SqlPlus with ODBC

Hi all
I install Oracle9i Lite on WIN2000 Pro
I want to connect to database with sqlplus
through ODBC.
I use 'scott/tiger@odbc:polite' connection string
and get following error:
'ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed'
What this error meaning and how I can avoid it.
Thanks.

Thanks for reply.
But I want to use OCI with ODBC
and SqlPlus I use only for
testing purposes.

SQLPlus works, ODBC with IC gives 12154 error

I can connect no problem using this:
sqlplus.exe scott/tiger@//oracle-test.cue.<ourDomain>.com:1521/montest
But I can't get a successful connection test when trying to set up the ODBC source.
I get this error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(Interestingly, I had an ODBC connection testing fine and receiving inserts using Instant Client on this machine, but that DB got deleted, and I haven't been able to connect to any others since)
Also, I copied the following files from a machine on my subnet that has no problem connecting either via SQLPlus or ODBC.
[This is my sqlnet.org file:]

My paths are set up correctly as far as I can tell:
I have my TNS_ADMIN pointing to C:\InstantClient\network\admin (location of .ora files)
And my PATH has C:\InstantClient as it's first entry.
I've read a whole bunch of web pages concerning this error, but none of the suggestions have worked yet. Any help on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, I've been using the driver called 'Oracle in instantclient'. And I have run the odbc_install.bat script to get this driver added to the list of ODBC drivers. It told me "Oracle ODBC Driver is instaled sucessfuly", with both mizspeleengs as I've typed them.
Everything seems to be in place.
I would still very much like to know why the TNS Listener cannot "resolve the connect identifier specified. (Error 12154)"
My main folder is "C:\InstantClient"
My Path contains "C:\InstantClient"
I have ORACLE_HOME pointing to "C:\InstantClient"
I have SQLPATH pointing to "C:\InstantClient"
I have TNS_ADMIN pointing to "C:\InstantClient\network\admin"
Which is where I have my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora:
[listener.ora looks like this:]

# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

Running a batch file with the following in it:
sqlplus.exe scott/tiger@//10.0.20.12:1521/montest
allows me to successfully run SQL statements
I sure would appreciate any direction you can give.
Thank you.

File upload with ODBC

Hi,
I want to upload a file using only the ODBC functions available in PHP to a oracle DB (i'm using a blob column, if this is not correct, please tell me).
I tried uploading it as a "normal" query but it doesn't work, oracle gives error...
So i'm asking if someone could give some snippets of code, tips, links, anything about this issue. Or if this is simply not possible to do with ODBC...
Thanks in advance for your time

This might help.
$handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'],'r');
$file_content = fread($handle,filesize($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']));
fclose($handle);
$encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content));
then the $encoded variable would be used as you blob column value.
Then when retrieving the value you would need to base64_decode() the data to get it back into the original form.
Hopefully this helps.

Instant client with ODBC driver

Hi, I have problem with the instant client version 10.2 with ODBC driver. I have the instant client base package and ODBC package installed in my computer. the Oracle ODBC driver did appear in the ODBC driver list, when I test the connection with driver, it gives error "Unable to connect, SQLState=08004 [ORACLE] [ODBC] ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified" I have another computer which has Oracle 8i client installed and works fine. I copied sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora to the instantclient installation folder, same error appears. here is the contents of sqlnet.ora:
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oracle8i\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
here is the contents of tnsname.ora:
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oracle8i\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

barkeep =
(DESCRIPTION =

(CONNECT_DATA =

I test the host connection with telnet, it works.
can anybody out there walk me through how to set up instant client?
thanks.

Thanks Sanjay - I had this problem and your suggestion fixed it: setting the TNS_ADMIN did the trick.
Note: This was on a development PC which already had the Oracle Client drivers installed (so I already had a different TNS_NAMES.ORA in that installation).
It is worth noting that on my target deployment machine which DOESN'T have the Oracle Client drivers (just the InstantClient + Instant-ODBC) I didn't need to set TNS_ADMIN
I'm using the 11g InstantClient (11.1.0.6.0 32 bit)
Hope this helps someone, and thanks again Sanjay for posting :o)

Can I connect to SAP database directly with ODBC?

I need to read data from SAP and write them into ms sqlserver. I wrote a RFC in SAP and used VB.NET to call RFC. I wonder that the RFC efficency is very slow while reading a great lot data. RFC also cannot support complex condition string, and it cannot fetch my data flexibly.
I found that the user who was included in a user group "db<sid>adm" could connect to db2 udb with ODBC in VB6.0 or VB.NET. I also can use the SQL sentence to get data flexibly.
Please tell me whether I can use this user to read (just using select sentense) data from DB2 UDB directly, or whether I can use the newly created user to get data. Will this method cause any problem ?

> Will this method cause any problem ?
Pretty likely: yes, it will.
You may want to read this thread Retrive Data From SAP Using C Language first (and the blogs I refered to in it).
What it boils down to is: you're trying a super-low-level access to data in order to perform a high-level business data exchange.
You could as well hex-read the data files of the database or the blocks from your hard disks.
There are a bunch of options to remote access data in SAP systems and maybe your RFC can be tuned to better support your needs.
But don't move over to the 'dark side' of direct database access

Lars

Connect Lotus Notes with ODBC driver

I am trying to figure out connecting SQL Developer with ODBC connection ( set on to ODBC Data Source ) for lotus notes. I am able successfully connect through Excel with that connection. With SQL Developer , its asking for JDBC driver but lotus notes version (R5) what I am using does not support JDBC driver.
Is there any way to connect using ODBC data source for lotus notes.

No.
SQL Developer is a Java based tool and requires JDBC. Theoretically you could use the JDBC-ODBC bridge, but there would be no point. SQL Developer is an Oracle specific development and query tool which allows connection to selected other DBMSs in order to support migration to Oracle. Lotus Notes is not one of the supported systems.
SQL Developer is NOT a general purpose, multi-DBMS tool.

Registering db's with ODBC through Java code?

Hey, I have a project which uses an msacces database, I first have to register the database with odbc in windows, but I wonder if you can't do this with Java code instead of letting to user do some things he'd probably screw up while deploying the app.

nope, no api. You will need to JNI to native C++ code to effect things like ODBC setup, registry, and paths, etc. There are third party apps, $$, that you can find on google.com

How to spool a file in sqlplus with feedback off option?

Is there a way to spool a file in sqlplus with the feedback turn off? I want to capture all the logs, but do not want to see all commands and entries on my screen. When I set the feedback off, I get nothing in my logfiles due to the set feedback off option.

here's what i did
SET echo off
SET feedback off
SET term off
SET pagesize 0
SET linesize 200
SET newpage 0
SET space 0
col name format a120
SQL> spool test.log
SQL> @trunc_ref_tables.sql -- this script truncates tables
SQL> spool off
SQL> exit
As expected, there was no logs generated in the logfile with the set feedback off option. This is what was in my log file.
SQL> @trunc_ref_tables.sql
SQL> spool off
How do i see the list of tables that were truncated in my logfiles without havign to see the following on my screen.

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++, Bug in OLEDB ?

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++. The Code, which written in VB is working perfectly. Is there any different syntax in VC++ or bug in
OLE DB provider ?. I am using OraOLEDB 8.1.7 version.
Thanks
Mani
VB Code
' Enable PLSQLRSet property
Cmd.Properties("PLSQLRSet") = True
' Stored Procedures returning resultsets must be called using the
' ODBC escape sequence for calling stored procedures.
Cmd.CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}"
Set Rst1 = Cmd.Execute
VC++ Code (while execute it is giving error )
pCommand->CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}";
pRs1 = pCommand->Execute(NULL,NULL,adCmdStoredProc);

Hi
The odbc escape sequence for calling stored procedures works fine with VC++ also.

Database fileds are not coming when connecting with ado and they are coming when connecting with odbc

Post Author: yagya
CA Forum: .NET
Hi , I am using crystal report XI R2 in visual studio 2005 . Backend is sql server 2000. I have made a connection with odbc connectivity and using dsn. I am using a stored procedure as datasource of report. It is working fine all the database fields are available. Now when i try to connect with the ado connection having same stored procedure as datasource of report , I am not getting data fields. I dont know where is the problem in my stored procedure or in report. But when i connect through system dsn using odbc connectivity everything is working fine. A MAP filed dialogue box appears when i try to change the datasource location to ado from odbc.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

Not sure what I should do next...thanks for looking and your help.

Problem with sqlplus with whitespace in the path of the @ command

I'm running Oracle 11g on Linux and I'm trying to run a script which will create my database. This script runs fine on windows, but when I test it on Linux, I get the following error:
SP2-0556: Invalid File NameThe problem may be that the path to the file name has a space in it. I'm going to simplify the problem down to one of the many commands I run in the file to make it simple. The sample command I'm trying to run looks like this:
sqlplus [uname]/[pw] @'../database/My Schema/create_sequence.sql'the create_sequence.sql file has two simple create sequence commands that run fine by themselves. I strongly suspect it is due to the white space because when I change the directory name from My Schema to MySchema and alter the above sqlplus command accordingly, the script runs fine.
Like I said, this script works in windows with the spaces, but not in Linux. I suspect spaces may not be supported, but I was wondering if anyone knew any different or it there is a work-around?
side note: running a command like:
more ../database/My\ Schema/create_sequence.sqlor
more '../database/My Schema/create_sequence.sql'prints the contents of the file to the console as you would expect. So, I think this is sqlplus (and linux) specific.

On linux, you can't create directory that contains spaces between letters, like let say : fol der. Doing a mkdir fol der would create two folders,
one named fol and the other named der.
By information you provided , it's obvious that the exact and the correct full path to the create_sequence.sql file is ...database/MySchema/create_sequence.sql.
Can you position yourself in the directory where create_sequence.sql file is and type pwd to confirm the correct path?
