Connect to oracle 9i from windows 7

Hi, Thanks in advance!
Database: oracle 9i sitting on a 32 bit machine.
Client: windows7 64 bit computer
installed oracle 11gr2 client
Is there a way to connect to oracle 9i database from C:\Windows\SysWow64\odbcad32.exe on windows 7 machine? or what is the possible way to connect to Oracle 9i database?
What we need is to run crystal reports from windows 7.
Again, thanks and happy holiday!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I installed 11gr2 32 bit client as administrator, but still not work.
When I run odbcad32.exe located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64, a new System DSN can be added using OracleClientHome, but connection does not work. Do I miss anything?
The error message is:
Unable to connect
SQLState=08004
[ORACLE][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154:TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified

  • Connect to Oracle Database from Windows Mobile

    Is there any Oracle Client product that will allow Windows mobile powered devices to connect to an oracle database? I'm using .net and the compact framework 2.0.
    Anyone have a clue?
    Regards,
    Andras Eliassen

    I think I would call it a client tool. Maybe I wasn't so precise in my previous post, sorry. What I need is basically this:
    I have a 9i database that is running on a unix box on my network. I have created a Visual Basic .Net application that is using ODT to select, insert, update and delete records in this database - and also executes some stored procedures.
    Now I'm trying to move to the next step, and I want my windows mobile powered device/phone to do the same thing - Select, insert, update, delete and execute stored proc/pckgs on the database.
    The only way I have found to do this, is by implementing some webservice or something in between my windows mobile device, and the database, because I cannot find dataaccess drivers/components (ODT or the like) that will work on a windows mobile powered device.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,

  • Not able to connect to Oracle EBS from host Windows 7

    Hi, I have installed oracle EBS version 12.1.1 (32 bit) on OEL ver 6.3 (32 bit). I have installed Linux on Oracle VM virtualbox ver 4.1.16.

  • How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

    I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

    Hello,
    I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
    I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
    look at the list of datasource options.
    In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
    If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
    This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
    Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
    You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
    ** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index-097110.html
    Let me know if that helps.

  • How to skip "Connect to Oracle BI Discoverer" window while redirecting URL

    Hi,
    When I am redirecting my discoverer plus URL from my UI screen by providing connection details discoverer first open "Connect to Oracle BI Discoverer" window and then it automatically redirecting to reporting window in which report is getting opened.
    How can I stop "Connect to Oracle BI Discoverer" window to be opened first. I don't want to open this window because I am directly passing my connection details in URL parameter itself.
    While redirecting, only report window should be opened.
    How can I do this ?
    regards,
    devang

    Hello Devang
    Do you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer Handbook (available from amazon)?
    If so, page 899 covers this scenario.
    To help you I have posted the question and answer below:
    QUESTION:
    When we choose a connection or enter the connection details at the Discoverer 10.1.2 Plus login page, the screen flickers and then the connections page is displayed again. After this the Applet starts but in a different window. Is there a way to make Plus start in the same window?
    ANSWER: By default, Discoverer Plus is designed to launch in a separate window from the connection screen. However, to answer your question, yes, you can make Discoverer Plus use the same connection. To do this, you append the following to the end of the URL:
    *?_plus_popup=false&framedisplaystyle=embedded*
    If your standard URL is http://server.my.com:7778/discoverer/plus
    you change this to: http://server.my.com:7778/discoverer/plus?_plus_popup=false&framedisplaystyle=embedded
    This time you will see the Discoverer connections page, applet loading, and Plus interface all appear in the same window. You will also see loading messages and an hourglass display as the session starts, loads, and renders.
    Hope this helps
    Best wishes
    Michael
    PS. I would urge everyone who hasn't got a copy of the handbook to get one. It is packed with more than 1,000 pages of information, tricks and tips dedicated to Discoverer.

  • How to connect to  Oracle database from webdynprojava application

    Hi
    How to connect to  Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    You need to create  Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
    However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
    You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

  • Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

    Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
    In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

    No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
    When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
    Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
    Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
    You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM

    I have a Dell Power Edge Server with 1 network card. I have installed VMWare ESXi 5 on it. Created several Windows 2003 Servers Virtual Machines. Networking is working fine all these windows machines. On one of the virtual machines I have installed Oracel VM Server 2.2.2 (Dom0) and on top of it I am trying to install Oracle VM Template for Oracle 11g provided by Oracle. I am having connectivity issues on the Oracle 11gDB (DomU). I can ping and ssh from Dom0 to DomU and vice versa. But I cannot connect the Oracle DB machine from any other machine. I can connect the Oracle VM Server (Dom0) from other computers in my network.
    Any clue what the issue is ?

  • How to connect to oracle ebs from an external software

    Hi!
    I want to develop an integration for oracle EBS. Therefor I'm looking for ways how to connect to the EBS and for a repository of functions which can be called from an external program. I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to ask but I could not find anything yet so I'm trying here.
    Are there any standard connectors for the EBS provided by Oracle?
    Thanks,

    Oracle Applications Architecture is a framework for multi-tiered, distributed computing that supports Oracle Applications products. In this model, various servers are distributed among multiple levels/tiers as follows:
    - The Desktop Tier --> Web browser with Jinitiator or Sun JRE
    - The Application Tier --> Web, Forms, Reports, Admin, and Concurrent servers
    - The Database Tier --> Oracle Enterprise Edition Database
    The Application tier is the layer which is responsible for:
    - Hosting the various servers that process the business logic
    - Managing communication between the desktop tier and the database tier
    So, in order to connect to the database, you can either access the application tier, or connect directly to the database. I do not think it is possible to communicate with the application services from some other application. Therefore, you would need to connect to the database directly which can be achieved as explained in my previous reply. There is no such API which can be used to open/close a database connection. Oracle E-Business Suite is just a database with number of schemas and objects which are tightly integrated.
    More details about Oracle E-Business Architecture can be found in:

  • Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

    Hi,
    I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
    Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
    My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
    As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
    So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
    Thanking you in advance! 

    Hi Soumya,
    Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

  • Connect to Oracle 8i from Forms 6

    I have installed Personal Oracle 8i and developper 6 in a NT. I got the error when tried to connect to the Oracle 8i from Form Builder. "could not resolve service name".
    I did enter the database name.
    Any ideas?

    This is a tnsnames problem...check the entry in tnsnames.ora and make sure
    its
    point to the right DB...there will be a tnsnames.ora under Network and also
    a
    tnsnames in the developer directory ..FORMS will use the tnsnames under
    developer..
    Supply the connect string with and without the domain to see if
    that works
    You can find the domain name in sqlnet.ora file.
