Connecting java apps to Personal Oracle 8.0.3

I would like to find out exactly what driver to use in order to connect Java to Personal Oracle installed on my PC.

this version of the product has been out of support for over a year.
you need to move to the current version which can be located at the "download" site on the technet home page.

Difficulties connecting with oci8 to Personal Oracle 8 on Win98

After looking through responses to other similar difficulties posted, I still can't seem to get this working.
I have Personal Oracle 8 running on Win98 on a laptop. I'm using Sun jdk117 and trying to connect with oci8 because the thin driver won't work without a TCP/IP listener which I understand Personal Oracle doesn't support.
There's an entry in my PATH pointing to c:\jdbc where the oci805jdbc.dll file is, and an entry in CLASSPATH pointing to c:\jdbc\classes111.zip .
To start with I'm using a simple connect program which shouldn't do much more than make a connection and close it again (please see below).
The program compiles fine, but when I run it all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no oci805jdbc in shared library path
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Compiled Code)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:561)
at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.logon(OCIDBAccess.java:186)

at connect2.tryconnect(connect2.java:19)
at connect2.main(connect2.java:42)
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>
I can't see any reason why there should be problems linking oci805jdbc.dll as PATH definitely has an entry pointing to the directory where it is located.
Doubtless I'm doing something silly, or I'm missing some essential configuration parameter.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
program code:
import java.sql.*;
class connect2
public int tryconnect()
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println("in tryconnect()");
/* Load the Oracle Driver */
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.out.println ("going to attempt connect");
try
/* get the connection */
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle ci8:@laptop:1521:ORCL", "system", "manager");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println ("Database Connect Failed");
System.out.println (e.getMessage());
return (1) ;
return (0);
public static void main(String argv[])
throws ClassNotFoundException , SQLException
System.out.println ("in main()");
/* Create the instance */
connect2 c = new connect2();
System.out.println ("connect instantiated");
/* Call the tryconnect. Returns 0 if success , 1 if failed */
int Csuccess = c.tryconnect();
if (Csuccess == 0 )
System.out.println("Successfully Connected");
null

Thanks for your kind response.
I'll have a look through the docs and see if I can find out how to get the TCP/IP listener running with Personal Oracle.
I've been trying to use oci805jdbc.dll from the jdbc80520-nt.zip download file.
Since the original post I've been trying to get the connection working with the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge, but all I get is:
C:\apache\jserv11b3\servlets>java connect2
in main()
connect instantiated
in tryconnect()
going to attempt connect
Database Connect Failed
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default drive
r specified
The java code is identical apart from:
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
and
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc dbc:LAPTOP;database=ORCL", "system", "manager");
The relevant entry in tnsnames.ora is:
LAPTOP.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =

Many thanks for any help.

Connecting Developer 6 to Personal Oracle 8.1.0.5

I installed Personal Oracle 6.0 and Developer 6.0 on Windows 98 in different homes.
Have I install a network card to be able to connect Developer 6.0 to the personal Oracle 8.1.0.5 ?

Hi, how are you?
I read your file. On my computer, I got the same problem. First I installed Personal Oracle 8.15 version under window 98. The oracle home is e:\orale\ora81. Then I installed Form 8i in the orale home e:\oracle\ora. After installation, there are two SQLPLUS. One is under ora81 and another is ora. The one which is in e:\oracle\ora81 is working and it can bring up the database. Another one and Forms don't work. They can not connect to the local database. It means my client which is under e:\oracle\ora can't connect to my server which is under e:\oracle\ora81. I think I shoud set up the connection in tnsnames.ora by using Net8 Easy Config. I did it. It failed. Can you help me?
Thanks.

No, you shouldn't have to to.
If you have Personal Oraacle 8 running properly on your PC, then you can just connect to the database from Developer V6 using your normal username/password. For example, if you log on to SQLPLUS as scott/tiger, then the same will work for your forms and reports. You don't even need to enter a connect string. I have it working OK on a Windows '98 PC, with Personal Oracle 8i, and Forms v6i.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

well as reports )
my queries are
1) what should be installed first
a) personal oracle 8 or developer 2000
b) what about their home directories
2) what all i need to do after installation to establish
a connection between Personal oracle 8 and developer 2000
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS
TARUN

install them in 2 separate homes.
start your database listener (lsnrctl start).
create a sqlnet connection using the sqlnet easy config utility
in the forms home.

Best way to connect java app to multiple databases?

I'm working on my first commercial application, and I want it to be as flexible as possible, meaning I want it to be able to connect to a wide range of databases, as the customer chooses. I'm wondering what the best way is to accomplish this, I don't really want to have to buy a commercial license for third party ODBC drivers, any one have some good comments on this?

You have two fundamental options:
Use an O/R mapping tool like: Hibernate, EJB BMP, JDO, etc.
Develop your own using JDBCIf you opt for the former, you should ask youself, "What value do i add? Or should I simply use these technologies?" The advantages are that dozens of other developers, going down similar routes, have faced the obstracles you will face and more. The disadvantage is that none of these developers has actually faced your specific problem. This is not to say that the solution does not already exist. The efficacy of this methodology will be how closely the general solution fits with your own (and since many problems have the same challenges, this will often be true).
If you opt for the latter, you will have both an opportunity and a pitfall. The precise, business issue your current project addresses has many things both in common with other projects and also a handful of unique challenges. The hard part is determining whether this challenge actually differs in some fundamental way, or whether you have discerned some fault or opportunity in your methodology compared to standard (or even cutting-edge) practices.
In reality, the challenge of "connecting to numerous, heterogenous (and probably vaprous) database systems" has long been addressed. Addressed, but perhaps not solved. If your goal is to develop a class library, for personal or consulting use, or to increase your understanding of the O/R boundary and best practices to obviate it, then my best advice is to read existing literature, and give it your all. There is no right answer here, and building on an existing experience of failure and success is indispensible.
If your aim is to solve the O/R mapping challenge, or to suppant JDBC BMP, Hibernate or JDO, then my hat is off to you. We are all eagerly awaiting that day. (Sadly, after much effort, it has not yet arrived).
So, can you connect Java to multiple databases, and even a diverse array of RDBMS vendors? Of course! But what will you do with those conections?

Connecting two machines using personal oracle

I have a personal oracle 8.0.4 installed on my machine, I tried to connect another machine to use the same database, as a networking both machines were able to access the other but upon trying to connect to oracle I always get TNS message.
Would you please advise.

Make sure that your listener is started along with the oracle version. use lsnrctl command to start view listener status
lsnrctl> status tells status
> start to start
> stop to stop listener
now you need to configure the tnsnames thru net8 easy config or manually. it works
good luck

CORBA connecting Java app to a C app

Hi.
How do I call a C app from a Java app. The C app is running on a Unix server and the Java on my desktop.
I've done the tutorials but it still doesn't help.
I'm using JBuilder and Visibroker to create all the file needed (IDL, etc).
Thanx
Elbert

In CORBA, the programmation language dosen't matter.
You can call a C++ server from a Java client without any problem.
Can you give an exemple of your Java client ?

How can i make my java app auto reconnect to Oracle.

Scenario:
when i am working with my java app if suddenly Oracle server connection unplugged. Then i got some problems regarding database.
When they replugged the connection, i need to restart my app again. Then it works fine.
Question:
When the database is replugged or restarted, then how can i reconnect to the DB automatically with out restart my app. Please letme know is there any auto reconnect process is there for Oracle.

If you want your application to reconnect, you would need to add logic that catches the exception that gets thrown when the connection is lost and tries to reconnect.

Developer 6 (Graphics)/Personal Oracle 7.3.3 - Connectivity

SQL*Plus, Forms and Reports, all seem to connect to Personal
Oracle V7.3.3 OK. However when I connect with Graphics, although
I get a message indicating successful completion, the logon
dialogue box is still displayed and the connection hasn't
succeeded.
Any ideas?

Faisal,
You may already have resolved this issue but just in case you
are still getting problems, here is some info that may help.
I faced the same problems with Oracle Developer 6 and Personal
Oracle 7.3.3. Oracle Developer 6 uses Net8 to connect to the db
whereas Personal Oracle 7 uses SQL*Net, hence the TNS problems
you have been getting.
There is a solution. Oracle Support suggested that you had to
have a listener running in order for the connection to work. To
do this you needed to instal the SQL*Net Add-Ons from the
Personal Oracle CD, configure TNSNAMES.ora to point to a dummy
IP address and start the listener. When I tried this I
discovered that you don't infact need amend the TNSNAMES.ora
file or run up the listener. As long as the SQL*Net add-ons are
installed, the connection from Oracle Developer 6 to Personal
Oracle 7 seems to work.
Hope this is of some help.

Cant connect java with oracle

i am new to oracle.
i cant connect java(jdk1.3) to oracle using 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver' in Class.forName() and DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl","scott","tiger")
it shows "class not found" error.
is there any one to suggest or help me?

Hi,
you are posting in wrong forum, as this one is for SQLDeveloper-related issues only. You should post java-related issues in this forum:
SQL Developer
However, about your exception you have missed to put the oracle jdbc driver in the classpath.
Download it from here:

Java App connection to an Oracle Database through Oracle Stored Procedure

My team's access to its Databases (Oracle only) is restricted to access through Oracle Stored Procedures that are part of the Oracle Database. So, in my Java App I need to call the Stored Procedure that will give me the access to the table that I need, declare the right parameters and execute the command. The Stored Procedure will then hand me the data I need.
I am finding support on the web for creating Stored Procedures in Java, but that is not what I need.
Can anyone post here a class that addresses this, or point me to a link that will shed some light on it?
Thanks

Sorry this code is unformatted - I can't see how to format it.Use \ tags
I am looking for Java code that will do what this .NET code below does (connects to a database and writes data to the table through an Oracle stored procedure that is part of the Oracle Database.)
So learn Java, learn JDBC and translate the requirements; don't attempt to translate the code as the platforms are too different.
From a quick glance it looks like a JDBC CallableStatement can do the job.

Set up DB Connection Pool for Oracle DataBase Using Java App Server8

Hi,
In the Admin Console of Java App Server 8, I tried to create a connection pool for the oracle database. I chose Resource Type to be "javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource" and the Vendor is Oracle. So the Data Source Class Name is filled by the system to be "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource". Now, I set up the class path to point to the database driver class "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" and also the to the Data Source Class Name. Also I set up the JVM options in the console. Restart the server, and then try to ping to the database, but get the error:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Connection could not be allocated because: No suitable driver
I don't understand what else I should do and why this error is coming?
Please help me out.
Thank you
Regards,
Sarah

Hi,
I've already solve the problem. I did the following:
set the Url to be: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SID
set username
set password
add oracle.jdbc.drivers.OracleDriver into the JVM options -Djdbc.drivers
restart the server
test the connection
it works :)

Sql_trace does not work for Java app using Oracle JDBC thin driver

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. I enabled sql trace at instance level by setting sql_trace and timed_statistics to true in init.ora. I restarted the db instance. I wrote a stand-alone java application which used Oracle JDBC thin driver(classes12.zip) to make a connection to my db instance, do some select statements, and close the connection. There were no trace files generated in the folder specified by udump_dest variable. However, if I used sqlplus or dba studio, I saw trace files generated. Has anyone got Oracle sql trace work for JDBC calls from java apps.
Thanks in advance!
