Connect to 10g oracle server from 9i client

Hi All,
Is it possible to connect to 10g oracle server from 9i client or Should i install 10g client on my machine?
Regards,
Seena

Depend of what releases you are talking about.
The client 9iR1 has never been supported against a 10gR2 server.

Connecting to remote oracle server from asp

Hi All
How can I access remote oracle server from asp?. I'm using the following connection string.
" Provider=MS Remote;Remote Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=XYZ;Remote Server=http://DBServersIP;User Id=id;Password=pw"
Both the web server and DB server has oracle client. I can tnsping, connect using sql * plus from the webserver.
But when I try to do simple connection & query , I get the following error.
" Microsoft ADO/RDS(0x80072EFD)
Internet Client Error: Cannot Connect to Server.
All the permission settings are given correctly (after referring Microsoft & Oracle websites)
Can someone throw some links or help.?
Your replies much appreciated.
Thank you
Arum

why do you have http://DBServersIP as the remote server?
Your connection string should look like:
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=MY_SID;Uid=my_user;Pwd=my_pwd;"
There are other variations, but none of them should include HTTP anywhere.

Connecting to 64bit Oracle 11g from 32bit Client on Windows 7 64bit OS.

Hi All,
We have installed Oracle 11g 64 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit system. As we need to run some 32 bit application on the system, We installed 32 bit client and try to configured Local Net Service Name Configuration using Oracle Net Configuration Assistant and during test, it is unable to connect and giving the following error.
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

Fred=================================
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the listener using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
)Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Next, tns sends a request to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the request arrives at port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, you'll be connected.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
Third: If the client is on the same machine as the db instance, it is possible to connect without referencing tnsnames and without going through the listener.
Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tigertns will attempt to establish an IPC connection to the db instance. How does it know the name of the instance? It uses the current value of the enviornment variable ORACLE_SID. So...
$> export ORACLE_SID=fred
$> sqlplus scott/tigerIt will attempt to connect to the instance known as "fred". If there is no such instance, it will, of course, fail. Also, if there is no value set for ORACLE_SID, the connect will fail.
check executing instances to get the SID

Can't Connect to Yosemite VPN Server from Mavericks Clients

Hi All,
I upgraded my Mac Mini Server to Yosemite and none of the Mavericks Clients I have (a 13 inch MBA and a 2010 MM) can connect. However all other machines running Yosemite can connect without issue, this includes another 2010 MM and an 11 inch MBA and all iOS 8+ devices. I've tried deleting and recreating the VPN configuration in the local machines. Anyone else seeing anything like this issue? The Mountain Lion to Mavericks upgrade had a similar issue but I believe that racoon was just broken in that release.
Thanks

Hi Linc,
One of them I am upgrading, the other is a machine I am waiting on a different application to update first prior to upgrading. I am guess I am just a bit frustrated, after the Mountain Lion to Mavericks update I had to call in 4 times and talk my way to enterprise support to get anyone that would even try to assist with Server/VPN. It was the 3rd call that they actually acknowledged an issue- guess I was just attempting to verify if others were seeing this prior to calling in. I don't think its unreasonable to think a server upgrade could support clients like with an OS that is a year old. Just want to make sure I am not "seeing things" when looking at racoon logs and seeing very familiar error messages.
Thanks

Cannot connect to Oracle 10g XE Server from Client

I have tried in vain to connect to the Server from a client installation using both browser and SQLPlus. Someone help me out pls...
Glogo.

I have read the SelfStudy many times but Sheila can't help me. I have installed 10g XE Client on a different pc and tried connecting as follows to no avail:
FROM Run SQL Command line; I entered "conn glogo/*****@GServer:8080/apex" the report I always get is
ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occured
From Internet Explorer; I entered "http://GServer/127.0.0.1:8080/apex" the report I get is internet explorer cannot display the webpage
I ensured the listener is on by typing LSNRCTL STATUS on the command line of the system running the Server. The report indicates that the Listener is ready.
I am still wondering what is wrong! I have also changed network setting from DHCP to static IP without results. What next friend(s)? Do you know?

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Find how many users are connected in the Oracle Server

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10g. My question is, is it possible to find how many users are connected in the Oracle Server. We are having one Server and we are having many client machines which will connect the Oracle.
And one more question in the meanwhile i want to take Backup of one database which client as connected. Is it get any problem to the client machine which is accessing the server. And How to take the backup from the server machine. Any commands to process.
Thank u...!

Hi there.
If You run
select count(*) from v$session where username is not null;you'll get the number of users connected to Oracle server,
and yes , you could do backup while users are connect to db you are backing up.
cheers

Connecting to the Oracle Server

I want to write a small application which will connect to the Oracle Server (10g).
I have downloaded the ojdbc14.jar from the Oracle site. What should I do with it now ?
Someone told me that you have to add it to classpath. Which classpath ? the systems ? or in the project itself ?
and how will I be able to connect to it ? I mean which api(s) should I use.
Can anyone help me please

It should be in the classpath of your application that connects to DB.

Access Oracle 9i from a Client Application without Oracle Client Install.

Is it possible to access an Oracle Database from a Client Application without having an oracle Client Installation ?
I want to write a program that connect to an Oracle Server. I use Borland C++. But my Programs only works with having the Client Oracle Software installed on the Client. Is there any way to realise this ?

The way that 99% of the people that want to do this manage is to write Java code that connects to the database via JDBC, using Oracle's thin JDBC driver.
If you absolutely have to use C++, you can purchase thin ODBC drivers from third parties (DataDirect for example) that will connect to the database without the Oracle client. I'm not aware of any thin, free ODBC drivers.

Connect to MS Sql Server from Java Source

Hi,
Is there any way I could connect to ms sql server from Java source? I know I can call java source from function thats easy but what I really want is capability to connect to non-oracle(MS SQL server) from my java source and then call it from function.
I don't know if JDBC driver for SQL server is even installed/available. Is there a way I could find it out form my IDE? I know sqlJ does compile but I have never used sqlj. help!!!

Connecting to a NT server from another server

Hello, All. I was wondering If anyone knew the best and more efficient way to connect to a NT server from another server. Once the connection is made I need to be able to execute .cmd file on the NT server.
Thanks
Donald

I doubt if there is a "best" way. Do you want to do this programatically or interactively?
Interactive methods include:
Run a terminal server on the NT box and telnet to it.
Run a webserver on the NT box and create some simple server side script to execute the .cmd
Programatically:
Create a simple server to listen on a port, recieve connections, and execute command that are passed. (This is signicantly more arduous than the interactive methods, especially if you want some user authentication).
Use RMI or CORBA

Connecting to network SQL Server from SQL Developer

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to network SQL Server from SQLDeveloper but I am unable to connect( I am getting could not connect to SQL Server...). I have searched many sites but could not find the solution. I am giving HostName as MachineName\InstanceName and keeping the port as 1433.
Can anyone explain how that connection string should be given.
Thanks.

From help with additional comments
Host Name: Host system for the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
E.g., sybase.myCompany.org (DNS name or IP address)
Port: TCP/IP Port on which Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server will listen.
As mentioned by others, need to know how server is configured. Common values: 1433, 5000
Retrieve Database: Name of the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
Once the other data is correct, press this to populate list box and select which database you want associated with this connection. E.g., pixar, pubs2, etc.
