Accesing not Oracle DB using ODBC

Hi,
I was wondering if this is possible.
If yes, can you point where to find instrucctions how to do it.
Regards,

Ahhh, now we have a question ;).
The answer is heterogenous services. With that feature you can create a database link from oracle to any ODBC datasource.
http://www.google.de/search?q=oracle+heterogenous+services+database+link+access&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a
, specifically:
http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
P.S. : We actually used this feature to migrate data from MS Access and MS Excel to Oracle XE in a real world project on a tight schedule.
Regards,
~Dietmar.

  • How connect the oracle/Linux using ODBC

    I want to connect the Oracle which install on Linux using Odbc, so my win98 machine can connect with the oracle.
    But I don't know how to do ? May I install some Odbc driver in the Linux machine? and install odbc driver in my win98 machine?
    my email: [email protected]

    You may use this way:
    1. Start on the server (Linux) Net*8 listener (lsnrctl start)
    2. Install on the client (win98) Net*8 and configure it (Net8 Easy Configuration)
    3. Install on the client (win98) ODBC drivers for ORACLE (by ORACLE or others) and configure it

  • Executing multiple SQL statements fails using ODBC

    Executing multiple SQL statements will fail with error 'ORA-00911 invalid character' when connecting to an Oracle database using ODBC driver version 8.01.07.00.
    When I use either my application or the Oracle ODBC Test client utility connecting using ODBC driver version 8.01.07.00 I can only get a single CALL statement (as shown below) to execute:
    CALL BHInsert (TO_DATE('2003.07.23 10:04:28','YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS'),'BATCH_ID','1:CLS_FRENCHVANILLA-1','
    ','Event File
    Name','\\KILLIANS\BATCHCTL\SampleDemo1\JOURNALS\1.evt','','AREA1','','','','','','1','','','','','',' ','');
    When I try to execute the following string with multiple CALL statements (as shown below) it fails with the following error being returned - ORA-00911: invalid character
    CALL BHInsert (TO_DATE('2003.07.23 10:04:28','YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS'),'BATCH_ID','1:CLS_FRENCHVANILLA-1','
    ','Event File
    Name','\\KILLIANS\BATCHCTL\SampleDemo1\JOURNALS\1.evt','','AREA1','','','','','','1','','','','','',' ','');
    CALL BHInsert (TO_DATE('2003.07.23 10:04:28','YYYY.MM.DD
    HH24:MI:SS'),'BATCH_ID','1:CLS_FRENCHVANILLA-1','Version','Recipe Header','1.0','','AREA1',' ','
    ','','','','1','','','','','',' ','');
    CALL BHInsert (TO_DATE('2003.07.23 10:04:28','YYYY.MM.DD
    HH24:MI:SS'),'BATCH_ID','1:CLS_FRENCHVANILLA-1','Version Date','Recipe Header','5/18/2001 1:28:32
    PM','','AREA1',' ',' ','','','','1','','','','','',' ','');
    CALL BHInsert (TO_DATE('2003.07.23
    10:04:28','YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS'),'BATCH_ID','1:CLS_FRENCHVANILLA-1','Author','Recipe Header','Mark
    Shepard','','AREA1',' ',' ','','','','1','','','','','',' ','');
    I've tried adding a line feed in addition to the space at the end of each call but that doesn't seem to help. Also have tried unsuccessfully to change the seperator used between each call using various valid continuation characters.
    Executing multiple CALL statements from within Oracle's SQL Worksheet connecting as the same user and password, as my application executes successfully. However when I try this from within the Oracle ODBC test client, it fails with the same ORA-00911 error that I'm seeing in my application.
    I'm currently trying the more recent ODBC drivers, however any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you take the begin ... end block and run it using SQL*Plus?
    I can't think of any documentation that would specifically answer this question. I'm sure if you read & absorbed the ODBC Programmers Reference (2000+ pages) you'd be able to find out, but I don't know of a quick way to find out.
    You can enable SQL*Net tracing. There are a fair number of options for enabling this tracing-- http://tahiti.oracle.com has all the Oracle manuals online, which should give you enough info to configure exactly what you want.
    I would suggest, however, that you look into more performant/ scalable alternatives rather than going too far down this path. A block with lots of SQL statements with literals isn't going to make your database happy even if you get it to work.

  • Error fetching data from a foxpro db using Oracle Gateway for ODBC

    Hi.
    I have an 10.2.0.1 database an a 11.2.0 Oracle Gateway for ODBC installed and configured.
    The dblink test works fine, I can connect with the foxpro database because if I execute desc centros I can see the
    columns of table centros.
    The problem comes when I try to execute Select * from centros@fox1;
    A syntax error is returned ([Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error. {42000,NativeErr = 200})
    I paste down the output of the trace file with HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=255
    If I run select codcen from centros@fox1; another error is shown. Tell me if you want the other trace file.
    select codcen from centros@fox1

    The first issue I see is that Oracle 10.2.0.1 was never certified with DG4ODBC 11. Only 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 can be used as the Oracle database HS kernel requires a gateway compatibility patch and this patch is included in 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 Oracle database patch set.
    Then another error in the trace is that for each column description you have an error:
    hgopoer, line 233: got native error 0 and sqlstate HY091; message follows...
    [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]*Descriptor type out of range* {HY091}
    Exiting hgopoer, rc=0 at 2012/05/31-13:11:28
    hgodscr, line 615: calling SQLColAttribute got sqlstate HY091
    It seems it is not critical as DG4ODBC continues, but a more detailed analysis would require an ODBC trace.
    When looking at the table description it seems the column names are all in lower letters, for example: solar. So commonly Dg4ODBC needs to quote the names

    and according to the trace the FoxPro ODBC driver doesn't like these quotes and reports a syntax error.
    So this explains at least why select codcen from centros@fox1 will fail. In general the Oracle database is case insensitive and translates all object names to upper case and the select it will pass to the foreign database would be similar to:
    select CODCEN from CENTROS => which will fail as FoxPro is case sensitive. So the error message ORA-00904 (missing column name) is correct and the statement you need to use is:
    select "codcen" from centros@fox1;
    But this might lead again to the Syntax error you got earlier => You need to check which sign (single quote, back tick, double quote) Foxpro uses to quote object names and then set the gateway parameter HS_FDS_QUOTE_IDENTIFIER accordingly.
    To check which character can be used to quote column/table names you might use the Microsoft ODBc test utility which was distributed in the old MDAC 2.8:

    If you know where I can download the MS FoxPro ODBC driver, please let me know and I'll check.

  • MS Access .mdb connection using ODBC could not resolve the connect identifier ORA-12154

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to use MS Access .mdb file as source to my OWB application. I need to connect to the ms access .mdb file first using odbc. Here are the step I do:
    1. Define ODBC connectifity
         control panel -> admin tools -> data sources -> System DSN -> Add
         Choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) -> Finish
         Data source name: msaccess -> Database: Select -> .mdb file location (C:\MSAccess\att2000..mdb)
    2. Configure Listener
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
      (SID_LIST =
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
          (PROGRAM = extproc)
          (ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ONLY:C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclr11.dll")
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = msaccess
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
          (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = msaccess
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
          (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C:\app\Administrator
    3. Configure Oracle HS
         File name initmsaccess.ora
    # HS init parameters
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = msaccess

    Use Oracle's free Sql Developer
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    You can just issue a query like this
    SELECT /*csv*/ * FROM SCOTT.EMP
    Then just save the results to a file
    See this article by Jeff Smith for other options

  • How i install oracle client with ODBC using response file method

    Hi,
    I have managed to create a response file using OUI. Currently, I do not know what are the methods which i can install a group of computers using this response file. Any advise
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Tony

    Presumably, any method that allows you to remotely run code on the group of computers would allow you to do a silent install of the Oracle client and ODBC driver. I know Microsoft and various third parties sell such tools, but I'm not enough of a Windows admin to know anything about the relative benefits of the products in this category.

  • Not able to use SRW.USER_EXIT in oracle forms.

    Hi,
    Below is my requirement in oracle forms:
    I have a query form, which has Inventory Category Set field and Category 'From' and 'To' fields. Based on the values selected by the user for Category Set, possible combinations for Categories should be displayed in Cateogory 'From' and 'To' fields. Upon clicking the 'Find' button, only the items which belong to this category set and the range of Cateogies selected should be displayed.
    Note that 'Item Categories' Key flex field should be used here. Number of Segments for each Category set will differ. To acheive this, I have attached the Key flex field to the Cateogory 'From' and 'To' fields.
    In the PRE-QUERY trigger of the datablock, I have to use where condition to filter the items based on the category sets and categories. This where condition should be generated dynamically based on the search criteria.
    In oracle report, we have provision to use the below USER_EXIT to get the where condition to append to my PRE-QUERY statement.
    SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FLEXSQL CODE = "MCAT"
    OUTPUT = ":P_WHERE_CAT"
    APPL_SHORT_NAME= "INV"
    MODE = "WHERE"

    TABLEALIAS = "MCA"
    OPERATOR = "BETWEEN"
    OPERAND1 = ":P_CATEGORY_FROM"
    OPERAND2 = ":P_CATEGORY_TO"');
    But in forms, I am not able to use this USER_EXIT. Please let me know the alternate ways to get the where condition dynamically in forms.
    Thank you in advance.

    RAISE APPLICATION_ERROR built-in is raised in a DB procedure/function or trigger.
    You can write an ON-error trigger that will trap any DB error messages
    or
    You can use Dbms_Error_Code & Dbms_Error_Text for trapping the Error.

  • Error oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when using oracle as a database

    I am using oracle as database and weblogic 4.5. I have copied the classes12.zip file in lib directory of weblogic. I am getting the error that oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when i am importing these packages in a jsp file. what i need to do to import oracle driver packages?I put it in the classpath also.
    Please Advice!
    Thanks in advance
    AnuPama

    Hi Anupama,
    First of all I would be surprised if you would not like to use the connection pooling feature of weblogic (in which case you might not be needing the import the classes directly), and would like to open direct connections to your database. Anyways for doing that I would recommend you to check out the readme doc that ships
    along with the jdbc oracle (classes12.zip etc). I am giving an excerpt over here:
    These are a few simple things that you should do in your JDBC program:
    1. Import the necessary JDBC classes in your programs that use JDBC.
    For example:
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.math.*;
    2. Register the Oracle driver before before calling other JDBC APIs.
    (This is not needed if you are using the JDBC Server-side Internal
    Driver because registration is done automatically in the server.)
    To register the Oracle driver, make sure the following statement
    is executed at least once in your Java session:
    DriverManager.registerDriver(
    new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
    3. Open a connection to the database with the getConnection call.
    Different connection URLs should be used for different JDBC
    drivers. The following examples demonstrate the different URLs.
    For the JDBC OCI8 Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<database>",
    "scott", "tiger");
    where <database> is either an entry in tnsnames.ora or a SQL*net
    name-value pair.
    For the JDBC Thin Driver, or Server-side Thin Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database>",
    "scott", "tiger");
    where <database> is either a string of the form
    <host>:<port>:<sid> or a SQL*net name-value pair.
    For the JDBC Server-side Internal Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
    Note that the trailing ':' character is necessary. When you use
    the Server-side Internal Driver, you always connect to the
    database you are executing in. You can also do this:
    Connection conn
    = new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • Retrieving data from OBIEE server using ODBC

    Hello.
    I am having difficulty retrieving data from OBIEE 11g using the ODBC connection. My intention is to read OBIEE Server data via a SQL statement issued from an Oracle database using gateways.
    I have read and followed the material here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/odbc_data_source.htm#CACBFCJA
    I have also tried this from Excel 2007, but have not succeeded:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/import_data_from_obiee_to_excel
    I have setup a gateway in Oracle and a database link. Iknow it is connecting because when I change the password to something invalid, I get a message about not being able to connect due to username/password.
    I have taken a query from Answers (the advanced tab) and tried running it from Sql Developer. The nsqserver.log file ends up with the following Notification:
    [nQSError: 13013] Init block, 'DUAL Num (=3)', has more variables than the query select list.
    As an experiment, I am using the SampleApp, and have generated the following query in Answers:
    SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3 FROM (
    SELECT
    0 s_0,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB" s_1,
    DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB") s_2,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1- Revenue" s_3
    FROM "A - Sample Sales"
    ) djm ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST
    Is there a way to issue this query from a database client like SQL Developer? I have setup a database link called obiee via gateways to the ODBC connection, and add @obiee after the table name in the above query, but get the nqs error above.
    Thanks for any help. I can provide addl info if such would be useful.
    Ari

    That would explain my difficulty. I went to the link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/biee.htm#CHDIFHEE
    that describes the deprecated client. I am confused by the statement there:
    "one of the many widely available third-party ODBC/JDBC tools to satisfy previous NQClient functionality"
    My understanding of ODBC is not very strong, so please bear with me. The statement above is talking about a client tool, but there also needs to be an ODBC driver available for BI Server. I may be a bit confused between driver and client, and what piece nq handles. I don't understand the comment about third-party ODBC when it comes to the driver piece, as that must be coded for BI Server. When I go to create a new DSN, the only driver that makes sense for me to select is:
    Oracle BI Server 11g_OH<id>
    That all works fine to setup a DSN. But I am unable to connect from Excel, etc., using this DSN.
    Put more simply, should I be able to connect to BI Server via ODBC - not using the deprecated BI ODBC client, but using other clients? Is there ODBC connectivity at all in OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks,
    Ari

  • Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

    What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
    I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

    I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
    Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.

  • MS SQL Server/VB6 to Oracle 8i using OBDC

    OMW,

    would like to connect to Oracle in the same manner. Does the OMW
    do this, and if so are there any things I should know before
    attempting to use it in this application? I have purchased and

    some slight difficulties in the way Oracle handles Resultsets
    (RDO Components) compared to MS SQL.
    thanks

    Gary,
    There is some information in the faq (reproduced below), showing
    how the application may not need to be changed.
    Some of the functionality provided by the intersolve driver is
    now available in the oracle 8.1.5.3 odbc driver.
    Turloch
    Oracle Migration Workbench team
    from the faq (shipped with the workbench):
    How are result sets/dynasets returned to the calling program?
    The Oracle Migration Workbench parser adds an extra argument
    of type REF CURSOR for result sets/dynasets. This type is
    understood and can be
    manipulated by both PL/SQL and Oracle JDBC. Oracle8 release
    8.0.5 ODBC drivers support REF CURSORs which means that the
    additional argument must
    be explicitly handled by the application, and the client
    application code must be changed. However, some third-party
    vendors such as Intersolv supply ODBC
    drivers for Oracle that support REF CURSORs and can, in
    addition, implicitly make use of REF CURSORs for using result
    sets/dynasets. Therefore, no
    change is required in the client application code. This is
    illustrated in the following examples of an MS SQL Server stored
    procedure and its equivalent Oracle
    package and stored procedure as generated by the Oracle
    Migration Workbench parser.
    MS SQL Server Stored Procedure
    CREATE PROCEDURE byroyalty
    AS
    select au_id from titleauthor
    GO
    Oracle8i Package and Stored Procedure
    PACKAGE BYROYALTYPkg AS
    TYPE RT1 IS RECORD (
    au_id titleauthor.au_id%TYPE
    TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR RETURN RT1;
    END;
    PROCEDURE byroyalty(
    RC1 IN OUT byroyaltyPkg.RCT1)
    AS
    StoO_selcnt INTEGER;
    StoO_error INTEGER;
    StoO_rowcnt INTEGER;
    StoO_errmsg VARCHAR2(255);
    StoO_sqlstatus INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    OPEN RC1 FOR
    SELECT au_id FROM titleauthor;
    END byroyalty;
    The following example illustrates the typical ODBC code used
    by Intersolv to call the above MS SQL Server stored procedure.
    This code also works for the
    above Oracle8i package and stored procedure. Note that error
    handling must be added in a real application:
    SQLPrepare(...,'{call byroyalty()}',...)
    SQLExecute()
    SQLBindCol()
    SQLFetch()
    Comments:
    SQLPrepare(...,'{call byroyalty()}',...) is the ODBC SQL
    syntax used to execute stored procedures.
    SQLExecute()executes the stored procedure.
    SQLBindCol()assigns storage for result column 1 in the
    result set (au_id).
    SQLFetch() fetches the first record from the result set
    generated by the stored procedure.
    The following examples illustrate how to call the above MS
    SQL Server stored procedure with result sets/dynasets in Visual
    Basic using DAO and RDO on
    top of ODBC. This code works for Oracle8i packages and
    stored procedures if you use an Intersolv ODBC driver to
    understand Oracle REF CURSORs.
    DAO
    Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Dim sSql As String
    sSql = "{call byroyalty()}"
    'In Oracle ODBC driver use refcusor argument to get
    result set
    Set rCustomers = dbsServer.OpenRecordset(sSql,
    dbOpenDynamic)
    Text4 = rCustomers.Fields(0)
    theend:
    End Sub
    Please note, this example assumes that a DAO connection has
    been set up already.
    RDO
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
    StrSql = "{call byroyalty}"
    'in oracle odbc driver uses refcusor argument to get
    result set
    Set Ps = connx1.CreatePreparedStatement("PsTest",
    StrSql)
    Set Rs = Ps.OpenResultSet(rdOpenStatic
    Text3 = Rs!au_id
    Rs.Close
    End Sub
    Please note, this example assumes that an RDO connection has
    been set up already.

  • How to use ODBC SQLDriverConnect() without using tnsnames.ora file

    I have an ODBC application that connects to an Oracle 10g database. Currently, my SQLDriverConnect() function call uses the following connection string:
    DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient10g_home1}; DBQ=MyDB.world; DBA=W; UID=foo; PWD=bar
    This requires an entry in the tnsnames.ora file that looks like this:
    MyDB.world =
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server1.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
    (ADDRESS =
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server2.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
    (ADDRESS =
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server3.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
    (ADDRESS =
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server4.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = MY_SRVC))
    However, I would really like to be able to connect using ODBC without having to create that entry in the tnsnames.ora file. I have tried to substitute the DBQ=MyDB.world with the entire (DESCRIPTION=..... string from the original tnsnames.ora file, but it returns the error:
    ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    I have heard others are able to use sqlplus with no tnsnames.ora file and the do specify the entire (DESCRIPTION=.... string on the sqlplus connection string, but is this possible to do using the ODBC SQLDriverConnect() function? If so, do I need to use a different keyword/value pair other than DBQ=?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    How would that work in a load balanced configuration? Take a closer look at the tnsnames.ora example I included in my original post. I have 4 ADDRESS= sections to denote 4 servers that are part of the load balanced environment.
    Also, I'm not familiar with that syntax, I need to use the syntax supported by the SQLDriverConnect() API function, which looks like this:
    DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient10g_home1}; DBQ=MyDB.world; DBA=W; UID=foo; PWD=bar
    I don't know as SQLDriverConnect() would accept an alternative syntax. But the more important issue here is the ability to specify those 4 servers in the load balanced configuration as indicated by that tnsnames.ora entry.
