How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

Connect on an oracle database from another computer

hi all,
i installed oracle database 10g express as well as sql developer on one of my laptop. Everything is ok as of the moment.
Now, i want to access that oracle database from my another laptop. Is this possible? let me know what should i do in order to achieve this.
thanks.

i already tried the link from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm but didnt work (or maybe i missed something important).
What from the link did you try to follow? Did you try to follow the information in the link i posted, specifically ...
"4.4 Making Oracle Database XE Server Available to Remote Clients"
Once you have done that. You will need to know the IP or possible computer name of the computer on the network which is hosting the database (it would be easiest if the laptop with the database had a static IP assigned by your router, assuming this is a home setup, and you use that for your connection). You will need that information to create a new connection in SQLDeveloper on the laptop without the database installed.
Aside from that you may have to deal with windoze firewall issues and the like, but that removes this from being an Oracle question, you should be able to use google to deal with any issues you encounter in that.

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

Create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client

Hi,
How can we create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client?
i am using the oracle 11gR2
Thanks in Advance,
Sreekanth Polaka

Though I have not tried creating a database, try if its doable.
You can use OCI to perform SYSDBA operations.
So connect as OCI_SYSDBA and try executing the entire create database command.

How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application

Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.

Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo

Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.

Moving an Oracle Database from Solaris to AIX

Hi all,
I have been asked to move an SAP system using an Oracle database from
Solaris to AIX (on an IBM P590).
Most of the move is straightforward, except the Oracle database
transfer. It would make my life so much easier if I could simply
restore the Oracle datafiles from an off-line backup of the Solaris
system and then link it to a clean install of the Oracle binaries on
the AIX system, rather than have to do an export and import.
Is this possible, after all the AIX Oracle binaries would be the same
patch level as the Solaris binaries and the file systems would be the
same. Also as it would be an offline backup we would not have to do
any recovery, so the archive logs and the original redo logs would not
be required.
Does anyone know if this is possible or has actually executed it
successfully, any hints and tips on the gotchas would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
Chris aka BoobBoo

Hello Chris,
unfortunately you didn't write anything about your oracle version or your backup mechanism like RMAN,etc..
I think you will use Solaris on a SPARC architecture and not on x86? (same endian)
If you have RMAN and 10gR2 then you can use the "Database Transport Across Same Endian Platforms":
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/wnbradv.htm
> RMAN now supports the CONVERT DATABASE command, which can prepare a whole database for transport to a new platform that uses the same endian format. Database transport across platforms provides a faster and easier way to move databases from one platform to another than previous solutions requiring the use of Data Pump.
Metalinknote #413586.1 has a FAQ and a step on step guide.
If you have created your tablespaces under Oracle 10g (no oracle upgrade from previous releases!!) you can use the "Transportable tablespace feature" and copy the database files. SAP has published note #1035051 for that.

Stefan

Access oracle database from different classes in desktop / standalone app.

I am a bit confused as to what way to go. I am building a desktop application that needs to access an oracle database. I have done this in the past using code similar to the following:
        try {             DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());             Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(                     "jdbc:oracle:thin:@111.111.111.111:oracledb",                     "username", "password" );             // Create a Statement             Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();             ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(                     "select ... from ...");             while (rs.next()) {                 ReportNumberCombo.addItem(rs.getString(1));             } // end of rs while             conn.close();         } // end of try         catch( Exception e ) {             e.printStackTrace();         }
The problem I would like to resolve is that I have this code all over the place in my application. I would like to have it in one objects method that i can call from other classes. I can't easily see how to do this, or maybe at this point I'm just too confused.
I want to be able to change this connection info from a properties file which I have already done, not sure if this bit of information would change the answer to my question. I was also looking at the DataSource api, this looks like it is close to what I should use, what are your thoughts?
I would also like to if JNDI is only for web applications or would be appropriate for a desktop app.
Thank you for your help, I realize this is all over the place but I really need these topics cleared up!

I have tried exactly that and am getting an error which let me to believe it couldn't be done that way. Here is my code and error message:

        Port = props.getProperty("Port");
        Host = props.getProperty("Host");
        Username = props.getProperty("Username");
        Password = props.getProperty("Password");
//      prints properties to a file for troubleshooting

            DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
            // Create a Statement
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select .... WHERE ....'");
            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
            } // end of rs while

        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            Logger.getLogger(connWithProps1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ioe);
}The error I get is:

Although the URL prints out correctly and when I tried plugging in the URL manually, it works just fine. One other thing I noticed was the line "The file exists, or was created sucessfully" is output 3 times.
I will go back and change my code to properly close the resultset, thanks for catching that. Id rather use what I have instead of JNDI unless it's nesessary.

Accessing non-oracle databases from oracle

Is there any way to access from oracle to non-oracle databases and copy the data using COPY command?

Hi Nitin!
You can access these legacy applications as so-called external applications. Check out the Application Server Single Sign On guide.
