  • 32 bit / 64 bit ODBC dilemma

    I have been trying to figure out why my JAVA application works fine on some machines but not on others when the program tries to connect to an ACCESS database. I have read up on the different drivers that appear if you bring up the 32 bit list using c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe versus the 64 bit list from the control panel.
    On a machine that has the problem, I get this error message when trying to connect:
    Data source name not found and no default driver specified
    The code is using this connection string: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\DataBases\ Traing3.mdb;
    If I go to the 32 bit drivers and create a DSN and then use this connection string: jdbc:odbc:MyDSNdb, I get the following error:
         The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and the Application
    What I have found is the machines that do not work have a 64 bit JRE installed and the ones that work have a 32 bit JRE. I have taken an non-working machine, uninstalled the 64 bit JRE and replaced it with the 32 bit JRE and the program runs fine using both connection strings listed above.
    My questions is: What do I need to do in order to make the application run which has a 64 bit JRE? I would also like to add, that these machines typically are running 32 bit MS Office bundles.

    A 64-bit JRE cannot use 32-bit ODBC drivers, as a 32-bit JRE cannot use 64-bit ODBC drivers.
    64-bit Windows includes only a 32-bit MS Access ODBC driver. If you start ODBC Administrator from the Control Panel, you will open the 64-bit ODBC Administrator. If you go to the section "Drivers", you will see that there is no MS Access driver. If you start the ODBC Administrator from %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\Odbccad32.exe, you will open the 32-bit ODBC Administrator and if you go to its "Drivers" section, you will see an MS Access driver (which is a 32-bit one).
    Have a look at this article, it is very informative (though it is very old), and put attention on the last paragraph in the "Symptom 2" section:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976
    If you want to use a 64-bit JRE and an ODBC driver, you must install a 64-bit MS Access ODBC driver. However, many sources claim that there is no such driver, but only a 32-bit driver exists.
    Why do not you use a pure JDBC driver instead of a JDBC-ODBC bridge?

  • Re: 32 Bit ODBC Driver for Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

    Hi,
    Were you able to resolve the problem with these troubleshooting measures ?
    Please let me know since i am facing similar issues like yours.
    I am using a Windows 7 64 bit and from QTP installed on this machine ,  i am trying to connect to Oracle database.
    Now initially i installed a 64 bit ODBC for Oracle . But when i did that and ran the Script below :
    Set objDatabase = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")
    objDatabase.open "DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1} ; DATA SOURCE=Oracle; SERVER= xyz ; DATABASE=abc1; UID=abc ; PASSWORD= abc123;"       
    rs.Open "select * from tablename", objDatabase
    'result1 = objDatabase.Execute("select * from tablename")
    'msgbox result1
    Do while not rs.eof
    print rs.fields("columnname")
    rs.movenext
    Loop
    print rs.fields("columnname")
    it gives me an error
    “[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application”
    So i am assuming that i need to install the 32 bit ODBC drivers for Oracle as well in addition to the already installed 64 bit drivers ..
    Any thoughts on this ?

    64 bit apps need 64 bit Oracle client software.
    32 bit apps need 32 bit Oracle client software.
    You should be able to tell the bit-ness of the app by checking the Process tab in task manager to see if it has *32 next to it.
    You can install both 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle client software on the same box, but you need to do it into different homes, and different oracle_base should also be used.
    There isnt an Oracle client install bundle that installs both, you'll need to do each separately.
    Hope it helps,

  • How to set 32-bit ODBC to crystal report in 64-bit OS

    hello,
    Previously, I have asked for the CR export question after OS change from WINXP 32 bit to WIN2003 64 bit, and I configurate the 32 bit ODBC administrator at the server and tried to run program to generate simple report, just use CR's own datasource Xtreme Sample Database 11.5. Unfortunately, the program pop up the error message below.
    IM002:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
    Error in File C:\DOCUME1\Temp\LOCALS1\Temp\1\CrystalReport1 {20D21A9C-A4AD-4175-81A4-3A25E2D463A0}.rpt:
    Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
    So I assume, the program will look up for the default ODBC 64 bit for use only. please advise how to set the program to get the 32 bit ODBC to generate report.
    Thanks.

  • Accessing 64-bit Oracle from 32-bit ODBC

    Hi
    I am installing a software using 32-bit ODBC for connection to Oracle.
    The server has been installed by our client and has the following specs:
    - AMD Opteron Processor 280
    - Windows server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition SP2
    - Oracle 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit
    - Both a 32-bit and a 64-bit client has been installed
    Using the 32-bit ODBC administrator I can add the "Oracle in OraClient10g_home1" driver, but I can't find the right database, only lots of other databases our client has on other servers.
    If I go to the 64-bit ODBC administrator I can find the right database and noting else, using the driver "Oracle in OraClient_home".
    How can I get the 32-bit ODBC client to connect to the 64-bit database?
    Regards
    Leidulf

    Hi
    I did that, I entered the following into the tnsnames.ora, as this was how it was entered in the 64-bit client:
    DKMVKK =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = krhsrvora02)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = DKMVKK)
    Now I find this in the 32-bit ODBC administrator and the "Test Connection" is successful. And fails if I enter the wrong password, so I know it is correct.
    But still I can't connect using the software that worked well on the previous server (32-bit), and using the same credentials and database name. I also have installed an independent SQL viewer that connects via ODBC, this does not work either, getting the ORA-12154.
    I have also tried to change the HOST to the IP address with no luck.
    The database and the client runs on the same machine.
    What can be the problem?
    Regards

  • Windows 7 Enterprise with Visual Studio 2008 and 32 bit ODBC access

    I have a 32 bit ODBC used to access Progress databases. We have to use the 32 bit driver.   My development had been run on XP in the past with no issues.  I have moved to a Windows 7 Enterprise workstation currently and cannot access
    through my app. The ODBC was installed as 32 bit through the SysWow64\odbcca32.exe with no issues.  I have tried to run my app with the x86 option but it still does not see the ODBC.  I went in and created a fake ODBC in the 64 bit interface
    and the app did see that ODBC so the app is running in 64 bit mode.  How can I force this app to run as 32 bit on my machine?  Thanks in advance.

  • 32 bit vs 64 bit odbc connection problems

    Good morning,
    I am trying to connect a powershell script that worked fine on a 32 bit system, but now will not work on a 64 bit system.  This script connects to a odbc connection and connects to a remedy ticket system and pulls information to move over to my Outlook

    I would appreciate it if someone had some insight to offer.  I've looked around and have created the ODBC connection on the 32 bit odbc version c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.  Doesn't seem to have changed anything.  Ive created it both
    as a user and system DSN.

    Add the below code in to your Script.
    if ([environment]::Is64BitProcess -eq $True)
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "script filename"
    Exit
    Note: The path I used is for Windows 7, you need to figure out the path for your OS.

  • Linked servers:Using 64 and 32 bit ODBC providers concurrently

    I have a very odd problem that I hope someone can help me with.  I have a 64 bit odbc MySQL driver.  Unfortunately, although I can connect to the data source from the control panel, the linked server cannot connect to the MYSQL data source.  The
    funny thing is that other linked servers (using the same odbc driver) have no problem connecting to their respective hosts.  The problem seems seems to be between the 64 bit linked server and the host (a shoretel IP phone database that runs on top of
    windows).  I know that the 32 bit driver used to work, but when I rebuilt the server to 64 rather than 32 bit the linked server failed.  What I am trying to do is to use both 64 bit driver and 32 bit driver concurrently (I have installed the 32 bit
    version using the WOW 32 bit odbc tool, but because the SSMS provider dialog only allows me to use the 64 bit system dsn.  I am wondering if I can get the 32 bit version to work as well using a user rather than system dsn.  Is this possible?  I
    can send screenshots of the problem if needed.  Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

    What I am trying to do is to use both 64 bit driver and 32 bit driver concurrently
    You can not. You can only use provider of the same 32/64 bit architecture as the SQL Server have.

  • Establish 32-bit ODBC connection to 64-bit Oracle 11g database

    Hi Everyone,
    Just to set the scene:
    PC with Windows 2003 server x64 OS installed, Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7 64-bit installed and MS Office 2007 installed.
    I am looking for advice on the best way to establish an ODBC link so that MS Access 2007 (32-bit) can connect to the Oracle 11g (64-bit) database.
    There are known issues, see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976] (which I have hit) when attempting to use a 64-bit ODBC DSN within MS Access 2007. This means that I need to setup and install an Oracle 11g 32-bit ODBC driver to be used against the Oracle 11g database (TNS listener also running 64-bit).
    Any thoughts on the best approach I should take to do this?
    Regards,
    Leigh.

    The more information section of the MS support article doesn't give me much to go on other than to explain the differences in how user and system DSNs are displayed and managed between the 2 different bit versions of ODBC administrator and how this information is stored in the different registries (64-bit and WOW64).
    I have been able to install 32-bit Oracle11g instantclient and its ODBC driver successfully and then in turn create the 32-bit ODBC DSN, however I am unable to connect to the 64-bit database when I attempt to test the DSN. I have updated the Windows PATH environment variable to include both the path of the Oracle11g DB server and instantclient homes as well as creating a TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to the location of the Oracle11g TNSNAMES.ORA and the 64-bit 11g listener. However despite this I still get the error when testing the DSN:
    Unable to connect
    SQLState=S1000

    Hi Josep,
    You can follow the below link.
    Just check if the version of oracle is supported with 64 bit version.
    Else just follow the below:
    The issue has been identified and tracked.If Business Objects Enterprise is installed to a location containing brackets in the folder path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect to any Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2., do not function properly with any application which has brackets in its folder path.
    Resolution :
    There are two options to resolve this:
    When installing Business Objects Enterprise, please choose an install path that does not contain brackets such as C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database client.
    This issue is Oracle bug 3807408 and can be fixed by applying 10.2.0.1 Patch 6. This can be downloaded from Meta link if you have an account:
    http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5059238
    Just copy   the  link and down load the patch from the oracle, for this you need to be registered in the oracle product download site.
    Hope this helps you.

    Naveen.

  • 32 bit ODBC for DEC Rdb V4.2

    Hi,
    I support a client who still runs DEC Rdb V4.2. I have a Delphi application that provides some access to the database.
    I only have the 16 bit ODBC driver that shipped with Rdb V4.2 and want to move to a full 32 bit implementation.
    What are my options? Is there a 32 bit ODBC driver for the old DEC Rdb V4.2? Can I update the SQL Services package to get the 32 bit driver?
    Any advice or suggestions on where to look for a solution would be appreciated.

  • Cant see 64 bit odbc data source

    hi..

    i created 64 bit odbc data source from syswow64>odbcat32
    but; in designer trying create a odbc connection for this data source but i cannot see this data source..just see 32 bit odbc data source.
    whats the problem.
    thanx in advance..

    Hello,
    When using the Universe Designer on the work station you are running it in 32 bit and therefore needs the 32 bit DSN and client. Once you publish it to the BOE Server then it is using the 64 bit connector.
    So install the 64 bit client tools on your BOE Server and name the 64 bit DSN exactly the same as your 32 bit DSN on the work station and then it should work.
    Or rename the 32 bit DSN on your work station the same as your BOE Server.

  • ITunes 10.1 (64-bit) slow performance

    Hello all,
    I have recently bought a new pc, a very fast machine (see details below), but I'm experiencing bad performance with iTunes 10.1 (64-bit) for windows.
    I don't have a lot of stuff in iTunes, I have about 120 apps, 500 songs, 1200 photos, couple of ringtones and 0 videos in my library. The whole iTunes interface responds slowly. Like clicking on Music, Videos, my iPhone in the side menu makes iTunes freeze for a couple of seconds and then switches to the screen. Even after loading a screen iTunes is freezed for a seconds before it's responsive.
    I've googled around for a while, and got some tips to disable some options in the preference window, so I've set all unnecessary things off, like: crossfadings songs, automatic update checking, looking for devices, automatic organizing, ping, genius, shared libraries, etc. but it doesn't speed up iTunes much.
    It gets even worse whenever I connect my iPhone 3G (Fw 4.2.1, 16GB, Black). iTunes simply freezes for like half a minute and the pc makes a few beeping noises because of connecting an usb-device. Even Windows 7 slows down a lot while connecting. iTunes gets responsive once my iPhone appears under devices in the side menu.
    Software I have constantly running in the backround are: AVG anti-virus free edition, SQL Server 2008, Steam and Skype. Turning off these softwares doesn't make a difference as well. There are no virusses or whatever on my pc. I let AVG anti-virus do a complete scan like once a week.
    Taskmanager shows iTunes using about 240,000K of memory, followed by steam with 70,000k of memory and skype with 30,000k of memory.
    Anyone else experiencing slow performance or know how to resolve this ?

    Same with me! I recently bought a new laptop, and iTunes 9 was working just fine. It takes like 5 seconds to scroll down one line. Clicking on different tabs and things takes forever as well. I am not sure what is causing it yet, but like you, I have disabled all sorts of iTunes settings which has not helped yet. Hopefully Apple will fix this problem soon! Let me know if you find a way to solve this.

  • 9.1.3 pretty much ruined (32/64 bit) Logic performance?

    I've had a look around through some threads and it seems that a lot of people are having similar problems. Ever since updating to 9.1.3, Logic has gone horribly wrong, making the CPU spike for no reason, causing freezing on playback, random clicks and pops occurring during playback, and is basically unusable with these bugs. I'm not sure if this is also the case in 32 bit, but here is what I am running into:
    Project info:
    7 tracks total. Steinway Piano MIDI track, 6 audio tracks of guitar and bass.
    Plugins on each channel: Compressor & EQ.
    Running project and audio files off of a G-Tech 1TB Hard Drive, 32MB Buffer Size/Cache, Firewire 800.
    iMac i7 2.8GHz Quad Core, 27" 1TB HDD 12GB RAM.
    Logic Buffer Size = 128.
    Audio Card: M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
    When pressing space bar for playback, every now and then (lets say 1 out of every 10 playbacks) Logic will freeze for about 2 or 3 seconds, the disk will show high activity, CPU and Disk I/O spikes will rise to maximum, and then after 2-3 seconds have passed, Logic will resume playback whilst the CPU and I/O spikes go back to normal. I had this issue with Logic before the 9.1.3 update, but it was only about 1 in 50 playback tries. Now it has become a lot worse.
    I really do hope this bug gets fixed ASAP, because I am finding it impossible to produce music if my music isn't playing back!

    Hello all,
    I have been having the exact same problem on my 2008 2 x 2.8g quad core (ie. 8 core) Mac Pro. I have 10 gig Ram and am running SL 10.6.4
    Since installing 9.1.3 playback in one particular project (which I had almost finished mixing down... Doh!!) freezes and I am hit with System overload errors in 64-bit Logic. The CPU / Disk I/O meters in the System performance window is sluggish and effectively I can't play back the track at all.
    Try Freezing some instrument tracks.
    I have tried changing the processor threads option between automatic, 8, 6, 4 and 2 cores and still no fix.
    I have also tweaked latency buffers, processor bandwith and have performed disk permissions repair in the system utility and still nothing!
    In the Audio prefs, set the *i/o buffer* to 1024 and the *Process Buffer Range* to Large.
    I would be most grateful for ANY help anyone here could provide since now Logic is completely un-usuable for me, and well, my clients aren't exactly impressed!
    Completely unusable? Exaggeration also is an art...
    unfortunately i didn't make a backup of 9.1.2 before upgrading, so can;t revert back.... definitely learnt my lesson for the future!
    The more you learn, the more your clients will be impressed.
    You might be able to revert by reinstalling the Logic app from your disks and updating it again to 911 or 912 - should be possible.
    Just trash the Logic app using AppCleaner.

  • Size of RAM in Win 7 64 Bit affecting performance in CS4

    Does anyone know how the size of RAM will assist  CS4 performance - particularly for H264 file encoding?
    I am running an i7-930 processor and 6GB of XMS3 Corsair RAM in a ASUS P6T motherboard - on Win 7 64 Bit
    Would increasing RAM to a full 12GB have any significant effect - or would this be hardly noticeable?
    Finally - for anyone that has upgraded to CS5 what are the practical benefits - any performance improvements noticeable?
    In particular I find Encore CS4 slow.
    Rgds

    I kinda think that sometimes with ram issues you have to consider the front side bus speed too...and the cpu speed of course..but the FSB and specs of the ram to match more or less the most you can get out of the FSB I think has a big influence on your performance.
    ps...think of the FSB as a sort of pipe that you can shove stuff through just so fast...and it's linked to ALL the stuff going on between the cpu, ram, gpu ( if used ) and so on...sooo, it's sometimes the thing that determines the overall performance in terms of speed

Maybe you are looking for
