Error ORA-03121: not driver connected

Installed Oracle client 7.3.4 trying to connect to an Oracle 7.3.4 DB. I am getting error ORA-03121: not driver connected -
function not perfomed when I try and connect our client application. When I use SQL*Plus 3.3, I have no problems connecting, but when I try and connect through my client application, I get the error.
Any ideas?
Thanks
null

SQL*Plus 3.3 is for Oracle 7 while SQL*Plus 8.0 is for Oracle 8. So, 3.3 will load the Oracle 7 DLLs while 8.0 will load the 8i DLLs. Do you have Net8 installed and configured on the client?

Oracle Error ORA-03121

I installed Personal Oracle 8i, and Oracle Forms.
When I try to connect to a SQL*Server database using a DSN, I get the following:
ORA-03121 no interface driver connected - function not performed.
Do I need OCA installed?
Can I download this from somewhere (doesn't seem to be avialble from oracle.com)?

You most certainly can connect to a personel oracle database
using sqlnet. If fact you can connect to an oracle database
running on a win95 platform from another pc running on a
network. All you need to do is insure that the database listener
is running on the platform where the personel oracle is
installed.

SQLPlus COPY error: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

This is what I'm trying to do:
I'm logged into an Oracle 8.1.6 database on a Windows 2000 Professional box and trying to copy data and tables from an Oracle 7.3.4 database on an HP/UX box.
I log into my 8.1.6 SQLPlus as:
scott/tiger@testdb
Then I run the following:
SQL> set copycommit 1
SQL> set arraysize 1000
SQL> copy from user/user1@devp1 -
create reps_t -
using -
select * from reps_tThis is my error:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
Can someone give me a better understand how SQLPlus COPY works and give me an idea how to locate the problems.
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

I think this combination user/user1@devp1
is not ok.
U can get good material about copy command
from technet itself. Just search for Copy

I assume that your database is V8. If so, developer V1&V2) and
designer (V1&V2) will only connect through V2 of sqlnet. You
need to have an entry in your tnsnames.ora file and have the
listener running. If you do not want to enter the alias portion
of the connect string then enter the registry variable LOCAL. Set
the LOCAL variable to the alias of your database entry in the
tnsnames.ora file.

[PL/SQL Error] ORA-01843: not a valid month, not sure how to troubleshoot

Trying to use PL/SQL to automatically create a report that show the following:

The error occurs on this part of the PL/SQL

Also, I'm not doing anything with months, so I am suprised that it is throwing this type of error.
thanks

I tested a snippet of code in my production environment, just to see if I would get any results:
--registered users weekly starts
select count(*), trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7), trunc(sysdate-1)
     --into v_weekly_count_total_ru, v_weekly_start_date, v_weekly_end_date

               and trunc(participation_date)

1     09/10/2006 00:00:00     09/11/2006 00:00:00I did a double check in my test DB to make sure there is data there:

Hello All,
We need help in understanding the Transaction Monitor -> Processing Message (error "ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACTIONS.GET_CONVERTED_DATE").
And how to enable the log for Transaction Monitor -> Processing Logfile.
Actually we are trying to import the Purchase Order XML (OAG) into eBusiness Suite via BPEL Process Manager using the Oracle Applications Adapter. The process is working fine with expected payload until it reaches the XML Gateway Transaction Monitor, where we are getting this error.

what data did not get COMMITted?

GROUP BY with parameter - cause error -ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression

I generate a query via PreparedStatement. For example:
SELECT when, value FROM test GROUP BY ?;
PrepState.toString(1, "when");
That causing error: ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
My application using query like:
SELECT to_char(data,1), SUM(vlue) as sum FROM test GROUP BY to_char(data, 2);
PrepState.toString(1, "YYYY-MM");
PrepState.toString(2, "YYYY-MM");

Ah. Reproduced in the first chunk of PL/SQL below.
The second chunk is a workaround.
Basically, SQL is parsed by the syntax engine and optimizer to get an execution plan. Then you can have a sequence of "bind, execute, fetch, fetch, fetch..., bind, execute..."
Since you can have multiple binds for a single SQL parse, then the fact that the first set of binds all happen to have the same value doesn't mean the next set will.
The optimizer needs to be 100% sure that the value in the select must always be the same as the value in the group by, so you can't have two separate (and therefore potentially different) bind variable mappings. [Given the right circumstances, the optimizer might do all sorts of tricks, such as using materialized views and function-based indexes.]
Misleadingly, it actually fails on the 'EXECUTE' step of DBMS_SQL rather than the PARSE.

Getting Error ORA-01012: not logged on while connecting as sys

We have just upgraded from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 9.2.0.5. Currently we have 2 databases in oracle 9i - db2 and scen. scen has been newly upgraded to Oracle 9i.
When I set the ORACLE_SID to scen (as per entry in oratab), and connect to sqlplus using sys / as sysdba, it connects to an idle instance. and displays the error message ORA-01012: not logged on. I do not encounter this when I connect to the other database db2. There should be some settings which have been missed out.
Could anybody help me out with this....

I managed to get the settings corrected.Thanks anyway....

I got the error ORA-12154 trying to connect my app but not with the SQLplus

Hello! i need your help,
I have a client (Win XP SP2) and i'm trying to connect to the database in the server (Windows 2003, Oracle 10G) using the SQL plus, this is ok, but i try to do it throught the application developed in Developer 6i and i cannot, i got the error: ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve service name. I tried to solve it by setting the env. var TNS_ADMIN and i still have the same error.
Could anyone help me?, please

Hi,
Check for following file TNSNAMES.ORA at location;
C:\<Forms-directory>\NET80\ADMIN
See, if your service name is added to your file. If not then add a new entry like;
gsm.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = 10.0.1.22)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = gsm))
Where:
gsm.world = your service through which you connect to databse.
Host = ip address of machine where oracle server is running.
sid = name of your database
If you already have entry of service in TNSNAMES.ora file then paste you service here as is did , so that we can check because the error you are facing is only due to service problem. Please update........

Error ORA-12154 trying to connect with instant client 11g / LDAP on Ubuntu

Hello,
I have successfully installed instant client 11.2.0.2 and sqlplus on my Ubuntu 11.04 workstation. I am able to successfully connect to DB's defined in tnsnames.ora, but when the resolution is (or should be) by LDAP, I get error
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Note: while it's fine for testing, it's not a viable option to setup all the DB's defined in the OID in tnsnames.ora - I need to use LDAP.
My setup is as follows:
Install folder: /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/
sqlnet.ora
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES,LDAP)
I am certain that tnsnames.ora and ldap.ora are valid, as I can connect successfully on another machine with the full client installed using the same files.
I tried to setup tracing in sqlnet.ora as follows
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = SUPPORT
TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT = /tmp
TRACE_FILE_CLIENT = sqlnet.trc
but not trace file gets generated in /tmp - am I doing something wrong ? (Note, I also tried to set DIAG_ADR_ENABLED=OFF as suggested by Laurenz Albe in Instant client don't work trace but that did not help)
I checked DocID=359206.1 but I don't think that applies as I'm on 11g.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance !

rgoold, you are a star ! I should have thought about line endings of course. Many thanks for your suggestion, that fixed the problem.

Oracle error "ORA-01843: not a valid month" when trying to run sqlldr

Hi all,
I'm trying to load some data into a staging database via a CSV file using sqlldr, and am running into an issue where it doesn't like the date format I'm using.
Here is my input data:
2012-01-09 16:28:12 -05:00Here is the entry in the .ctl file:
created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS TZR'And finally, here is the entry in the .sql file:
created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONEAfter I try to load, I get greeted with the dreaded error message: Record 1: Rejected - Error on table WTPART, column CREATED. ORA-01843: not a valid month
I'm really confused as to why it's blowing up on the date, because it seems to me that "01" is indeed a valid date in terms of the date format I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hmmm, not sure exactly what the problem is. It works fine for me on my XE instance.
Set up the control and data files....

Are you sure your CSV file doesn't have some "funky" data in it?
