How to obtain database connection via PL/SQL
Dear friends,
I need to obtain the database name where user is connected - using PL/SQL. That is, if I type "select user from dual" I obtain the connected user; is there some similar way for me to obtain database connection?
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin
SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'DB_NAME') FROM dual;
SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'INSTANCE') FROM dual;
You can choose whichever you want to use. :-)
Instace parameter will give you INSTANCE_ID (matches with GV$INSTANCE) so not that much useful I guess.

db1.mdb 112 KBRight-click the WINDOWS desktop, choose New->Microsoft Data Link. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to configure and test your database connection. You might connect to the Access database via ODBC or directly via Jet Engine. The Jet Enginge saves you the trouble of creating an ODBC connection on your PC. After you leave the dialog, the "data link" will show up on your desktop as text file. Open it and copy-paste the connection string to your VI.
This webpage is an excellent resource for connection strings: http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm
If your application requires users to change the database connection at runtime, you can also include the dialog via ActiveX (MSDASC.IDataSourceLocator). -

How to get database connection in common java class
hi friendz,
plz help me...
I am using JDEV 11.1.2.2.0 version.
my problem is I'm writing common java class which can reuse any application.
in this case when im create database connection like this,
String username = "a";
String password = "b";
String thinConn = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP:1521:database";
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn, username, password);
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
return conn;
but this statement not working in java class.its working only backing bean.
import oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver;
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
how can i do that??
hope your help
-Harsh-What is the error message in Java class?
With JDBC 4.0 driver the DriverManager class has added support for the Java SE Service Provider mechanism to the getConnection() and getDrivers() methods using which JDBC drivers may be loaded automatically. The following Class.forName() method is not required to be invoked.
Class.forName(“oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver”);
Only the following is required to obtain a connection.

How to Select Database Path via labview
Hello gurus...........
I am new user in labview. I want read and write in database through labivew . I have
done read and write program. Now I want choose database storage path through labview .
I tried differnt ways but I couldn't.
First read and write program i did via UDL file path .Now i want Directly choose ".mdb" file path.
I dont know how to do ......
So if you know please help me.....
Thanks advance

IndiaI think the way the database connectivity toolkit works, it is expecting the database to already exist. The function you are calling creates a table so it probably errors if the file doesn't exist. If you google 'create access database programmatically' you may be able to find something useful for creating a new access database file. Don't forget that you also have the native File I/O functions in LabVIEW for copying/moving files on disk.
For the connection string...there's a handy website here: http://www.connectionstrings.com/
I think you can also open a connection file (UDL) in notepad? -
How to manage database connections
Hi, I have been trying to find the best way of doing database connections, My application will not be used by many users since its an intranet application used by administrators only to change settings.
I want to be able to connect to db from a servlet but not have to make the connection all the time, I was thinking of creating my own ContinuousConnection class which basically keeps the connection and all you do is getConnection which checks if the connection is "up" or not, if it is up then just give it as the return value else, just create a new connection since the driver class has already been loaded...if it is null then just load the driver and make the connection.
this way in differenet functions that i have in the servlet dont have to make connections all the time.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I was thinking of putting the connection object in the data section of the servlet, but then it is more or less like static data amongst all threads created to run the servlet and I dont know what would happen if 2 querries are run from the same connection by different serving threads...can someone please explain me this..
I know a good way of managing connections is using a pool..but i dont know how useful is that here...also i am not very familiar with a pool..can someone please explain me the idea behind it..and how it works...that would be just perfect.
Thank you very much.
AnkurIIRC to setup tomcat connection pooling when using an Oracle database (for example):
Add something like this to the server.xml file:

reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/ORAC" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/ORAC">

<parameter>
<name>maxIdle</name>
<value>10</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxWait</name>
<value>-1</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</Context> This needs to go in between the <Host> ... </Host> tags (probably at the bottom) in the server.xml file (${CATALINA_HOME}/conf). You must put this in the correct place in the xml file or you'll get errors.
Then you need to add this to your web.xml file:
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ORAC</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>Again this needs to go in the correct place (as per the dtd)
Then to get a connection:
final Context initContext = new InitialContext();
final DataSource ds = (DataSource) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/ORAC");
final Connection conn = ds.getConnection();You probably want to wrap getting these connections in a class (i.e. with a getConnection method). And remember to close the connections when you've finished with them. -
How to create database connection and how to call it using Java
Hi,
Good day! I'd like to know how I can create a db connection in JDev, then use this connection to retrieve data using a Java Class? I've seen using New Gallery > Database Connection. But I'm not sure how I can access this connection using Java and display some output from the retrieved records.
Any steps/tutorial link is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
RianHi,
If you need to access the connection in the entity object then refer http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvgen.htm#BABEIFAI i.e in MODEL.
But if you want to access connection in ViewController part of application then you need to do it manually.For this i am giving you my code for reference.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Database Connectivity to Microsoft SQL Server
Hi,
Does anyone of you know how to make JDBC ODBC Connectivityto Microsoft SQL Server?
Thank you.The easiest (and cheapest) way is to use the JDBC/ODBC bridge that ships with the JDK.
To register the driver within your application you just load the class into memory like this:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
You now need to create an ODBC datasource for the database connection. Go into the control panel and ODBC control panel program to create a datasource (most people create a system DSN). Make a note of the name you give it (say MYDSN for example).
Now, to get a connection you use the following line:
Connection c=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MYDSN",username,password);
If you've set the username and password for the DSN in the control panel (as you can for SQL Server) then you can use just say:
Connection c=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MYDSN"); -

FileMaker database connection via Internet
I want to be able to connect to a FileMaker Pro database that I can keep on a Mac connected to an AirPort Express. The AirPort is connected via Ethernet cable to a Hughes HN7000S satellite modem (my only Internet connection). Can another Mac using another Hughes satellite modem connect to the server Mac? The idea is to exchange data from that single database so the files on both computers can stay synchronized.

No. ARD is for remote control, observe and management of netwoked Macs. It does not do file synchronization.
