Connect to Remote Oracle Database

I am unsuccessfully trying to connect to remote Oracle database using OleDB/ODBC/Oracle Client.
Do I have to install Oracle Client in order to use those drivers and which version?
I would really appreciate any help. THANK YOU!

Marina,
Please refer this question to the general Installation forum. Thanks!
The short answer is yes, you need to have the Oracle client software installed.

    Hi,

    You have:
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@175.3.41.248/KNWAPROD";Example URLs I've seen/used are:
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//myhost:1521/orcl";
    String URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@//myhost:1521/orcl"In other words, I think you've munged your URL; you need some slashes and a port number (1521 is the default).

  • Sqlplus to connect to remote oracle database server

    Hi,
    I have oracle 10g database server on solaris 10 and I usually connect using my solaris account and run sqlplus on the server itself. this works !
    I have downloaded and installed oracle instant client for solaris 64 and I can run sqlplus command but I am confused on what should be the syntax on the command to connect to remote solaris 10 databse server where I have both system and oracle account.
    I have tried sqlplus help but still I could not get correct sysntax which could be used to authenticate myself to oracle server.
    I tried
    sqlplus user@hostname:1512/SID
    then it asked for password but when I typed password and pressed enter, it gave some error
    but it again asked for username so I type user@SID and then password prompt - typed password and this works!
    so I don't understand what should be the correct syntax so that in the first attempt only I am able to connect.
    if possible please give the exact command with realworld examples,(I have tried with sqlplus -help already)
    Thanks in advance.

    wonder what if I did not have tnsnames.ora on the client machine, how will be the syntax?You generally need (or at least strongly want) a tnsnames.ora file on the client machine.
    - You could configure Oracle Internet Directory and let that product provide TNS alias resolution for the organization (similar to setting up DNS for a local network).
    - Many tools (I haven't personally tried SQL*Plus and it may be version dependent) allow you to specify the entire TNS alias from the tnsnames.ora file (i.e. everything after the abcd.domain.com = entry) but that is hugely cumbersome to type
    - Depending on the Oracle client version, the sqlnet.ora file, the complexity of your configuration (i.e. if you are trying to use more sophisticated features like failover), you may be able to use the EZConnect syntax
    sqlplus username/password@host:port:SID/service_nameWhere host is the server that the database is running on, port is the port the listener is listening on (i.e. 1521 by default) and SID/service_name is the SID or service name you're trying to connect to.

  • How to connect to remote Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

    Hi,
    I am very new to Oracle. I have created a successful application using OCCI call (createConnection()) to connect to local (resided on the same PC) Oracle Database. Now I would like to move the application to resided on a different PC and try to connect to Oracle Database. Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this? Well at least for me, self study on OCCI documentation is pointing to the right direction ;-)
    OCCI requires only four shared libraries (or dynamic link libraries, as they are called on some operating systems) to be loaded by the dynamic loader of the operating system.
    Installing Instant Client resolve this.
    Cheers!

  • Not able to connect remote oracle database over VPN

    I can not connect remote oracle database over VPN. tnsping is ok and it shows the server information of remote database. i can also telnet the 1521 port of remote database server. I can connect the same server when it is located in the same LAN. Please help me out this is very urgent.

    First, this is a forum of volunteers.  There is no "urgent" here.
    "Urgent" means one of two things -
    1) people are dying, or
    2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
    (And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
    For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
    For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For *them* to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
    You don't have a support contract?  Now you know the exact dollar figure that your company places on the data.
    That said, you need to understand a few things about your specific problem,
    First, port 1521 is only used by the listener to accept a connection request.  Once it gets that request (and finds that it is for a service (sid) that it knows about, it will fork a server process and tell the requesting client that it can communicate with that server process over some other port .. a randomly chosen port number in the "high" range.  It could be your vpn is blocking that other port, whereas your internal firewall is not.
    But this is just an educated guess since I cannot find "can not connect remote oracle database over VPN" in any error message manual. If you had mentioned the VPN along with an actual oracle error message we could be much more precise in our diagnoses and recommendations.
    ---- edit 22 Sep
    It occurred to me that I just assumed you were using the same client machine in both cases ... a laptop that you use both at work (local network) and home (vpn).  If that assumption is false, there are probably problems with your tns setup on the home (vpn) machine.
    But again, it would be much easier to help if you gave us an actual error message.

  • Using Oracle ODBC Gateway connecting to a remote Oracle database

    Oracle 11gR2
    RHEL 6.4
    Has anyone use the Oracle ODBC Gateway to connect to another Oracle database?  Any issues with that configuration?  Where do I get the ODBC drivers for Linux?
    (I know, "why not use a dblink?" -- well that would be against company security policies)

    Hi,
       From the Oracle point of view we support using DG4ODBC for Oracle to Oracle connections. However, we have not actually tested it as DG4ODBC is primarily designed for access to non-Oracle databases.
    How DG4ODBC will work between Oracle databases depends on the ODBC driver and what that supports. You will need an ODBC Oracle driver which you can get from various suppliers including Oracle but also vendors such as DataDirect, Easysoft etc. You could try a Google search.
    You say you do not want to use database links but that is how DG4ODBC is used, You cannot do -
    sqlplus user/password@dg4odbc_oracle
    Once Dg4ODBC is setup and configured as in this note - if you are using Linux 64-bit -
    How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
    then in the Oracle database you create a database link and select from tables in the other Oracle database -
    select * from table@dg4odbc_db_link ;

  • How to setup my c# command line application to a remote oracle database?

    Hi all,
    I will like to ask, how do I setup my C# program to be able to connect to a remote oracle database?
    More information:
    - I have an oracle database express version running on my PC.
    - I am able to run and get data from the database on the same PC.
    - But when I bring my application over to another PC within the same LAN. It does not run and given me an error stating "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client".
    What do I need to do on the Client PC so that I am able to communicate back to the server database?

  • Connecting To Remote Oracle Server

    Hi All,
    I'm new to Oracle and have been given the task of migrating photographs stored as BLOBs in Oracle to Fedora Commons.
    At the moment I'm having problems using SQL-PLUS to connect to the remote database.
    So far this is what I've done:
    1 .Downloaded:
    instantclient-basiclite-win32-11.1.0.7.0.zip
    instantclient-sqlplus-win32-11.1.0.7.0.zip
    2. Extracted the above to C:\Program Files\Oracle Instant Client
    3. Added C:\Program Files\Oracle Instant Client to the start of my PATH variable
    4. Created a tnsnames.ora file in the above directory with the following contents:
    RDF = (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.209.2.40)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    5. Added a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN and set it to C:\Program Files\Oracle Instant Client
    I then checked the setup by opening cmd and running sqlplus [username]/[password]@rdf which results in this error:-
    SP2-1503 Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
    SP2-0152 ORACLE may not be functioning properly.
    I have Googled this and most suggestions point to setting the ORACLE_HOME variable. However, I want to connect to a remote Oracle database so I don't see why this causes the problem and also even if I had to set that variable what would I set it to?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Keith

  • DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases- which method?

    For using DBA Planning Calendar to schedule BR*Tools for remote Oracle database AS Java systems I have successfully implemented both the Secure Shell and SAP gateway methods in [Note 1025707 - DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1025707] and was interested in which of these two methods others have found to be more supportable and maintainable?
    In more detail, the note has these two methods for non-ABAP remote systems:
    2. Connection through Remote/Secure Shell
    Specifically Secure Shell. Rejecting remote shell as too old and insecure a protocol.
    3 Connection through SAP gateway
    The note provides clues as to how these methods work. Expanding on that:
    With #2, central ABAP system calls out to its OS user level to execute the ssh client (after gw/rem_start has been set to the non-default value SSH_SHELL) which it finds in the location specified in gw/ssh (default value is /usr/bin/ssh). It must use password-less authentication and the key-based authentication must also not require a passphrase. (Using ssh-agent is not an option since this is being called from SAP, not from your own script.)
    It remotely runs via ssh a command, sapxpg, which must be found in the PATH of the remote user. (This is why the note, which has you place this exe sapxpg and a subset of the BR*Tools in the home dir of the remote user, also has you make sure the home dir is included in the path--your OS might or might not include the user's home dir in the path in the default shell environment for a new user.)
    Then via sapxpg, the BR*Tools are invoked.
    One thing that may be confusing here is you have to check at least one gateway parameter 'gw/...' in the central system to get the method #2 the non-gateway method to work--this is because the two methods are technically almost the same: in #2, secure shell is used to basically start a gateway on the fly with sapxpg in order to call the BR*Tools each time a DBA Planning Calendar action runs or you view DBA or Backup logs of the remote system from the central system. With #3, the gateway runs continuously on the remote system.
    With #3, central system connects to remote SAP standalone gateway, which executes the BR*Tools installed in the standard SAP kernel directory of the SAP gateway. This method is simpler to describe so it sounds like it has less components than the secure shell method, however you do have an entire SAP system running, although it is just a standalone gateway.
    Thoughts:
    These pros/cons are UNIX/Linux-oriented since I assume most Windows environments do not have added 3rd-party products that provide secure shell so SAP gateway is the only method.
    Secure shell
    + Less software required (not counting secure shell which comes with the operating system distribution): just a few SAP executables placed in the home dir of an ordinary user on the remote system.
    + Secure shell service probably automatically starts upon boot of the remote system operating system.
    + Secure shell is a widely used tool outside of SAP for executing commands remotely without passwords.
    - Installation is non-standard: shell environment of remote user is not adapted by SAP installer since SAP installer is not used, SAP executables in the home dir of the remote user is non-standard. Has to be setup manually.
    - Requires setting up secure shell key-based authentication, which should be known by UNIX/Linux admins or combined Basis/UNIX/Linux admins, but might be less familiar to SAP Web AS only admins.
    - If your admin config policy is to have SAP interact as little possible with the OS level for interfaces with other systems, here you are relying on the OS-level secure shell.
    - Using a private key that does not require a passphrase on the central system may not fit with your security policies if you have standards for secure shell configuration.
    SAP gateway
    + The gateway is a standard installation, performed with SAP installation tool, with the exception of a few additional environment settings that have to be added after the installation. BR*Tools are installed in the standard location. Can use standard procedures for updating this software.
    + Only uses SAP software.
    - More software on remote system: standalone gateway just to run BR*Tools and view logs.
    - SAP Kernel of remote gateway should probably be updated whenever you do SAP kernel updates across your systems for consistency. One more system to update.
    - Shell environment of remote user that runs the gateway looks like something setup by the SAP installer but is not standard because it has a few additional environment variables added.
    - Need to make sure the SAP gateway is started on the remote system.

    Hi Joe,
    I configured a monitoring/dba landscape for two SAP Portals and one SAP BusinessObjects system on a SAP landscape by using DBACOCKPIT, at a customer site. These systems are running on AIX, Windows 2003/2008 servers and attached to the central monitoring system with standalone SAP gateway installations.
    One another reason to not use OS based commands or 3rd party tools is security. We are stopping and disabling most of the services on OS where SAP system is running on, because of the security reasons. I faced more security gaps on rsh/ssh and the other tools than standalone SAP Gateway installations. As you can figure out that rsh/ssh is getting more attack than standalone SAP Gateway, because of well known by the IT world.
    As a summary of it, this depends to point of view and policy of the IT organization. I applied both ssh and standalone SAP Gateway solutions at my customers, but I choose standalone SAP Gateway installation among of them.
    Best regards,

  • Connect to Remote Oracle Server?

    Hi all,
    What is the recommended method for connecting a Windows 2000 web server to a remote Oracle database? Ideally, a driver could add the remote Oracle database to our local list of ODBC datasources.
    We're using ColdFusion (web application development package) to connect to local ODBC datasources. A prospective client of ours would like to use our ColdFusion web server, but with their own Oracle server providing the back-end database, rather than use our native Access or SQL databases. I'm happy to do this, provided a simple, secure and free solution is available.
    The ColdFusion support forums talk about an "Oracle Client" though I can find no reference to it -- let alone, a download page -- on Oracle.com.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    The general procedure for connecting a web server to an Oracle database via ODBC is as follows:
    1) Install the Oracle client on the web server machine. You can download the Oracle client from OTN by going to "Software" and choosing "Oracle 8i EE". If you have an Oracle CD, "client-only" is an installation option. Note that the 8.1.7.0 ODBC driver will be installed automatically when the Oracle client is installed. You may want to download and install the updated 8.1.7.2 ODBC driver.
    2) Use the Net8 Configuration Assistant to provide the Oracle client with the connection information for the remote Oracle database.
    3) Create a new ODBC DSN for the Oracle database (alternately, your application can make a DSN-less connection)
    4) Now, your application should be able to connect with the Oracle database.

  • Connecting to an Oracle database after clicking on a foi

    Does anyone know how or have any examples on how to connect to an oracle database after clicking on a 'feature of interest' in MapViewer? I want to be able to click on a 'feature of interest' on the map, and have a list of records from an oracle table displayed using the identified key of the foi. I am able to create the feature of interest, and add the event listener for 'mouse click', but am unsure how to connect to the database at this point. I have been able to connect to the database in a different jsp, but not from here. Thank you.

    1. Create a JSP page that does the database query. It should take the foi id as an input parameter.
    2. In the foi mouse click listener, display the JSP page in iframe. The iframe can be placed outside the map or inside the info window. The function should do something like this.
    function myClickListener(point, foi)
    mapview.displayInfoWindow(point, "<iframe id='my_iframe_id' frameborder=0 width=300px height=400px />", 300, 400) ;
    var myIframe = document.getElementById("my_iframe_id") ;
    myIframe.src = "http://myhost/myjsp?key=" + foi.id ;

  • 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.
