How to use unixODBC with Oracle Express on Ubuntu 8.10?

I downloaded Oracle Express a couple of days ago, so I am totally new to Oracle.
I tried connecting via unixODBC, using dsn=oracledsn, user=dba, password=abcd and received error info:
1: st=01000, nerr=0, msg=
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
but the shared 'so' library actually does exist at the path above. I also set
ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini;export ODBCINI and immediately checked it was in the environment.
The .ini files are:
/etc/odbcinst.ini
[OracleExpressdrv]
Driver = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1
Description = Oracle 10g express driver
/etc/odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
oracledsn = Oracle Express DSN
[oracledsn]
Driver = OracleExpressdrv
Note: The dsn and the driver names are enclosed within square brackets but came out as web links above in the preview.
After many hours of googling I have not been able to find how to connect via ODBC to a local (on my PC) Oracle Express.
Advice would be most welcome.

hello
I have the same problem. My system is Fedora 11
I set the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files as you mentioned. I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/
when I try to connect using isql, I get that error:
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I couldn't figure out what I am missing.
May someone help please?

Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

Thanks in Advance

Hi Torsten Kleiber
I am interested in changing forms buttons in our existing forms .I was trying to find if it was possible.Going thru your post I realised it is possible to change properties in existing forms .
i have specific questions with JDAPI will i be able to change my buttons in a form to Iconic buttons.
Could you kindly send me the code of your class in the abovementioned post (I have created a simple class to modify some forms properties.)
I would like to have alook at it i am a Novice in java but looking at your source code may be able to give myself a head start .(I am well versed pl/sql forms and reports NO JAVA idea)
Two while trying out the oracle demo to create a form by jdapi I was able to create a class and was unable to execute it .What do i need to install to execute it. I have forms 10 installtion with Jinitiator 1.3 installed
DO i need to install Jdeveloper or JDK i think either of this is required. I shall be highly be obliged if u can clear my queries or any one else in the forum may wish to add to 2cents to my infinetly minimal knowledge of java

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

How to use FDS with Oracle DB?? JavaAdapter?

Hello,
Can anyone explain to me in plain english how my Flex
application uses FDS to connect to an oracle database?
Ok, so the mxml/swf calls the dataservice.... WHERE is the
dataservice? WHAT is the dataservice (functionaly a servlet?)?? HOW
is the dataservice configured?? Do I use J2ee connection pools?
Where are the detailed instructions for connecting my FDS
flex application to a backend oracle database?!?!?!
Ed

Hi Ed,
FDS is a Java web app that you can think of as having 3
layers:
1. A set of endpoints that clients connect to in order to
send and recieve data and messages. The HTTP and AMF endpoints are
implemented as a servlet. The RTMP endpoint is an NIO socket
server.
2. A core message broker that takes inbound messages and
routes them to their target service destination and routes
responses back out to connected clients.
3. A service layer with destinations that process these
messages from clients and if necessary return a response. Each
service exposes specific destinations. In the case of the remoting
service each destination is a Java object exposes for RPC, in
messaging each destination is a topic to publish to or subscribe
to, in the data service each destination is backed by an assembler
that manages a specific entity type in your domain model, etc.
In the data service case you can connect to a database either
via the HibernateAssembler or a custom assembler within which you
could talk to a DAO layer or manage CRUD ops directly. Your
assembler receives change objects for creates, updates, deletes and
the way you access your datastore is up to you. The intent of the
data service is to act as a layer on top of an existing Java domain
model on the server that allows Flash clients to interact with it
directly.
Hopefully that clarrifies the general picture a bit.
Regarding the error you're hitting, if that's a runtime error
being thrown on the client it's because the configuration
information compiled into the swf doesn't contain the "Employee"
destination you've added. How are you compiling your MXML app? If
you're compiling in FlexBuilder or at the command line are you
referencing your services-config.xml file using the -services
option?
Best,
Seth

How to use Jasperreport with Application Express?

Thanks you in advance for your answers.Looking at the 8.1.7 doc set (the oldest available on tahiti) I get no hits when searching for 'dict_from_online_catalog'. Searching the 9.2 doc set turns up a reference. Looks like you are trying to use an option that isn't available in your version of Oracle.

How to use Count with Date Parameters

Hello,
I am having issues using the Count() function in conjunction with date parameters.
This is a Siebel report and in my report I have 2 date parameters(From Date, To Date). In a nutshell I am basically trying to count Opportunities that has a start date within the given date period. However I don't see a reasonable way to put my date parameters within the Count() function. The reason being is that I need to have a huge chunk of code to convert the dates into a common format that can be compared, and it won't even fit within the code block in my rtf template. I am not even sure how to put multiple conditional statements inside a Count() function since all the examples I have seen are very simple.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to use Count() with date parameters?
Thanks.

Any chance you can get the date formats in the correct format from siebel?
I don't know Siebel - so I can't help you with that. If you get the correct format it is just
<?count(row[(FromDate>=date) and (date<=ToDate))?>
Otherwise the approach would probably need to use string function to get year/monthd/day from the date
and store it into a varialbe and compare later the same way
<?variable@incontext:from; ....?>
<?variable@incontext:to; ...?>
<?count(row[($from>=date) and (date<=$to))?>
Potentially you can use the date functions such as xdofx:to_date to do the conversion
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481158.htm]
But I am not sure if they are available in your siebel implementation.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Help me!! How to use JavaScript with JSP ??

I am using JDeveloper and I created a screen in JSP which uses a bean for database connectivity and retriving info onto the page.
The page has a ListBox where list items are populated from the database.My requirement is

We have a similar need. We have used Cold Fusion to display data from Our Oracle Database. We have a simple SElect Box in HTML populated with the oracle data. When someone selects say the State of Pennsylvania. then we have an On change event that runs a Javascript to go get all the cities in Pennsylvania.
Proble we are having is that inorder for the Javascript to work , we currently have to send all the valid data.
Do you know of any way to dynamically query the the Oracle database in Javascript

How to use css in oracle forms

Hello, I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 at windows 7.I have to use CSS in oracle forms.i have tried to search it but no profit.please some one else tell me that how can use css in oracle forms. Thnak You regards aaditya

Hi
As Francois pointed out Oracle forms has nothing to do with html based technology. The way you can get the equivalent effect of creating consistancy in the way your objects are displayed is by creating a set of items you want and alter their apperance and behaviour and place them into object libraries (one library should do the trick). From there you subclass all of you forms items off these libraries.

Using OCCI with Oracle XA Library

Is it possible to use OCCI with Oracle XA Library?
the XA function xaoSvcCtx() can returns the OCI service handle
for a given XA connection. but how to convert it to the OCCI
Connection class?
any comments would appreciate
Ray

Hi Ravi,
We are now building CORBA application with C++. some programs
manage transaction through Transaction service(a TM of X/OPEN
DTP architecture), these programs must use XA Library.
OCCI is a wonderful tool for C++ programer,with OCCI building
a persistent layer over ORACLE is very simple.
But if OCCI not work with XA we have no choice but PRO*C or
OCI ,which's actually C style tool and hard to use especially
in object mode.
So we hope OCCI can provide this feature in next release. and
I beleive This feature is necessary,It's very common using a
transaction monitor such as ORACLE Application Server .
regards,
Ray

Using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g

Hi everybody,
I'm using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g to continue having graphs in my application since i'm migrating from forms 6i. I've already got it working and it's great. Just have one problem left. I don't know how to change the axis labels. In Bar charts, it comes with "Values" in y axis and "Category" in x axis by default. I wanted to change that or make it dissapear. Anyone knows how to?

I've never used the jFreeChart, but according to their website you can use the "setLabel" method to set the label for an axis. Check out Axis (JFreeChart Class Library) for more information.
