Connecting to Oracle from Microsoft Excel

My apologies if it has already been answered in the past. However, what I am looking for is a way to connect excel to Oracle and pull data. I know that I can install SQLPLUS etc and that will install the appropriate drivers. However, is there any package which has minimal drivers and networking components? I do not want to install anything heavyweight for this.
Also, if you could briefly explain the steps, I will be able to find my way through.

If you're after a lightweight install and using a 10.2 client is acceptable (i.e. all your databases are 8.1.7.4 or later), you could use the Oracle Instant Client. The documentation on the Instant Client home page is pretty good and walks you through how to configure things.
The Instant Client, though, is designed more for folks that are delivering packaged applications and need to deliver a stripped down Oracle client as part of that install process. As such, it requires rather more involved configuration than the full-blown Oracle client, which is a friendlier install process for humans.

Importing data from Microsoft excel file to Oracle Database with Multiple Data Tables. Need expert advice and guidance

I posted a query on Importing data from Microsoft Excel to Oracle Database (Multiple Data Tables). I got some answer and reference from the forum.
I presented to my Oracle consultant and representative from Oracle Malaysia. They said impossible. I do not believe what they said. I do believe can be done.
Can someone help or direct me to an expert that can help me on this

We don't know the "query on Importing data from Microsoft Excel to Oracle Database (Multiple Data Tables). "
We don't know where you posted said query.
We don't know what "some answer and reference" you received "from the forum."
We don't know what it was that your "Oracle consultant and representative from Oracle Malaysia" said was "impossible".
So on what basis are we supposed to "help or direct" to "to an expert that can help "?

Error connecting to Oracle from when running SSIS Package on Windows 64-bit

Hi.
I have an SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) Package that reads a view on Oracle and loads data into table in SQL Server 2005. This is on a Windows 2008 Server (64-bit). SQL Server 2005 with SP3. Oracle Client 11g (32 bit & 64 bit) Runtime Version installed on server. The server has been rebooted since installing OracleClient.
I get the following error when run as a SQLAgent job 64 Bit (Execution type SQL Server Integration Services Package)...

When I execute this same exact package as a SQLAgent job 32-bit (type Operating System CmdExec) it runs successfully. When I run the package using the Execute Package Utility, it runs successfully. When I am editting the package in BIDS I can connect to Oracle. For both 64 and 32 bit, I use a dtsconfig file which specifies the Oracle connection string and password.
Someone mentioned on another forum that maybe there is no Oracle ODBC driver for 64-bit Windows. I would assume that the OracleClient 64-bit would include that.
I hope I have included all info needed. Please let me know if you may have a resolution to this problem.
Thanks.

I was trying to transfer data from oracle to sql server 2008 on a daily basis.
I have very hard time connecting to oracle from ssis package on windows server 2008. I am almost dead and cannot find any help. i was able to connect to oracle using import/export 64 bit feature of SQL Server 2008 using Oracle provider for OLEDB. But I am not sure why the same does not work with BIDS?
Here's the environment info:
1. Oracle Client 10g
2. SQL Server 2008
3. Windows Server 2008
Appreciate your help. Please save me.

Extracting data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

Hi,
I am currently developing an application that requires to extract data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Is that possible to archieve it?
If it is possible,your precious guidience will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

There are several approaches.
1) Export the data from the Excell in "CSV" format, which is simple enough to read as an ordinary text file.
2) Use the open source POI package, which reads and writes XSL files (amongst other popular formats).
3) Use the JDBC/ODBC bridge and the Windows ODBC driver which allows and Excell file to be treated as a database. (More details in above reference).
4) Use another open source package to connect to Excell via the COM+ interface, and access data therein.
Personally I favour the POI package.

Create a table in SQL Server, Export tables from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft SQL Server, Populate the created table

Hello team,
I have a project that I need to do, what is the best approach for each step?
1- I have to create a table in Microsoft SQL Server.
2- I have to import data/ tables from Microsoft Excel or Access to Microsoft SQL Server. Should I use Microsoft Visual Studio to move data from Excel or Access?
3-I should populate the created table with the data from the exported data.
4-How should I add the second and third imported table to the first table? Should I use union query?
After I learn these, I will bring up the code to make sure what I do is right.
Thanks for all,
Guity

Hi Ross,
>> In our testing environment using both Excel 2010 and 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate.
I suspect it is caused by the difference of web server security settings.

Hope it will help.

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.
Connecting to Microsoft Data Sources Through ODBC Connection This shows how to connect using ODBC connection. I think this would be more appropriate.

       )Can someone help me...maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
Note: I also tried creating this query in Microsoft Query (the simple way) and when I first create it...it works...But then if I go back in to edit the query, and refresh the query or try to Return data to Excel, it gives me a ORA-00936 error message.
Why it works when I first create the query in Excel, I don't know. But I have to validate the queries I'm creating (SQL or not) and I can't validate it if every time I go into edit the query (which may have to happen; that's why I have to fix this before I can submit my validation).
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I know I'm replying to my own threads here...but I want to add a little bit more information again.
I was successful in figuring out that changing the :criteria to a ? worked.
I tested this on 1 criteria at a time. Adding one more scenario ? at at time.
It only worked up until about 3 scenarios of each criteria.
Then when I refreshed the query in Microsoft Excel Query, I got an "out of memory" error, and then it ended up just erasing the SQL I had been using.
Here's the SQL I had where it gave me this error. Am I possibly just making Excel work too hard? It just doesn't make sense because Toad for Oracle handled it in like 4 seconds. Which brings me back to an intial question I had. Can Excel use Toad for Oracle somehow?
Here's the code:

Importing metadata from Microsoft Excel or Access to Adobe Bridge CC metadata

I'm trying to figure out how to batch import a substantial amount of metadata in Microsoft Excel or Access to the IPTC core fields in Adobe Bridge CC. I've seen the issue discussed, but many of the posts about it are six or seven years old. So here are the simplest statement of the questions:
1. Is it possible to export data from Excel or Access to XMP and then batch-import it in Adobe Bridge CC?
2. If it requires templates, are there commercial, shareware, or freeware templates that will achieve this?
3. If so, what are the links to those repositories?
4. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve this on PC and/or Mac?
5. What are the links to those instructions?
Thanks in advance for your help. I've used Bridge from CS1... but I've never used it for batch-importing to IPTC.

Well,
it works for me without problems.
Some information on my setup and what I did:
- my primary browser language is English (en-us)
1) Save the data in a file called hardware.txt:
SERIAL,HOSTNAME,ITEM_TYPE,BRAND,MODEL,OWNER,STATUS
AEP016136,d2vmrw61,Laptop,Dell,m71,Gary Cleary,Active
AEP016169,dhj3b71,Desktop,Dell,Dimension 4700,Unassigned,Active
AEP016170,cn-0g8432-64180-52p-1yts,Monitor,Dell,E193FP,Unassigned,Active2) Load the data (Load text data) into an existing table by uploading a file:
- File: hardware.txt
- Separator: , (comma)
Worked fine.
3) Load the data (copy /paste spreadsheet data into an existing table):
- Open the file hardware.txt in Excel and import it into the spreadsheet
- copy all three lines and paste them into the textarea in XE (the difference is that the columns are no longer separated by commas but by tabs)
Worked fine as well.
Please try the above mentioned steps and see whether you still get the error.

Hi Try This.
Select all the columns from a the table like...
Select empno | | ',' | | ename | | ',' | | sal from emp;
Spool this into mydata.csv ( Note the Ext)

Error Connecting to Oracle from J2EE SDK1.4

I am getting the following error when trying to Ping Oracle from a J2EE 1.4 SDK:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Error getting connection from the EIS
I have the following connection information
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="OraclePool" pool-resize-quantity="2" steady-pool-size="8" transaction-isolation-level="read-uncommitted">

<property name="password" value="password"/>
<property name="user" value="test"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
Can anyone give me any pointers?

It looks okay to me. The only thing that jumped out at me is that normally Oracle is on 1521, not the current port you have. Otherwise, I'll drop back 15 and punt on this one.

Connect to Oracle from PHP

Hello
I have problems to connect to Oracle database from PHP. I use php_oracle.dll. (I can't use OCI8 because the version of our oracle is 8.0).
We have 2 oracle servers:
One of them connect ok. But I can't connect to the second server. The main difference is the user. In the second server is like 'ops$p123lmn'. In the first server is only text, e.g. 'dbaper'. Can be a problem the '$' in the username?
I connected through ODBC in PHP and ok both oracle servers.
I use ora_logon like:
$ora_conn = ora_logon("ops$p123mln@siap","pass");
when ops$p123mln is the user, siap is the SID and pass is the password.
I'm desperate because I don't find a solution.
Thanks in advance to all.
Jose Martin

If I had to guess, I would say that PHP is probably seeing the string "ops$p123mln@siap" and interpreting it as "ops${p123mln}@siap", which would resolve to "ops@siap", which is way wrong.
Try replacing the string with 'ops$p123mln@siap' (single-quotes around the string instead of double-quotes).
Hope that helps.

Creating pdf from Microsoft Excel

I need some help and I am hoping someone has run into this before. I have been able to create a pdf from a Microsoft Excel document with no problem but the issue I am having is when I do that all of the sheets are merged into one workbook and it creates an continuous 330 page document; I want to be able to have separate tabs or some type of separation like Microsoft Excel does. I could create each sheet into a pdf and then merge them all into pdf portfolio but that would be labor intensive.
Can someone help me?
Thanks, John

John,
Once content is in PDF there is no such thing as "workbook" or "worksheet". PDF is content painted to a "page".
As dictated by the quantity of content there may be many pages.
PDFMaker can be configured to prompt for which worksheets of a workbook, in Excel, that are to be processed out to PDF.
With multiple worksheets selected each worksheet's content is processed out, in sequence, to the PDF being created.
So, the first worksheet's content fills PDF page 1 through page N. The second worksheet's content fills PDF page N+1 through page M.
This continues for all selected worksheets.
The result is, as expected, a multi-page PDF.
If the PDFMaker has been configured to create PDF Bookmarks then a Bookmark is created for each worksheet.
The Bookmark's label will reflect the worksheet's "name" in its respective tab back in Excel.
The Bookmarks' default action will be:
Go to a page in this document (e.g., the PDF)
---| Page: "n" (the page on which the worksheet's content starts)
---| Zoom level: Inherit Zoom
Clicking on any given Bookmark takes the user to the start page of the Bookmark identified worksheet content.
. Some screen captures that may help.
PDFMaker's configuration dialog
If "Prompt for Selecting Excel Sheets" is ticked in the PDFMaker configuration dialog then this dialog appears when PDFMaker begins the PDF creation process.
The output PDF will have a Bookmark that permits navigating to the start of content for the designated worksheet content within the PDF.
To view the Bookmarks the Navigation Pane must display.
For any PDF, if one configures the PDF's Document Properties > Initial View tab both the PDF page and the PDF's Bookmarks pane can be set to show upon opening of the PDF.
For many PDF's Acrobat Pro can be used to establish this with the "Open" sequence via a Batch Sequence / Action.
Be well...

Database Connection to Oracle from Sun Studio

I am trying to connect to Oracle 9i from the Sun IDE.
When I test the driver from the databases in the runtime tab, it gives me the following message:
Internal test driver incomplete. The driver may not support DatabaseMetadata methods.
The output window shows this:
Warning: No tables were found. Check your database.
Warning: No views were found. Check your database.
Warning: No procedures were found. Check your database.
If I try to connect, it seems to connect successfully.
When I expand the jdbc folder it show 3 folders, one for tables, one for views and one for procedures, but they are empty.
I also set up the classpath to point to the drivers.
Anyone know the answer?
Jim

I was successful and here're some pointers:
When you configure the new data source for Oracle, configure the server type for Oracle Bundle and define the proper driver class name and add the proper jar file
Also:
Check the database URL
Userid/password
Typicaly the Driver Class can be: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
And the DB URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:1521:<SID>
(If connecting using thin drivers)
Good luck ;-)
