Accessing Foxpro via ODBC

Hi There
I am attempting to transaction bracket db calls to Foxpro via ODBC.
Has anyone had success rolling back transactions when an error occurs?
Regards, Leanne

Is anybody still curious about this?
Thanks!

Accessing RDB via ODBC

Hi,
Im currently running Oracle RDB v7.1-0 on an ALpha Open VMS box. Im using TCP/IP via Multinet. Apart from the Oracle RDB ODBC Driver; what other application do I need up and running on the Alpha so that I can attach to RDB via MS-Access ? Do I need to have SQL Services started on the Alpha ??
Please help ?? Appreciate your suggestions.

Is anybody still curious about this?

How efficent is accessing Lite via ODBC?

(we haven't got yet Oracle Lite nor know too much about it ...)
we developed a "prototipe" using MS Access, and now we are planning to upsize to a client/server architecture, and we are thinking to use 8iLite, but we would like not to throw away the front end, so we are going to use ODBC: is it reasonable to access an 8iLite server via the ODBC driver, or we need to use native API calls to achieve aceptable performance?
thank you for any information

Accessing Views via ODBC from MSAccess

Hello,
This started as a simple thing, allow somebody to access to a database on a SQL 2005 server so they could get to it from MSAccess. I have created a login (Windows Authentication) so they can see the database and gave them "public" and "datareader" abilities.
The user then informed me that while they could see the views they could not see the data. Not being a DBA (sorry) I added "public" to the view's permissions (under properties) and granted it "Select" access and nothing else. After I completed this the user could not even see the views to pick them (via the ODBC link from MSAccess) and when I try to remove "public" from the permissions it dissapears, but when I reopen the permission "public" is back.
I then find out there is no data in the views and so the user would not have been able view anything anyway.
So what I want to do is remove "public" from the views permissions, is this possible?
Thanks for any help,
Tyrone

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

URGENT - Unable to link to VFP 9 tables in Access and Excel 2007 in Windows 7 32-bit via ODBC

I have 3 VFP 9 databases and am able to connect via ODBC to 2 of the 3 in Access '07. I can open all 3 the dbf's via FoxPro just fine and 2 months ago I could link to all 3 databases via ODBC with no troubles. I know the problem child (specifically
Accpac/Sage acctg) is intact. Since I had to reformat my computer, I've been able to relink to everything except this one database. Any suggestions as to why I can't make the link work?
As this is our previous system that is no longer used, I really need to get this link set up for queries and reports in Access.
Thanks,
Kristi
Thanks!

This does not appear to be related to sql server, so posting to an access forum would likely be more effective.

Trouble in extracting Via ODBC to Oracle or Access - Numbers Change

I am running a report that I only want the group records printed. One of the group fields shows a sum of a function from the detail records.
The following function sj_rec is on the detail record
WhilePrintingRecords;
Numbervar clm_sj_amt;
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} in ["S","J"] then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt + {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} = "R" then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt - {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
clm_sj_amt;
Then on the Group Record we have disp_sj function
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar   clm_sj_amt;
clm_sj_amt;
On the crystal report every thing looks fine.
When I extract the Information Via ODBC to Oracle or Access the numbers change. If I extract to Excel it is fine.
Can you please explain why I canu2019t get on oracle the exact info displayd in crystal ???

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum
Likely differences in how ODBC links and indexes the tables.

Database Access via ODBC

Hi,
Since recent (LMS3.2) Cisco released the Open Database Schema support. In the guidelines I find info/procedures to access the database remotely via ODBC. However only Solaris/Solaris Windows/Windows is described. Is there any info how I can access the Database (LMS installed on Sol10) remotely via a Windows system ?
Jan

The instructions for Windows/Windows apply, but you'll need to first get the necessary DLLs to allow for database access. The easiest way to do this would be to install Common Services from the LMS 3.2 DVD on a Windows 2003 or 2008 machine. Then extract the DLLs, and uninstall Common Services.
It may also be possible to start the installer, have it extract the install bits to the TEMP location, then you can pull the DLLS from there. However, I have not tried this for obtaining database DLLs (only device packages).

Connection to MySQL via ODBC not working

Hello all together,
I've got a problem with the ODBC connection to MySQL. The connection via ODBC is established and things like tnsping are working.
When I select some data within the SQL*Plus environment, I get no real result. For example "select table_name from all_tables@mysql;" returns nothing.
My entry in listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=odbc_mysql)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.0.1\db_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
My entry in tnsnames.ora:
MYSQL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID=odbc_mysql))
(HS=OK)
The initodbc_mysql.ora in ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_mysql
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
HS_DB_NAME = hsodbc
I tried some modifications but I still get no data from mysql database. When I try "select * from customer@mysql;" I get the correct number of records, the correct column names, but the content is always "¬¬¬¬". The odbc driver works, because with MS Access I can fetch the data. I'm using Oracle 11g Release 1 EE and MySQL ODBC 5.1.5.
What could be the reason for this?
Greetings,
Joerg

created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
idClass
ClassName
123
H e l l o
As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
Here the data type mapping:
SQL> desc "movieclass"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
idClass NUMBER(3)
ClassName NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(50)
What's the exact version of DG4ODBC you're using? 11.1.0.7?
According to the listener file you're using DG4ODBC on Windows. There was a high/low byte issue in DG4ODBC for Windows. This issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7 and a certain patch. So I recommend you to get first the 11.1.0.7 patchset (if you don't already have it installed):
6890831 Oracle Database Family: Patchset
11.1.0.7.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER 11.1.0.7.0
and then please apply also the latest patch:
8689191 Oracle Database Family: Patch
ORACLE 11G 11.1.0.7 PATCH 16 BUG FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT 11.1.0.7.0
There was a high/low byte issue

Excell via ODBC

Hi,
I have ported a aloder LV project from a Win3.11 engine
to a Win NT4
This project accesses .xls data via ODBC
Question : in ODBC access setting, folder "User DNS"
you must select a Workbook ( a *.xls file )
This means it accesses only this named file.
How to make ODBC access any in LV specified file without
reconfiguring the ODBC Data Sources ?
Or can LV rename a *.xls to a given constant name ? this would
solve my problem too
Thanks
Jean-Luc

Maybe this helps, allthough it's no exact awnser to your question (I
think..).
You can create, modify and read the ODBC sources through the registry:
for user dsn:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ODBC/
All the available drivers are in ODBCINST.INI, all sources are in ODBC.INI.
You could modify a ODBC NSD's source file to point to the desired file.
Use regedit to debug.
Hope it helps,
Wiebe.

Problem with locks while using iBATIS with MS Access through JDBC-ODBC brid

Hello,
I am attempting to use iBATIS to access MS Access file via JDBC-ODBC bridge.
(I am using Spring's "SqlMapClientDaoSupport," but that is probably irrelevant)
All this runs on Tomcat... First time DB gets accessed the LDB lock file is created. From there on the only way I can remove the lock file is to kill the JVM...
Any help is greatly appreciated...

And why is that a problem?

Problem accessing mail via Safari browser

How do I access iCloud Mail via my Safari browser on my iPhone? If I go to iCloud.com it just offers me the option to install it on my phone.
The problem is, I already have it installed on my phone and it works fine EXCEPT at my new job - the wifi is not very good and I can access internet/Facebook etc but every time I try and load email it always says it 'cannot find the server .' I therefore tried to access email via safari browser - my other email provider works fine that waybut iCloud doesn't even give me the option to login, just keeps suggesting I install it.
Any ideas how I can check iCloud email at work? Can't do it on work computers, site is blocked....and there is no 3G/4G signal.
Thanks for any advice!

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2618 you should be able to access it via a browser by going to https://www.icloud.com/#mail

I would like to free up some space on my computer and move my iphoto library to the time capsule and easily access it. Also, would I be able to access them via the TC if I purchased a new computer?

I am using my TC as an external hard drive, I would like to remove my photos from my computer to free up space. I'm wondering:
1. Once the photos are moved, how do I access them via the TC, AND will i still be able to print them and see them the way they were set up in my iphoto on the computer?
2. If I purchase a new computer, will I still be able to access them just as easily?
3. What is the process to move the photos to the TC?
I am afraid that if I "erase" them from my computer I will not be able to access them.

Are you still using iphoto?
If so you should NOT move the iphoto library to the TC and use it.
Apple says you will corrupt the library doing this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
Although mostly about FAT32 it adds network drives.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
Now what I cannot tell you is if the same rules apply to the new photo app. Apple might have fixed the problem.
For iphoto you should offload the photos to USB drive plugged into your computer.. or any external drive.. the faster the interface the better.
Apple have explicit instructions for moving the library.
iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location

Can no longer access Facebook via Safari on iPhone

Ever since I loaded IOS 6 onto my iPhone 4, I cannot get to Facebook via Safari...it automatically reverts to the fb app. Even if I put www.facebook.com into the browser. I still access fb via Safari on my ipad (new ipad). This is important as I have low vision and the font is too small on the app.

I have the problem after upgrading my iPad to iOS 6.
It started with the app store, then facebook app and finally can't access to any apple.com page.
Already restore the iPad and now I can access to app store. Still working to get back my access to facebook.
If anyone has an idea about this?
