Connecting SQLDeveloper to 11g database

i need to make new connection for SQLDeveloper connecting it to the 11g database SYSDBA account , plzzzz tell me how to do this

Hi,
Sorry about the confusion. As you can see from the following forum threads, this has been addressed in various ways over time. Either use the preference in Tools|Help|Database|Advanced or a TNS_ADMIN environment variable to direct the search for tnsnames.
SQL Developer reads multiple tnsnames.ora* files
SQL developer is using "old" tnsnames.ora files(+not using global ignore)
Also a documentation bug, bug 13106242, has been fixed for 3.1 EA3 which explicitly recommends using the preference.

Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

Hi All
We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
Regards,
Raj

Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?

Failover not working while connecting to Oracle 11g database

Hi,
We have a J2EE application that connects to Oracle 11g database.
The connection URL we are using is as below
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=abc.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= xyz.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PQR)))
The issue that we are facing is, the database failover is not working.The application only connects to the first host in the TNS entry.Evertime there is a failure in the connection to the first host,manual steps are required to swap the hosts.
This started happening after we upgraded Oracle DB from 9i to 11g.
We are using the client jar of 9i to connect to 11g. Could this be causing the problem?
Thanks In Advance.

Yes, you are right. Nothing else was updated.
The application still works as expected except the failover.If you are correct then I seriously doubt it has anything to do with java. It would be something to do with Oracle and/or network infrastructure.
If not then it is some small problem with the driver. You can try updating the driver but I wouldn't expect a fix.

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?
How to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Once you installed the Forms and Reports, you need to configure the paramters like tnsnames.ora in you path.
There will be one folder in the Installation path of Forms and Reports search for tnsnames.ora file..and you need to Updated the file as per the which ORACLE Server you are connecting and then try.. it..
Default path for forms will be "ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin".. search for tnsnames.ora and modify it..

Issue in Connecting to Oracle 11g Database

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11g database using loopback adapter. (used ip 10.10.10.10). In the drivers file did the following entry
ipaddress computername.domainname.com computername
How can I connect to this database from other computer in the network ex:using sqldeveloper? (When I try it says "Network adapter couldnt establish the connection")
Thanks,
Ramesh

from other computer in the network Oracle version on that computer ?
Did you configure a connection string on that computer ? If so, please post your tnsnames.ora. If not, what did you do exactly ?
Also, from the server post the result of "lsnrctl stat".

Can Oracle 8.0.6 reports connects to Oracle 11g Database

First of all: using the word 'urgently' is inappropriate and rude in a forum of volunteers.
Edit your post and apologize publicly for using it.
Secondly your question is a rhetorical one, as it's answer is:
OF COURSE NOT

Error connecting to Oracle 11g Database

Hi All
I am testing .NET connectivity to Oracle 11g and I am not successful for a while.
I've tried to connect to database using library included in Oracle 10.2.0.3 Client and as a result I've got "invalid username or password" error. Then I've tried to use ORAC 11.1.0.5.10beta. I successfully connected to the server, but when I try to exec any query my program hangs.
Both of them work correctly with Oracle 9i database.
Also I've tried Microsoft .NET provider and it connects and executes queries fine (though 3 times slower).
How do you think what is reason or how can I find the reason?

Not able to connect to oracle 11g database source through OBI Server

Hi,
I am having an issue regarding the database connectivity.
Iam unable to connect to the oracle 11g database through OBI server. However its connecting through SQL Plus with same username/password@hoststring. Its giving the error as :
[nQSError: 17001]Oracle Error code:1017,message:ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied at OCI call OCILogon
[nQSError: 17014]Could not connect to Oracle database.
Please help me out in resolving the issue.

If it's working in one place and not the other then it's obviously not an OBIEE problem.
Are you typing it in right??
Do you have multiple tnsnames.ora files pointing to different databases, maybe sqlplus is picking up one and toad & OBIEE the other and so the username/pw is wrong for that database?
There's a limited amount that can be said to help, as the error is 100% clear what the problem is :) it's just working out whether you're connecting to the database that you think you are connecting to, and then whether the username & PW you're entering is correct for that DB.
BTW OBIEE 10.1.3.4 is supported with 11g, and we're using it without problem here.

JDBC Drivers for Weblogic to connect to Oracle 11g database

WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.6.0
We had Oracle 10g database that we were connecting using JDBC data source (driver : Oracle's Driver (Thin XA) for instance connections; versions:9.0.1 and later). We migrated our database to 11g now. Is it still the best driver to connect to 11g database or should we change it to something else?

why not using an 11 driver to connect to db 11g?
maybe the following posting helps although is focuses on db 12c:

*Crystal Reports 2008 connection to oracle 11g database error IM003*

Hi ,
I am getting the following error when connecting to Oracle 11 g database using Crystal Reports 2008.
_Logon Failed:Details: IM003:Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 127 ( Oracle in OraClient11g).
Datebase Vendor Code:160.
The Login and Pw that I am using are correct.
*Could you please let me know any steps that i need to do to resolve this problem.

Hello,
I haven't seen that error in years... There was a version of Oracles client that did not put the client install into the PATH statement.
Add the Oracle ...\Bin folder to your System Environment variables and then it should work.
Thank you

How To Connect To Oracle 11g Database From Microsoft Excel

Hi All,
I have Windows7 64bit installed in my laptop.
I have Microsoft Excel 2007 installed.
I tried connecting to Oracle database ( This is not a local database).
Navigation used:
Data> From Other Sources > From Data Connection Wizard > Other/Advanced > Next > Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Oracle > OK
Now I get a pop up to enter:
username
password
server
When I enter all the required details I get this error "ORA-06413 CONNECTION NOT OPEN"
Is there no need to give PORT number?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install oracle client on the machine? Can you do "tnsping <SID>"? Can you connect to DB using sqlplus ?
Try using tnsname for server name.

Oracle 10.2.0.4 client/ODP connecting to 11g database

Hi Folks -
Are there any know problems using an Oracle 10.2.0.4 client and the 10.2 ODP/ODAC client to connect to an 11g database?
Normally ,we'd use the Oracle 11g client/ODP but it is giving us errors so we need to go back to 10g
..any foresee-able problems with this?

soryy it took so long to reply.
we hit a bug which was supposed to be fixed in 11g client but is still there. OraOps11x.dll causing IIS 6.0 to crash. Took us a week to figure out what it was and didn't even consider it being an error caused by the 11g client until MS support pointed it out in a dump file we had them analyze. Oracle support confirmed it was true and last I heard they plan to have it fixed in the next update to the client, which they say is scheduled for end of July 2008. I hope it is fixed, because we're running into other problems with the 10.2.0.4 client also (ORA-21500 [%],[%],[%],[%],[%]).

Error while creating a JDBC connection to Oracle 11g using WLS 6.1

Hi
I am trying to connect to Oracle 11g database on Weblogic 6.1 server.
First of all i would like to know if this is compatible?
The environement that i have is this
1. JDK 1.3
2. Database 11g is on remote system
3. Oracle client on my local system ( Connecting to the 11g DB through the client works fine)
4. Weblogic server 6.1
5. Currently the application is connected to Oracle 10g DB and working fine(We are attempting to move it to 11g)
Below are the steps that i followed to create the connection:
1. Made an entry for the datasource in config.xml under <WLS_DOMAIN>/config folder as below
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
MaxCapacity="4" Name="CADConnectionPool"
Properties="user=abc_proxy;password=proxy_abc;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=thin"
RefreshMinutes="5" ShrinkPeriodMinutes="10" Targets="CAsvr"
TestConnectionsOnRelease="true" TestConnectionsOnReserve="true"
TestTableName="dual" URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@gen11t-ora.db.lab.xyz.com:1530:GEN11T"/>
2. Restarted the server.
3. Ran the application and get the following error on the server console:
<Aug 22, 2011 12:39:42 AM CDT> <Error> <JDBC> <Cannot startup connection pool "C

The driver being used by your weblogic is too old and incompatible with the DBMS. Upgrade the driver.

ORA-12504 error when connecting to Oracle 11G DB using OCI and instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip

Dear Friends,
I am using OCI and instant_client (11.2.0.3.0) in my C++ program (on Windows 7) to connect remotely to 11G database.
While doing a connection using server name as well as servername:port/service_name as connection strings, I am getting error of ORA-12504 TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA.
According to instant client FAQ & white paper at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html, no tnsnames.ora is required for instant client. Then why could I be getting this error?
I ensured that only the instant client directory is in Path environment variable. There was a ODBC driver installed on this same host. Could that be modifying the behavior of instant client?
Kindly guide.
Many thanks in advance for your help and time.
Best Regards,
- ganesh

>>what is the exact connect string you are using?
For connection, I am using the plain hostname on which the DB server is running.
>>are you calling OCIServerAttach before OCISessionBegin?
I am not using OCISessionBegin. For connecting to DB server, I am using the following sequence of OCI calls (in this same order):
1) g_OCIEnvNlsCreate
2) g_OCIHandleAlloc //-- error handle: OCI_HTYPE_ERROR
3) g_OCIHandleAlloc // --- sevice context: OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX
4) Setting driver name and application name for the session:
    OCISession* usersession = 0;
    ret = g_OCIAttrGet(m_pSvcCtx, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, &usersession, NULL,
                             OCI_ATTR_SESSION, m_pErrHdl);

Import an 11g database in the oracle 8i server

Is posible to import and sql file exported from 11g to 8???? HOW CAN I DO IT, THERE EXIST OTHER WAY TO PERFORM THIS??
thank you very much

What is the technical or business need for this requirement ?
Pl identify exact versions of "11g" and "8" - typically export from a higher release to a lower release is done by connecting with the client of the lower version ("8") to the database of the higher version ("11g").

Do you have a client for your "8" version ? Even if you do, it is highly unlikely you will be able to connect to a "11g" database using this client.

If you somehow succeed to connect, you may or may not be able to succeed.
