no applets).
The servlet uses the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for DB Connections.
The problem is - Once the connection is freed, the connection
pool is not being able to retrieve it and hence it created
another one, thus reaching the max. # of connections and the
system hangs. Restarting the DB service flushes the connection
and the application starts running again...
There was a similar problem discussed in this forums long ago. I
have not yet tried mentioning the firwall port and IP in the
connection string. But apart from that, is there any other
setting I need to do (on firewall or for the connectionstring)
to deal with this problem?
Someone had suggested to punch a hole in the firewall for the DB
port - but we can not really do that in the current scenario...
I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience
regarding how they resolved this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vijaya.

Oracle JDBC Thin Driver Memory leak in scrollable result set

Hi,
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with oracle thin jdbc driver (classes12.zip) with jre 1.2.2. When I try to use the scrollable resultset and fetch records with the default fetch size, I run into memory leaks. When the records fetched are large(10000 records) over a period of access I get "outofmemory" error because of the leak. There is no use increasing the heap size as the leak is anyhow there.
I tried using optimizeit and found there is a huge amout of memory leak for each execution of scrollable resultsets and this memory leak is propotional to the no of records fetched. This memory leak is not released even when i set the resultset,statement objects to null. Also when i use methods like scrollabelresultset.last() this memory leak increases.
So is this a problem with the driver or i am doing some wrong.
If some of you can help me with a solution to solve this it would be of help. If needed i can provide some statistics of these memory leaks using optimize it and share the code.
Thanks
Rajesh

This thread is ancient and the original was about the 8.1.7 drivers. Please start a new thread. Be sure to include driver and database versions, stack traces, sample code and why you think there is a memory leak.

Sql_trace does not work for Java app using Oracle JDBC thin driver

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. I enabled sql trace at instance level by setting sql_trace and timed_statistics to true in init.ora. I restarted the db instance. I wrote a stand-alone java application which used Oracle JDBC thin driver(classes12.zip) to make a connection to my db instance, do some select statements, and close the connection. There were no trace files generated in the folder specified by udump_dest variable. However, if I used sqlplus or dba studio, I saw trace files generated. Has anyone got Oracle sql trace work for JDBC calls from java apps.
Thanks in advance!

How does Oracle JDBC thin driver handle numbers via getString?

Hi,
I have a query regarding how numbers are handled by the oracle jdbc thin driver. The issue I am facing is with regards to the decimal separator (. is en_US and , in pt_BR)
e.g. Consider the below code,
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(...);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select value from test_table1");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println (rset.getString(1));
test_table1 has a single column of sql type 'number' with a single row having value "123.45"
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ".,"
Database version = 10.2.0.2.0
There is a (generic) method to which a ResultSet is passed and it returns a dictionary of key value pairs. All column values from the ResultSet are retrieved using getString method of ResultSet.
My question is whether the jdbc driver formats numbers (based on the locale) before returning it as a string as part of the getString method?
e.g.
java -Duser.language=pt -Duser.region=BR TestJDBC
prints "123.45" and not "124,45"
Is there a reason why getString always retrieves a number column value with '.' as the decimal separator?
To help make things a bit more clear, all the column values retrieved are then converted into an XML (and hence the conversion to string)
At present, the only way I see out of this is to handle numbers differently.
i.e. something similar to,
if (resultsetmetadata.getcolumntype .. = double OR float OR int OR long.. )
NumberFormat.getInstance().format(rset.getDouble(1));
Is there a better way to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Binoy

user565580,
As has been already stated, Oracle does not have data-types INTEGER or SMALLINT, only NUMBER.
So even though Oracle lets you write INTEGER, it really creates a NUMBER.
(As Joe mentioned.)
Other databases don't have a NUMBER data-type, they have INTEGER, SMALLINT, etc.
Originally, Oracle database only had three data-types:
CHAR
DATE
NUMBER
If you're going to be working with Oracle database, then you need to adapt yourself to its limitations.
So you'll probably need to define NUMBER data-types using scale and precision.
(As Kuassi mentioned.)
Good Luck,
Avi.

IF YOU USE ORACLE'S OCI DRIVER...

          Hi. Pardon the shouting. BEA wants to know how to support you as well as possible.
          Right now, we want to know of customers who are using Oracle's JDBC driver (not
          ours), and using it in the type-2 OCI mode, not as the thin driver.
          If you are such, please respond to this post and/or email me. I have no questions
          at this time, I just want to get a sense of who/how many of you there are. This may
          influence how much driver-specific QA we do.
          thanks,

Change expired password using oracle jdbc thin driver

Hello,
I have a java program that uses the oracle jdbc thin driver (ojdbc6 - version 11.2.0.3) for database connection. My question is if I have any possibility to change an expired password (java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28001: the password has expired) using the thin driver - NOT OCI?

No - the thin driver doesn't have any password management features.

How to install Oracle Lite ODBC driver without connecting the mobile server

My Oracle Lite version is 10g R3.
I am using branch office version application.
I wanted to connect oracle client database(.odb file) via Lite DSN in a windows XP machine without installing the client in that device.
Some of my users wanted to access the client database from backend which requires a DSN entry in that device.Oracle Lite ODBC gets registered in the device only when we do a setup from the mobile server or if Oracle 10g Lite MDK is installed.
I do not want either of this to be done in my user PC. I wanted a ODBC utility which will register oracle Lite ODBC Driver (Normal & Cleint) in the user PC so that i can manually create and configure the DSN.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Regards,
Ashok Kumar.G

Getting error with oracle oci type driver

Hi,
while I'm using the oracle oci type driver I got the error but it works fine with the thin driver.
so where should I the information regard this.I'm working with oracle 8i.
with
raghu

while I'm using the oracle oci type driver I got the
error but it works fine with the thin driver.What is the error ?
so where should I the information regard this.I'm
working with oracle 8i.As long as you have the 8i client set up properly, the JDBC OCI drivers will work. To test just go to the command prompt and try tnsping and/or sqlplus to connect to your DB.
Post your JDBC URL and the exception you are getting if you are still having problems.
