  • How to connect to database using sqlplusW (windows based  sqlPlus)

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I did some search and i find that i should use some kind of SYSTEM/SYSTEM@ORCLE
    to connect to database using windows based sqlplus.
    in the above SYSTEM is username and password and ORCLE is SID.
    but sqlplusw says that
    could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    where i can find complete information about HOST string ?
    thanks

    You can look inside yours tnsnames.ora file it can be found in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin
    MOB92 =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = MOB92.world)
    Here my network service name in MOB92 so in sqlplus I would use:
    system
    password
    mob92
    and it should work. If you have no such entry in tnsnames.ora file you can use for example Network Configuration Assistant to configure your network service name.
    Best Regards

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.oracledriverThe JAR file is not in your classpath. Depends on what JAR you are using (ojdbc14.jar, ojdbc5.jar, etc). Bottom line, it can't find the class for the driver due to the JAR not being in the classpath.

    Forgot what happens, sorry. After trying to use the ContactHistorieClassid.connectToMySQLDatabase() method, my server console tells me that it cannot connect to the database, even though it returns the values as they were set in the setproperty.
    When I manually enter the values like this...
    Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");     // SQL driver

    SumantaIf you have a listener on host BLRD025AL1, and that listener knows about a service named 'sumanta', then you don't need to do anything to your tnsnames.ora to use it with Toad -- or any other client tool. You just have to provide the correct connect string.
    What have you actually tried?
    What result did you get?
    Any oracle errors (ora-nnnnn or tns-nnnnn)?

  • Not able to connect to database using Oracle ODBC Driver

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle client on a system. there are 2 homes installed. When I check the ODBC administrator, I see that only one ODBC driver is present. There are Net 8 services configured in both the homes.
    When I try to connect to a database with the services configured in the second home using the ODBC driver, I am getting an error that the TNS name could not be resolved.
    How can I use the ODBC driver to connect to the databases using services defined in the second home?
    The name of the ODBC driver is 'Oracle in <firsthomename>
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help.
    I tried this, but it doesn't work. I'm still getting the error.

  • Unable to connect to Database using Grid Control

    Hi,
    I am attempting to connect to my Oracle Linux Machine which has 2 databases FROM my 10g Grid control which is on a Windows XP 32 bit.
    Although I can login to the actual linux box with the host and database credentials ; I cant use the same to login to the database using Grid control.
    I have tried testing the connection using Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Host ; but its just not recognizing the credentials as correct.
    When I attempt to startup the database using the host and DB credentials : ERROR MESSAGE : <servername> : <servername> comes up.
    My agent on linux box is up. My Listener is running fine.
    On my Grid control .. i have the DB, OMS, and Agent running as well.
    Any inputs on this issue, I'd appreciate very much.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Under Hosts on the Main Grid Console Home Page >> "server3.sam" Status shows UP. This server houses my 2 databases. But when I click on Databases >> it shows Instance DOWN.

    So I try to start the STARTUP button >> I enter the HOST Credentials of the Linux box and the Database credentials which I use "SYS" (in upper case - just in case that mattered) and choose SYSDBA ;

    server3.sam: server3.sam
    I created a new dba account and try to login ... dont seem to work ; I tried using SYSTEM account and even altering my sys and system passwords .. all turn out negative.
    And the ANSWER to your question ---> Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Database Instance >> corresponding to my database name ; I enter my sysdba username / password AND the host username / password of my Linux box >> TEST >> which also turns out negative.
    This entry is auto filled in since I "checked" the box "Save as Preferred Credential"; initially when I tried to start the DB using the STARTUP button.
    By the way, my Win XP doesnt really have a password set under User accounts.
    Any suggestions please ?
