Anyone can help me?

Hi,
This is a known problem and there is a patch available for some versions and platforms -
Patch 12731763: DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_IMMEDIATE DOES NOT RETURN NUMBER OF ROWS AFFECTED
Have a search on My Oracle Support for your version and platform for that patch. If it isn't available then open a SR with Oracle Support to get it for your platform and version.

11g ODBC SQLGetTypeInfo result COLUMN_SIZE column being returned as 64bit v

Using InstantClient 11.2 ODBC I'm getting odd behavior for the SQLGetTypeInfo call on a 64bit Win2K3 machine.
When binding the result column 2 (COLUMN_SIZE) as an integer (as per the ODBC spec), it looks like this is being returned in a 64bit word (even though the buffer buffer size is specified as a SQLUINTEGER).
This is obviously causing some issues - is this a known bug?
My solution is to move this value's storage to the end of the struct I'm using to store all the columns of the result and add some additional padding but my concern is that there are other areas where the ODBC interface is not following the ODBC specification. Is there a list of known exceptions to the ODBC specification for the oracle instant client drivers for 64 bit architectures?

Thanks. That's doing the trick.
We can use PASSTHROUGH PACKAGE to change the SQL_MODE for a particular session using the MySQL statement: set session sql_mode='ANSI_QUOTES';
It will then look like:
- first setting in the session ANSI_SQL using PASSTHROUGH:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@mysql;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@mysql(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';'));
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@mysql(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@mysql(c);
END;
REMARK: The passthrough statement SET SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES''; uses 2 single quotes ... !!no DOUBLE QUOTES !!
Now selects works using double qoutes:
SQL> select * from "test"@mysql;
col1 col2
Hello 1
As soon as I disconnect and connect again and try to run the select without the PASSTHROUGH we get the old error again:
SQL> select * from "test"@mysql;
select * from "test"@mysql
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.37-community]You have an error in your SQL
syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near '"col1",A1."col2" FROM "test" A1' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MYSQL
So using PASSTHROUGH at the beginning of each session allows us to change the ANSI mode for a particular session only without affecting all the other clients and might be a good workaround.

Is it mean I can't use OUT params in HS_PASSTHROUGH with ODBC Gateway?

As you've linked the docu - check out
2.3 Known Restrictions
which states:
* Does not support stored procedures
Reason for this restriction is we have no control over the foreign ODBC drivers and the function it has implemented. As you've also already figured out it works for your MS SQL Server connection, but fails for the iSeries which is indicating an issue with the driver or its implementation.
And that's the reason why it is documented as a known restriction and if you want to call a foreign procedure you have to use the dedicated foreign database gateway (if it is available) - for example DG4MSQL for MS SQl Server and DG4DRDA for DB2 databases on IOS, LUW and z/OS.

Accessing mysql database from oracle using dg4odbc

I've been trying to create a database link from a MySQL database to Oracle using the Oracle dg4odbc gateway. I downloaded and installed DataDirect's ODBC package which includes mysql ODBC library (ddmysql24.so) and a generic ODBC libary (libodbc.so). After creating the DSN in odbc.ini, I tested it and it can connect to the mysql database. Then I created the init{SID}.ora file in hs/admin directory, added dg4odbc lines in the listener.ora, and added lines in tnsnames.ora. Then I tnspinged the new SID with success. Finally, I created the database link. However, when I tried to access the database link using the commands "select * from mdl_user@moodle;", I got the ORA-28500 error like the following:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][20101]You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"mdl_user"' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MOODLE
My mysql database is utf8 by default. Do I have to use latin1?
It seems to me that the dg4odbc translates the sql commands incorrectly (having double quotes around the selected table).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jeffrey

The syntax error occures for example when MySQL isn't running in ANSI mode and thus does not allow double quotes around the objects. DG4ODBC 11.1.0.6 by default always adds double quotes to table/column/view names.
A quick test to check if you hit the double quote issue would be to set the MySQL DB into ANSI mode:
- Open SQL*Plus
- execute:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@moodle;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@moodle(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@moodle(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@moodle(c);
END;
- Now run your select statement
=> if it now works, you can permanently change the MySQL config to be ANSI compliant or you can apply the 11.1.0.7 patchset to DG4ODBC.

How to load a SQL Server Image datatype into Oracle

   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLERRM);
END;This gives me 'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: host bind array too small'
I can change to another column on the SQL Server side and transfer fine, just not with Image datatypes.
Not sure why this is happening, does anyone have any advice? Sorry, can't seem to post with my formatting intact.
Edited by: user7726970 on Jun 8, 2009 4:53 PM
Update, removing the 'DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_result);' takes care of that error but no data is transferred. Confused.

How to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle

Hi all,
Please anybody tell me how to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle.
I've made an hsodbc connection and i can do insert, update, fetch data in sql server from oracle. But calling SP gives error. when I tried an SP at oracle that has line like
"dbo"."CreateReceipt"@hsa
where CreateReceipt is the SP of sql server and hsa is the DSN, it gives the error that "dbo"."CreateReceipt" should be declared.
my database version is 10g
Please help me how can i call it... I need to pass some parameters too to the SP

Poor Performance using Generic Conectivity for ODBC

Hi my friends.
I have a problem usign Generic Conectivity , I need update 500,000 records in MS SQL Server 2005, I'm using Generic Conectivity for ODBC. In my Oracle Database i have create a DB_LINK called TEST to redirect to MS SQL Server database.
Oracle Database: 10.2.0.4
MS SQL Server version: 2005
The time for update 1,000 records in MS SQL Server using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH is ten minutes. This is a poor performance.
This is de PL/SQL
DECLARE
c INTEGER;
nr INTEGER;
CURSOR c_TEST
IS
SELECT "x", "y"
FROM TEST_cab
WHERE ROWNUM <= 1000
ORDER BY "y";
BEGIN
FOR cur IN c_TEST
LOOP
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@TEST;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@TEST(
c,
'UPDATE sf_TEST_sql
SET observation= ?
WHERE department_id = ?
AND employee_id = ? ');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 1, 'S');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 2, 'N');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 3, 'ELABORADO');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 4, 'PENDIENTE');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 5, cur."x");
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@TEST (c, 6, cur."y");
nr := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@TEST (c);
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@TEST (c);
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END;
You can help, how better the performance for update 500,000 record by record in MS SQL Server. I need advantages of use Oracle Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server.
your's can suggest my another solution ?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are no real parameters to tune the gateways. You should turn on gateway debug tracing and check the SQL that is being sent to SQL*Server to make sure is update statements and nothing else.
If this is the case then the time taken will be down to various factors, such as network delays, processing on SQL*Server and so on.
How long does it take to update the same number of records directly on SQL*Server without the Oracle or the gateway involved or if you use another non-Oracle client to do the same updates across a network, if a network is involved ?
It may be possible to improve performance by changing the HS_RPC_FETCH_REBLOCKING parameter, so have a look at this note in My Oracle Support -
Tuning Generic Connectivity And Gateways (Doc ID 230543.1)

Mike

Pipelined functions from mssql using DG4MSQL

Hi to All
I have made installation of DG4MSQL 11.1 to connect Oracle db 10.2.0.4 to MSSQL server and found this problem.
On my MSSQL side there are piplined database objects , functions that behave like tables and which from mssql side is queried by forexample select * from table(parameter);
I tried to query objects on oracle db side using the same syntax like this:
select * from "table(parameter)"@sqlserverlink;
and this
select * from "table"@sqlserverlink (parameter);
and it gave error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Also tried standard oracle syntax for selecting from pipleined function like this :
select * from TABLE("table"@sqlserverlink(NULL));
or
select * from TABLE("table"(NULL)@sqlserverlink);
and it gives error
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
.Can enynone give me some answer for this. Are piplined functions supported through DG4MSQL when connecting from oracle to mssql.
Greetings
Kenan

What is exactly the syntax of your object name.
Table, table and TABLE are 3 differents objects!!!!!
select object_name,object_type from all_objects@sqlserver where upper(object_name)='table';
====>normal , you have no row because your object name is not 'TABLE'
You have to respect the case sensivity
Try rather:
select object_name,object_type from all_objects@sqlserver where object_name LIKE '%able%';
So in your SQL SERVER (which version?) what do you see exactly???
In which object category do you see it?Is it a user defined function?
When you use a function, it is used to retrieve a value.
example: select "table"@sqlserver (NULL) from dual;
==>you get one rowwith one value
If your object is a table supposed to retrieve resultset (many rows) you can't pass it with a parameter:
select * from Table@sqlserver (NULL);
==>it won't work
So my question is also what are you supposed to retrieve when you select in SQL SERVER:
select * from table(null)
==>many rows or one row???
You can test with the DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH package:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@sqlserver;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@sqlserver(c, 'select * from table(null)');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@sqlserver(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@sqlserver(c);
END;
If it is succesfull, you're supposed to get:
===>1 passthrough output
Please give me all the information and I could help you more.

Lock sql server table through DG4ODBC?

Hi
I'm using DG4ODBC to connect to SQL server 2008, querying data and insert to Oracle. Is it possible to lock the remote table in sql server, prohibit it from inserting any new record?
My Oracle version is 11.1.0.7.0, OS version : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3.
Thanks
Edited by: user1152556 on 21:20 06-05-2013

by default the gateway starts its own transaction on the SQL Server side and as soon as you even execute a select it locks the data until you execute a commit (even when only selecting data). Unfortunately the amount of data being locked now depends on the SQL Server version and on the lock mode chosen by the SQl Server (row/page/table).
Another option would be to explicit set a transaction isolation level for your gateway session using the passthrough command:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@MSODBCSQLSERVER_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1123_DB;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@MSODBCSQLSERVER_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1123_DB(c, 'SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@MSODBCSQLSERVER_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1123_DB(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@MSODBCSQLSERVER_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1123_DB(c);
END;
Please check out your SQL Server documentation which isolation level will fit for your needs.

11g gateway for ODBC returns SYNTAX ERROR on query

Hi,
I have made a database link to an odbc link on a 11g gateway. The odbc driver for the database in question is called connx, a third party driver to connect to RMS files on an old vax. The odbc driver works fine as I tested it independently of the gateway.
The database link connection is fine. I do desc tablename and it returns the correct columns
I do for example select * from SICF090MLT@melt and it returns :
meltdb>select * from SICF090MLT@melt;
select * from SICF090MLT@melt
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
Illegal identifier
A1."CHARGE_NO" , A1."MIX_ID" , A1."BUCKET_ID" , A1."AIM_ST" , A1."SCRAP_MIX_NAME" FROM << Syntax Error >> 'SICF090MLT' A1
ORA-02063: preceding 3 lines from MELT
As you can see all of the columns have been discovered by the query,
I am not sure what can be the issue. Maybe a character translation issue? Some configuration settings for the gateway? Any ideas?
On a side note: all other database links to other databases (sqlserver) work fine with this 11g gateway.
The Best to all of you!

Mireille,
I am using a win32 driver.
HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS is false for all my database links. I have had issues with that in the past and have already learned my lesson :)
I will check the quoted identifier setting for my odbc link and change it if I can.
As a side note: for now I am using the DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH package to get around the problem, but it is better if I solve my original problem obviously. I will let you know.
Merci et bonne journée.

Can I return my laptop

I bought my laptop around the beginning of March 2011. I am very dissatisfied with it and was wondering if I could bring it in for a refund.The computer is a Dell Inspiron.

I'm sorry, but you only have 14 days to return a laptop. You could send it in for repair if there is an issue with the device.

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Query help: query to return column that represents multiple rows

I have a table with a name and location column. The same name can occur multiple times with any arbitrary location, i.e. duplicates are allowed.

Unable to capture return values in web services api

At the time of login to web services if my server is down ,
it returns following error :
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
I want to capture this error so that i can try another server to login. how do i capture this error
Another place where i want to capture the return Value is when i look for a report on the server
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
                           "@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server , it returns a null handler exception.
but if i try catching it by checking my responsehandler is null like rh == null it does not catch it.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks

Ted : i have two cases
1)   server = server_st.nextToken();
    providerURL = "http://"server"/dswsbobje/services";
    sessConnURL = new URL(providerURL + "/session");
   Connection boConnection = new Connection(sessConnURL);
   Session boSession = new Session(boConnection);
EnterpriseCredential boEnterpriseCredential = new    EnterpriseCredential();
              boEnterpriseCredential.setLogin(userid);
boEnterpriseCredential.setPassword(pwd);
boEnterpriseCredential.setAuthType(auth);
SessionInfo boSI = boSession.login(boEnterpriseCredential);
I have got a list of servers running web servcies stored in my tokens. when i pass the first server name say " test:8080" and that server is down , i want to catch somewhere in the code above that it did not get the connection so that i can loop back and try with the second server say test1:8080
This is for failover purposes.
at present when i was trying to capture return value of boSI it breaks giving the error
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
2nd case :
I am geeting reports from the server and scheduling them:
i run the following code which works fine if reports is there
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
"@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server then i should be able to catch from the response handle rh that it has got a null value.
but rh does not return a null value
the code ultimately throws a null handle at the following line
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
i am not able to catch the null value there also.
hope you got my issue.

Generate prov.xml for Creative Cloud. Return Code 27

We're trying to follow this guide (Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition) to serialize a package (or something). We're stuck on generating prov.xml. My best attempt at an entry is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\APTEE>adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=en_US --provfilepath=C:\Program Fil
es (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP
It says half of this is optional, but I'm skeptical.
Anyway, I'm getting return code 27. This indicates that it is unable to edit the prov.xml file specified. I didn't specify a prov.xml file, I'm trying to make one. The syntax I'm using differs from what I found on the page I linked, as that was giving me syntax errors. I lifted this off someone else's code. I've tried just about every variation I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.
