Cannot create DSN using ODBC Driver 8.1.5

I was able to create new DSNs using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.5 and linked Access tables. But all of a sudden (yes, without any reason, I was not downloading anything at that time) , I got ODBC-Call Failed. And when I tried to reopen (browse) the linked table, a message saying -
One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
Then I realized that I cannot configure existing DSNs using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.5. I trid to create a new one. But after I selected the Oracle ODBC Driver, it did not bring me to the screen to set up DSN, and just went back to the same ODBC Datasource Administrator window.
I tried to use SQL Plus to connect to the Oracle server and it worked. But when I tried the ODBCtest, I got the same message with more details -
SQLSTATE: IM003, Native Error Code: 160, Driver Message: Specified Driver could ont be loaded due to system error 1114. (Oracle ODBC Driver).
I tried to follow the 'help' hint but nothing's working. I reinstalled the ODBC driver, and even downloaded the MDAC 2.6 that appeared in one old discussion topic, but still have problems.
Was it something suddenly crashed? Could someone please help? (p.s. I am using win98). Thanks!

What version of the mfc42*.dll's do you have in your system directory?

Unable to create DSN using SQLConfigDataSource on windows 64bit

Hi all,
I have a 32bit application that needs to be ported and installed on to 64bit Win2k3 server.
During installation of the product, Install script is failing to create a DSN using SQLConfigDataSource API on 64bit windows2k3 server.
I installed 32 bit Oracle client(10.2) on the 64bit m/c, despite this, I am getting an error "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified, Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed"
But when I invoke odbcad32.exe from "C:\windows\syswow64\", I am able to see all 32bit drivers and I am able to create the DSN and Test the connection successfully to a 64bit ORACLE 10g DB installed on the same m/c. I am even able to connect to the same database from the COMMAND PROMPT through the command "sqlplus" with same credentials and SID.
Based on observations from the debug, I feel the Installer is picking up odbcad32.exe from "C:\windows\system32\" folder. Hence what I did was, I copied the 32 bit odbcad32.exe from "c:\windows\syswow64" folder into the above folder. At this juncture, the product Installer was able to create the DSN, but it is still failing to TEST the connection successfully and my Installer quits giving the above error.
Can somebody help me out in this regard, about how I can overcome this problem. Is there something that I am missing ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Murali.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
If I access the SQLPLUS from the below 3 locations and connect through the same user credentials(test/test@orcl) and same SID, the connections are successful.
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\sqlplusw.exe(64 bit DB server)
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplusw.exe(64 bit Client)
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\BIN\sqlplusw.exe(32 bit Client)
The TNSNAMES.ORA file in all the below 3 locations have the same content !!
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN (64 bit DB server)
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN (64 bit Client)
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\NETWORK\ADMIN (32 bit Client)
Hence my concern turned over to the error details which point to " Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
When I debugged my code, I could see the SQLConfigDataSource() is getting called with params (NULL, "ODBC_ADD_SYS_DSN", "Oracle in OraClient10g_home2", "DSN=DSNTemp;UID=test;PWD=test")
The above values suggest, Oracle 32bit driver is used to create the above TEMP DSN. I think my setup's runtime is picking up 64bit ODBC DATA SOURCE ADMINISTRATOR from "C:\windows\odbcad32.exe" by default, which cannot find the specified 32 bit driver !!
Do you think my assumption is valid/true ? If so, how can I make my SETUP's runtime to pick up 32 bit ODBC DSA from "C:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe"?
Can you suggest me what might create the above error(Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed). Do you think there is some problem with the Connection string ?
Thanks for you help,

Using SQLBindParameter, SQLPrepare and SQLExecute to insert a Decimal(5,3) type fails with SQLSTATE: 22003 using ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server

Hello everyone.
I'm using SQL Server 2014, and writting on some C++ app to query and modify the database. I use the ODBC API.
I'm stuck on inserting an SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT value into the database, if the corresponding database-column has a scale set.
For test-purposes: I have a Table named 'decTable' that has a column 'id' (integer) and a column 'dec' (decimal(5,3))
In the code I basically do:
1. Connect to the DB, get the handles, etc.
2. Use SQLBindParameter to bind a SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT to a query with parameter markers. Note that I do include the information about precision and scale, something like: SQLBindParameter(hstmt, 2, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_NUMERIC, SQL_NUMERIC, 5, 3, &numStr,
sizeof(cbNum), &cbNum);
3. Prepare a Statement to insert values, something like: SQLPrepare(hstmt, L"INSERT INTO decTable (id, dec) values(?, ?)", SQL_NTS);
4. Set some valid data on the SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT
5. Call SQLExecute to execute. But now I get the error:
SQLSTATE: 22003; nativeErr: 0 Msg: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Numeric value out of range
I dont get it what I am doing wrong. The same code works fine against IBM DB2 and MySql. I also have no problems reading a SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT using SQLBindCol(..) and the various SQLSetDescField to define the scale and precision.
Is there a problem in the ODBC Driver of the SQL Server 2014?
For completeness, here is a working c++ example:
// InsertNumTest.cpp
// create database using:
create a table decTable with an id and a decimal(5,3) column:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE[dbo].[decTable](
[id][int] NOT NULL,
[dec][decimal](5, 3) NULL,
CONSTRAINT[PK_decTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[id] ASC
)WITH(PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON[PRIMARY]
) ON[PRIMARY]

If this is no solution try increasing the decimale number on the SQL server table, if you stille have the same problem after that change the column to a nvarchar and see the actual value that is put through the ODBC connector for SQL.

ORA 2005 error when you using ODBC driver of 10.2.0.3

I am getting following error when connecting Oracle 10.2.0.3 to Oracle 11.1 database from a thrid part application:
Issue Description. An application using Oracle ODBC driver version 10.2.0.3 to communicate with the Oracle database 11g tries to update the field “SOURCE_CODE” of LONG data type in table “SUBROUTINE” returns the following error.
ORA-02005: Implict -1 length not valid for the bind or dfeine datatype.
I updated my client to 10.2.0.4,, error is still present. Does any one know what patch to install to get rid of this error. I cannot modify the third party code.

What are the system requirements (supported config) of 3rd party app?
According to the 9.2 Error Messages document,
>
ORA-02005 implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype
Cause: A negative length for the define variable was passed to a define function.
Action: An explicit, non-negative, length parameter must be passed.

Perhaps you should report this back to vendor as a bug.
You could also turn on odbc tracing (driver/dsn config) to catch the cuplrit statement.

Problems using ODBC Driver. Connection never opens.

Hi,
I have a problem with the ODBC driver for oracle.
This is the behaviour: the first attemp of connection doesn't work, the connection never opens. the second attempt is almost instantaneous but 10 minutes later the connection fails again. It is neccesary to close and open the app using the odbc driver again.
I've tried everything.
Thanks in advance,Regards.

Hi,
Quote: "ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
This error is typically thrown because the code is specifying a DSN that does not exist. So, please make sure you are referencing a DSN that has been created.
You can refer to this article below:

Creating application with odbc driver LabVIEW 8.0

Hi,
I've looked through a lot of examples and tried out a lot of them, I still can't get this right. I have a login vi which connects to a MySQL database via an ODBC driver to authenticate a user, if username & password are right user is sent to another vi. This works well on my computer. I am trying to build an executable/installer to run this on another computer that has LabVIEW 8.0 installed but not the ODBC drivers. I followed examples and included the MDAC files in my application (executable file), and the .udl file I created. I then included the file in my installer. When i run my application in another computer I get the error 'Data source name not found and no default driver specified in DB Tools Open Connec (string).vi'.
1. What more must I add cause I thought adding MDAC and the udl file was enough.
2. Just to confirm: do I add the MDAC in support files in Executable file builder or do I add the files in Installer builder?
3. If I need to include the odbc driver in the application, at what stage (where?) do I do that?
Please do not refer me to help files Applicationi Builder files for versions 7.0 and less because the setup is different and I just got confused.
Please help.
Thanx.

Hey ntfan,
Here is a paragraph taken from the Database Connectivity Toolkit ReadMe file.
Distributing Stand-Alone Applications and DLLs
When
you use components from the Database Connectivity Toolset to build a
stand-alone application or a DLL with the Application Builder, you must
install MDAC to the target computer if it is not already installed
along with the appropriate support files. A build script is included in
the Database Connectivity Toolset to help you include all these
components. Refer to chapter 6 of the Database Connectivity Toolset
User Manual for more information.
Are you using a build script as described above?

Using ODBC driver FOXPRO DBF

Hello, i am defining a connection using ODBC with foxpro, i am able to see the table but not the column
Are there parameters to adapt somewhere (SBO,...)

Hi Bertrand
Please let me know the following information:
- Exact version of Crystal Reports Designer. (For this information open Crystal Reports. Go to Help > About Crystal Reports).
- Exact version of the Business Objects Enterprise.
- Exact version of the Database.
- Type and the version of the driver used to connect.
- Are you able to view all the columns when you create Crystal Report directly using ODBC connection?
- What happens if you create the Data Connection using OLEDB or Native connection?
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Forms 6i to sql database using odbc driver

am using orace forms 6i and i want to connect to sql database to use the tables there i can seem to do that with odbc cos it is asking for 'oracle open client adaptor', please can somebody tell me how and where i can get this adaptor driver.

I suggest posting this in the Forms discussion forum. The open client adapter stuff is a bit different that the ODBC driver.

Minimum Install for Using ODBC Driver.

What is the minimum installation required for using ODBC from a client machine.
EG I have an application in Access and I want to connect to a table on my oracle server. The user machine, has Access installed, and I don't wnat to install the whole 50 megs(OK I exagerate A little but not much) of NET 8 client just so they can look at a table in Access from Oracle.
What specific elements are necessary in the install, TCP/IP, Named pipe protocol adapters?, required support files?, SQL*plus 8?
Say its a version 8.0.4 server for arguments sake and I want the least hassle setting up 50 users who already have office installed with the latest version of MS ODBC32, they have no Oracle software on their machines.
null

Unfortunately, you'll need to do at least a minimal Oracle client install. While we probably don't actually rely on everything that gets installed here, we don't test our driver with anything less than a minimal install.

Cannot Install Embarcadero Interbase odbc driver on windows 2012

Hello
I am trying to install Embarcadero Interbase odbc driver on a windows 2012 server. But the installer does not load the file into system 32 folder which should contain the DLL for the 64 bit driver. The 32 bit dll goes correctly into syswow folder and the
driver works. Even if i try to copy the dll from a windows 7 machine and register it succesfully using elevated permissions .The driver shows up under 64 bit but does not load the database. I feel something is off with the permissions on system 32 folder under
windows. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Contact the application vendor. This is not a Windows issue but an application issue. If they do not support running on 2012, there may be nothing you can do.

Cannot create vault on FireWire drive

I have a FireWire drive with two partitions. One partition is a mirror running under SoftRAID. The other is an ordinary Mac partition. Aperture will not create a vault on the Mac partition, generating an error message saying that Aperture cannot create a vault on a networked drive. It says that it will only work on local drives or those connected by FireWire or USB. But this drive is connected by FireWire. Is this some sort of strange incompatibility with drives partitioned by SoftRAID?

I have two valuts, both are on external FireWire drives (as is my library). Neither of these is attached to any kind of RAID array. My guess is that SoftRAID is causing your problem.
Have you tried "unRAIDing" the drive to see if it will create then? or attaching a different disk and trying that?

Compile err mkfifo: cannot create fifo / using SSHFS

mkfifo: cannot create fifo '/compile/firefox/logpipe.uagECToo': Operation not permitted
I did open acces to user root to this directory after this happend.
It did not help.
It is a sshfs by sshd directory/filesystem on ext4.
My pc compiles and uses anothers pc free disk space.
(Another pc can not compile because it has unauthorised(forbidden) memory access error(SIGVI of something similar) when compiiling firefox. I think I have to reinstall system,it has experienced 0 free space on root partition)

Looks like an sshfs limitation.

Cannot Create PDF Using "Create PDF" Function in Acrobat 8

I can create by using "save as" in my Office programs, but only from the Windows Explorer box, not from the menu. However, I can no longer "create pdf" nor "combine files" inside Acrobat 8. I get reinstall message. It starts and hangs up. I tried reinstalling from CD. I use this feature a lot to create files and it just quit. Nothing new has been installed that might interfere. I've made sure that the distiller is not inactive. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, alot of us had to upgrade to Office 2010 ...its very unfortunate that adobe doesn't warn us up front about the imcompatibiity problem before they took our money. Granted they can't give us warnings about every compatibility issue..but considering that MS. Office PDF comversions is a big marketing interest for adobe, I for one would have liked to have known that before I paid for adobe for 9, for I would have waited for 10

Until Adobe releases Acrobat 10 do not upgrade to MS Office 2010!!!
It appears that with the release of Acrobat 10, much of Adobe's support to Acrobat versions 7, 8 and 9 will be reduced to the very minimum updates.
Many CAD programs require upgrades to newer versions of Acrobat. But Acrobat does not support all CAD programs.

Odbcad32.exe errors when creating DSN using 9i client and 9.02.00.65

Hi,
I am about at the end of my rope. I have a brand new Windows xp sp2 machine. I have tried installing, uninstalling deleteing all registry keys, deleting directories, installing the full 92010NT_CLT then installing just the run time, then installing different ODBC drivers - from 9.018 - through 9.2.065 - I have been through the message that I needed a newerr version of the OUI etc etc, I finally found a thread that led me to to ODAC92070 which then I installed - geez!
ALL these configurations resulted in ODBC crashing when creating a DSN! weak! In just about every situation that I had the patience to test TOAD it worked fine - however from the command line SQLPLUS would crash too when connecting - even the MS Driver works sort of - in most situations. What in the world do I need to do to get the ODBC Administrator to not crash when creating an Oracle DSN.
Thanks
Jerry

BootCamp cannot create new partition on drive free space.

Hi Folks,
I am hoping for some advice here. I am running OS X (10.5.6) and wish to use Boot Camp to created a partition to install Windows XP SP2 for some gaming. My machine is a late 2007 MBP 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 340GB WD transplanted hard drive.
I have about 180GB of free space for a new partition to be created for the XP install.
When I fire up the Boot Camp Assistant tool, I am immediately informed of the following:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition."
"Back up the disk and use the Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using the Boot Camp Assistant again."
+ I have never had more than one partition on this drive.
+ I installed the drive new with no partition and used a tool named 'Carbon Copy Cloner' to transfer data from the original drive onto this drive, the machine booted right away and I have been using it without issue ever since.
+ I have run Disk Utility to 'Verify Disk', 'Verify Disk Permissions' and 'Repair Disk Permissions' all ran with no problems and completed successfully.
My question is, how can I make a usable backup copy of the drive to restore back to the drive after performing the re-format?
Can I use the Carbon Copy Cloner software for this? I want to make sure that the resulting internal drive is bootable, etc.
I have been running Time Machine as well and have a disk full of backups from that app, but I have no idea how to use it to restore the drive to it's current state after re-partition and format.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

So today I used the free "trial" version of SuperDuper to create a bootable clone of my primary internal drive.
It was about 100GB and took a long time to copy onto USB 2.0 external SATA drive, but it worked.
SuperDuper provided the option to make the copy the boot device as well. After reboot, I used OS X Disk Utility to erase primary drive.
I then performed the operation in reverse, copying the entire contents back to the original location.
After a reboot, I ran the Boot Camp Utility and received the same aggravating message which I received before.
How can I be sure that I am actually re-formatting the target drive in order to consolidate free space? Is this my issue? When I performed the erase operation, I skipped the "zero out free space" step. Am I using the correct utility to prepare the target drive?
Once again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John
