How to connect to SAP Database from a Adobe flex application?

Hi
I am an intern currently working on designing an Adobe flex interface that interacts with an SAP Database, although im torn between methods of implementing the most efficient connection without over-complicating the problem. I believe the best approach would be to use SAPJCo but am unfamiliar with how to approach this method and am finding it hard to get detailed documentation or code examples which show connecting to a Database. Another approach would be using a web service but my problems again arise with my lack of knowledge to connect to the Database.
Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonny

Hi Jonathan.
I believe webservice is the best approach, steps to create webservice is very simple.
1. create a webservice from a standard rfc or bapi.
2. release and activate webservice.
3. it will generate wsdl file which can be used in flex environment.
creating webservice.

How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application

Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.

Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

Dear Laura,
I mean first variant where the database would be the same:
scott/tiger@database1
foo/bar@database1
Of course I understand that we must register every user in database by "CREATE USER XXX" and it is unacceptable for Internet. But it may be very convenient for an Intranet because we can build access restriction based on set of views without any changes in applications.

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

How to connect to oracle9i database from Unix

Hi All,
How can i connect to remote oracle9i database(windows based) from Unix. I have following server information Server IP, Username , Userpassword , DataBase name.Do i need any other information to connect to server?
How can i connect database from Putty?
Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
please help me i am new to oracle .
Thanks in advance.

Oracle generally uses a special set of software, commonly called the SQLNet or Oracle Networking, as a layer to provide a connection between the client and the database server.
In general terms,
- the client software (perhaps sqlplus, an application, ODBC) calls Oracle Networking on the client computer and says "please connect to database known as 'x'";
- Oracle Networking translates the request, often by looking up 'x' in the TNSNAMES.ORA file at the client side, to get the host name, the port the Oracle listener is waiting on, and the name of the database service to access;
- Oracle Networking contacts the computer on the required port. If the listener is there, the Oracle Networking client asks for a connection to the database service;
- The Listener (if it recognizes it) asks the database service for a 'server process';
- The database starts up a server process which grabs a network port and tells the listener which port was obtained;
- The listener tells Oracle Networking on the client which port to use;
- The client disconnects from the Listener, and reconnects at that port;
- The server process starts authentication and session initialization, after which we are good to go.
In answer to your questions:
1) How can i connect database from Putty?
That implies you want to telnet to the Windows box and run the client stuff locally on the Windows box. So that means you need to look at telnet or ssh documentation - this has nothing to do with Oracle.
2) Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
Not really. It does mean you might want to install an Oracle CLIENT (see the download section of http://otn.oracle.com) which will initiate the sequence as above.
A different sort of client is SQL Developer, a Java-based GUI with it's own built-in Oracle Networking, that displays database stuff. That is also offered by Oracle at the same download page.
3) and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
Oracle provides a C/C++ API as a pre-processor, called Pro*C. I suspect this si way beyond what you want right now.
4) please help me i am new to oracle .
Please, please, please, please, please ..... please .... purchase and read http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oressentials3/

How can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

how can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

Hi Again
There is a library by Mimer which allows you do connect to a Mimer SQL Server, don't know must about it, but here is a link.
http://developer.mimer.com/
If that doesn't suit you, I suspect that you will have to use some sort of proxy solution. Either by creating a servlet to accept the sql string you want to send, or by creating your own custom proxy server running J2EE. The servlet or the proxy server must be able to receive an SQL String, do the query to the actual database and return the results in some sort of format to the mobile device. Maybe just a space delimited string.
Hope this helps

How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013. The development environment is found below at [A]. I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
database (.mdf) that exists online. I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file. Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems). So I'm looking for another way. What I did was create
(or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
is the format it seems). It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
So my question is:
1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data? What tool do I use? I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx
and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio? I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013? I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework. Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
(CRUD), but it remains online. Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy? I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul

Thanks but these links are too general to help.
"2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of. I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases

There is idea how can resolve this problem

Connection to Embeded Database from Crystal Reports XI

I am writing an application that uses a SQL Server Mobile Database. I have not been able to determine how to connect to this database through Crystal Reports.
1. Is it possible?
2. How do I provide the connection string that uses only 2 parameters?
Gene

When you create a DSN the ODBC string expects information for Server, Database, Username, and Password. When you are working with an Embedded Database, typically you have a filename and a password (which can be null). I was not able to create a DSN for this connection.
What I have been able to get working is the following:
1. Create an ADO DataSet Object within the application.
2, Create the CR attaching ot the DataSet Object.
3. In the application code where you are attaching the CR to a viewer you must
      a. Define a Data Adaptor for the DataSet.
      b. Define a Data Table and load the table from the DataSet GetData() method.
      c. Define the full path to the report file.
      d. Define a ReportDocument Object
      e. Load the report path in the the ReportDocument Object
      f. Define the DataTable as the Data Source to the ReportDocument Object
      g. Define the Viewer ReportSource as the ReportDocument Object.
I have been able to use this approach on 3 separate reports and returned the correct data. A lot of steps, but it is working.
