How to connect to Oracle 11g using thin driver with service name & SID

Hi Experts,
Wish to know whether there is a common way to connect to Oracle 11g server using SID or service name.
Earlier I used jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>:<<SID>> for connecting to individual Oracle server instances.
Now I need to connect to Oracle RAC which provides service names. So I need to use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service name>>.
This connection string is internally constructed by a program and user inputs <<server>>, <<port>> and <<SID>> or <<Service Name>>. Now this requires two different connection strings based on the input whether its SID or service name.
Is there a common connection string for these two? Based on some articles like this, I understood that we can generically use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service>>, whether for SID and service.
When I tried this format with SID, I am getting the below error. What I tried is jdbc:oracle:thin:@myoracleserver:1521/ORCL, where ORCL is the SID
java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Request your help in solving this. What I want is a single connection string whether its SID or service. Any help is of great value.
Regards
Sunil

Oracle has an entire book for JDBC: The JDBC Developer Guide.
There are chapters that provide ALL of the connection properties and the rules for creating connection urls.

  • Error while creating a JDBC connection to Oracle 11g using WLS 6.1

    Hi
    I am trying to connect to Oracle 11g database on Weblogic 6.1 server.
    First of all i would like to know if this is compatible?
    The environement that i have is this
    1. JDK 1.3
    2. Database 11g is on remote system
    3. Oracle client on my local system ( Connecting to the 11g DB through the client works fine)
    4. Weblogic server 6.1
    5. Currently the application is connected to Oracle 10g DB and working fine(We are attempting to move it to 11g)
    Below are the steps that i followed to create the connection:
    1. Made an entry for the datasource in config.xml under <WLS_DOMAIN>/config folder as below
    <JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
    MaxCapacity="4" Name="CADConnectionPool"
    Properties="user=abc_proxy;password=proxy_abc;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=thin"
    RefreshMinutes="5" ShrinkPeriodMinutes="10" Targets="CAsvr"
    TestConnectionsOnRelease="true" TestConnectionsOnReserve="true"
    TestTableName="dual" URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@gen11t-ora.db.lab.xyz.com:1530:GEN11T"/>
    2. Restarted the server.
    3. Ran the application and get the following error on the server console:
    <Aug 22, 2011 12:39:42 AM CDT> <Error> <JDBC> <Cannot startup connection pool "C
    ADConnectionPool" weblogic.common.ResourceException:

    The driver being used by your weblogic is too old and incompatible with the DBMS. Upgrade the driver.

  • How to connect from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2

    Hi,
    Is it possible to connect from Oracle 11g on AIX to SQL Server 2008 R2? If so, what is the preferred method?
    SQL Server has the original table. From Oracle 11g, we want to access data which is in SQL Server real time.

    Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products (Doc ID 1083703.1)
    Functional Differences Between DG4ODBC and Specific Database Gateways (Doc ID 252364.1)

    The Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL) needs a separate license but the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) is included in your RDBMS license. You only need to provide the third party ODBC driver needed by DG4ODBC.

  • Signal 11 using thin driver with J2ME

    I'm trying to use JDBC in a client application on a linux appliance using J2ME (CDC, Foundation Profile with optional JDBC package), but when it tries to load the Oracle driver (oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource) there is a memory fault. I know it's not a memory allocation or memory size problem, because on my desktop it only allocates 300 K, and I have more than 10 Mb free RAM in the appliance, and I changed all possible memory parameters in the JVM initialization.
    At the end of the day, all I need is to connect to an Oracle 8.1.7 database from embedded Linux. Is it possible to use oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver , the driver for Oracle Lite, instead of the driver in classes12.zip? Will the client work correctly?
    If you have some contact with Oracle and interest in J2ME, I would like to encourage you to visit
    http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr169/
    and ask your Oracle representative about its support for J2ME and JDBC.

    Wish to know whether there is a common way to connect to Oracle 11g server using SID or service name.
    Earlier I used jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>:<<SID>> for connecting to individual Oracle server instances.
    Now I need to connect to Oracle RAC which provides service names. So I need to use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service name>>.
    This connection string is internally constructed by a program and user inputs <<server>>, <<port>> and <<SID>> or <<Service Name>>. Now this requires two different connection strings based on the input whether its SID or service name.
    Is there a common connection string for these two? Based on some articles like this, I understood that we can generically use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service>>, whether for SID and service.
    When I tried this format with SID, I am getting the below error. What I tried is jdbc:oracle:thin:@myoracleserver:1521/ORCL, where ORCL is the SID
    java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    Request your help in solving this. What I want is a single connection string whether its SID or service. Any help is of great value.
    Oracle has an entire book for JDBC: The JDBC Developer Guide.
    There are chapters that provide ALL of the connection properties and the rules for creating connection urls.

  • Linked Servers - Sql server 2005 to connect to Oracle 11g using ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora

    We have a SQL Server 2005 64bit box that needs a linked server created to Oracle 11g 64bit box. I have all the Oracle client software installed and can successfully connect to the Oracle database using SQL+ on the SQL Server 2005 64bit box. When I create
    the linked server and select the OraOledb.Oracle provider, I get the TNSNames error. The Oracle server does not use tnsnames.ora it uses OLAP.ora to resolve. How do I get Linked server to stop trying to connect via TNSNames and use the OLAP.ora file instead?
    I can't find any articles for this specific issues. All Oracle examples tell you to use TNSNAMES. The Oracle server is not under my companies control so I can not force the vendor to use tnsnames instead of OLAP.

    Hi,
    Have you got a resolution?
    Thank you.

  • How To Connect To Oracle 11g Database From Microsoft Excel

    Hi All,

    Hi,
    Did you install oracle client on the machine? Can you do "tnsping <SID>"? Can you connect to DB using sqlplus ?
    Try using tnsname for server name.
    Connecting to Microsoft Data Sources Through ODBC Connection  This shows how to connect using ODBC connection. I think this would be more appropriate.

  • Not able to connect to oracle 11g using toad9.6

    Hey...
    I installed 11g on Win7- 64 bit. I'm able to connect to DB using Sql*plus and cmd prompt but when i try to connect through toad, it says no client installed.
    I installed 11g with "Desktop class" option.
    any suggestions ???

    Hi,
    1. If you have installed db and toad on the same machine, then the ORACLE_HOME of the database can be used as client.
    2. But if you have installed Database on machine1 and you try to connect from laptop1 then on laptop1 client must be installed (to allow TNS communication).
    In case 1 above, check installed clients in the window (Session -> New Connection) on TOAD and make sure it is not red. And define TNSNAMES.ORA in the same oracle home listed in installed clients.
    In case 2 above, you must have to install a client to allow the communucation between toad and server.
    Thanks

    I downloaded instantclient-basic-11.1.0.7.0-aix-ppc64.zip from oracle site and used the same for connection to 11g server for testing my application on AIX 5.3 machine. I am also using easysoft driver for the connection. But I am uhnable to connect to Oracle 11g server from AIX 5.3 using instantclient_11_1 client
    libraries. I get the error "Could not load oracle libraries". Error is as below:
    WARNING: Setup was unable to contact your ORACLE
    WARNING: server by using the connection options
    WARNING: you specified.
    WARNING: Error connecting to DB: -1
    WARNING: HY000: [unixODBC][Easysoft][Oracle]Could not load oracle libraries
    But I could connect to the same server from AIX 5.3 machine using instantclient_10_2 libraries and same eaysoft drivers successfully.
    Looks like there is issue with connecting with instantclient_11_1 client libraries from AIX 5.3. I also tried with using 11.1.0.6.0. Same issue is observed.
    Did anybody else face similar issue?
    Thanks and Regards,

    I you find nobody who has the same problem, here are some hints:
    - Try to connect using "sqlplus" from the instant client. If that fails, there is probably a problem with your setup.
    - Look if the Easysoft driver supports Oracle 11.1 as client.

  • How to insert data from *.dmp file to  oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

    hi
    i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
    how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
    and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
    thanks in advance

    Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
    Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
    Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.

  • Error connecting to Oracle 11g Database

    Hi All
    I am testing .NET connectivity to Oracle 11g and I am not successful for a while.
    I've tried to connect to database using library included in Oracle 10.2.0.3 Client and as a result I've got "invalid username or password" error. Then I've tried to use ORAC 11.1.0.5.10beta. I successfully connected to the server, but when I try to exec any query my program hangs.
    Both of them work correctly with Oracle 9i database.
    Also I've tried Microsoft .NET provider and it connects and executes queries fine (though 3 times slower).
    How do you think what is reason or how can I find the reason?

  • Failover not working while connecting to Oracle 11g database

    Hi,
    We have a J2EE application that connects to Oracle 11g database.
    The connection URL we are using is as below
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=abc.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= xyz.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PQR)))
    The issue that we are facing is, the database failover is not working.The application only connects to the first host in the TNS entry.Evertime there is a failure in the connection to the first host,manual steps are required to swap the hosts.
    This started happening after we upgraded Oracle DB from 9i to 11g.
    We are using the client jar of 9i to connect to 11g. Could this be causing the problem?
    Thanks In Advance.

    Yes, you are right. Nothing else was updated.
    The application still works as expected except the failover.If you are correct then I seriously doubt it has anything to do with java. It would be something to do with Oracle and/or network infrastructure.
    If not then it is some small problem with the driver. You can try updating the driver but I wouldn't expect a fix.

    OracleConnection connect = (OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection(" ", , );
    Anyone can help?Thx!

    I still can't get it.

    # Thin Driver, a 100% Java driver for client-side use without an Oracle installation, particularly with applets. The Thin driver type is thin. To connect user scott with password tiger to a database with SID (system identifier) orcl through port 1521 of host myhost, using the Thin driver, you would write :
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
    ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost:1521:orcl", "scott", "tiger");
    I don't even know my SID , port & host. How to get them?
