Choice of OCI and ODBC

anyone written C++ app using ODBC API on Solaris platform to access Oracle db?
I was told there are 3 party software ODBC driver. Anyone has experience in this area?
thanks in advance for your help and any opinion you have between the choice of OCI and ODBC (on a Solaris platform)

Essbase 11.1.2.1 - Dimension build problem, OCI and SQL...

When retrieving SQL data in Data Prep editor, field names are replaced with SQL View field names.
From what I can find this was supposed to be fixed in the patch for 11.1.2, can anyone confirm or deny that...
Is this only a problem with OCI and ODBC connections?
Any help would be appreciated.
Adam,

We are experiencing all of the defects:
Defects Fixed in this Patch
· 13398150 – When you use the Migration Wizard in Administration Services to migrate an Essbase application, an incorrect error message is returned: "Failed to migrate the application. Please see message panel for details." However, the application is migrated. Refresh the Essbase server application node to see the migrated application.
· 13398160 – Selecting the OK/Retrieve button to populate data from SQL causes previously defined column headers to be changed.
· 13398169 - Joining two or more data fields in Data Prep Editor, when one or more of the fields is empty, causes Administration Server to terminate abnormally.
I think the patch would work if it weren't for the limited processors supported... were running Intel Zeons. How do we get ORACLE to compile patches for them... ???

OCI vs ODBC (EIS 6.5)

I have a test with oci and odbc.but I got a different result with our expects.Actually we just expected OCI to reduce load time dramatically better than ODBC.But Odbc was fast by twice than OCI.I got tested about ten times.My weird result was unchangeable.Any idea? or I skipped any property setting?

All the tests we have conducted show that OCI is about the same speed as ODBC.Are you sure both tests are creating the same query?

Does TT support OCI API except JDBC and ODBC?

Hi
Does TT support OCI API except JDBC and ODBC? or Do we have any plan to support OCI in the future

Oracle policy does not permit us to give any commitment to when or if any specific functionality will be delivered. My understanding is that we plan to deliver this in the next major release of TimesTen (which may or may not be called 8.0) that is released after Oracle 11g (since a lot of the changes needed to enable OCI support for TimesTen are in the 11g client). We currently hope that this release will be available sometime in CY2008.
You should not rely on any of the above information as it is, as always, subject to change without notice.

ORA-12504 error when connecting to Oracle 11G DB using OCI and instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip

Dear Friends,
I am using OCI and instant_client (11.2.0.3.0) in my C++ program (on Windows 7) to connect remotely to 11G database.
While doing a connection using server name as well as servername:port/service_name as connection strings, I am getting error of ORA-12504 TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA.
According to instant client FAQ & white paper at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html, no tnsnames.ora is required for instant client. Then why could I be getting this error?
I ensured that only the instant client directory is in Path environment variable. There was a ODBC driver installed on this same host. Could that be modifying the behavior of instant client?
Kindly guide.
Many thanks in advance for your help and time.
Best Regards,
- ganesh

>>what is the exact connect string you are using?
For connection, I am using the plain hostname on which the DB server is running.
>>are you calling OCIServerAttach before OCISessionBegin?
I am not using OCISessionBegin. For connecting to DB server, I am using the following sequence of OCI calls (in this same order):
1) g_OCIEnvNlsCreate
2) g_OCIHandleAlloc //-- error handle: OCI_HTYPE_ERROR
3) g_OCIHandleAlloc // --- sevice context: OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX
4) Setting driver name and application name for the session:
    OCISession* usersession = 0;
    ret = g_OCIAttrGet(m_pSvcCtx, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, &usersession, NULL,
                             OCI_ATTR_SESSION, m_pErrHdl);
    if (ret == OCI_SUCCESS)
        ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"OCI_DRV", 2,OCI_ATTR_DRIVER_NAME, m_pErrHdl);
        ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"ClientApplication", <ub4>(strlen("DataReconScanning")), OCI_ATTR_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER, m_pErrHdl);
5) g_OCILogon() using the user, password and host name, as below:
g_OCILogon(m_pDbCon, m_pErrHdl, &m_pSvcCtx,
                               (text*)user.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(user.length()),
                               (text*)pass.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(pass.length()),
                               (text*)host.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(host.length()));
Thanks.

What is the diffrence between OCI and OCCI?

What is the diffrence between OCI and OCCI?

Will Lee wrote:
What is the diffrence between OCI and OCCI?Beside the other answers, there are a few additional points to consider:
1) OCI is the "gold" standard API. New stuff is always available in OCI first, and only later trickles down to other APIs, like OCCI.
2) OCI is a low-level API, harder to get started with, than OCCI. APIs in OCI are often "untyped", taking a void*, which opens the door for errors.
3) In OCCI you set values, while in OCI you bind them. So OCCI takes a copy of your values, while OCI takes an address at which to later read the value. This opens the door to subtle bugs where you pass the address of a temporary in OCI, which later crashes in some mysterious ways. So OCCI is way safer in this regard.
4) OCI is C code, which is very portable. Because OCCI is C++ code, and on Windows you can't easily mix and match libraries compiled with different versions of Visual C++ (VC6, 7, 8, 9), you have to wait for Oracle to make a new build with the latest MS compiler. Just see the number of questions on this OCI forum and the OCCI one.
5) OCI is used internally by Oracle to write many of their own tools, it's the lingua franca between the Core DB group and the other groups. Since they use it themselves, it's much more stable that OCCI, which is mostly only used by outside customers.
6) The way SQL objects are dealt with in OCI and OCCI is fundamentally different, to the point where you can't mix and match OCCI and OCI object calls.
#1 above is one reason we had to abandon using OCCI, lacked support for the new in 11g BinaryXML, but that's just one example.
IMHO OCI is the way to go, if you want the latest and greatest. Yes, it's more difficult to code against, so the learning curve is steeper, but once you've reached critical mass it's just fine. If you write code in C++ as opposed to C, you can easily make it a lot safer with a thin C++ layer on top which, unlike OCCI, still allows you access any OCI raw handle to do stuff the wrappers don't expose.

I want to order photos on iPhoto. I have logged in one photo, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. How do I order more than one photo at a time?

I would like to order more than one photo on iPhoto. I have downloaded one picture, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. I would like to download other photos to have them printed, too. How do I do that?

Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

Office 365 Pro Plus and ODBC issue

Hi,
ODBC connection works with Office 2013 standard but when Office 365 Pro Plus is loaded on the same machine after removing 2013 standard the odbc connection does not work.
Microsoft query does show the database but when we try to connect the message comes up saying microsoft not working. When I did a odbc trace the log showed error fault 1000 in mso.dll
Have tried the threads on 365 and odbc issues but none of these work.
Grateful if could get some assistance on this.
Kind regards,
Tom

IW31/32- Change Date Restriction choices for "StartPoint" and "End"

Hello,
In IW31/32> Operation tab> then "Dates" screen.
Is there a way to change Date Restriction choices for "StartPoint" and "End."
Start Point: there are 4 choices: Must Start on, Cannot start before, cannot start after, start from resource planning
End: Must finish on, Cannot finish before, finish not later, finish from confirmation.
We want to limit the choice to 2 optiions on Start and End/ in addtion change the text.
Is this possible.
Thanks,

Hi,
No its not possible to accomplish this in standard using configuration functionality.
You may able to accomplish restricting the values on the drop down through the implicit enhancement functionality available in ECC 6.0.
You will have to make a screen modification to make the associated start point/ end point key text editable.

Best choice for format and preset for a simple video

I have a simple video of plain text and some music assembled in AE. I now want to encode it using the Adobe media encoder. What is the best choice of format and preset, if I want to be able to send (or link) the video to others, and have it play well on most devices like computers, particularly a Mac, with whatever the default player they come with?

Thanks for the reply, but I remain flabbergasted by the permutations of format and preset. Why it appears to be a miracle that anyone can watch anything on any device. Who knew such codec madness existed. What on earth is wrong with manufacturers? Surely they should convene in order develop some universal standard, or at least limit the field to a managable two or three options.
Are resolution changes cumulative? In other words, let's say I had a fairly low resolution video, do I need to convert the format and preset to the highest settings to maintain that quality, to avoid something analogous to a fourth or fifth generation magnetic tape copy degredation? Or will matching the quality leave the resolution unchanged?
Also, I have a JVC video camera that uses MOD codec. I just bought the darn thing a year ago, and would have anticipated it would use a current or more common codec. If I send someone a video with a MOD codec, what is the likelihood they will be able to view it? Perhaps I should be converting it? And if so, is Media Encoder the right tool?

Problems installing instant client and ODBC

I am trying to install the instant client and ODBC drivers on an XP machine so I can connect to an OracleXE database via ODBC for an application to use.
I have unzipped the instant client and ODBC drivers to c:\Oracle and added an entry to the PATH statement.
When I attempt to add an ODBC connection I get the error "The Oracle client and network components were not found. The components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle version 7.3 or greater client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed"
Am I missing something in the configuration?
All help appreciated.

did you set your ORACLE_HOME=c:\ORACLE and run the odbc_install.exe?
