Access - Oracle databases synchronization

I want to synchronize my Access database with its Oracle copy. I want the synchronization to occur on a scheduled basis. Is there any oracle tool for this? I want to test this with Oracle database 10g Express Edition.

First, architecturally, this seems a bit suspect. Access should be able to manipulate data in Oracle directly over ODBC, so it isn't normally necessary to synchronize from Access to Oracle. You'd normally have the Access application directly modifying Oracle. If you need to operate in some sort of disconnected mode (i.e. no connectivity between the application and Oracle for large stretches of time), Oracle Lite, TimesTen, or one of Oracle's other embedded databases would generally be easier to use because they've designed synronization capabilities into those products.
If you are going to use this sort of architecture, you could use Heterogeneous Connectivity to create database links from Oracle to the Access database using ODBC. You would then be able to query the Access database from Oracle and extract the changes (assuming, of course, that Access maintains a timestamp that indicates that a row has changed or that you're willing to have Oracle pull over all the records every time and then implement logic in Oracle to compare those records against yesterday's data to look for changes).

How to access Oracle database using UNIX?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to access Oracle database Oracle 8i that is hosted on unix server via unix command line?
Thanks,
Willy

Well, Oracle probably has a command line tool. I think it's called sqlplus or somesuch. Check you Oracle docs.
Of course, given that this is a Java forum, it's remotely possible that you're actually asking about accessing the database from a Java program.

Access Oracle database on ARM platform

Hi
I am trying to access Oracle database on ARM platform.
Is anyone has experience about that?
It seems that the instance client has no ARM version.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Pro*C and oci are cool but I recomend the Oracle Template Library.
It is much simpler and easier to use.
It is just one .h file which includes a set of classes which are a thin wraper over oci.
Try it, you don't know what you are missing.
(That goes for the oci and pro*c advocates too :)

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:

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.

XGEN accessing Oracle Database

I'm an Oracle Account Manager and I have a customer with a XGEN application accessing Informix Database. They want to keep this application and move from Informix to Oracle, and this application must access Oracle. Does any one have an experience like this?

Hi Bharathwaj,
Thanks for the reply. it has really helped me a lot.
i wanted to ask one more thing...
In our webdynpro application (deployed on WAS) we are required to fetch and update data in oracle database. The restriction here is we are required to use DSN (provided by Primavera Inc..for connection). We are using connection pool, where we have configured data source with DSN(system DSN) with appropriate parameters.
We have tested the dSN for extensive data transfer from our local jvm's...but when used with J2EE on WAS..its not that stable, when used to transfer data say for more than 2-3 times, gives SQL Exception with general error. Then after, when J2EE engine is stopped...it starts working fine...then again after when J2EE started, same problem occurs...
Is it some problem with memory??
Because our server has 1 GB RAM + 4 GB VM there fore total 5GB available memory. Previous performance of server was very slow due to wrong VM setting...
Now also the performance is not that good...jalunch.exe consumes upto 1.4 gB of memory..is it ok..or something wrong???
Is there alternative best way to talk to external oracle database from WAS J2EE...or connection pool is the best possible method..
If there are any settings to be done on server also..
fine..we have complete access of it...
Please help..

How to access Oracle database with perl ?

Hi Anyone/Everyone,
This may not be the best place to post this, but I don't know where else to get help.
Basically I have some sql I need to run on an Oracle db on Unix, but I need to run it from NT.
There are a number of perl modules that I think may of use, ie. DBI, DBD::Oracle, etc.
but I don't know how to use them.
Can someone show me what to, please ? Examples would be good.
I have very little experience with this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
See this link at otn.technet.oracle.com It has several perl scripts which interact with the Oracle Database.
Hope this helps,
Cheeka

Accessing Oracle Database from PocektPC / Palm

Hi
We need to develope a mobile application where client can be Palm or PocketPC device (preferably PocketPC)
and the Server is Oracle 9 on Sun Solaris.
Some data will be logged into PDA device and stored in the local database. Thereafter it needs to connect to Oracle and INSERT into it.
We do not want to use any third party sw as far as possible. The client does not have App Server (so web services is not possible)
If we have to use Palm device what are the solutions?
If we have to use PocketPC device what are the solutions?
thanks and regards

Haresh,
With a max of 10 clients and 3-4 simultaneous syncs, I think your customer can run Lite in standalone mode without the App Server. Before I answer your questions, I'd like to give a brief description of the data model for Lite, which might help.
When you enter data into your client (PPC, Palm or laptop), the data is put into an Oracle Lite Database, located on the client. When you synchronize with the Oracle Lite Mobile Server, the Lite DB on the client is synchronized with the Lite DB on the Mobile Server. This synchronization is done through http and we provide the infrastructure for this process.
Once the data is on the Mobile Server, the data on the Oracle Lite DB can be inserted into the Oracle 9i DB through JDBC.
When you ask about the Wi-fi connection, what exactly are you speaking of? For example, do you mean an 802.11b connection between the Lite client and the Mobile Server, and then an additional 802.11b connection between the Mobile Server and the 9i DB? In both cases, this can be done because it's simply a different mode for the transport of data.
1. If Lite is not in the picture at all, then you can simply use one of Oracle's connectors (e.g. JDBC) to access the 9i Database.
2. Yes, .NET is supported in Oracle Lite, releases 5.0.2.8 and higher.
3. I'll have to do some further research for the answer to this question to see if it's possible to write an app that can connect to the Lite DB on Palm using Mobile VB.
4. #2 can be done and it might be possible to do #3.
5. There are some tutorials on OTN. Here is the link:

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

The configuration needed is in tnsnames.ora file. Add the entry in your tnsnames.ora file and you can connect to the remote database. the tnsnames.ora file will be in the below path
?<ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin
The sample configuration is given below
<DATABASE_NAME_HERE> =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = <SIDHERE>)
Change the connect string <DATABASE_NAME_HERE> to any name and <SIDHERE> to your database SID and connect using sql*plus or TOAD by giving username, password and connect string.

How to access Oracle Database Externally 11gR1 which is in EC2?

Dear Legends,
I have migrated my local DB to amazon and everything was working fine, DB was up and running. Now I need to access the DB through SQL Developer or any other tool like. How do I able to access it?
Example: URL: http://ec2-10-20-30-40.compute-1.amazonaws.com
PORT: 1523
SID: SAM
Internal IP: ip-10-20-30-40-ec2-internal
Note: I'm not using RDS which is in EC2
Thanks,
Karthik

I resolved it by changing the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files adding the external web entry url "ec2-10-20-30-40.compute-1.amazonaws.com" and now am able to access it externally.

How to access Oracle Using Dos Based FoxPro(2.5,2.6)

Hello Sir,
I need some clarification regarding the following question.
Q. How can access Oracle Database using Dos Based Foxpro of version either 2.5 or 2.6
Thanking you,
Kishore.P

Hi Alex,
the host and port depends on your network setup of your VM.
Do an ifconfig -a and see what IP adress your guest has.
With this IP address you should be able to access EM from outside your VM (but on the VM host, not from outside the network) with the same port.
