Unable to connect to Oracle Database using Oracle Sql developer 2.1.1.64

Hi Everyone,
I am searching for some help regarding my problem with Oracle connectivity. I have installed Oracle 11g release 2 on my Windows XP Professional Laptop. For a few days after installation i could connect to the Oracle database with the SYSTEM account using Oracle SQL developer ( installed on the same Laptop) but now i am unable to do so.It gives me this annoying message:
An error was encountered performing the required operation Got a minus one from read call .Vendor code 0
However i am able to connect using Sql Plus by supplying the username SYSTEM and the corresponding password.
My TNSNAMES .ora file is as follows:
ORACLE =

My Sqlnet.ora file is as follows:

I am new to Oracle and so i need someone in this forum who can help me resolve this problem. Also i even tried connecting to the database using Toad 10.5.0.41. It give me the following error:
ORA 12537 : TNS Connection closed
Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

Cant connect to Oracle database using oracle db client

Hi All,
I recently created a virtual machine running windows server 2008 on my windows 7 host. Oracle database 11g is already installed on host OS(windows 7) and I have installed oracle 11g client on the guest OS(windows server 2008) and trying to connect to oracle database from remote server using oracle client but getting this error:

Thanks Nicolas,
Actually, there was a problem with my oracle client installation. I uninstalled it and then installed back again but still, even after following your instructions I get some error.
Here what I did:
Created tnsnames.ora file as below:

(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.56.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

Placed it under appropriate directory and then checked the connection with database using the command shown below:

But still getting error.
I Googled this error and tried to figure out what the problem is and came across the possible cause which is because I haven't specify that the service should run as a user who is in domain admin group.
well, I am not really sure about this and dont know what user name and password I should enter in OracleserviceHR84DEV-properties-log on-this account.
do I really need to set this?

Unable to establish connection to oracle database using sql developer

hi guys,
i tried to connect to the oracle database using the sql developer, but it fails. it replies the following message:
Status: Failure -Test failed: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
what should i do? any help

Please provide a little more information:
1) SQLDeveloper version.
2) Database Version.
3) Database location (same machine or on the network).
4) Connection method (basic,TNS).
5) Connection type (Thin,Thick/OCI).
Usually the first thing to check is if you have correctly entered the right information for your database connection, then if everything seems to be OK the database itself should be checked for potential problems.

Connect to Oracle Database Using Netbeans

I am trying to connect to Oracle but it keeps saying that it is locked.
***Error:
Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE using oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver (ORA-28000: the account is locked )
Just a FYI, this is the link that I am using to go through this program...
https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/oracle-db.html
Any suggestions anyone??

Ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled Oracle and it still wasn't working. However, it was an user issue. When I went back to the link that I previously posted and reread, it gave me the user name and the password that I was supposed to use, in order for this to work.
username: systems
password: whatever I used to set up Oracle.
So, I didn't KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.
Thanks for trying to help.

Connecting to Oracle database using c# project

I m new to oracle database, Right now I am using oracle 10g XE,some how I have created all the tables procedures etc I am able to connect to the same using sqlplus/server explored/XE

my connection string is
<add key="ServerDB" value="Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=localhost;uid=xyz;pwd=xyz"/>
please help me in this
I m not sure whether the provider name I m using is correct or not. please help

For the Microsoft OleDb Provider for Oracle the connection string should look like the following:
Provider=msdaora;Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword
Note that it's User ID and not UID. You can find more examples below, depending upon which driver/provider that you are using:

Connect to ORACLE database using SDKODBC Wrapper

hi everyone,
i have tried connecting to ms access database through SDKODBC Wrapper.
by the same way, i have also created a odbc connection from control panel-> admin tools -> ODBC connections.
for a oracle database.
i have also verified the URI and it says true.
URI is some thing like this,
"odbc://oradb?table=table_1&emp_no='123'#emp_name"
when i am trying to connect with the oracle DB it returns ODBC error
ISDKODBCWrapper::ODBCState mstate = sdk.Query(uri, WideString(newValue));
if (ISDKODBCWrapper::ODBCNormal == mstate)
do i need to configure in DB side so that it works fine?
thanks,
raja.

Unable to connect to oracle database using RODM

Hello,
I am trying to follow the steps described in
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/datawarehouse/saternos-r-161569.html
but I keep getting the same error message after the
DB <- RODM_open_dbms_connection(dsn="orcl", uid="dm", pwd="dm")command. The message is
Error in typesR2DBMS[[driver]] <<- value[c("double", "integer", "character", :
cannot change value of locked binding for 'typesR2DBMS'
and doing a traceback() I get
2: setSqlTypeInfo(driver, list(double = "double precision", integer = "integer",
character = "varchar(255)", logical = "varchar(255)"))
1: RODM_open_dbms_connection(dsn = "orcl", uid = "dm", pw = "dm")
Could anyone suggest some way to fix this? I am stuck and I need to get this working asap.
Thank you very much in advance

Hello Mark,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried installing Oracle R Enterprise but I got stuck again, this time apparently because I do not have Oracle database 11.2.0.3 but rather 11.2.0.1.0.
So I would like to ask you if there is some way of using RODM, or some other way of having R access to ODM algorithms?
Thank you,
Filipe

How to connect Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X PPC G4, XCode 2.4.1?

Hi All,
How to connect the Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X? I have used Instant Client library "instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3" provided by the Oracle but could not be success. I'm using PowerPC G4, Mac OS X 10.4.9, and XCode version 2.4.1.
Specially Mr Oscar Armanini has done this in C on Mac OS X. Please let me know. I would be very thankful to you.
Thanks,
Ghufran

The second Metalink Note uses an OCCI example.
I have never used Instant Client (neither on Os X or on other platform),
but I was successful on compiling C programs (no GUI involved) using the
Full Client installed on my PowerBook G4.
I'm a DBA, but I was a developer years ago (about when Oracle 7.3
was considered a giant step forward): I installed the Oracle 10.1 db
(a complicated job for a developer) and I got the Full Client
installed as well, for free, so I was happy to compile one of the demo C sources
(those that you can find in the Oracle Pro*C manuals:
by the way, Oracle Pro*C manuals are really worth reading).
Good luck

It will also show you how to setup and test a sample program, cdemo81.c, that uses the Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
to connect to the database.
The sample program is located under the <Instant_Client>/sdk/demo directory.
Solution1. Download the following three (3) files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
You will need an account to do this.
Macintosh OS X 10g Instant Client Software
a. instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (32,395,622 bytes)
b. instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (326,740 bytes)
c. instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (293,913 bytes)
NOTE: The above three (3) files will be updated as new patches are released for the 10g Instant Client software. 10.1.0.3 or later versions (10.1.0.x) of these files may be used similarly with this article.
2. Save the following text into a file called tnsnames.ora:
# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
# error when running the setup script and attempting to connect to Oracle
# from SQL*Plus then the name of your SERVICE NAME (i.e. ORCL) may require
# that you include the DOMAIN (i.e. US.ORACLE.COM) in order to connect successfully.
# To obtain the DOMAIN of your environment, type "hostname" from your shell
# and it should report this information back to you. Configure your SERVICE
# NAME to look like Example 2.
# Example 1
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = orcl)
# Example 2
#ORCL.US.ORACLE.COM =
# (DESCRIPTION =
# (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
# (CONNECT_DATA =
# (SERVER = DEDICATED)
# (SID = orcl)
3. Save the following text into a file called sqlplus_script.sql:
SELECT user FROM dual;
SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SELECT 'successful ' AS TEST_RESULTS FROM dual;
exit;
4. Save the following text into a file called setup1:
# ===========================================
# MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
# ===========================================
# DESCRIPTION
# ===========
# This script will install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software
# for the Mac. It will install the Basic, SQL*Plus and SDK (OCI/OCCI) packages
# and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
# Once this script has completed, you will need to run the script SETUP2 to build
# and run the CDEMO81.C sample application located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder
# in your newly installed Instant Client home.
# NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully, you MUST perform any
# necessary actions required under the SETUP section below.
# SETUP
# =====
# (1) You MUST be in a directoy with ALL of the following files
# BEFORE running this script:
# 1 - instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
# 2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
# 3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
# 4 - tnsnames.ora (configured properly)
# 5 - sqlplus_script.sql (connectivity test)
# 6 - setup1 (this file)
# 7 - setup2 (will run this file later)
# (2) Edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file and update it with the necessary information
# to connect to a database on your network. Be sure to note the comments
# in this file. You will have to change the following information:
# SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
# HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
# PORT (1521)
# SID (orcl)
# (3) Go to the end of this scrip and modify the following line:
# ./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
# Replace "orcl" with the SERVICE NAME you used in step (2) above.
# (4) To run this script use the command: ". setup1"

5. Save the following text into a file called setup2:
# ===========================================
# MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP2
# ===========================================
# DESCRIPTION
# ===========
# This script will build and run the OCI sample application CDEMO81.C inside
# your Instant Client (IC) software located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
# NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully
# (A) you MUST have already run the script SETUP1 successfully
# and
# (B) you MUST perform any necessary actions required under the SETUP
# section below.
# SETUP
# =====
# (1) You need to edit the CDEMO81.C application PRIOR to running this script to
# change the connection information. By default, the application will attempt
# to connect as user SCOTT with password TIGER to a local Oracle database using
# the BEQ-LOCAL network protocol. This will not work.
# (A) You need to make sure you have the SCOTT/TIGER schema created in your database.
# If not, have your DBA create it by running the script "SCOTT.SQL" from your
# <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin folder.
# (B) You need to modify the CDEMO81.C application to connect to the database
# you have configured inside your TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# (i) Open the CDEMO81.C file located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
# (ii) Find the following line of code:
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"", strlen(""), 0);
# and change the two empty strings to the SERVICE NAME you are using like so
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"ORCL", strlen("ORCL"), 0);
# (iii) Save the file.
# (2) You MUST be in the initial directory where you copied all of the files listed
# in script SETUP1. In this same location you will find SETUP2. Run SETUP2 from
# this location.
# (3) To run this script use the command: ". setup2"
# BEGINNING OF SCRIPT

6. Take all seven (7) files and move them into the same directory on your OS where you want to install the Instant Client software from:
1 - instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
4 - tnsnames.ora
5 - sqlplus_script.sql
6 - setup1
7 - setup2
7. Open the file tnsnames.ora. Be sure to review the comments in this file. You will have to change the following information to connect to a database on your network:
SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
PORT (1521)
SID (orcl)
Save the file.
8. Open the file setup1, go to the end of this script and modify the following line:
./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
Replace orcl with the SERVICE NAME you used in Step 7 above. Save the file.
9. You are now ready to install the 10g Instant Client software for Mac OS X. From the location where your seven (7) files reside, issue the following command:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
NOTE: Be sure to include the period "." and a space " " before the word "setup1" so all environment variables persist for the current session.
This will install the Instant Client Basic and SQL*Plus software and connect to the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
10. Here is the sample output of a successful execution of the setup1 script:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
TNSNAMES.ORA FILE
# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

How does one connect to an Oracle Database using OO4O as sysdba using VB 6?

Hi,
Can any one give suggestion to connect an Oracle Database using OO4O as sysdba using VB 6.0. Generally it supports only database, userid/password only.
For Eg:
Option Explicit
Dim m_oraSession As Object
Dim m_oraDatabase As Object
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Set m_oraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set m_oraDatabase = m_oraSession.DBOpenDatabase("Database", "user/password", 0&)
MsgBox "Connected to " & m_oraDatabase.Connect & "@" & m_oraDatabase.DatabaseName
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Set m_oraDatabase = Nothing
Set m_oraSession = Nothing
End Sub
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.P
E-Mail: [email protected]

You can't connect AS SYSDBA with OO4O.

Connect to Oracle database from Perl on Solaris x86

Hi,
How can I connect to Oracle database using Perl scripts on Solaris x86. It seems that DBD-Oracle Perl module requires Oracle client installed to work. Is there any Oracle client available for Solaris x86? Any one got a workaround? Thanks.
Angus Lee

Yes, you absolutely must have some portions of the rdbms installed before you can proceed. If your Solaris x86 machine is only a client, then you can get away with installing just ?/rdbms/mesg and ?/rdbms/lib.
I have Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.0.6, and 8.1.6 for Intel Solaris 2.6. I don't know if they'll run on Solaris 8 or 9 but I'm trying to upgrade at this very moment. As long as you conform to Oracle developer license, then you may download them from my machine.
I believe the reason Oracle dropped their Intel Solaris port is probably because Sun went through a period where they themselves dropped their Intel port. They've picked back up and if enough Oracle on Intel Solaris customers scream, then Oracle might pick it back up again too.
Send me an email if you're interested in the downloads.

Connecting to an Oracle database using ASP

Hi
I am having problems connecting to an Oracle database using ASP. I am trying to do this for a school project the school's database server is running Oracle 9i. The repository is version 6. The web server I have access to only has ASP not ASP.net. What kind of connection string would I need to be able to connect to the database?

You do need to ensure that the Oracle client and Oracle server are compatible, but that is generally pretty easy to accomplish. Unless you are trying to cross more than one major release (i.e. 9.2 client to a 7.3.4 database), you're pretty safe there.
You could try downloading and installing the latest 8.1.7.x Oracle ODBC driver from OTN on the machine with the 8.1.7 Oracle client (I believe the last ODBC patchset was 8.1.7.10), but I don't have particular confidence that that will solve the problem. If it doesn't, we can do an ODBC trace to focus in on the issue, but installing a new driver is a much easier process, so that probably ought to be the first step.
