Accessing default database

i've just recently downloaded the trial version for Oracle8i Lite. The installation was successful, but when I load up SQL PLus 8.0, I am unable to access a sample database. I was told to use the username : SCOTT and psswd: TIGER , but I get a message saying "unable to connect to destination". So then I was advised to use the same SCOTT and TIGER as well as for the hostname: odbc:polite but then just gave me another error message "no interface driver connected-funtion not performed". So what do i do now? I've also been told that perhaps the database needs to be "started" first before being able to access it. But how do i "start" the database? I surfed through this forum for some answers and i've come across suggestions of configuring this and that, but nothing is clear as to what a new user should do inorder to access the sample database? i wish there were concise instructions for this in the user guide... quite frustrating actually. Any help would be VERY appreciated asap.

I suspect is that HOST = charles-1 which contains a minus "-" in the computer name.
Change the computer name of your PC, reboot and edit TNSNAMES.ora by changing
HOST = charles-1
to
HOST = charles1
In DOS,
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
tnsping XE
If you can successful TNSPING then you should be able to connect to XE using SQL Plus.

Not able to access the Database & Clusterware from OEM Console.

hi,
I had installed Oracle RAC 11g R2 in RHEL 5.3 Operating environment. I had installed my Oracle RAC with Enterprise Manager Console.
Its with the defailt port 1158. After the installation when i try to access my EM Console, i was not able to access the Database and Clusterware from EM Console.
When i access the EM console with url, I found with Startup and Perform Recovery option. But whereas my database is already startup and running.
So when i click startup its saying database is already started. Since it is a prodution environment i dont want to go with Perform recovery option.
Please tell me hw to attach files in this thread so that i can send the snap shot of the console for your reference.
with regards

hi,
As mentioned due to not having the default listener port 1521, we are facing this problem.
As meniotned i had changed the emoms.properties file and changed the port and my emctl page is opening.
But am not able to access the other parameters like ASM, Servers, Clusters etc bcoz since in some file it is looking for 1521 default port.
So is it better to go for emctl deconfig and config again or to change the port the files which required.
If i do in what are the file the default port will be located related to emctl.

The server principal "XYuser" is not able to access the database "Ydb" under the current security context

SQL2005 on winserver 2003. I have a view in Xdb that accesses tables in 2 different databases (Xdb and Ydb) on the same server. I have mixed mode security. I have a SQL user (XYuser) that has read access to all tables and views on both databases, yet when I try to access the view using a C# windows application I get the following error:
The server principal "XYuser" is not able to access the database "Ydb" under the current security context
This same scenario works under SQL 2000. I looked through the postings and tried to set TRUSTWORTHY ON on both databases but that didn't help. I can access any other views or tables on the SQL 2005 server, just not the one that joins the tables cross databases. Any help is much appreciated... john

This appears to be a Login/Database Mapping issue. I was having this problem, but was able to resolve it as follows:
Using the SQL Server management Studio:
In the Object explorer, under the SERVER security folder (not the database security folder), expand Logins.
That is: ServerName -> Security -> Logins
NOT: ServerName -> Databases -> DatabaseName -> Security -> Users
Select the Login that is having the troubles. Right click on the Login and select ‘Properties.’
The ‘User Mapping’ page should list all databases on the server with a check mark on the databases that the Login has been mapped to. When I was getting the error, the database in question was not checked (even though the Login was assigned as a User on the database itself). Map the Login by checking the box next to the database name. Set the default schema. Then select the roles for the Login in the Database role membership list box. I selected db_datareader and public. After clicking OK to save the changes, the problem was resolved.
In order to ‘Map’ the Login, the Login must not already be as User on the database, so you may have to go to the database security (ServerName -> Databases -> DatabaseName -> Security -> Users) and delete the Login from the list of database Users before mapping the Login to the database.

Accessing mysql database from oracle using dg4odbc

I've been trying to create a database link from a MySQL database to Oracle using the Oracle dg4odbc gateway. I downloaded and installed DataDirect's ODBC package which includes mysql ODBC library (ddmysql24.so) and a generic ODBC libary (libodbc.so). After creating the DSN in odbc.ini, I tested it and it can connect to the mysql database. Then I created the init{SID}.ora file in hs/admin directory, added dg4odbc lines in the listener.ora, and added lines in tnsnames.ora. Then I tnspinged the new SID with success. Finally, I created the database link. However, when I tried to access the database link using the commands "select * from mdl_user@moodle;", I got the ORA-28500 error like the following:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][20101]You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"mdl_user"' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MOODLE
My mysql database is utf8 by default. Do I have to use latin1?
It seems to me that the dg4odbc translates the sql commands incorrectly (having double quotes around the selected table).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jeffrey

The syntax error occures for example when MySQL isn't running in ANSI mode and thus does not allow double quotes around the objects. DG4ODBC 11.1.0.6 by default always adds double quotes to table/column/view names.
A quick test to check if you hit the double quote issue would be to set the MySQL DB into ANSI mode:
- Open SQL*Plus
- execute:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@moodle;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@moodle(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@moodle(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@moodle(c);
END;
- Now run your select statement
=> if it now works, you can permanently change the MySQL config to be ANSI compliant or you can apply the 11.1.0.7 patchset to DG4ODBC.

Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
Eg:
Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
all work fine as sqlserver_user
select * from table_fromdb1
select * from dbo.table_fromdb1
select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
as does
select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
over in Oracle
Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
all working fine
select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
if oracle to oracle would be
select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
Planning to amend this to be
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
With exisiting dblink
And to create new gateway
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
Cheers again

Need Help on Troubleshooting IR Error: Failed to acquire access to database

Hi there,
I have been struggling with the following error "Failed to acquire access to database" and ODBC driver error "Data source name not found and no default driver specified" when opening an IR document for a few weeks.
The IR document uses an oce file called ABC.oce and DAS has been configured accordingly.
ODBC System Data Source called ABC created on server running IR DAS as follows:
- Driver: Oracle in OraClient11g_home1
- TNS entry: ABC
- Connection tested successfully;
IR DAS entry ABC created as follows:
- Connectivity Type: ODBC
- Database Type: Oracle
- Hostname: ABC
oce file called ABC.ore created as follows:
Interactive Reporting Database Connection
Connection Software: ODBC
Database: ORA8
Host: ABC
Username and password have been entered in the oce file as well.
What possibly have I missed?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Are you using the Hyperion ODBC drivers which comes with the Hyperion installation?

Access a database in applet

2002-4-17 15:46
I can run application program to handle a database ,
But when I convert the code of application to the code of applet,
then i run appletviewer ***.html;
it tell me that it cant access the database ,
"java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission
accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)"
why?
How to resolve it!
thanks

This is due to the Default SecurityManager in Applet.If u run as a simple application u don't get any AcessControlException.
By Default Applet is having its own SecurityManager and for Applications haven't.
So two possiblities are there to acess the DataBase.One is by writing a permission file for the SecurityManager and add to the Envroinment.ie assigning permissions
Other is write an servlet which retrives data from the database and the applet gets data from the
servlet.This the the normal way which people are using.

<snip>The subject of this forum is Oracle databases. How does your problem relate to that subject?
Two bits of advice:
1) Make sure you ask questions in a forum related to your problem.
2) If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, drop the MS IM Speak and use the language of the forum. In this forum it is English, which is successfully used by many people for whom English is far from their native language.

MSSQL Homogeneous System Copy : SAPINST cannot connect to default database

Hello.
We want to perform a homogeneous system copy, following Note 151603.
We have attached the source DB (RP1) to the destination DB (RD4) following the above mentioned Note.
Now, logged to the server as DOMAIN\rd4adm , we want to execute the SAPINST, as indicated in the Note 683447, but when giving the password for user rd4adm we get a pop up
Cannot connect to R3SVIL\RD4 [SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
R3SVIL is the server. Login is done with windows authentication (connected as domain\rd4adm)
We cannot find a Note descibing this issue and how to fix it, must be something with user : does anybody have suggestion or solution?
Thanks a lot,
Dino

Hi,
did you apply SAP note 551915 - R/3 won't start after database restore or database copy
also check Note 806925 - SQL Error 4064: Cannot open user default database

Hi Sara,
First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account.  I
was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well.   I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
my novice questions below?
1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
     Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
     Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm). Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"? I checked all
3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem? What does it do? And How do I run it?
4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log. I'd just downloaded a viewer for it. I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
Admin is installed)? There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

How to access multiple database present in single instance

Hi Team,
In oracle 11.2, can there be multiple databases in an instance??? In one of our environment, I could see multiple databases in an instance. Could you please help me in giving the data dictionary or query to access those databases?
Actually, querying v$database, I could see only one database which is same as instance name. But in inventory, there are multiple database in an instance?
I am still not exactly clear about this. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

In Oracle one instance manages one (1) database. A database consists of multiple *schemas*.
Other vendors erroneously call a schema 'database'.
So, no, you didn't see multiple databases.
There is also one datadictionary, consisting of a set of views.
All views beginning with dba_ list the entire database, all schemas.
All views beginning with all_ list the objects you have access to.
All views beginning with user_ list your own objects.
The view DICT show you the contents of the datadictionary.
Oracle also has online documentation at http://docs.oracle.com
From your question it is clear you should read the document called the 'Oracle Concepts Manual'.
You can find all documentation for 11gR2 here Oracle Database Online Documentation 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Too many people here don't make any effort to read it. This is probably the reason why you got no response.

"Failed to retrieve data for this request" occurred when I tried to access a database.

Hi,
I installed the sql server 2008 Client on my pc, so that I can connect to a remote sql server 2008 Enterprise cluster. Here is what happened:
0. Added myself as a db_owner on the two databases in the sql server cluster.
1. On my windows xp pro, I typed the server name and log in.
2. After I logged in, I clicked on the Databases to expand the node. However, an error prompt says,
"Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
The server principal "DomainName\MyName" is not able to access the database "DevicelockDB" under the current security context. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
I only need to connect to two databases that I created on the sql cluster. I don't know why the DevicelockDB is needed before I can access two databases. What does DevicelockDB do? Do I need it for connecting to a database? Let me know, thanks in advance.

I had the same problem , this one resolved the problem , thank you deshmukhsdineshd

Trying to access 10gr2 database from sqlplus utility but it connects to 11g

Hi All,
I am facing below issue while access 10gr2 database from sqlplus.
I am having two oracle homes on one server one belongs to 11gr2 and another belongs to 10gr2.
I want to access a 10gr2 database through sqlplus utility.but instaed of connecting to 10gr2 it is connecting to 11gr2 after I enter a user name and passowrd.
I have set all the env variables such as oracle_home ,oracle_sid and path with respect to Oracle 10gr2.
Can you please let me kno what I need to do to connect to 10gr2 database and not 11gr2 database through sql plus.
Let me know if I need to give any more details on this.
Best Regards,
Dipti S

Hi Rocky,
I got the resolution.
I made a mistake by creating an oracle instance/service(e.g. fsdmo) when Oracle_home was pointing to 11gR2 Directory.so that service was refering to 11gr2 oracle home.
hence when I was setting oracle_sid(fsdmo) and trying to access database instance from 11g sqlplus utility ,it was directing to 11g and not 10g since oracle service was pointing to 11g.
So now after chnaging the oracle home directory to 11g,I am creating a service and its working fine.
thank you so much for responding.
hope I am clear with my reply.
Best Regards,
