How to set connection between oracle forms and DB?

I have installed win xp,
oracle database 10g in c drive ,
oracle forms and reports 10g in d drive ,
how do i set the connection between forms and DB ?
i know its an old question but i am very new to this !
thanks in advance.

You didn't mention the versions or whether you are using Developer Suite or Application Server. I guess it really doesn't matter in this case, but please provide complete information in the future.
In order to connect the F/R home to a db you will need to make the appropriate configuration entries in tnsnames.ora found in the F/R home (\NETWORK\ADMIN). The entry you add will be similar to the one found in the tnsnames.ora for the db which is found in a similar directory in the db home. The entry will look something like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myMachine)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = myMachine)
)

Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX

Hi All,
The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
•Locking, what is meant by locking models?
•Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
•Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
Thanks

Hi
That is how I understand that document:
Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
I hope this helps!

How to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables

Hi,
I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server.
how to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables ? Any help on this

Heterogeneous joins do not exactly scale and performance can be severely degraded by network speed and b/w availability. And there is nothing you can do in the application and database layers to address performance issue at the network level in this case - your code's performance is simply at the mercy of network performance. With a single glaring fact - network performance is continually degrading. All the time. Always. Until it is upgraded. When the performance degradation starts all over again.
If the tables are not small (few 1000 rows each) and row volumes static, I would not consider doing a heterogeneous join. Instead I would rather go for a materialised view on the Oracle side, use a proper table and index structure, and do a local database join.

Connectivity between Oracle database and client...

Hi guys,
I was asked to make a connection between oracle client and database via internet so that our clients can access the database from different parts of the country, and the data that is transmitted in the internet does not require security consideration. And I have successfully implemented this.
But later onwards they asked me to structure it in such a way so that clients must be able to select, insert, update and delete data offline, in case there is online connectivity problem.
So my question is, are there any possibilities in oracle to temporarily store data that are available in the oracle database to the client side and then later onwards transfer those datas once the clients are available online. Or are there any other alternative ways...
Additional Information - Client access the database through an application created by VB.
Please do help me on this project.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Asif.You probably should do a cost/risk analysis. Where you are headed might be able to be done (but it will require that the "clients" also have their own copy of the database) but it won't be easy and it certainly won't be cheap, either in initial implementation or in on-going maintenance. The alternative is to take a hard look at your network connections and see if it wouldn't be cheaper/easier to be able to ensure that it is reliable. Remember "the internet" won't break, it is highly redundant. If you have connectivity issues, they will almost certainly be in your own equipment and configurations, so your (your organization) will have the ability to address and fix any issues there.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,

ODBC connectivity between Oracle 11G and MSSQL Server on Solaris 10

When we were running in 10G, I was able to successfully configure hsodbc using unixODBC and freeTDS to allow for an ODBC connection between Oracle and MSSQL Server.
A few weeks ago we upgraded to 11G and I've been struggling to get the connectivity (dg4odbc) working.
In our 10g environment unixODBC and freeTDS were compiled as 32-bit. I have recompiled them as 64-bit and switched over to an 11G listener and I am getting the following error:

Thank you for your response.
I modified the envs LD_LIBRARY_PATH parameter in my SID_LIST_LISTENERODBC to be:

and bounced the listener, but I'm still getting the same error.
I do not have a lib64 directory in my Freetds installation, but all the files in the lib directory are 64-bit.
Here is a listing of my DG4ODBC init file:

Comparison between Oracle Forms and HTML DB

Something that has always puzzled me...
What is the difference between Oracle Forms 10g and HTML DB from a functionality perspective?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html
The underlying architecture, technology used, etc might be different, but from the user's point of view, dont they both do pretty much the same thing?
Why did Oracle take the time & effort to invest in building HTML DB from the ground up (with its mod_plsql, webdb, etc earlier pedigree) instead of just investing in Oracle Forms which has a well-established history, customer base?
Thanks

This is purely a layman's perspective, but after using Developer Forms 10g intensively for about 9 months, and now just recently getting into HTML DB, my opinion is this:
HTML DB is really really great for 'quick and dirty' forms and reports deployment when there's not a lot of validation to be done. Not to say you can't do any kind of validation, I just personally don't find it intuitively easy to implement after using Developer forms so much. So far doing the layout has been hard for me, as I'm used to the 'drag and drop' aspect of Oracle Forms, but once you have your layout set, it pretty much takes care of resizing itself when your application is viewed on various screen sizes and resolutions.
Developer forms has been, for me, way easier to use to accomplish all the validations I need using PL/SQL (you can use java, too, but I haven't learned enough java yet to do that). However, it's more demanding to deploy. You have your application server to maintain, you have to copy over your forms modules, your menu modules, your library modules, make sure everything is compiled properly so your form doesn't crash when someone navigates from one field to another, etc. Also, from a dynamic layout perspective, it's a little harder to design for various screen sizes, resolutions, etc. The html in HTML DB takes care of that for you.
So basically I'm finding that each technology fills a certain niche better than the other. The fun is in trying which technology fits with which niche.

How to create dblink between oracle 10G and mysql

I want to create dblink between oracle 10G and mysql
I create it in ECC6.0 using DBCO transaction tcode,which database type can choose?Microsoft sql server?Because there have no mysql item.
I choosed MSS so that I can test it, but it failed,there is an error that 'ORA-12569:TNS:packet checksun failure'.
I configured the oracle tnsnames.ora file like this:
     CW.WORLD =
           (DESCRIPTION =
                (ADDRESS_LIST =
                      (ADDRESS =

                    (SID = XXX )
               (HS = ok )
When I tnsping CW,it will fail,like this " TNS-12569:TNS:packet checksum failure"
How can I do.

I want to know if this possible?

Please advise me to rectify the error. We've been working for the last couple of weeks.
Regards,

Sunil,
You don't need an Oracle ODBC driver.
The way it works is that in the gateway init<sid>.ora file, in your case initTelemetryDB1.ora, the parameter HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO points to a system DSN. This DSN should then be configured to use an ODBC driver to connect to the non-Oracle database. So, in your setup when you want to access the SQL*Server 2008 database then the DSN should use an ODBC driver that can connect to a SQL*Server 2008 database. If you still use the initTelemetryDB1.ora file for the connection then the TelemetryDB1 DSN should be configured to access the SQL*Server 2008 database.
However, there are a couple of problems with your actual setup -
- the configuration you have - 10.2 RDBMS on a Sun machine and HSODBC on Windows - is not supported. HSODBC should only be used from a RDBMS that is in the same ORACLE_HOME as HSODBC.
- 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and the configuration you want is supported. That is because unlike HSODBC the DG4ODBC gateway can be installed standalone with a RDBMS being installed.
I recommend that you download and install 11.20.2 DG4ODBC on your Windows machine in a new Oracle_home and access that from the 10.2 RDBMS on Sun - which is a supported configuration. But to do this, you will need to apply either the 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 patchset to your RDBMS.
There is more information in the following note available on My Oracle Support (MOS) -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
The 11.2.0.2 DG4ODBC can be downloaded from MOS as patch and for the gateways on Windows 32-bit you just need to download -
p10098816_112020_platform_4of6.zip
However, to check the HSODBC ou need to confirm that the DSN used by HSODBC points to a System DSN configured to access SQL*Server 2008.
Have a look at -
Note 109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for Windows NT
But remember this is not a supported version or configuration and you should be using Dg4ODBC.

Mike

How to replicate data between Oracle db and SQL server dbs in real time?

Hello,
Anyone has idea that what tool we can use to do data replication in real time between Oracle and SQL sever or Oracle and Sybase or Sql server and Sybase?
This is topic is brought by a project manager?
I only know Oracle to Oracle dbs by streams or GoldenGate.
Thanks
Jerry

Since GoldenGate's bread and butter was (and is) replicating data between heterogeneous data sources, and since Oracle has purchased GoldenGate, that would seem like a natural place to start.
Beyond that, it depends on the architecture you want and how you define "real time." Just about any ETL tool on the market, whether Oracle's ODI or OWB or any number of third party products (Informatica, DataStage, etc) can handle "trickle feeds" from various data sources to a database target of your choosing. Different tools will have different sorts of integration with the source database, many will require that a bunch of triggers are created to track changes on the source systems.
If you want Oracle to control the replication process (which doesn't really make sense if we're talking about replication from a non-Oracle database to another non-Oracle database), you can use the Oracle Transparent Gateway products to create database links from Oracle to the non-Oracle databases and query data on the source database periodically.

Connection between Oracle 9i and MS Sql Server 2005

Hey Guys,
I am hoping to create materialized view of data on a small sql server box using our oralce 9i cluster. Anyway, i have done this with mysql using the standard odbc dirvers and a dblink, but i am having trouble finding an odbc driver for the connection from oracle to sql server. So, i was wondering if you guys know of a free, or cheap odbc driver, or have a suggestion of an alternative connection method.
PS: i have see: Heterogeneous Services Agents and Transparent gateways floating around, so are these options that don't need the odbc drivers and are free?
Thanks in advance

But you have to remember one big thing - I've not seen yet one compare that was completely indifferent to any of the included DB's. So you can be sure that every doc that you get on MS website will say that SQL server is better, every doc on Oracle website will say that Oracle is better. Every doc on other websites will say that better DB either is:
1) DB that has payed for the reserach paper
2) DB that was mostly used by the researchers
So of course you should be very cautious about each paper you get.

Urgent - Connectivity between Oracle 8i and Forms5.0

I have installed Oracle 8i with the Oracle Home as c:\Oracle and Forms 5.0 with the Oracle Home as c:\Orant. But when I run Forms 5.0, it is not connecting with the database. The error is - The ordinal 2 could not be located in the dynamic link library ORASPAWN.DLL. On clicking the OK button, it is giving a message- ORA-03121- no interface driver connected - function not performed.
How do I resolve such a problem?

Sambaran,
Forms 5.0 is already obsolete. You should upgrate to Forms 6i.
Forms 5.0 includes Oracle Net 2.0, while Oracle 8i has Oracle Net 8i.
The -03121 normally occurs when Net is not installed in c:\orant, or when it's configured to use a non-existing protocol (TCP/IP, IPX).
Hope this helps,
