Configure ASE ODBC on Linux

Hi all,
We are trying to installed the SAP ASE 16 database on Linux.
But is it necessary to set ASE ODBC and the ASE ODBC driver manager?
We are getting an error when we are trying to verify the connection to database..
By default it is using unixODBC.
We have already set the database details in the odbc.ini file as well by using the template file.
But we get the error 'Could not connect to SQL'.
Do we have to use driver manger to connect ASE ODBC to UnixODBC?
Attaching the errors :
version details:

Try typing in the username and password:
isql sampledsn sa sybase
What I used is attached.

Configure ODBC on Linux

I have ODBC drivers for Cache database for linux. My ODI 11g install is on linux (OEL 5). Is there a way to configure the ODBC drivers to connect to the database?
Thanks

I need help, in our project we have setup new solaris server and DBA said they have installed Oracle.
SQLPLUS client is working fine, My question, I have asked my DBA tell me the path where the drivers are installed i.e. .so and I need ODBC.ini file to put my user credentials.
so that i can use that data source in teradata programming. now the problem is he saying the drivers has been installed using mount and ask your application owner, he only cares oracle native drivers.
please tell me how to solve this problem.
I know thrid party odbc drivers would solve this issue, do not which company drivers i should ask.

ASE ODBC driver related questions

Hi Friends,
I am using ODBC driver (the framework over ODBC API) to connect and read data from ASE database server on Windows.
I've few questions about ASE ODBC driver. Can you please guide me.
1) ASE has a DB option called "textsize" which sets the limit on amount data we can fetch in select statement.
     This option can be set either in the DSN configuration (Advanced->Textsize text field) or by "set textsize <number>" for a session.
     --- While scanning BLOBs (image data types), I want to increase this limit to 512MB in my application. But, I don't want to override the limit if user has Text Size field in the DSN configuration.
    * how can we (programatically) find out the Text Size value set in the DSN configuration?
       --- Is it possible using some ODBC function?
2) What is the maximum limit on the data returned by SQLGetData function call at a time?
     --- Can we determine the size of the data stored in a column, especially the BLOB (or image) columns using ODBC API?
         or do we need to run the query "select datalength(ColumnName) from tablename" ?
3) Which the most stable and reliable ODBC Driver Manager for Unix and Linux OSs? Is it unixODBC?
Many thanks in advance for your clarifications and time.
Best Regards

Thanks Paul.
This is not with SQLGetData. In fact, SQLGetData is working fine for me.
Getting this problem when executing query and accessing bound buffers as below (pseudo code):
// Set statement attribute to read by column, number of rows, static cursor and status pointer:
/*struct StmtAttrs
    SQLINTEGER attr;
    SQLPOINTER valptr;
    SQLINTEGER len;
    SQLHSTMT& stmt = m_stmtHdl.m_hdl;
    StmtAttrs parms[5] = \

    SQLINTEGER errcode;
    for (; i < 5; ++i)
        bool ret = sqlSetStmtAttr(stmt, parms[i].attr, parms[i].valptr, parms[i].len);
          // error handling code
//Bind the input buffers for number of columns using SQLBindCol:
//Prepare the query using SQLPrepare
// E.g.: select top 2039 numpk,convert(binary(256),ablob) from myccinfo.dbo.bigdata NOLOCK order by numpk asc ;
// Execute the query with SQLExecute(stmt);
// Fetch the data using SQLFetchScroll(stmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0);
// Iterate thru each column and the bound buffer to read the data

Trouble using ODBC on Linux

Hi there.
I'm fairly new to ODBC, so I apologize in advance if I am missing
some cirtical piece of information in my question.
I am trying to setup ODBC so that I can connect to my Oracle
database from RODBC (a package within the R statistical package),
where R is running on my Linux box where I installed the instant
client.
I have installed the 10.2.0.3 version of the instant client
(basic, odbc, and sqlplus pieces) on my Linux machine.
I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the new lib directory
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib
which contains the libsqora.so.10.1 file.
uname -a yields the following:
Linux stacw34 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jul 25 14:41:56 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have set TNS_ADMIN to point to a directory with a tnsnames.ora
file that contains the following entry:
nickel =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<my_machine>)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=nickel.regress.rdbms.dev.us.oracle.com)
I have verified that the tnsnames entry is working correctly
by connecting to the database using the instant client sqlplus
executable.
At this point, I am trying to connect to the database using the
ODBC piece through RODBC. I have found that the errors I get from R
seem to be the same as those from isql, so I am trying to use
isql to find the root of the problem. Is there a better tool
to validate that ODBC is working on linux?
Anyway, I installed the odbc piece from the instant client, but
I had to do some editing by hand due to the way the machine
is configured. My /etc/odbcinst.ini file contains:
[PostgreSQL]
Description          = ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver          = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
Driver64          =

When I run isql as follows:
isql -v nickel
I get the following error:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
It seems to be that this error occurs because I don't have
ORACLE_SID set. If I set ORACLE_SID to nickel, and then
run the same command, now I get:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
The sqlnet.log file contains the following:

I can't figure out what is wrong with my odbc setup which would lead
isql (and probably RODBC) to use this connect string (beq protocol, etc.).
I am guessing that is where the problem stems from.
Can you help me figure out how to find out what I am doing wrong
when configuring the odbc setup?
Thanks,
Ari
Edited by: amozes on Mar 20, 2009 11:06 AM

That's easily explained.
As you find documented in
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15699/post_inst_task.htm#sthref398
you have to set 'ServerName' in odbc.ini to your TNS alias, in your case:
ServerName = nickel
Since you did not give a ServerName, Oracle assumed that you want to connect to a local database.
As you rightly assume, the ORA-12162 indicates that ORACLE_SID is not set, which is needed for a local connection.
If you set ORACLE_SID, Oracle will try to establish a local connection by executing a server process $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.
Since this executable cannot be found, you get the ORA-12545.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
PS: Your solution is better, as it does not require a tnsnames.ora file.

Configure TNSNAMES for SOLARIS & LINUX

How can i configure the TNSNAMES file on the server that has Solaris as its Operating System(OS) and another server that has LINUX as its Operating System(OS).
I tried to configure the TNSNAMES on LINUX server and connected it but it gives an error.
The following is how i have defined in my TNSNAMES file on the client machine:
TZR =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = tzr)
VIS =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.67)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = VIS)
For SID TZR the toad and workflow is getting connected but for VIS it is giving me the following error:
ORA-12537: TNS: connection closed.
NOTE: TZR server has OS Windows 2003 server installed while VIS server has LINUX as its OS
Please can any one help me how to connect to the database?
Thanking you in advance,
Chetan

12537, 00000, "TNS:connection closed"
// *Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
// *Action: None needed; this is an information message.
There must be additional messages that point to why the connection was closed. This message (as you can see from the above description) is pretty meaningless ito why the disconnect happen.
Wild shot in the dark:
I have seen this however with an incorrectly configured firewall. On iptables one would typically create a rule as follows:
# Allow Oracle Listener connections
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1521 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
However, it alone does not suffice as you need to add:
# Stateful Packet Inspection to allow established connections through
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

ODBC on Linux: libsqora.so.10.1: undefined symbol: _tcsnccmp

I try to access an Oracle database via iODBC from openSUSE Linux 10.3.
I have installed the following packages from the Oracle web page:
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-odbc-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
and I have installed from iodbc.org
libiodbc-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm
libiodbc-admin-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm
libiodbc-devel-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm
After a bit of configuration I called:
$ iodbctest NMR2
iODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008
1: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib/libsqora.so.10.1: undefined symbol: _tcsnccmp (0) SQLSTATE=00000
2: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM003
What is _tcsnccmp and where can I get it from?
Googling around leads me to a prototype
int tcsnccmp(const TXCHAR* string1, const TXCHAR* string2, sizet count);
and it seems that it is a localised string comparison routine. I found it in Windows and
WINE documentations - do I have to install WINE in order to use Oracle ODBC?

not sure whether installing WINE will help, try with 11.1.0.6.0 version of instant client libraries.

Help Using Instant Client ODBC on Linux

I am familiar with using ODBC and visual basic under Windows. I would like to use the Oracle instant client ODBC under Red Hat ES3 within a C or C++ program to access an Oracle database.
Where can I find documentation related to this:
a) setting up an ODBC connection on Linux
b) installing the Oracle instant client on Linux
c) building an application with Oracle instant client ODBC
Am I correct in assuming that any C/C++ ODBC code examples from windows could also be used on Linux.
Thanks,
Werner

We are also interested in the very same thing. We are using third party compiler called SIMSCRIPT from CACI which has a module called SDBC for database connectivity. SDBC requires ODBC to be installed/configured. Our application is for Linux, therefore we are interested in using the ODBC driver on Linux clients to connect Oracle database servers on Linux and Sparc. I see the odbc related zip (for 10g) and rpm (for 11g) instant client files on the OTN Instant Client download page. How to install/configure odbc instant client? Is there a document/whitepaper/Metalink Note ?
Thank you

Shared disk (SAN EVA 4400) configuration for ASM on linux RHEL5

Hi all,
I want to install RAC database (oracle 10g on RHEL5). Now we are configurind shared storage for the both servers (nodes). In disk configuration (SAN on EVA 4400) we have created the volume group for the disk to use for ASM and present the disk group to the servers. Actually when we check the server we cannot see the disk (shared storage).

brw-r----- 1 root disk 104, 8 Jul 1 14:29 c0d0p8
(they are local disks not the shared disk)
My questions are:
- How to mount the disk to be seen in the server
- How to configure the disk for ASM is there any document for this. In my knowledge the disk to use for ASM doesn't need to be formated with a file system and shouldn't see when we run the df command.
Does anybody can help me as it's very urgent for us.
Thank you

Hi all,
NOw the disk is presented to server. but my actual problem is how to create shared partition of this disk for the servers.
Our actual status is we have created one volume group with 500 Gb in the sun and this volume group is called vg_oradata. we will use this storage for OCR, voting disk and the databse file (ASM). A si know from documentation i have to create one shared partition for OCR, one shared partition for Voting disk and another for database.
That i want to do is creating for example :
ocr_partition (25 Gb) : for OCR
vote_partition (25 Gb): for Voting disk
oradata_part1 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part2 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part3 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
My problem is how to create this partition because when i'm trying to create it from Logical Volume Manager of Linux i cannot find them in to servers.
I mean i'm new in system administrator and our SAN vendors also doesn't know how to it in LInux system.
Could you help me please if possible.
My system is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5 and i'm going to use Oracle 1Og RAC.
Thank you

ODBC on Linux

I have C++ code that uses ODBC to access a data source. I would like to port this code to run on Linux and have it access an Oracle 8i database also on Linux. Yes I can get ODBC drivers for 8i, but if I understand the drivers correctly they just provide a service that takes tcp/ip, or remote command, requests and forward them to the database. I will need these drivers to forward ODBC requests to the database. What I need is either a C library that takes ODBC calls and converts them to some ipc mechanism and talks to the Oracle database, or a cook book chart that maps ODBC calls to OCI calls. Can this be found anywhere? I am sorry if this is not the correct forum (if it isn't please direct me to the proper forum). I've already tried the Linux forum but they were useless.
Thanks,
Andy.

Check with Merant Corp at www.merant.com. The last time I checked they had ODBC drivers at least on Solaris sparc, HP, and AIX.

OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 & MySQL ODBC on linux. Generated SQL is wrong.

Anyone know how to fix this situation?
We are running OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Redhat Linux 5.3 with MySQL ODBC connector.
When connecting to MySQL we have need to connect to multiple databases.
Problem is that OBIEE is generating incorrect sql.
Example:
select * from db_name..table_name;
Note the two dots between db and table.
This is incorrect syntax for MySQL. Should be only 1 dot.
But I can't find a way to get OBIEE to only use 1 dot.

MySQL is not a supported Datasource.

ODI reading Excel via ODBC on Linux

I've got ODI loading data from Excel via ODBC with everything running on Windows, and it runs fine!
But will this work when I run ODI on a Linux platform? Will I have to buy some kind of ODBC driver for Excel under Linux? Has anyone done this before?
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks
A

There exists a native JDBC driver for excel, it is a sourcefourge project. This allows you to read excel data irrespective of platform through JDBC rather than having to use the JDBC/ODBC bridge.

will these commands work on both linux and unix or just unix?
gunzip < mysql-xxxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
./configure with-apache=/path/to/apache/dir with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

I would give it a try all of the commands you listed exist on my redhat box ie. tar, gunzip, ./configure.
but when you are untarring you can type:
tar -zxvf xxx.tar
and it will untar and unzip it for you.
what program are you trying to install?
