Anyone have useful information how to connect to an oracle database?

I first tried "Instant Client", following all the instructions, and had the problems described here I don't get it :(
And then I tried the 10g installation CD to install the client and all it did was install the exact same "instant client" files which I had already installed.
I'm just looking for a quick and easy way to get sqlplus and other clients like Tora connecting. After that, I will worry about how to get JDBC and PHP connecting. I don't mind reading documentation but not hundreds of pages of highly complex material with a raft of assumed knowledge (ie. I have no wish to become a DBA).
Any links to articles/tutorials etc would be appreciated - ie. connecting to ORACLE in 10 easy steps... not
"Installation Steps:
1. Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic package.
2. Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient".
3. Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.
4. Start your application and enjoy."
from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
which has turned out to be utterly useless and unhelpful :(

I guess I was asking a broader question in general which related to the more specific question in the "instant client" forum for which I provided a link.
I don't get it :(
This has more detail about the client environement and my initial attempts at connecting (as per instructions on the Instant Client page).

How to connect to remote Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Hi,
I am very new to Oracle. I have created a successful application using OCCI call (createConnection()) to connect to local (resided on the same PC) Oracle Database. Now I would like to move the application to resided on a different PC and try to connect to Oracle Database. Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this? Well at least for me, self study on OCCI documentation is pointing to the right direction ;-)
OCCI requires only four shared libraries (or dynamic link libraries, as they are called on some operating systems) to be loaded by the dynamic loader of the operating system.
Installing Instant Client resolve this.
Cheers!

How to connect to an oracle database server from a linux server?

Hi,
I am a total newbie to oracle. At my work, I only know that there is a server with an oracle 10g database set up.
I was provided with the hostname, oracle sid, port, username and password but i don't know how to connect to it, log on to it and do things on the database.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get started (like how to log on to the server and start doing some simple things. )
Any help is appreciated :)
Thank you

Goto your local Oracle install directory and then goto folder NETWORK/ADMIN
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
do you see a tnsnames.ora file there? If you edit that file in your favorite editor, you would hopefully see some entries there already setup. See if one of those entries contain the hostname, sid, port that was given to you. if it does, that name is what you will use:
$ sqlplus username/password@name_of_tns_entry_you_found_aboveif not, then just duplicate an existing entry and change the relevant settings for your database, give it a new name and use it to connect.
alternatively you can also use the "Net Configuration Assistant" application.

How to connect two different oracle databases

Hi All,
I have a special scenario like the following:
I have an oracle Database 10g, it has to get some data from the Oracle Apps Database (the API is defined in the Views and Packages of the 10g database)
Is it possible for me to make a connection with the 10g database to the Apps database.
Do I have to use any engines like JDBC for the connection between the two databases
The issue here is because of security Issue, I cant create a database schema in the Apps database
What can be the solution for this issue..
Many thanks in advance
and best regards.......

You might be able to use a database link to connect from one db to another.

How to connect to an Oracle database on one machine from another client machine?

I installed oracle database 11g (server and client) on one machine. It works perfectly. Then I installed oracle client (ODTwithODAC1120320) in another machine. Now I want to connect to the database of the previous machine. I tried to connect but It failed. I think .ORA files should be configured. What should I do to fulfill this.
thanks...

thank you for the quick response..
this link Installing Oracle Database Client for oracle client installation. But the content refers all oracle database installation. could you please get know me that oracle client means only the OdtWithODAC or some thing else? This link Installing Oracle Database Client explain but not the OdtWithODAC. Please let me know clearly.
Please let me know the exact name of the software that I should download from the oracle website that refers the oracle database client.
thanks

Please explain how to connect to an Oracle database with CF9 standard

Can someone walk me through this process? I am trying to help a group that upgraded frmo cf8 enterprise to cf9 standard.

1. You'll need to download the Oracle JDBC Drivers (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html)
2. Put the appropriate .jar files in your <coldfusion>/lib folder
3. Restart CF
4. Create a Datasource using the "Other" option
5. Create an appropriate connection string
Examples:
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@[HOST][:PORT]:SID
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@//[HOST][:PORT]/SERVICE
It has been a long time since I have done this, but I have done it and know it works. I remember the issue with SID vs SERVICE being a huge PITA.
Good luck,
Jason

To configure Oracle JDBC:
1. Add Oracle JDBC JAR file classes12.zip or ojdbc14.zip to classpath.
2. Load and register the JDBC driver.
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
3. Obtain a connection:
String url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:1521:<database>
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,
"myLogin", "myPassword");
4. Create a SQL statement.
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
5. Obtain a result set.
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT ...");

Connecting to an Oracle database after clicking on a foi

Does anyone know how or have any examples on how to connect to an oracle database after clicking on a 'feature of interest' in MapViewer? I want to be able to click on a 'feature of interest' on the map, and have a list of records from an oracle table displayed using the identified key of the foi. I am able to create the feature of interest, and add the event listener for 'mouse click', but am unsure how to connect to the database at this point. I have been able to connect to the database in a different jsp, but not from here. Thank you.

1. Create a JSP page that does the database query. It should take the foi id as an input parameter.
2. In the foi mouse click listener, display the JSP page in iframe. The iframe can be placed outside the map or inside the info window. The function should do something like this.
function myClickListener(point, foi)
mapview.displayInfoWindow(point, "<iframe id='my_iframe_id' frameborder=0 width=300px height=400px />", 300, 400) ;
var myIframe = document.getElementById("my_iframe_id") ;
myIframe.src = "http://myhost/myjsp?key=" + foi.id ;
}

I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore. It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders. Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially. Thanks

You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
Best of luck.

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor. It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors. Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Links should not create any problems in Keynote. If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped

I've preordered my iPhone 5 from apple and tried to get a sim from o2, they said I couldn't preorder. Does anyone have any information about this?

I've preordered my iPhone 5 from apple and tried to get a sim from o2, they said I couldn't preorder. Does anyone have any information about this?

Ethmoid,
Generally buying on contract or buying outright from apple with a separate sim from a provider is little difference in cost.
Work out the total cost over 24 months for the phone+monthly tarrif and you will see.
Also the contracts where the phone is cheapest but have a higher monthly cost tend to be the ones that cost you move over a 24 month period.
For example;
Using O2 UK as an example (other carriers are very similar). For the iPhone 5 64GB;
From Apple £699, plus O2 On & On £20 per month is £1179
From O2, Phone £249, per month, £41. Total over 24 months is £1,233
From O2, Phone £169, per month, £46. Total over 24 months is £1,273
From O2, Phone £69.99, per month, £63. Total over 24 months is £1,581 <Cheapest phone, most expensive
*These all use the same tarrif of unlimited talk,texts and 1GB data. The only difference is how much you want to pay upfront for the phone*
Also worth noting is buying the phone from apple and the O2 tarrif is only a 12 month tarrif so you're not locked in for 24 months.
As you can see, the cheaper the phone, the more the overall amount you pay.

Anyone have useful information how to connect to an oracle database?
