ASP Oracle ODBC Driver..can't connect

I set up the DSN name in Control Panel on my server to go after a database on another server. used the connection tester to see if it would work...it did. So I put in the connection string inside my ASP on the server and I keep getting a can't resolve TNS error message. Why?.....
I'm brand new at this so I may not have the connection string correct. Can someone help?

configure net8,then go to odbc create dsn .In the select oracle8odbcdriver,in the service name give the net8 config name . i think this will help for your asp code.

Oracle ODBC driver with Access Application

I get a problem when using MS-Access 2007 DAO recordset built on table hosted by an Oracle database 10g and connected thru ODBC
The table scheme is :
idPartenaire : number(11)
libelle : varchar2(250)
code : varchar2(5)
actif : number(1)
idCollege :numner(11)
idPartenaire is generated by a sequence read in a trigger fired before insert on th table.
The code I use in Access is :
The query associated with the form is :
"select * from table1"
and the event procedure connected to a button on the form is :
Private Sub Commande0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Me.Recordset.AddNew
Me.Recordset!libelle = CStr(Rnd) ' some value
Me.Recordset!code = “”
Me.Recordset!actif = -1
Me.Recordset!idCollege = 1
Me.Recordset.Update
Me.Recordset.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.LastModified
Dim idtemp As Long
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
Me.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "idPartenaire = " & idtemp
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
When I run this code, I get an error 3167 (current record is deleted) on the line :
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
If I change the ligne :
Me.Recordset!code = “”
By :
Me.Recordset!code = “xxxx”
or if I comment this line, the error does not appear and I get the right value in idtemp variable.
I tried also with the same table in a SQL Server database table. In this case it works fine in all cases.
So, I seems that the problem is due to the Oracle ODBC driver. I tried with different versions of Oracle ODBC drivers (v10.0.2.4, v11.1.6)
I search on Internet but I have not found any explanation or solution.
Does anybody experiment the same problem (and find a solution)?
Gilles Roussel.

The two lines you quote aren't errors, they're warnings and they're pretty standard fare. If there isn't anything else in the ODBC log, then the driver isn't returning any errors. I'm not sure why Access is failing, so let's look at the client configuration first.
- I assume you've successfully installed the 8.1.6 client on the machine with Access. Were there any errors during the install?
- You say you're using the 8.1.6 version of the Oracle ODBC driver-- can you look to see what the last digit of the version is? If possible, I'd start by downloading the most recent 8.1.6.x ODBC driver from OTN.
- Check which version of the MDAC you have installed (new versions & a version checker are available from Microsoft at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
- The ODBC driver you download above will list which versions of the MDAC it is expected to work with. Make sure your version is one of the listed versions.

ASP pages and Oracle ODBC Driver

I have a number of ASP pages that need to be updated to connect to Oracle using the ORACLE ODBC driver. Currently, these pages connect using the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. I do not know of all the details yet as I havent seen the pages or network for which they reside on and I havent been supplied with details on version information. I would assume I am working with recent versions of all software.
What Im curious about is if anyone has done this sort of driver change before and if you have any suggestions on how I would go about doing this, or if there are things that I need to be aware of that arent evident at first glance.
Again, I am switching from the odbc driver provided by Microsoft to a version of the odbc driver provided by Oracle.
Thanks for any and all information.

I'll assume that there is some reason that necessitates switching drivers. If there's not going to be a benefit, I'd suggest not changing.
That said, changing drivers should be relatively painless. If your ASP makes database connections using DSN's, simply go to the ODBC Data Source Administrator, rename the old Microsoft DSN, and create a new DSN using the Oracle driver with the name your ASP is looking for. If your ASP specifies the ODBC driver in its connect string, you'll have to modify all the ASP connect strings to use the Oracle driver. If all goes well, your ASP will now be up & running using the Oracle driver.
As we all know, however, reality and theory are often at odds with each other. While your ASP should be connecting to the database correctly when you make these changes, please do some thorough testing to verify that everything works like you expect. The ODBC specification permits drivers to have a variety of behaviors in certain conditions. Applications written with one ODBC driver often end up relying on one of these behaviors, and may break when the ODBC driver changes.

Odbc driver error while connecting with Oracle BI in Linux

I have Oracle BI Server, Presentation Service and Oracle 11g Client installed in RHEL 5. Oracle BI client is installed in Windows so that I can use Admin tool.
I have created a repository in Windows for sh schema(by creating ODBC). After that I transferred this repository to the ..server/repository in the linux server.
I have installed Oracle ODBC Driver from EASYSOFT and added one odbc data source for sh schema in the ../setup/odbc.ini.
My ODBC setting is as follows.

If it is because of wrong driver, can anybody suggest a proper ODBC Driver for Oracle and how to configure it. If the driver is OK and configuration is wrong, can anybody tell me how to create system dsn in linux?
Thanking you in advance.

don't use ODBC for Oracle, use OCI
search on the forum, there's plenty of information about it.

How can I do to get Oracle ODBC driver in Windows?

Hello,
Please, I need help to use Oracle ODBC driver in Windows 7. I installed Oracle Client 10g with the ODBC driver, but I can't use it. OracleODBC driver don't appear in the driver list when I want to create a new datasource. How I can do to get Oracle ODBC driver for create a new datasource?
Thank
Edited by: user4528703 on 13 mars 2010 02:01

Hello,
To get the ODBC driver you should run a custom Oracle Client installation and Select
Oracle Windows Interfaces 10.2.0.1.0.
Then, you'll get the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.1.
But, be aware that Oracle didn't certify Windows 7.
So, if afterwards, you experience some trouble, think to install Oracle with Xp compatibilty mode, or
wait to Oracle 11.2.0.1 which will be certified on Windows 7.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Can not see Oracle ODBC driver in Ms SQL Server 2007

Hi
I am trying to export an ms sql server table to Oracle using the Ms SQL Server 2007 export wizard and the only driver I found in the list is Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Oracle.
I already installed Oracle client and I addedd an ODBC conenction of the datasources Why can I not see the Oracle ODBC driver?

Which version of Oracle and what kind of Client Install
Are you sure you did the full Client Install which will have ODBC ?

Oracle doesn't produce such a beast. Microsoft provides a lot of important ODBC infrastructure on Windows that driver writers rely on which isn't available on Linux.
There are third parties that have developed ODBC drivers for Oracle on Linux. There's an open source project at <http://www.unixodbc.com> that you might be able to use. Companies like Merant may also provide drivers.

How to install Oracle ODBC driver...?

TOM,
Presently, I have oracle client version. But there no Oracle ODBC driver in my PC. But, I want to install only Oracle ODBC driver in my PC for ODBC Connectivity purpose.
How to install & where can get the source?

I found out the real answer!!!
On another thread there was a link to the client 10g installation. I download that 480Meg monster. Unzipped the package and launced the setup.exe.
You can then install just the ODBC using the custom option. But, it will not install the tnsnames.ora file. If you have ever done this from a VB app, copy the tsnnames.ora over to the \network\admin folder. It's usually under the oracle\product\client\10.0.2\ folder. Once installed you can launch the ODBC administer either from the link Oracle installs or from the control panel.
Next, you need to make sure the folders where the .dll file is readable to the iis. Change the folder to add whatever permission group you use for iis (I happen to have setup a local users group {machinename\users}. Add them to the entire folder structure (check the embedded folders to ensure they are readable).
While setting up the ODBC, the TSN names will now be listed from the tsnnames.ora file (if properly located). To make the connection work, the userid should be 'userid;pwd=password'. Otherwise the connection failed for me.
Now, if your connection works okay from the odbc test connection, it will probably fail if accessing through iis (like from a .asp page). There are environment path variables that need to be set. Reboot the server for them to get set. Otherwise you will get a ODBC driver can not be loaded do to system error 1114 message.

MS ODBC or Oracle ODBC driver?

Can anyone tell me which is the correct driver to use when developing front end MS Access 2003 to retrieve and update data on a Open VMS platform with Oracle 8.1.7.3 database?
I have serval Access 2000 databases that run on most WinNT or W2K clients with a couple of W2K Dell exceptions. These Access 2000 db's connect to the Oracle database using linked tables and SQL pass-through queries that work with ODBC Manager-DNS system setup using the Microsoft for Oracle ODBC driver.
Now we are upgrading to Office Pro 2003 so new W2K images have been setup with Oracle 8.1.7 Client. SQL*Plus works on these clients but when I create the System DNS the Access databases return an error "ODBC connection failed". I can however connect with a pass-through query using Oracle's ODBC driver. Not enough time in roll-out plan to change the ODBC connection string in hundreds of Access SPT queries.
Please help!

Hi,
Since 9.2 has been desupported for error correction you will not be able to download that version from OTN. You should ask whoever is providing the training if their is an alternate version you can use. The only versions that you will be able to download from oracle.com is 10.2 11.1, and 11.2.

How to select active Oracle ODBC Driver programmatically?

Hi,
My application creates ODBC DSN to connect with Oracle 10g database server. I need to find out Oracle Driver installed on the system programmatically. I am trying to read KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry key and eventually searching ORACLE_HOME value. This helps me in searching Oracle Driver in ODBCINST.INI registry key. (Oracle in OraDb10g_home1)
If multiple Oracle clients are installed on the same system, multiple KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry keys and oracle drivers would be available. I am not sure which and how to select the current active oracle driver.
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Can anybody help me out? Can I use inventory file (inventory.xml) to determince current active home directory? Reading PATH environment variable to identity active home directory would be tedious.

Please look at following thread for answer.

Download and installing oracle odbc driver alone

Hi all,
I wanted to find out if I can download just the oracle odbc driver and install in without actually installing oracle database or client version on windows PC.
thank you

You will need to have some Oracle software on your machine for the Oracle ODBC driver to function.
If you can use the 10g client, you can install the 10g Instant Client and the ODBC driver. The Instant Client is a minimal set of libraries that allow components like the Oracle ODBC driver to work. The 10g client, though, is not certified to connect to databases earlier than 8.1.7.
If you have to use an earlier version, you have to install the full Oracle client, which is not a small install, to be able to use the Oracle ODBC driver.

Oracle ODBC Driver 10.02.00.04 sqora32.dll with /*+ RULE */ base hints

Hi Everybody,
I have a problem with SQL queries with /*+ RULE */ base hints being posted to an Oracle database. I have reason to believe that these queries are generated by the Oracle ODBC Driver itself. Although I don't have a performance problem per se, I need to reduce these hints to a minimum so we can fine-tune the database as a whole.
* The views that are hit are always the same: All_Objects, All_Arguments, All_Synonyms,
* We are using Oracle ODBC driver 10.02.00.04 for Windows, the database server is a RS6000 with AIX and Oracle 10g,
* Aside Oracle Development tools, there are no applications, reports or similar gadgets that query the tables described above.
I would really appreciate any help about this issue.
Here is an example of the type of queries that I'm writing about:
SELECT /*+ RULE */ '', b.owner, decode (b.object_type, 'PACKAGE', CONCAT( CONCAT (b.object_name, '.'), a.object_name), b.object_name), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, decode (b.object_type, 'PACKAGE', decode(a.position, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0), decode(b.object_type, 'PROCEDURE', 1, 'FUNCTION', 2, 0))
FROM ALL_ARGUMENTS a, ALL_OBJECTS b
WHERE ( b.object_type = 'PROCEDURE' OR b.object_type = 'FUNCTION' ) AND b.object_id = a.object_id AND (a.sequence=1 OR a.sequence=0) AND b.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND b.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' UNION
SELECT /*+ RULE */ '', b.owner,b.object_name,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,decode(b.object_type, 'PROCEDURE', 1, 'FUNCTION', 2, 0)
FROM ALL_OBJECTS b
WHERE (b.object_type = 'PROCEDURE' OR b.object_type = 'FUNCTION') AND b.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND b.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' UNION
SELECT /*+ RULE */ distinct '', a.owner,CONCAT(CONCAT (a.package_name, '.'), a.object_name),NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,decode(a.position, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0)
FROM ALL_ARGUMENTS a
WHERE (a.sequence=1 OR a.sequence=0) AND a.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND a.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' ORDER BY 2,3

Hi Greg,
Thank you for your answer. One of the things that we did when we migrated to Oracle 10g was to ensure that the "Disable Rule Base Hints" flag, located in the "Work-arounds" tab in the ODBC DSN window is checked. We previously refreshed all Microsoft's Access databases to use this new DSN connection. Still, the hints are there.
However... we may have been able to link these calls to these Oracle System Catalog views, with a custom application that launces Crystal Reports.
Although we all know that Crystal Reports also caches ODBC DSN configuration settings, I must say that these same Crystal Reports do not generate hints when called from their InfoView server.
We will proceed to modify the custom application, overridding the dissable rule-base hint work-around with the string "DRH=T" on the connection string. Next week we will know if this works.

Oracle ODBC driver and TIMESTAMP with timezone

Does anyone know if it is possible to return data from a "TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE" column using the Oracle ODBC driver and an ADO Recordset?
I am using the Oracle driver version 10.2.0.2 and TIMESTAMP fields work fine.
I can call Recordset->Open() with a query like "SELECT * FROM TABLE" when the table contains a column of type timestamp with timezone but when I execute a statement to see if there are results as in
if (!(srcRecsetPtr->BOF && srcRecsetPtr->EndOfFile))
my application throws an unhandled exception and exits. The exception is not a COM exception and I'm not sure how to get back additional information if that's possible.
The only information I've been able to find in searching TechNet and MetaLink is that a workaround is to wrap the columns in a TO_CHAR or TO_DATE conversion first but that's not a good solution for my problem since I am executing user specified SQL which may join multiple tables.
I've found one other note that says the documentation should be corrected and that these fields are NOT supported period (Bug #4011640).
I've experimented with the Bind Timestamp as Date option in the ODBC connection and with various ALTER SESSION settings to attempt to change the NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT but I have been unable to get past the problem.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Justin
Thanks for your help.
I tried what you mentioned and I could connect myself via SQL*Plus without passing a password and a login, Extern authentification seems to work and my user seems to be right configurated.
But he problem goes on via ODBC. When I test connection in the ODBC Data Source Administrator of Windows XP, test fails and seems to forbid connection without userID and password. When I try to connect via ODBC in my program the same problem appears : "Unable to connect SQLSTATE=28000 [Oracle][ODBC][ORA]Ora-01017: Invalid username/password;logon denied" I could not connect in this way.. What's wrong ?

Slow performance in W2K using Oracle ODBC Driver

My company is upgrading our NT4 servers to W2K. One or our App servers is running MTS with several packages, one of those being a dataaccess package that is responsible for all data actions.
In testing the OS upgrade, I found considerable performance degradation with our data access package. I finally solved the problem by changing the ODBC driver from Oracle ODBC Driver to the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver. I have also found that under XP, I can still retain the use of the Oracle ODBC Driver without any performance hits.
All systems currently have the 8.1.7 Oracle Client and MDAC 2.7. I have also tried the Oracle Objects for OLE with similar performance losses in W2K.
More info about the problem...
In using the Oracle ODBC Driver, I connect this way -
Dim RS As ADOR.Recordset
Set RS = CreateObject("ADOR.Recordset")
RS.ActiveConnection = "DSN=" & p_strDSN & ";" & "uid=" & strUser & ";pwd=" & strPassword & ";"
RS.Source = "Select stuff from aTable"
RS.LockType = adLockReadOnly
RS.Open
Using W2K, I found that the majority of processing time comes from the RS.ActiveConnection call, not from object creation.
I would like to use an Oracle developed driver to connect to my database, however, I am forced to use the Microsoft driver. I have not seen any similar problem on this message board, nor have I seen any mention of this in MSDN's discussion board. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?
Thanks,
Matt

The performance lag we have been seeing is in the milliseconds, but when we make repeated calls, those milliseconds add up. I am seeing a difference of about 7 - 10 milliseconds each call between the Oracle ODBC Driver and the Microsoft driver.
TNSPings seem quick in all setups as does the connection tests.
The Oracle ODBC driver version is 8.01.07.00. I haven't tried the new 8.01.07.6+ drivers yet. I'll give them a shot and reply back with results in a day or so.
