How efficent is accessing Lite via ODBC?

(we haven't got yet Oracle Lite nor know too much about it ...)
we developed a "prototipe" using MS Access, and now we are planning to upsize to a client/server architecture, and we are thinking to use 8iLite, but we would like not to throw away the front end, so we are going to use ODBC: is it reasonable to access an 8iLite server via the ODBC driver, or we need to use native API calls to achieve aceptable performance?
thank you for any information

Is anybody still curious about this?
Thanks!

  • Accessing RDB via ODBC

    Hi,
    Im currently running Oracle RDB v7.1-0 on an ALpha Open VMS box. Im using TCP/IP via Multinet. Apart from the Oracle RDB ODBC Driver; what other application do I need up and running on the Alpha so that I can attach to RDB via MS-Access ? Do I need to have SQL Services started on the Alpha ??
    Please help ?? Appreciate your suggestions.

  • How do I access RunState via the C interface?

    I'm utilzing TestStand by controlling it via a C++ program and TestStand as a COM module.  I haven't been able to find how to access the RunState property.  Thanks.
    -G-

    Hey Grasshopper,
    I'm not certain, but it sounds like you are building a User Interface in C++ to operate your sequences, much like the one you can find at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\OperatorInterfaces\NI\Full-Featured\C++ using MFC.  If this is the case, then the way to get access to the RunState property is by utilize UIMessages.  You should be able to do a search on the forums or in the Developer Zone and find some more information and sample code about UI Messages, but in a nutshell, you'll send a message to the User Interface that you are building by utilizing the ActiveX adapter (Action Step) in a TestStand sequence (The Method is PostUIMessageEx and can be found in the Thread class).  When you send the data you will want to send ThisContext via the ActiveX parameters.  You will then use the ApplicationMgr Control in your UI to register the UserMessage event and then create a function to be called when this event does occur.  In this function, you can get the Sequence Context from the ActiveX parameter and at that point can handle it just like any other code module to get and set items within your locals, runstate, or whatever you want.  That should give you a start, let me know if you into major issues.

  • Accessing Views via ODBC from MSAccess

    Hello,
    This started as a simple thing, allow somebody to access to a database on a SQL 2005 server so they could get to it from MSAccess. I have created a login (Windows Authentication) so they can see the database and gave them "public" and "datareader" abilities.
    The user then informed me that while they could see the views they could not see the data. Not being a DBA (sorry) I added "public" to the view's permissions (under properties) and granted it "Select" access and nothing else. After I completed this the user could not even see the views to pick them (via the ODBC link from MSAccess) and when I try to remove "public" from the permissions it dissapears, but when I reopen the permission "public" is back.
    I then find out there is no data in the views and so the user would not have been able view anything anyway.
    So what I want to do is remove "public" from the views permissions, is this possible?
    Thanks for any help,
    Tyrone

  • How do I access GMail via POP?

    Before upgrading to Mountain Lion I had Mail configured to access my GMail account via POP rather then IMAP. I mistakely deleted the GMail POP account configuration. Now, Mail 6 won't allow me to chose how to access GMail - POP or IMAP. Apple removed the Account Type option that was present during account set-up. Is there any way I can create a mail account configuration that uses the POP protocol?
    Thanks,
    John

    IMAP is inferior to POP for a lot of business applications. It's not really correct to say IMAP is better than POP, they are different methods with different feature sets. With IMAP there's no ability to store a message on the server if you download, then it is deleted on a client. This can be a disaster when you have multiple people monitoring the same email, or you are using multiple devices. Once accidental misclick archive filing for example while on your iPhone can cause your desktop not to receive the mail, or not be filtered properly. Many business depend on this for orders, customer service, and general communication. IMAP cannot be trusted, even with myself as a developer. Using IMAP is like relying on interns at Pixar to use Unix commands perfectly and not delete the feature film with a late night brainfart.
    When you receive a lot of email, things get overlooked, and IMAP has been the root of more than one catastrophe in my life. The main upside to IMAP is that you can manage the space of email, but this is 2013, and my entire mail archive since 1994 is less than 50gb. I think space doesn't matter much anymore, better to be safe with pop, than sorry. I might get my email 1-5 minutes later having to fetch it instead of being pushed, but that's ok considering the consequences of the alternative. Email is not designed to be an instant thing anyway.
    It's annoying gmail defaults to IMAP in Apple mail now, but not in IOS. Makes no sense.

  • Iphone4 - How can I access net via GPRS or EDGE

    All in title really
    Net loads fine with Wi-Fi all pages i want really fast
    but soon as i turn router off it will not work any sites
    How can I tell it to go GPRS instead og Wi-Fi please
    also have issues with not able to send SMS texts I choose a recipient then after typing the message the ''SEND'' button is greyed out and wont let me press it????why????help?????

    The iPhone will connect to the fastest internet connection that is available at the time. If wi-fi and 3G network access is on, when leaving the range of an available wi-fi network that your iPhone has access to and is connected with or when turning wi-fi access off, if your carrier has 3G network access available, the iPhone will connect to your carrier's 3G network. If 3G network access is not available or you have 3G access turned off, the iPhone will connect to your carrier's EDGE or GPRS network, whichever is available at the time.
    This is automatic and seamless. If you don't have internet access via your carrier's cellular network, contact your carrier to ensure that data or internet via their network is provisioned properly for your account.

  • HT1212 iPad screen not working, how do I access it via itunes

    My Ipad screen went blank but lights up.  Itunes is asking me to enter a password on the ipad but I cant see the screen.  Any way to access the ipad via itunes?

    Have you dropped it lately?
    Flip it screen side down on your lap and give it a good whack on the back.
    It sounds strange but others have had success with it.

  • HT1657 I've rented my movies on my laptop.  How can I access them via my i pad?

    I rented several movies and downloaded them to my computer? Can I access these rentals somehow without renting again on my ipad?

    You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and move them over to the iPad (similar to how you sync other content from your computer) - rentals are one-time only downloads, so you can't download a copy of them on your iPad. From the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

  • How do I access photos via the Media browser in iPhoto '08?

    I have used Pages several times before for an in-house newsletter--with good success. My last newsletter was done in the version of Pages contained in iWork '06 and with photos contained in iPhoto library from iLife '06. Now I am using the version of Pages from iWork '08 and photos from my iPhoto library in iLife '08. When I am in Pages and open the Media Browser, I can see all the photos in various Events. How do I select/choose a particular photo within an Event and drag it to an image placeholder in my Pages document?

  • 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.

  • I would like to free up some space on my computer and move my iphoto library to the time capsule and easily access it. Also, would I be able to access them via the TC if I purchased a new computer?

    I am using my TC as an external hard drive, I would like to remove my photos from my computer to free up space. I'm wondering:
    1. Once the photos are moved, how do I access them via the TC, AND will i still be able to print them and see them the way they were set up in my iphoto on the computer?
    2. If I purchase a new computer, will I still be able to access them just as easily?
    3. What is the process to move the photos to the TC?
    I am afraid that if I "erase" them from my computer I will not be able to access them.

    Are you still using iphoto?
    If so you should NOT move the iphoto library to the TC and use it.
    Apple says you will corrupt the library doing this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    Although mostly about FAT32  it adds network drives.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    Now what I cannot tell you is if the same rules apply to the new photo app. Apple might have fixed the problem.
    For iphoto you should offload the photos to USB drive plugged into your computer.. or any external drive.. the faster the interface the better.
    Apple have explicit instructions for moving the library.

  • 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

  • Database Access via ODBC

    Hi,
    Since recent (LMS3.2) Cisco released the Open Database Schema support. In the guidelines I find info/procedures to access the database remotely via ODBC. However only Solaris/Solaris Windows/Windows is described. Is there any info how I can access the Database (LMS installed on Sol10) remotely via a Windows system ?
    Jan

    The instructions for Windows/Windows apply, but you'll need to first get the necessary DLLs to allow for database access. The easiest way to do this would be to install Common Services from the LMS 3.2 DVD on a Windows 2003 or 2008 machine. Then extract the DLLs, and uninstall Common Services.
    It may also be possible to start the installer, have it extract the install bits to the TEMP location, then you can pull the DLLS from there. However, I have not tried this for obtaining database DLLs (only device packages).
