There is idea how can resolve this problem

For all how have similar problem.
Decision instead of these ways

<%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql" %>
it is necessary to indicate these

How can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

how can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

Hi Again
There is a library by Mimer which allows you do connect to a Mimer SQL Server, don't know must about it, but here is a link.
http://developer.mimer.com/
If that doesn't suit you, I suspect that you will have to use some sort of proxy solution. Either by creating a servlet to accept the sql string you want to send, or by creating your own custom proxy server running J2EE. The servlet or the proxy server must be able to receive an SQL String, do the query to the actual database and return the results in some sort of format to the mobile device. Maybe just a space delimited string.
Hope this helps

Connecting to a database from another computer...

hi guys!
i just wonder if there is a simple way to connect to my database from another computer?

Connecting to a database from Business Components JSP Application

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.

Connecting to multi databases from Oracle Forms

I am trying to connect to 2 databases from my form. The primary
connection is to a datbase where reports information(i.e. Report
name,parameters) is saved. When the form runs and user picks a
report to run, i want to change connection to a different
database which reports runs against. I am using Forms6.0 against
8I database.
Can any one help ??
Thanks

Database links are the only answer if you need distributed
transactions.
If you only want to access several different databases without
transaction coordination between those, then, you may use the
facilities of the EXEC_SQL built-in package.

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.

Connect to remote database from forms

hi,
I installed 10g developer suite on windows.I have a 10g database running on HPUX server.
I need to connect to this database from forms ( i,e from windows ).
Do i need to install an Oracle client so that forms can talk to a remote database?
I edited C:\Forms_Dev\NETWORK\ADMIN/tnsnames.ora to include the remote database entry. It's not working. So I am thinking maybe I need to install oracle client as a go between.
Thanks

Do i need to install an Oracle client so that forms can talk to a remote database?No, Tnsnames (NET8) is enough.
Write us you tnsnames.ora or try
tnsping <serverdb> from client, and check.

ODBC Driver to connect to Ingres Database from OBIEE

{font:Verdana}Hi, I have a requirement to source data from an Ingres Database into OBIEE. I have checked and found that Openlink Software provides an ODBC Driver to connect to Ingres Database from windows OS. Has any one tried this or any alternate method to source data from Ingres DB to OBIEE?
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Kiran{font}

Kiran,
+
Sorry for bad news, but my opinion is that whatever isn't in doc that it's not supported. Oracle engineers do thorough testing and the list of compatible DBs is created. Also, even if you manage to make it work - you're going to hit a roadblock with any support issues you might have. Also, you won't be able to take advantages of certain DB-related OBIEE features. So you are're potentially exposing yourself to too many risks if anything goes wrong at mid-development stage.
My advice would be building your DW around Oracle-supported DB.
Good luck

Error while connecting to the database from a JSP Page

Hi,
I am using a simple JSP page which is based on the sample JSP pages from OTN.
When I try to connect to my database using the following code:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
OracleDataSource ds = (OracleDataSource)ic.lookup("jdbc/OTN9iDS");
m_connection = ds.getConnection();
I get the following error:
Naming exception Error while connecting to the database : javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc/OTN9iDS not found in JDBCTest-JDBCTestProject-webapp
Does anybody know wht this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated
FRank

Hi Frank,
Are you using standalone OC4J or 9iAS ? If you are using standalone OC4J then you need to add a proper data source entry in %OC4J_HOME%j2ee\home\config\data-sources.xml file.
If you are using 9iAS the you can log in to the Enterprise Manager console and add the data source entry by using wizard provided by 9iAS.
Ensure the case of the JNDI lookup string, since, it is case sensitive.
Hope this helps.

Connection to Embeded Database from Crystal Reports XI

I am writing an application that uses a SQL Server Mobile Database. I have not been able to determine how to connect to this database through Crystal Reports.
1. Is it possible?
2. How do I provide the connection string that uses only 2 parameters?
Gene

When you create a DSN the ODBC string expects information for Server, Database, Username, and Password. When you are working with an Embedded Database, typically you have a filename and a password (which can be null). I was not able to create a DSN for this connection.
What I have been able to get working is the following:
1. Create an ADO DataSet Object within the application.
2, Create the CR attaching ot the DataSet Object.
3. In the application code where you are attaching the CR to a viewer you must
      a. Define a Data Adaptor for the DataSet.
      b. Define a Data Table and load the table from the DataSet GetData() method.
      c. Define the full path to the report file.
      d. Define a ReportDocument Object
      e. Load the report path in the the ReportDocument Object
      f. Define the DataTable as the Data Source to the ReportDocument Object
      g. Define the Viewer ReportSource as the ReportDocument Object.
I have been able to use this approach on 3 separate reports and returned the correct data. A lot of steps, but it is working.

How to connect to oracle9i database from Unix

Hi All,
How can i connect to remote oracle9i database(windows based) from Unix. I have following server information Server IP, Username , Userpassword , DataBase name.Do i need any other information to connect to server?
How can i connect database from Putty?
Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
please help me i am new to oracle .
Thanks in advance.

Oracle generally uses a special set of software, commonly called the SQLNet or Oracle Networking, as a layer to provide a connection between the client and the database server.
In general terms,
- the client software (perhaps sqlplus, an application, ODBC) calls Oracle Networking on the client computer and says "please connect to database known as 'x'";
- Oracle Networking translates the request, often by looking up 'x' in the TNSNAMES.ORA file at the client side, to get the host name, the port the Oracle listener is waiting on, and the name of the database service to access;
- Oracle Networking contacts the computer on the required port. If the listener is there, the Oracle Networking client asks for a connection to the database service;
- The Listener (if it recognizes it) asks the database service for a 'server process';
- The database starts up a server process which grabs a network port and tells the listener which port was obtained;
- The listener tells Oracle Networking on the client which port to use;
- The client disconnects from the Listener, and reconnects at that port;
- The server process starts authentication and session initialization, after which we are good to go.
In answer to your questions:
1) How can i connect database from Putty?
That implies you want to telnet to the Windows box and run the client stuff locally on the Windows box. So that means you need to look at telnet or ssh documentation - this has nothing to do with Oracle.
2) Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
Not really. It does mean you might want to install an Oracle CLIENT (see the download section of http://otn.oracle.com) which will initiate the sequence as above.
A different sort of client is SQL Developer, a Java-based GUI with it's own built-in Oracle Networking, that displays database stuff. That is also offered by Oracle at the same download page.
3) and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
Oracle provides a C/C++ API as a pre-processor, called Pro*C. I suspect this si way beyond what you want right now.
4) please help me i am new to oracle .
Please, please, please, please, please ..... please .... purchase and read http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oressentials3/
