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.

Mapping deploy for Non-Oracle Data Source hangs

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy mapping for Non-Oracle Data Source and it hangs.
Oracle version is 10.2.0.3 and OWB version is 10.2.0.1.3.1
It would be really appreciated if you can help.
Thanks!
PS.

That helpes quite a bit. I still can't get the app to retrieve data, but I am getting a more useful message in the log:
[Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied]
As you suggested, I removed the <default-resource-principal> stuff from sun-web.xml and modified it to match your example. Additionally, I changed the <res-ref-name> in web.xml from "jdbc/jdbc-simple" to "jdbc/oracle-dev".
The Connection Pool "Ping" from the Admin Console is successful with the user and password I have set in the parameters. (it fails if I change them, so I am pretty sure that is set up correctly) Is there another place I should check for user/pass information? Do I need to do anything to the samples/database.properties file?
By the way, this is the 4th quarter 2004 release of app server. Would it be beneficial to move to the Q1 2005 beta?
Many thanks for your help so far...

Can you use SQL Developer against non Oracle data bases?

If so, then how do you define the connection for non Oracle data bases?

Look, SQL Developer has got to be a 'gateway' into Oracle DBs from other databases. JDBC allows simple introspection and execution of SQL commands. So the 'explain' button won't be available, or some of the DDL stuff, big deal! Let them get a taste of what they are missing by not having an Oracle database.
If we can get non-Oracle developers (especially MS SQL Server) to use SQL Developer it will expose them to the superiority of the Oracle DB server.
If they have heterogenous services installed they are already an Oracle customer -- we have little additional DB server sale opportunity there. SQL Developer is a really sweet tool and it could be a real draw into the DB server sales.
SQL Developer must be easily usable by non-Oracle customers in order to help us sell the DB server to them!

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

Unix: SQL Server Connection with ODBC (CRsqls24.so)

Hi,
I almost find no information how to set up a SQL Server connection using ODBC on a unix platform.
This is what I get when I try to refresh my crystal report on my BO Server (4.1):
"The viewer could not process an event. Error in file XXX.rpt:
Error loading database information"
.) is the port number really separated from the server by comma? (http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp10_data_acs_en.pdf)
.) where is the right place to speficy the SQL Server isntance name (SQLInstanceA in this case)? I didn't find any information about that?
[MYDB]
Driver=/opt/BOBJ/xir4/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/aix_rs6000/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so
(for 64bit: Driver=/opt/BOBJ/xir4/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/aix_rs6000_64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so)

Thanks!

First off, let me say that in the past (pre v9) when I've tried to use Windows logins with datasources, it never worked. But that doesn't mean that they finally got it working, just that I stopped trying.
What I was referring to in my post is that once you have CF installed, you need to go to the Windows Services screen, open each of the CF processes, click on the LOGIN tab, and change it from the default services login to be whatever WIndows login you have setup in Active Directory. Then restart CF so that it's process is now running under that login with its credentials. Then go to SQL Admin and setup that same login and give it access to the database you want to access. Then go to CF Datasource menu and setup the datasource as you did previously. If CF's support of Windows authentication for datasources does in fact now work, you should be in business.
If it doesn't work, then you'll need to do as I said earlier, and setup SQL logins for the CF servers to use, and then in the CF Datasource setup screens you would specify that login info in the same way that you would have given it the "sa" login info.

Emulated or non emulated data source ?

Hi All,
We are in the process of moving our application code from JDBC to Toplink. As we are in this process , the application code is a mixture of Toplink and JDBC calls (some individual method also mixture ). We are using External Transaction Controller for Toplink. Now I am just wondering if Emulated data source is good enough or should I go for Non-emulated data source for this situation.Can some one guide me on this. We have some connection pooling issues like connections reached max and Time Out exception..etc
Giri.

More to add to the above issue:
I have a method which executes some JDBC and toplink calls in a loop . Toplink calls are releasing connections to the pools but JDBC call are not releasing connections to the pool.Both connections use the same data source.

Connecting to Oracle Data Source using SSIS

Hi Guys,
Please I am working on a BI Project that requires me to connect to an oracle data source using SSIS.
Can someone assist me with the required steps to achieve that.
I dont want to use a third party tool.
Thanks

Hi lilutchay,
If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2008, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 1.2 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x. If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2012, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 2.0 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x.
While if we want to connect to other Oracle version databases, we can use
OLE DB provider for Oracle which has been tested in SSIS labs and is recommended by Microsoft.
For the detail steps for Microsoft Connector for Oracle, we can refer to the first blog suggested by Deric. For more details about the use of connecting to oracle using Oracle Provider for OLEDB from SSIS, please refer to the blog below:

using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?
Best Regards,
Lisa Chen

Maintaining the structure of a SQL Server staging area and dwh aligned with the Oracle data source

Hi,
I'm working in a context where the data source system, in Oracle, is a continuos work in progress. Each 1-2-3 weeks the data source system in the prod environment is updated with new tables or updated table (with new columns or altered columns). So, it is
important to apply in a rapid manner the related changes in the data structure of the SQL Server staging area and dwh.
The issues to solve are:
a. maintaining SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the Oracle data source;
b. maintaing SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the SQL Server staging area.
In order to solve these issues it could be useful to think to an authomatic manner to alert when a data structure change occurs and a simple manner to apply the changes on SQL Server data structure.
Any suggests, please? Many thanks

We use Oracle CDC service in SQLServer. It has a flag to indicate the schema changes happening at the Oracle end. We track the schema changes using it and then apply changes to sqlserver side. And regarding automation you can use Biml as suggested or .NET
scripts inside script task.

Is there any chance that ORacle RDBMS persuades ODBC to consider Oracle Date type as Date without time

Hello,
I have complain from SPSS end user reaching Oracle through ODBC interface that Oracle date fields are considered as datetime fields in SPSS.
It is the whish that SPSS would consider Oracle date field right from the beginning as date field without the need to reformat field...
In SPSS dictionary field is described as DATETIME20 after query from the database.
Any idea is apreciated,

I just double check and didn't see this option anywhere. You can however copy/paste text on a BlackBerry. I believe the only way would be to copy it in your email client and have the BlackBerry synchronize with it

Non transactional data source and ejb transaction

Inside an ejb method with trans-attribute = Required,
Do a bunch of things using a transactional data source and a bunch of things using
a non trasnactional data source.
Looks like the time spent doing the non-transactional data source related work
does not count for the transaction timeout defined for the ejb.
So, what happens here, the ejb transaction is suspended ( when I start using the
non transactional ds ) ?
