Date datatype conversion through ODBC

Using Form5 when datatype date is entered or modified, the save
command gives error FRM-40508 unable to insert record or unable
to update record. When checked under help to display error, the
message in OCA-30010 error in data conversion by ODBC. The
record in the database entered through command line having date
field show alright in the form but if it is modified then the
error start coming. The default date format (DD-MON-YYYY) is
uded.
Can you please let me know the reason of this error and how date
datatype can be entered in the record using Forms with ODBC
connectivity.

If you need to pass the string parameter value to a command object as a date then you will need to use a subreport that is based on the commadn object. The main report will have the string date parameter and in a formula in the main report convert the string to a date. Link the subreport on this formula to the commadn object parameter

Extract data on forms9i through ODBC/systemDSN

Im trying to extract data through system DSN using ODBC utility on
forms 9i , i'll be grateful if anyone help me that how can i connect to ODBC/system DSN on forms9i and inform me in this regard.
Asim

Well yeah,
That's what I have done actually (I just forgot to update this thread).
I was actually able to create views over informix tables with serial data type, using a cast to integer, and then, I was able to extract data from those informix tables.
Indeed, the DI documentation states that the serial datatype in informix is not supported in DI...
I just wonder how I could solve that if I hadn't the right to create views in the production database....
Any thoughts ?

Does ODBC encrypts data while passing through the network?

Does ODBC encrypts data while passing through the network?

ODBC uses the underlying Oracle networking components to transmit data. By default, these components do not encrypt data, although they can be made to do so-- see the "SSL Encryption" thread from a few days ago.

Data type Replication and ODBC

I want to convert table that has column with LONG datatype to
supported datatype by replication. Currently the LONG column
contains more than 4,000 bytes so I can't convert to Varchar(2).
If I convert to CLOB then the application that we are using is
connecting through ODBC drivers and CLOB is not supported by
ODBC.
Is any one run into this situation? What is recommended or
practical solutions for this problem?
Thanks.
--Pravin

Thx,
I used data type java.sql.Timezone and it works fine ;) This data type parse Date to format yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss, so basically does not matter if I use string or this type :) but this is better ;)
Problem is in timezone ! :( In data type java.sql.Timezone is not possible set timezone! :(

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

Database Variant to Data.vi not working for the Date datatype with LV 8.2?

I'm moving a large body of LV database code from LV 7.1 to 8.2 and find that the Database Variant to Data.vi is not working correctly when used with the Date datatype. It works fine with 8.0, and the common Variant to Data works also. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Wes

Thanks for the prompt reply Crystal,
The data is stored in an Oracle database using the DATE type. I'm querying many rows along with other columns and converting each of the values as necessary for each column with the 'Database Variant to Data' vi. Only conversion to Timestamp is no longer working as of version 8.2. I recognize that plain Variant to Data works but I have many (100's) of VIs to change if that is the only solution (not the end of the world). Most often the dates are originally generated in the database using PL/SQL procedures calling SYSDATE which look like: 5/1/2006 11:56:26 AM (in TOAD anyway) which I then need to read into LV as type Timestamp.
Regards, Wes.

Connect PostgreSQL to Oracle 10g through ODBC: can't read all_tables

Oracle 10g is not able to read the database table names (all_tables and all_objects, es. select * from all_tables@hspostgresodbc) from PostgreSQL using ODBC (v. 08.01.0200). This functionality is essential to be able to use Oracle Warehouse Builder and import external database definitions (heterogeneous services).
However, Oracle (SQL*Plus) is able to retrieve records when the table name is stated in the SQL query (es. select * from my_table).
The problem seems to be specifically with the PostgreSQL ODBC because Oracle is able to read schemes from other databases through ODBC. Ive done some tests with Access dbs just to be sure that the problem is not with my system (Windows XP SP2).
The problem appears both with ANSI and UNICODE PostgreSQL drivers.
Any suggestion of how workaround this problem?
thanks in advance,
Raoni

Dear all,
Ive tried different tracing levels with out success. The log file does not seem to be created by Oracle.
Looking closer to the debug and comm logs from the driver 8.01.0200, Ive found out that the problem was generated after a table wasnt found (the driver seems to search for the all_tables table, and just afterwards to query the scheme pg_catalog). In this case the all the following queries returned with the error ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block. Maybe this problem is related with the bug [#1000641] http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000641&group_id=1000125&atid=538
Following the Postgres odbc developers suggestion, Ive installed the psqlODBC v 08.02.0002 and Ive got a completely different result.
As before, the simple query select * from my_table@hsodbc returns the result using SQL*Plus clearly faster than before.
Doing the query select * from all_tables@hsodbc the result is OK (the name of 56 tables) but the process is very slow and burdensome. The file paging memory in the machine running Oracle and the SQL*Plus jumps from the normal 700 MB to 1.7 GB, and the query takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Also the 1.7 GB remains allocated and the query process halted in PostGreSQL even after the on screen result of the query. The memory is freed and the process terminated after the logging out SQL*Plus.
Probably as result of this memory explosion, the system runs out of memory and Oracle Warehouse Builder selecting data base link -> schema, after some minutes get an error similar to: cant read from memory address XXXXX
All those test where done with PostGreSQL 8.0.1 (on Linux Suse 9.0) and Oracle 10g (Windows XP SP2).
To be sure that the problem was not related to the PostGreSQL version, we updated the server to the 8.1.3 (running in Linux Suse 9.0 with psqlODBC v 08.02.0002 ) and OWB couldnt see any table as before and doing Select * from all_tables@hsodbc weve got the message:
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from HSPG
no rows selected
On the other hand, with the same configuration as before (Oracle 10g under Windows XP SP1, psqlODBC v 08.02.0002) but with PostGreSQL 8.1.3 under Windows XP SP1, OWB can read table names (same tables imported from Linux PostgreSQL) but not all_tables (a minor problem, because what is important for us is to make OWB work with PostgreSQL).
The encoding for all DBs is UTF8.
Any ideas of where could be the problem?

R.

Can't view a report connecting through ODBC(RDO) to DB with InfoView (CMC)

Environment :
Crystal Reports machine :
OS :
Windows Server 2008 64-bit
Crystal Reports Developer 2008 SP0
Crystal Reports Server 2008
DB Server:
Windows Server 2003 32-bit
SQL Server 2000 SP3
What is going on:
All the reports connecting through ODBC (RDO) to the database server work fine in the developer interface (I can preview them) but cannot be accessed if I try to view them in InfoView / CMC ("Please wait while the document is being processed" message box doesn't go away...).
I have tried both the SQL Server driver 6.00.6001.1800 and SQL Server Native Client 10.0 2007.100.1600.22 with the same results.
PS All the reports using OLE DB work just fine, I would prefer to have the ODBC option working through the web interface because I have a few hundreds report to change otherwise ...
Virgil Rucsandescu

Our solution is a php web application, but this is not relevant (in my opinion), and here it is why:
The php code should show the reports by using the direct links given by InfoView
(like http://dev-web:8080/CrystalReports/viewrpt.cwr?id=801&apsuser=user&apspassword=password).
Actually in this moment these links are looking different because currently we're using C.R. 10 + C.R. Server 10, but we are planning to move to CR 2008 + CR Server 2008.
So now I am testing how these direct links do work, they're actually working perfectly till now, but only if I connect through OLEDB to the DB server (SQL Server 2000). Any attempt to do it through the 2 ODBC drivers failed until now.
And I don't want to think about changing the data source hundreds of reports (lot of them having subreports too) ...

SQL Developer: Right-click format doesn't work right with DATE datatype

Hi All!
Currently I'm using version SQL Developer Version 3.1.05.
Got a question regarding the 'auto-format' of syntax whenever writing in the code editor.
If you take this snippet of code and drop it into a worksheet, then highlight it, right click the mouse, then select "format" it's like it fails to add the proper spacing when it runs into the DATE datatype. I looked all through the : preferences > database > sql formatter > oracle formatting > edit and couldn't find anything regarding the formatting with date types.
Am I looking in the wrong area?? Is this a known bug? Having trouble searching for this exact issue too. I LOVE the format feature, but I hate having to go to each date type and manually spacing it out to make everything look 'clean'. I'm picky I guess :P I can live with it but figured I'd ask.

Hello,
I put 3.1.07 as you'd suggested. Seems the problem is still occuring for me... probably a user preference though ;)
Open a new worksheet and drop this in, highlight everything, right-click and choose "format". All the keywords (varchar2, number, etc) should align on themselves making it look nice. I have mine set up to line-break after a comma. (I can't get it to format properly as I type it here onto the forums, so added a bunch of spaces to try to mimic it in this view)

BAD_COMMENTS VARCHAR2(1000) );
Now, let's add another field in there, but this time a date/timestamp datatype. If you format it like this you will see that the keywords sort of 'reset' their position after it encounters a date/timestamp datatype. The date type doesn't align properly with the others.

Crystal Crashes when Creating a Connection to MySQL 5.0 through ODBC

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am using a MS Server to run BO Server. I open Crystal Reports, create a new connection to my MySQL Database through ODBC (that is set up as a System DSN). After i put in the log in credentials the dang thing crashes... Anyone?

Now the problem has gone from bad to worse.
I previously had a connection to my database but just couldn't see the tables.
Now after I added another user I can't even make a connection. Instead I get an error message that says "An unidentified error has occured"
My server and database are actually running. I can loginto my database through the MySQL workbench. It says it's running. The apache server also says it's running and if I key in localhost in my internet explorer it says "It works!"
I have now deleted the new user in MySQL that I added and now I can't even connect to the database in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Blain

I have a repository build with Business model mapping having a couple of logical columns based on cumulative functions. The columns are defined as posted in Re: Support to oracle cumulative functions I successfully created those columns in Business model mapping and Presentation layers. Then I checked in my changes to reflect in OBIEE dashboard / answers. I included those columns in my dashboard along with some other required columns.

How to execute STP with Named type table as parameter through ODBC calls.

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 10g release 2. I am having a Stored function which takes Named Type Table as its parameter.
For example
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tblName is table of someUDT.
CREATE OR REPLACE function nestfunction(t tblName)
return NUMBER
as
//function body here.
end;
Now, I want to call this Stored function nestfunction through ODBC calls. Also want to add multiple rows in tblName parameter.
But am unable to perform the above mentioned task. If you have answers please, reply.
Thanks and regards

Hi Arik,
Thanks for the reply. I got the solution by configuring a NonXA data source. The problem was with internal commits of the fnd_global.initialize api.
If the DB adapter is calling aPL/SQL procedure (written inside a pakcage) using the data source configured to support XA, will expect not to have any commits in side the procedure or anywhere, the XA driver will take of the commits and whole transactions. By default the FND_GLOBAL.INITIALIZE(...) procedure will have the internal commits, so it was throwing the errors.
The solution was configuring the a NonXA Data source in the databae adapter configuration will allow the commits inside the callings procedures. So we created Two data sources one for XA and another for NonXA and we are using the NonXA datasource whereever we are calling the EBS APIs which have the internal commits.

Accessing Oracle spatial objects (SDO_GEOMETRY) through ODBC/OLEDB

Hello.
I tried googling and reading through these forums and Oracle documentation, but I'm still uncertain on this question:
Are Oracle spatial objects (of type SDO_GEOMETRY) accessible through ODBC and/or OLE DB drivers? Can I retrieve them with SELECT clause? Can I write them to database?
I'm limited to these options because I'm developing Delphi application based on ADO and it must work with different DB servers. However I certainly don't want to implement different ways of accessing database for each server.
If geometry objects aren't suported by ODBC/OLEDB, is there any way to convert SDO_GEOMETRY to (and from) BLOB or string or whatever, so I can read and write them like a normal data field?
Thanks in advance.

The SDO_UTIL package has lots of options to help output spatial data to other formats, and you may be able to use some of them to help.
Some that come to mind are:
SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY
SDO_UTIL.TO_GMLGEOMETRY
SDO_UTIL.TO_KMLGEOMETRY
This is covered in chapter 32 of the Oracle® Spatial Developer's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2).
