Can oracle PLSQL program communicate to VFP (Visual Foxpro) Database.

Hello All,
I am using dataabse 9i in windows 2003 - 32 bit server.
I have couple of application in forms and Visual Foxpro(VFP). The VFP program can commucate to the oracle database.
when I am inserting/updating/deleting some data to the oracle database it should insert/update/delete the record in VFP database.
For this I have created triggers in the oracle tables so that when DML oreration are happening in the database it can triggered and same time the VFP tables can be updated by the oracle triggers. But my problem is I am not able to connect to the VFP table from the Oracle.
Any body have any idea on it, Please suggest.
Thanks,
SUN

Oracle has a facility called Heterogeneous Services. It uses odbc or ole to communicate to third party databases.
You need a Foxpro ODBC driver, and you need to set up several Net related files.

Here I am looking forms connect to VFP database (As per my knowledge it is not possible, if there is any way to connect) , or when I am inserting some data to the oracle database it should insert the record into VFP database.

do the following steps for hetrogenous service
Step 1
Create ODBC named Access1.
Step 2
Go to urs inithsodbc.ora file which reside at
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin\inithsodbc.ora
and overrite by
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Access1
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
Step 3
Add the following entry to the tnsnames.ora file:
ACCESS1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ACCESS1))
(HS=OK)
Step 4
Add the following entry into the listener.ora file:
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=ACCESS1)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle)
---Define urs oracle home path in mine case it is at D:\Oracle--
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
Step 5
Reload the listener from contol panel services yours listener service
Step 6
Create a database link using:
CREATE DATABASE LINK access1.world CONNECT TO "MyUser" IDENTIFIED BY "MyPassword" USING 'ACCESS1.WORLD';
Step 7
Connect to scott/tiger
Query the table using:
SELECT *
FROM [email protected];
Step 8
Same you can connect to urs forms and write above sql in cursor

How can a LabView process communicate with a Visual c++ process

How can a single Labview process communicate with another Visual c++ Process?
Both Application are running separately. The LabView Application must have the Possibility to send command to the C++ Application and receive Data from this process.
Thanks.

Thank y for your answer.
The c++ application has already been written but don´t have an external interface.
The LabView application can have an activeX interface other dlls.
Do you have some LabView example code using activeX interface other another Method to communicate with a c++ application?
I have no practical experience with the interprocess communication.
Any example in LabView will help me.
Thanks

Crytsal Reports 11 cannot connect to Visual Foxpro Database table

I hope someone can help me here. I have read through the other posts here, but can't seem to fiind the answer I need.
We use Crystal Reports to pull information from our Sage databases to create and distribute reports. Currently this is working fine on the original server. However, we decided to move the installation of Crystal Reports from one server to another.
In setting up the new server, I keep getting the message "The database table (table name) cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?" It displays this message for all the different tables in which data is trying to be accessed. Once I click No to all of these notifications, the correct info is poplulated in the report just fine. I need to get this corrected. It does not do this on the original installation.
Also if I open Database Expert and single click too expand the "Current Connections" folder, I get a message that pops up saying "Database Connector Error: 'HY010:[Microsoft][ODBC Visual Foxpro Driver] Function sequence error'". When I click OK to that, I get another similar error that reads "Database Connector Error: 'IM001:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function'"
Please let me know of any ideas that you may have as to what may be causing this issue. I have tried reinstalling the ODBC drivers, Runtime files, and Crystal. I appreciate any help.

I tried what you mentioned but it did not work. I believe it has to do with a "SQLNumResultCols" in SQL. The reason I say this is because I did a trace on both the server that is working and the server that is not and this is the first key that displayed an error in the SQL.LOG file. Here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that isnt working...
dde             2e94-28b0     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
          HSTMT               03442998
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4
          DIAG [HY010] [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Function sequence error (0)
And here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that is working...
dde             eb8-c94     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS)
          HSTMT               03542508
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4 (5)
I believe if I can figure out what is causing this, I will be able to resolve this issue, but I am not a programmer and I am having a very hard time with this. Any help is appreciated.

JSP and Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database

Hi!
I am developing a website in JSP, this is placed on a linux server. I want to connect to the FoxPro databasefiles(*.dbf) on another server.
How can i do this?
I've tried this connectionstring, but it only works on my local machine that runs on Windows XP:
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};UID=;PWD=;SourceDB=" + db + ";SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=Yes;Collate=Machine;Null=Yes;Deleted=Yes;");
This connection string is not usable on the server where the JSP-page runs.

Can Oracle view refer a table in Sql Server Database

Can a view created in Oracle database refer a table created in SQL Server database. If yes, how do we do it. Code will be very help full.
Again, if yes does it require any special software and what would be price of that software.
Thanks for your response in advance.

You would need to configure Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity to create a database link to the SQL Server system. This can either be done via the Oracle Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server, which retails for $15,000 per server at http://store.oracle.com or by configuring Oracle Generic Connectivity and using ODBC to go after the SQL Server data. Depending on the operating system you run Oracle on, there may be a free (or cheap) ODBC driver for SQL Server that could be used.

Can Oracle Express 10g be set up so a database is accessible without acct?

I have a test database set up on one Windows Virtual PC and apps that need to connect to it on another.
I can see the database from the app VPC fine through sqldeveloper, but I need to log in with a username and password (which I can't seem to set to blank).
This is a local test environment that has no external access, so I'm not concerned about security. Is it possible to make the database visible without a user account at all? Or is there a way to set a blank password?
Thanks.

Nope. No way. User names are vital in Oracle databases.

Thanks all.

Hi doanpq,
Please download and install OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0, which exposes OLE DB interfaces that you can use to access Visual FoxPro databases and tables from other programming languages and applications. Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14839
Then, please follow up the following article to create a linked server:
Creating Linked Servers:

Windows 8.1 - Office 2013 - Visual FoxPro - excel data connection problems

Hi i have an excel document with existing data links to a foxpro database. these links worked on windows 8 with office 2013 but since getting windows 8.1 the links no longer work.
After much searching i have found i need to installed VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
This does not fix the issue. The ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools still have no reference to FoxPro and within excel if i select from other sources and the other/advanced i can see the Microsoft OLE DB
provider for visual fox pro but it crashes excel.
in Windows 8 ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools i have listed two items Visual FoxPro Database and Visual FoxPro Tables but both these are missing in Windows 8.1.
What do i need to do to correct other than not to use Windows 8.1
Many Thanks

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error

Hi all,
I am able to INSERT and SELECT records from FoxPRo database successfully.
The driver is Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge
The DELETE statement throws no exception.
I've tried to execute PACK after the DELETE call and got following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File must be opened exclusively.So I tried USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE in a Statement before calling PACK and got the exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationI've also tried inserting the USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE before calling DELETE but got the same exception above.
The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:
- Free Tables (not database)
- Null (checked)
- Deleted (checked)
- Fetch data in background (checked)
I am not able to issue any of the following commands to FoxPro using java
OPEN - To open a table
CLOSE - To close a table
USE - To open a table for uer either in exclusive mode or shared mode
The exception being generated is :
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationThe help file of the Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver states that the driver has support for the above commands.I a not able to get the way to issue the above commands to the driver using java.
In setting up the ODBC DSN I saw no "read only" setting.
In the Visual Foxpro table, I saw no READ ONLY settings.And also, there are no delete permission grants and there is no user database sesssion concept.
I've tried all of the above with DSN mapped to a database(NOT free tables) and setting AUTO-COMMIT OFF and AUTO-COMMIT ON.But in vain. The same exceptions as those stated above persisted.
Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
JDK version "1.4.2_09"
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 06.00.8167
Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver 6.01.8629.01
Don't know what else to try.
Can anybody please help me.
Thanks in advance

The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:

- Deleted (checked)If you're using Visual Foxpro database(.DBC), you should see "Exclusive" option too. You can try check it, but I don't know whether your issue will disappear.

Visual Foxpro DBC file reporting OLEDB vs ODBC

I have been tasked with converting some CRX 8 reports to run dynamically in a VS website. The current datasource is hard coded into the report as a network share via ODBC. I cannot use ODBC for this, but will be converting the reports to use OLEDB. I cannot find any discussions or documents on how to set the datasource programmatically for Visual Foxpro .DBC files. I am not too familiar with Visual Foxpro databases. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

As a BTW., note that I still do not know version of CR you are using. I can only guess it is 'Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008" (v. 10.5.x)...
Based on that assumption, 1st thing to do is update CR to SP 1. See here for links to downloads.
Ok. Once you have converted the report to use OLD DB, you will want to look at some code examples here:
Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
(vbnet_web_simplelogonengine.zip would be the 1st one to look at)
More resources:
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs (applies to all versions of .NET and CR)
SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide
SAP Crystal Reports .NET API Guide
And do use the search box in the top right corner. I find that simple search strings (e.g.; 'crystal net OLE DB') work best.

Does oracle application server's plsql program accord with corba criterion?

Does oracle application server's plsql program accord with corba criterion?

You need to purchase a have a support contract to have access to that.
You can try upgrading to the latest JDK 6 an latest WLS 10.3.6, you have the chance the issue is fixed in the latest 11g release.
