Easiest Way to Access Oracle DB from Linux

I haven't had much luck installing Oracle 8i for Linux on Red Hat 7.0. All I really want to do is access an Oracle database residing on a different (NT) server. What is the easiest way to do this? I thought that by installing 8i, I would automatically get an Oracle client.
I tried installing root, unixODBC, RDBS, and the Oracle client but after doing so, when I try to run ODBCConfig (or DataManager) I get:
[root@rbilonick database]# ODBCConfig
ODBCConfig: Symbol `__vt_4QTab' has different size in shared object,
consider re-linking
Segmentation fault
[root@rbilonick database]# DataManager
DataManager: Symbol `__vt_4QTab' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
Segmentation fault
I've tried recompiling the srpm but then I get:
rpm --recompile unixODBC-1.8.8-1.src.rpm
gcc -DUNIXODBC -DPACKAGE=\"unixODBC\" -DVERSION=\"1.8.8\" -DYYTEXT_POINTER=1 -DHAVE_LIBCRYPT=1 -DHAVE_LIBM=1 -DHAVE_STRCASECMP=1 -DHAVE_STRNCASECMP=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -D_REENTRANT=1 -DHAVE_LIBPTHREAD=1 -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 -DHAVE_LIBPNG=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_MALLOC_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_PWD_H=1 -DHAVE_CRYPT_H=1

Any ideas on how I can access an Oracle database?
Thanks.

Yeah,
so the main issue with this method is that ukMap() is displayed on "stage" at 0x0 which means it runs over the top of the view navigator bar at the top.
I suppose i could figure out the hight of this and position its y value according .
It would be just nice to add like a "vgroup" component and use addChild within this some how????
Thanks

    I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble.  However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

    Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
    Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

  • How to access Oracle Apps from Linux or Unix Client

    Hi,
    That is not a problem just you can get in to linux inet browser and put the hostname.domainname.com:portnumber/OA_HTML/US/ICSINDEX.HTM
    So that you can get the apps sign on screen will be launched up and available to access in to Oracle applications.
    The work could be done in solaris browser and linux browser is possible.

    yes, you sure can.usb wifi adapters are availabe for your Mac Pro. try afterthemac.com. I don't work for them, just the first page that popped up. Dlink
    makes something, but you may have heard a few stories about how DLink might be
    'iffy' (someone else's words, not mine). Oh, and apparently, you can make an antenna signal  booster out of an aluminum can.....

  • What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

    Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
    After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
    What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Richard

    Mr. Clark,
    You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
    Does your Print dialog look like this:
    Or like this:
    If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

  • Uninstall oracle 10g from Linux Red hat

    is any body know the standard procedure to uninstall oracle 10g from linux red hat.

    The correct answer is "Undo the changes you made during the install"
    By this I mean:
    Stop all of the processes
    Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory (usually the one one level up from ORACLE_HOME)
    Delete the oraInventory directory if it isn't inside ORACLE_BASE
    Delete /etc/oratab, /etc/oraInst.loc
    Delete /user/local/bin/coraenv, /user/local/bin/oraenv, /user/local/bin/dbhome
    Undo any environment settings you may have modified (in .bash_profile and bashrc)
    That should be just about it. That's how I usually clean out my system between installs.

  • What is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipad?

    what is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipadair 2?  I have been told that transferring via itunes creates one mass file from which individual photos cannot be manipulated.

    Photos synced from iTunes cannot be deleted one at a time if that's what you mean. They can be manipulated, if manipulated means editing or moving them into folders that you create on the iPad in the photos app.
    I agree with Procyon256 that emailing is probably the easiest way for one at a time, but there are also WiFi transfer apps that are pretty nice for this purpose, I use this one.

  • Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?

    Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?
    I am waiting on my new phone to arrive but in the mean time can I access my contacts from a non apple device? Please help!

    If you synced them to iCloud, you can view them on icloud.com from your computer.  They can also be accessed from an Android device using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts.  Or, you can download them from iCloud as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), then import them to another service such as Google in order to sync them with a non-Apple device.

  • What is the easiest way to open an application from Labview?

    I need to open an application from labview and depending on a user's selection, load one out of a group of files for the application that is opened. I need to know what is the best or easiest way to open an application and load a file that is used by the application based on a selection.

    Here is the response that I got from Cognex when I asked them about how to do this. Do you understand what they are talking about?
    In order to do something like this you will probably want to look into the Display Control/SDK for In-Sight. The Display Control gets installed along with In-Sight Explorer and includes a control that can be used in an environment like Labview to communicate with In-Sight sensors while the SDK is an enhanced version of the Display Control that gives you more control and functionality. I am not very familiar with the Labview environment so I will give some code snippets in VB.Net and hopefully you can adjust them as necessary. Specifically I see 3 possible avenues to do this:
     1) Using the Display Control you have access to many of the dialog boxes that are used in In-Sight Explorer including the Load Job dialog box. You can spawn this dialog box through a line of code similar to cvsInSightDisplay1.Edit.OpenJob.Execute(). I am not certain if the Labview environment will be able to spawn and display this dialog though. 2) With the addition of the SDK (additional purchase) you can directly access sensor properties including the job. There is a method called LoadJobFile to load jobs from on the sensor and LoadJobFileLocally to load jobs from the host machine. A typical line of code might be cvsInSightDisplay1.InSight.File.LoadJobFile("myjob1.job").3) If Labview cannot handle the dialogs and the SDK is not an option for you then you may still be able to do this using Native Mode commands. Native Mode commands are sent through a socket on the telnet port (typically port 23). Keep in mind that you will need to handle the username/password prompt and response when you first open the socket before issuing any Native Mode commands. The command to load a job file from the sensor would be the Load File command which would be a string similar to "LF myjob1.job". The Native Mode commands are documented in the In-Sight Explorer help file. 

  • Access Oracle 9i from a Client Application without Oracle Client Install.

    Is it possible to access an Oracle Database from a Client Application without having an oracle Client Installation ?
    I want to write a program that connect to an Oracle Server. I use Borland C++. But my Programs only works with having the Client Oracle Software installed on the Client. Is there any way to realise this ?

    The way that 99% of the people that want to do this manage is to write Java code that connects to the database via JDBC, using Oracle's thin JDBC driver.
    If you absolutely have to use C++, you can purchase thin ODBC drivers from third parties (DataDirect for example) that will connect to the database without the Oracle client. I'm not aware of any thin, free ODBC drivers.

  • Regarding Native SQL to access Oracle Data from SAP

    Dear Gurus,
    This query is regarding Native SQL.
    Our database is Oracle and the client's database is also Oracle.
    To access the data directly from the client's database(Oracle), can I use Native SQL commands?
    Is there any disadvantage to use Native SQL?
    If Native SQL can be used, can any one send me the code to access the data from Oracle?
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Neeraj K.

    The problem is always data integrity. Doing things this way you are bypassing any business logic. So for example if you are connecting to a SAP Oracle database. SAP will not support your SAP system as you are doing direct updates to the database. I would suppose that this would be the same for any other product using the Oracle database. If you are only reading data from the database then it should be fine. I would however always using API's to access/update data.

  • Easiest way to produce NTSC DVD from PAL encore project?

    I have a PAL Encore project with 25fps assets and subtitles. What's the easiest way to make an NTSC DVD from this project? Encore won't let me edit the quality settings to change from NTSC to PAL. These settings are greyed out. I take it they are dictated by the assets. Can anyone suggest how to make an NTSC project easily from this Encore project? I don't want to go back to the original footage. I want to just convert it from these Mpeg-2 files in the Encore project.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    What Richard said. I'll add three things.
    Encore won't let me edit the quality settings to change from NTSC to PAL. These settings are greyed out. I take it they are dictated by the assets.
    They are dictated by your selections when you created the project. And NTSC vs PAL are not settings that can be changed in the project settings once created.
    Regarding reusing menus. The files accessed by the Encore library for DVD projects are different for NTSC vs PAL. They have NTSC or PAL in the filename, but you don't see this from inside Encore. (They do not vary for Bluray menus.) You can take your NTSC project menus, "save as file," and then "import as menu" into a new PAL project. They will be the "wrong" pixel size and aspect ratio, but Encore may correct the par. I have never tried this. But if you get oddities doing it this way, in the new PAL project, add a PAL menu, edit in photoshop, and copy the button groups and such from the NTSC version of the menu to the PAL menu. That might work.
    What I see in most of these "convert PAL from NTSC" threads is that virtually all NTSC disks play on current PAL equipment. Many users asking your question decide not to convert. that is especially true, because Richard's "export as NTSC" is not as simple as it seems.

  • Is there a way to access purchased apps from the app store on windows computer? For USB boot drive

    Having a problem with my Macbook (13", Late 2009 I believe) after attemption to update iOS to OS Mavericks. Have run into the grey screen of death, and have almost exhausted all options, including reseting pram, accessing fsck, and even using disk utility to reinstall the iOS. I believe that during the initial update (which is the root of the problem), there was some corruption within the directories which I believe can be contributing to my problem.
    I was hoping to find a way to access my purchased apps from the app store on a windows computer so that I can make a USB boot drive in order to rule out the hardware problem that I am currently speculating.
    Please advise, thanks in advance!

    Yes if you have the iPod and iTunes set up to sync via wifi. However, you have to do it from your one syncing computer and the iPod and computer have to be on the same network.
