How To Connect Microsoft Excel To Oracle DB

Hi,
My team recently took over a process from another company. The other company had a macro written which connects to oracle DB and gets the o/p result in Excel.
If i try to use this macro based sheet, I get error.
Though i pass the right password it through's error.
Error is "ORA-06413: Connection not open"
Where as if i try the same user name and password in toad it works.
I see that in my system i don't have "ORACLE Provider for OLE DB" and i also don't have "Oracle DB Driver".
I downloaded 64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) Downloads from the bellow link
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html]
But it had install file as install.bat and configure.bat and on clicking nothing much happened.
I also tried using the bellow link
[http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/microsoft-excel/how-to-query-oracle-from-excel-2007/]
and
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adz0zZFePf8]
Got stuck where oracle connectivity was needed.
Thanks,
Vishwamber Shetty

is it possible without client installation on client machine??No, it is not. The very nature of ODBC drives is that they provide a generic interface to whatever client layer is necessary for the database product in question. So, for Oracle that means the (any) oracle odbc driver simply sits between the application (Excel, in this case) and the oracle client layer.

How to connect sql server using oracle Client

Hi,
I am working in oracle9i and windows os 32 bit.
I need to connect SQL server 2000 from my oracle client..
I heard about heterogeneous connectivity ...
Please expalin me the steps what to add and how to connect the sql server...
Regs....

Are you trying to connect to SQL Server from your Oracle database (i.e. create a database link in Oracle to SQL Server)? Or are you trying to connect to SQL Server using your Oracle client software (i.e. SQL*Plus)?
The former just requires Heterogeneous Services with Generic Connectivity. The latter is functionality that has been depricated and probably no longer works in your environment.

How to connect access database through oracle sql prompt

i want to connect access database via oracle , i am trying to import all the data in Access table into oracle table how it is possible .
A.R

The simplest way, if You have already created tables in Oracle DB, is to open the Access MDB, link Oracle tables via ODBC and build a query to append rows reading from Access tables to Oracle tables.
Hope this helps

How to Format Microsoft Excel spreadsheet generated using RFC

Hi Portal Experts,
Currently, I've managed to generate a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using a customized RFC. The spreadsheet was initiated when submitting data from Portal.
But, the data generated in Microsoft Excel was not formatted according to my specification. How could I format the data, alignment and to inset image file in Microsoft Excel automatically when this RFC is being called?
Cheers.
Bryan

Hi Jithu,
If you tried to write the the template the proper (textual) datatypes and the column is and it does not work then
I only can suggest to write a macro that does the Text Column conversion and have the macro triggered from within the package perhaps better off using a separate process (e.g. a console app that is done using Office interop libraries) as doing it right in
the package is quite laborious.

How to connect BISE1 to an Oracle EE on 64 Bit Linux?

Hello all,
I managed to use BISE1 with the supplied BISE1DB Database on Windows XP Prof SP2.
Now I want to use "one other database" as is allowed in the license information,
specifically an Oracle 10gR2 EE on Linux (64 Bit), which is on another node.
How do I setup connectivity to this database?
In the administration tool ODBC is used and I was able to successful import some
metadata (tables).
But how do I setup the Connection Pool in BISE1 to use the other machine?
What I am missing? Any pointers are welcome, including "rtfm" if you tell me where
this is covered ;-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang

In <drive>:\oracle\bise1\db\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
you have the following
BISE1DB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = bise1db)
add another one like this
BIEE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = BIEE_IP_OR_HOSTNAME)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl_or_sid_name)
after that on repository at connection pool
Call interface: Default (OCI 10g)
datasource name: biee
username: the_name_of_the_schema
password: pass_for_that_user
This worked for for me
Goodluck

How to connect vb6.0 with oracle Express 11g

hello
i am new in oracle and in a few concepts
i have 4 days left to make a few conversion screens to upload a data..
i'm workin with visual basic 6.0
i have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client
the ODAC 11.2
i am using ADODB with Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8
I tried with OLEDB.oracle, MSDASQL.1, MSDAORA.1 as providers and NOTHING..
example of my code:
Set oConn = New ADODB.Connection
Conn.Open "Provider=msdaora.1;Data Source=XE;User Id=aaaa;Password=bbbbb;"
can not find the components of oracle network
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Hi Pradeep,
First of all, go to the registry and search for the key LISTENER_START. Most Probably you'll find the entry as NOAUTO. Change it to AUTO. And while installing FORMS6 make sure that you've installed NET80 products.
In the most likeliest casec, you'll get a connection . In case you don't, then go and make an entry using NET80 configuratio.
Tell us more if you have any problem.
Piyush.
