Excell via ODBC

Hi,
I have ported a aloder LV project from a Win3.11 engine
to a Win NT4
This project accesses .xls data via ODBC
Question : in ODBC access setting, folder "User DNS"
you must select a Workbook ( a *.xls file )
This means it accesses only this named file.
How to make ODBC access any in LV specified file without
reconfiguring the ODBC Data Sources ?
Or can LV rename a *.xls to a given constant name ? this would
solve my problem too
Thanks
Jean-Luc

Maybe this helps, allthough it's no exact awnser to your question (I
think..).
You can create, modify and read the ODBC sources through the registry:
for user dsn:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ODBC/
All the available drivers are in ODBCINST.INI, all sources are in ODBC.INI.
You could modify a ODBC NSD's source file to point to the desired file.
Use regedit to debug.
Hope it helps,
Wiebe.

ODI reading Excel via ODBC on Linux

I've got ODI loading data from Excel via ODBC with everything running on Windows, and it runs fine!
But will this work when I run ODI on a Linux platform? Will I have to buy some kind of ODBC driver for Excel under Linux? Has anyone done this before?
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks
A

There exists a native JDBC driver for excel, it is a sourcefourge project. This allows you to read excel data irrespective of platform through JDBC rather than having to use the JDBC/ODBC bridge.

Error when connecting to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Oracle DB: 9i release 2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0
MS Excel: 2000
===================
When I try to connect to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel with "connect scott/tiger@odbc:libro" I get the following error:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed

SQL Server objects are commonly case sensitive, so please surround the column and table names by double quotes:
SELECT "Type_PK_ID" FROM "dbo"."boundaries"@sqlserver
SIDE NOTE: Oracle is by default not case sensitive and all object names are stored in upper case. To get case sensitive objects they need to be surrounded by double quotes. In HSODBC case sensitive table names were commonly found even when not surrounded by double quotes as the gateway used internal SQL Server methods to find the correct table nameing - this method does not work for column names. So to be able to query a case sensitive column it needs to be surrounded by double quotes and the table name must be written as stored in the source database.

URGENT - Unable to link to VFP 9 tables in Access and Excel 2007 in Windows 7 32-bit via ODBC

I have 3 VFP 9 databases and am able to connect via ODBC to 2 of the 3 in Access '07. I can open all 3 the dbf's via FoxPro just fine and 2 months ago I could link to all 3 databases via ODBC with no troubles. I know the problem child (specifically
Accpac/Sage acctg) is intact. Since I had to reformat my computer, I've been able to relink to everything except this one database. Any suggestions as to why I can't make the link work?
As this is our previous system that is no longer used, I really need to get this link set up for queries and reports in Access.
Thanks,
Kristi
Thanks!

This does not appear to be related to sql server, so posting to an access forum would likely be more effective.

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

Trouble in extracting Via ODBC to Oracle or Access - Numbers Change

I am running a report that I only want the group records printed. One of the group fields shows a sum of a function from the detail records.
The following function sj_rec is on the detail record
WhilePrintingRecords;
Numbervar clm_sj_amt;
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} in ["S","J"] then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt + {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} = "R" then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt - {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
clm_sj_amt;
Then on the Group Record we have disp_sj function
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar   clm_sj_amt;
clm_sj_amt;
On the crystal report every thing looks fine.
When I extract the Information Via ODBC to Oracle or Access the numbers change. If I extract to Excel it is fine.
Can you please explain why I canu2019t get on oracle the exact info displayd in crystal ???

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum

Connection to MySQL via ODBC not working

Hello all together,
I've got a problem with the ODBC connection to MySQL. The connection via ODBC is established and things like tnsping are working.
When I select some data within the SQL*Plus environment, I get no real result. For example "select table_name from all_tables@mysql;" returns nothing.
My entry in listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=odbc_mysql)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.0.1\db_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
My entry in tnsnames.ora:
MYSQL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID=odbc_mysql))
(HS=OK)
The initodbc_mysql.ora in ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_mysql
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
HS_DB_NAME = hsodbc
I tried some modifications but I still get no data from mysql database. When I try "select * from customer@mysql;" I get the correct number of records, the correct column names, but the content is always "¬¬¬¬". The odbc driver works, because with MS Access I can fetch the data. I'm using Oracle 11g Release 1 EE and MySQL ODBC 5.1.5.
What could be the reason for this?
Greetings,
Joerg

created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
idClass
ClassName
123
H e l l o
As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
Here the data type mapping:
SQL> desc "movieclass"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
idClass NUMBER(3)
ClassName NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(50)
What's the exact version of DG4ODBC you're using? 11.1.0.7?
According to the listener file you're using DG4ODBC on Windows. There was a high/low byte issue in DG4ODBC for Windows. This issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7 and a certain patch. So I recommend you to get first the 11.1.0.7 patchset (if you don't already have it installed):
6890831 Oracle Database Family: Patchset
11.1.0.7.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER 11.1.0.7.0
and then please apply also the latest patch:
8689191 Oracle Database Family: Patch
ORACLE 11G 11.1.0.7 PATCH 16 BUG FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT 11.1.0.7.0
There was a high/low byte issue

Problem remote connection to SQL via ODBC

Hello, I have a server machine on which I installed the "SQL Server 2008 R2 Express." On the same machine I have configured a connection to the SQL server via ODBC and I developed a VI that uses the "LABSQL ADO function" and it perfectly communicates via ODBC with the database.
The problem is when I try to connect to the database from a remote PC. Even on the remote PC I configured the connection via ODBC. I launch the same VI I described above, it performs correctly the ADO Connection Open the ADO connection, but the SQL Execute returned an unknown error: -2147217865. It seems that it can not find the table on which I am doing the query.
Does anyone have any idea? I have no experience with databases and do not know what tests to do.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
actually the Microsoft error code seems to be related to not-existing table (see here).
Anyway, this error code may result when trying to use tables with spaces or other special characters ("-", "/", "\", "?" ) in their names.
Is this true also in the database you are using?
Could it be an issue with permission levels?
I hope it helps!
Bye,

MARS connection to SQL Server in JAVA via ODBC

Hello.
I've got this problem.
I'm managing an application JAVA/JSP, based on a 3-tier architecture.
The connection to the database is performed via JDBC/ODBC, in order to work with different DRMS.
Everything is ok when connecting to Oracle or MySql via JDBC, but when we connect to SQL Server via ODBC we get this error: "ODBC SQL SERVER - Connection is busy with result for another stmt".
That's why the application executes more than one SQL statement, opening a ResultSet object, under the same connection.
This is the way the application is performing, and we can't change it.
I've read that on SQL Server 2005 is available a new connection parameter called MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets), that should resolve this problem.
But I was not able to find any way to invoke this type of connection in JAVA for an ODBC connection! (I've found only tips for .NET...).
Many thanks if somebody can suggest me how to resolve this problem.
It's urgent!

Use JDBC. Get a SQL server JDBC driver. Unfortunately I don't know of any free ones, but one I have used in the past is from http://www.jnetdirect.com/
Maybe you can search in the JDBC forum for the answer - Its a common enough question I know.

Open .csv file in excel via Labwindows

Hello
After writing all my data in a .csv and closing it (using fclose), I would like to open this .csv file using Excel via a Labwindows command so that the user can see all the data. Is that possible? If yes, which function should I use?
Thanks

The simplest way of all is to issue the command OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer (): it should automatically open Excel with the document in it. It is equivalent of double-clicking the file in windows explorer.
If it does not opens the file, you must verify that in windows CSV file extension is correctly associated with Excel application.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Call stored procedure(with parameters) via odbc

In my application I like to use the below statement to call a stored procedure with parameter and return a result set.
{CALL PP.getPerson('daniel')}
but this will just return errors to my application.
If I change the statement to:
{CALL PP.getPerson(?')}
and bind a parameter and its value, it will work.
My question is, is it possible to call a stored procedure via ODBC without binding parameters in application? I mean, what will be my SQL equivalent if I don't want to do parameter binding in my application?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate any help :-)

Oracle Cloud connections by other databases via ODBC/JDBC/XML

If we move to the Oracle Cloud, will these tables be available from other SQL clients via ODBC/JDBC/XML? It obviously works fine with an internally hosted Oracle solution, but I didn't know if moving the Oracle Cloud would remove these features. Thanks.

You need a service to auto start/stop instances. Pls See

How query data in pl/sql via ODBC from DB2 on AS400

Hi,
What's the most easy way to do some selects on tables in an external (non-oracle)database via odbc?
I only need selects, no dml-statements like inserts en updates...
Where can I find more information about this subject?
Filip

You need to use Oracle Heterogeneous Services. Firstly you have to obtain and configure DB2 ODBC drivers. I got mine from ibm.com (not free) but I am sure there are some third party vendors out there. I don't know much about DB2 so I can't help you with the configuration (I asked a DB2 DBA to help me with that part).
The rest is just setting up Oracle HS and creating the DB link. The following steps should help but there are much more detailed manuals for Oracle HS on http://tahiti.oracle.com.
Listener Configuration
Add the following entry into the SID_LIST part of the listener. The SID_NAME will be used in the heterogeneous services configuration
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=db2)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\ora92)
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
Restart the listener.
Heterogeneous Service Configuration
Under ORACLE_HOME\HS\admin create the following text file called initDB2.ora (the DB2 part should match the SID_NAME used in the listener configuration).
Put the following line in the text file (the DQ01 is the name of the DB2 ODBC System DSN):
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=DQ01
Client Configuration
The client side refers to an Oracle database that will use the heterogeneous gateway.
TNSNames Entry
Put the following entry in the tnsnames.ora file (the SID part should match the SID_NAME in the listener configuration):
DB2.telkom.co.za =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=cntrra20-esdt00)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=db2))
(HS=OK)
Database Link
Create a database link that references the new tnsnames.ora entry:
create public database link db2
connect to oratst identified by oracle using 'db2';
Test the database link.

Exporting .rep Files to Excel via openDocument?

Hi,
as the documentation states, only .rpt can be directly exported to excel via openDocument's sOutputFormat.
Others created with Desktop Intelligence (.rep) can "only" be exported to PDF and HTML via sOutputFormat.
However, in the WebIntelligence Toolbar there is the possibility to Export those .rep Files after generation.
The URL for the export looks like /saveAsPDForXLS.jsp (or something like that), and as far as i remember a sEntry GET var is passed with the query.
This sEntry var - i suppose so - is an unique id for the freshly generated document?
Anyway, my question is, isnt there a way to use openDocument to export .rep Files to excel?
thanks!
attila

Hi Ted,
exactly, but as i mentioned when the request is finished and e.g. the pdf document embedded in a frame shows up, there is the chance to export it via the toolbar to csv/excel.
When selecting that option, a redirection to /saveAsXLSorPDF.jsp (or so) is fullfilled.
I'm not sure what exactly happens between that redirect, maybe you can help me on that point.
The sEntry parameter being passed to saveAsXLSorPDF.jsp, where from (or how) is it generated?
Does the sEntry param depend on the openDocument URL request, Is there some special algoritm for generating that sEntry?
To make it clear, what im thinking about is:
I can make an openDocument URL Request
sleep(20min)
Make another request to saveAsXLSorPDF.jsp with the sEntry which i could generate by myself, if i knew what algorithm is underneath!
Thanks in Advance
