Cannot Connect to Oracle8 database

I'm a newbie to the oracle world. I have a problem connecting to an Oracle8 database. I use the Oracle Administration Assistant, right click on the database, type in the net name and my user name and password.
I get a message: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I am listed as a database admin and I have checked my username and password.
This happens for everyone that tries to connect to the database. I have one user in particular that is a database admin, she needs to connect through crystal reports but cannot.
Any Ideas how to get in?
Help!!!!

I get a message: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon deniedthis error message gave you the reason. Ask your dba to check if the username is correct or change the password for it.
SQL> conn noexistuser/abc

Hi,
From the 10.1.2 BI Beans Install Guide it says:
OracleBI Beans supports data stored in Oracle9i Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition. However, only particular releases and patchsets are supported:
* Oracle9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, as follows:
o 9.2.0.6 for all platforms.
o 9.2.0.5 with the latest OLAP patch for Windows-only.
* Oracle Database 10g Release 1 Enterprise Edition with the latest OLAP patch.
From the error message it would appear that the Database is not one of the above.
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi,
Please note that we have follwing versions of DB up and running:-
1)Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
2)Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
With the Partitioning and Real Application Clusters options
JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
Pls let us know the solution to resolve this problem ASAP.
Thanks.

You are not using a supported version of the database. BI Beans/OLAP only support the following database versions:
10g - 10.1.0.3 with additional OLAP patch
9i - 9205 with additional OLAP patch
9i - 9206
I would suggest that you have not applied all the required database patches to your instance.
Hope this helps

VB6 source code cannot connect to Oracle database after compile to file.exe

Hi All,
I have a problem about VB6 connect with Oracle database. It can connect as normal when run on VB program. After compiled to file.exe and execute, it cannot connect to Oracle database. What's going on ? Please advise? Thank you.
Here is sample of my code connection.

Smpatch analyze: Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve Database/current.zip:

I get the following error when I run smpatch analyze:
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve Database/current.zip: Connection reset
I was successfully able to register the system, but keep getting this error with smpatch analyze. I snooped the traffic and saw packets to & from getupdates1.sun.com on port 443, so there is not a firewall problem.
Did I miss a step in the installation?
Thanks

Looks like the root cause (to me at least) is confusion between the contracted support server and the public updates server. They appear not to be the same...
Since late September all my Sol 8 "smpatch" clients were broken, giving me "Response code was 500" because the LPS / Update Connection Proxy was set to https://getupdates1.sun.com/ which is apparently the public site. ( https://getupdates.sun.com/ didn't work either.)
My Solaris 10 clients were working fine through the LPS, however - or so I thought.
When I just noticed that the patchpro.patch.source on Solaris 8 with 124270-01 is showing https://updateserver.sun.com/solaris/ as the default, I tried that as the LPS patch source URL, and now everything works again - for the first time in weeks.
Disclaimer: We are a support contract customer, so I don't know if this info applies to everyone. My LPS has been registered (has "entitlement") since I set it up in February, so it was a complete surprise that Solaris 8 smpatch clients started failing even after I put 124270-01 on the client and 121118-08 on the Sol 10 LPS.
Hope this helps...

Cannot connect to retrieve Database/current.zip

I just completed a patch upgrade on the Solaris 10 machine that runs our local patch
server. It needed several hundred patches, as it hadn't been patched since September.
After that, the behavior of our Solaris 10 patch clients has changed. For example, on one
client a few days earlier `smpatch analyze' had reported 218 patches. Now it reports only
these three:
119255-27 SunOS 5.10_x86: Install and Patch Utilities Patch
121119-08 SunOS 5.10_x86: Sun Update Connection System Client 1.0.8
119789-07 Synopsis: SunOS 5.10_x86: Sun Update Connection Proxy 1.0.9
Our clients currently use `http://xxxxxx.yyyy.tld:3816/solaris/' as their patch source.
Dropping the `solaris/' results in this error, complete with HTML tags, from
`smpatch analyze':
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve Database/current.zip: <h1>/ Not Found</h1><p>The resource identified by / could not be found.</p>
With the original patch source, `smpatch update' does apply the three patches. The
next `smpatch analyze' reports that no patches are required, which is certainly
incorrect! By dropping the `solaris/' again, `smpatch analyze' reports 221 patches.
Suddenly, patching has become a very complicated process. We have to patch,
change the patch source, and patch again. There's no longer a way to use the installed
`smpatch' to obtain a list of required patches or to download them all. What can be
done to solve this problem?

You should only need to change the patch source this one time for each Solaris 10 client (Solaris 9 clients still use the "solaris/" source), in future you should not have a problem.
By patching the local patch server, the Sun Update Connection Proxy sofware has been upgraded to a newer version which now serves patches for Solaris 10 clients from the location 'http://xxxxxx.yyyy.tld:3816/'. This source is compatible with clients at a patch level of 121119-08 or greater, hence the 3 patches still available at `http://xxxxxx.yyyy.tld:3816/solaris/' allow for this level to be reached for clients on older revisions.

Can you please help me.

MSSQL Homogeneous System Copy : SAPINST cannot connect to default database

Hello.
We want to perform a homogeneous system copy, following Note 151603.
We have attached the source DB (RP1) to the destination DB (RD4) following the above mentioned Note.
Now, logged to the server as DOMAIN\rd4adm , we want to execute the SAPINST, as indicated in the Note 683447, but when giving the password for user rd4adm we get a pop up
Cannot connect to R3SVIL\RD4 [SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
R3SVIL is the server. Login is done with windows authentication (connected as domain\rd4adm)
We cannot find a Note descibing this issue and how to fix it, must be something with user : does anybody have suggestion or solution?
Thanks a lot,
Dino

Hi,
did you apply SAP note 551915 - R/3 won't start after database restore or database copy
also check Note 806925 - SQL Error 4064: Cannot open user default database

kaushal

Cannot connect to Oracle database from SQL Server

Hi
We have set up a SQL Server linked server and tried to use this SQL Server linked server to connect to Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01. However, we got this error message:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
We are able to connect some of the tables ok but some of the tables are not connected and got the above error message.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi
Here is more information. We just found out that the Oracle database team changed the character set to something else and then they changed it back to UTF8.
Currently, it is using UTF8 character set on the Oracle side. Will this causing us this error message on our sql server linked server?
The error message said "The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2."
This refers to a field/column with char(1)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thank you
Tom

Cannot connect to MySQL database

Hi
I'm new to flex builder 3... and have therefore looked at
lynda.com to learn about the product and get started fast. And here
they show you how to create a connection to a MySQL database using
MAMP on a mac (or WAMP on the PC) - I'm on the mac ;-).
I have installed the MAMP server with both MySQL, Apache and
PHP running on defalt ports. And I have created a simple database
in MySQL... The site is running fine and so is the MySQL (I have
tested with simple HTML etc)... but when I try to connect to the
database using the wizard in Flex, I get the following message:
Unable to connect to the database....
If I look at the details it say (hold on):
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link
failure due to underlying exception:

.... and more ...
What the h.. does that mean - Plz advice someoone ... I'm
really stock here ;-(
Kind regards
Brian

Thanks for the answer, but I must be doing something very
wrong - as I still havn't found the correct solution ;-(
I have as mentioned tried both the default MySQL port (3306)
and the one used by MAMP (8889) but without any luck.
I do restart the MySQL server each time - and MAMP even does
that by default when changing the port number.
If I open myphpadmin the DB is running and as told I can
connect to it using Dreamwaever...
But If I run the command "telnet localhost 8889" you told my
to, in terminal I get the following message:
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
So here it looks as if I can't connect ??? The same happens
if I try the default port 3306.
Everytime I test in the wizard I get the message:
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link
failure due to underlying exception:
** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **
java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host
STACKTRACE:
java.net.SocketException: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No
route to host
at
com.mysql.jdbc.StandardSocketFactory.connect(StandardSocketFactory.java:....
etc
And yes it is the Data -> Create Application from Database
wizard that I'm trying to use.
I don't undersatnd why the lynda.com video tell that it is
important to change the MAMP's settings to the default port instead
of using the MAMP ports, when you say it is not like that ? They
even show how to disable the default Apache webserver to use the
MAMP one on port 80.
Hope the terminal message can give someone a hint to the
posible problem.
Thanks in advance

Power Query Cannot Connect to NAV Database

I can access the NAV database and get data by PowerPivot, however when I connect to NAV database with Power Query and enter my user name and password. Power Query will pops out error message "The User Was Not Authorized". But my account
works fine in powerPivot. Can anyone provide me some help please?
Thanks
Henry

In Power Query, there are usually different types of credentials that you can choose on the left side of the dialog. Are you sure you've chosen the right type of credentials (ie. SQL auth vs Windows auth)?

Cannot connect to configuration database - share point services 3.0

Hello,
Im running a SharePoint Service 3.0. Databases are on a SQL 2005 server.
Yesterday I wanted to change the user identity for the IIS application pools. I also added the new user to access the databases. After the change I got the message that I couldnt connect to the configuration database when I opened the SharePoint Site/Central
Administration.
Now I wanted to change the user identity for the application pools back to the old identity - for this I had to change the users password. After the change I still get the message and dont know what to do.
I did this - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/934838/en-us ; http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/823287/en-us
Thanks in advance for your help,

Check if you are able to connect to SQL server using management studio.
GO to c:\ or d:\ create a text file. Then rename the extension of file from .txt to udl. example SQL.udl
Now open this SQL.udl and type the server name. try to connect to SQL server.
If you face issue with .udl then there is some network issue between SQL and sharepoint.
If UDL works fine then there is some issue with either config db or sharepoint server.
Check if sharepoint user is not locked and firewall is disabled on both servers
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Windows Azure Platform Management Portal to configure the SQL Database firewall: on the Firewall Rules tab of the SQL database server, add the IP address of your computer into the IP address range.
What's more,Windows Azure SQL Database does not support Windows Authentication. Please use SQL Server authentication in your connection string.

The program runs fine within eclipse and the database is bundled in the jar.

...and the database is bundled in the jar.That isn't going to work.
The MS ODBC driver (which has absolutely nothing to do with java) expects to find the MS Access file in the windows file system.
And the contents of the jar file does not fit into that requirement.
