HY000 error retrieving CLOB-data from oracle database via ODBC

Hello,
I get error HY000 [Oracle][ODBC][ORA] ORA-00932: inconsistent datatype when I want to show a CLOB column in my crystal report. The type of the field in the report is memo - in the database it is CLOB.
How to retrieve CLOB-data from an Oracle 11GR2 database via ODBC in Crystal Report Version 12.3.0.601?
Thanks in advance for any help.
kind regards
Monika Anna

Hello,
Who's ODBC driver are you using?
Try our DataDirect drivers - https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008666562008E/cr_datadirect53_win32.zip
Thank you

Error selecting CLOB data from Oracle DB

I am using CRXI with an Oracle 10g database.
Recently, some columns were changed from Data Type LONG to CLOB. Now, I get 2 error messages when trying to select any of these columns: 'Failed to retrieve data from the database' and 'Database connector error: cannot obtain error message from server'.
I am using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle. Is there some other ODBC which can select this data type?

MS's ODBC driver for Oracle only supports Oracle 7, it's noted on MS's MSDN site.
Use Oracles ODBC Driver or Data Direct that ships with CR.

hi,
this is the code :
public class TableBean {

Statement ps;
ResultSet rs;
private List perInfoAll = new ArrayList();
public List getperInfoAll() {
int i = 0;
try
con = DriverManager.getConnection("url","root","root");
ps = con.createStatement();
rs = ps.executeQuery("select * from user");
while(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
perInfoAll.add(i,new perInfo(rs.getString(1),rs.getString(2),rs.getString(3)));
i++;
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error Data : " + e.getMessage());
return perInfoAll;
public class perInfo {
String uname;
String firstName;
String lastName;
public perInfo(String firstName,String lastName,String uname) {
this.uname = uname;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
public String getUname() {
return uname;
public String getFirstName() {

ADF table code:
<af:table value="#{tableBean.perInfoAll}" var="row"
binding="#{backing_Display.table1}" id="table1">
<af:column sortable="false" headerText=""
align="start">
<af:outputText value="#{row.firstName"/>//---> Jdeveloper 11g doesn't allow me to use this.. it says firstName is an unknown property..
</af:column>
</af:table>
Please tell me is this the way to do it.. or is it a must to use the DataCollection from the data controls panel...

SQL Server Import Export Wizard fails while trying to retrieve the data from FastObjects Database

When trying to import data from FastObjects database to SQL Server 2008 R2 using import/ export wizard we get the following error message :

Hi Chennie,
Thank you for the post.
Does the issue persists after you use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" option instead of “Copy data from one or more tables or views” option? If so, the issue may occur due to incorrect data type matching between the FastObjects database
data types and SSIS data types. In this condition, I don’t think it is necessary to upgrade the SQL Server version. Since you can open the Column Mappings dialog box, please try to modify the data type mapping manually.
In addition, the issue seems to be the same as the issue described in the following blog:

FETCH DATA FROM ORACLE DATABASE USING Web Dynpro

I want to fetch data from ORACLE database using Web Dynpro.How can I do this?

1) Are you sure that you get no results? It sounds like you are having name resolution issues, which would imply that you should be getting an ORA-00942 error indicating that the table doesn't exist (or that you don't have access to the table). If you are not seeing this error, I would tend to suspect an overzealous exception handler.
2) What database account owns the table? What database account is your ASP.Net application using to connect? Assuming these two accounts are different, your application would either have to
- Explicitly prefix the table name with the schema name
- Have a public or private synonym that maps the table name to the fully qualified identifier schema_name.table_name
- Issue the command ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = <<schema name>> in each session, in which case all queries in the session would use the specified schema name as the default if no schema name is prefixed.

how to I convert data from oracle database into excel sheet.
I need to import columns and there datas from oracle database to microsoft excel sheet.
Please let me know the different ways for doing this.
Thanks.

asktom.oracle.com has an excellent article on writing a PL/SQL procedure that dumps data to an Excel spreadsheet-- search for 'Excel' and it'll come up.
You can also use your favorite connection protocol (ODBC, OLE DB, etc) to connect from Excel to Oracle and pull the data out that way.

SOS!!!!----Error for Loading data from Oracle 11g to Essbase using ODI

Hi all.
I want to load data from oracle database to essbase using ODI.
I configure successfully the physical and logical Hyperion essbase on Topology Manager, and got the ESSBASE structure of BASIC app DEMO.
The problem is.
1. When I try view data right click on the essbase table,

I got answer from Oracle Supporter It's ok, just omit it. Then the second problem appear.
2. I create an interface between oracle database and essbase, click the option "staging area deffirent from target"(meaning the staging is created at oracle database), and using IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase(metadata), execute this interface

Hope it helps...

EVDRE encountered error retrieving the data from web Server

Hi,
I know this is the common/generic error message, following is our scenario:
We installed BPC NW 7.5 on our production box and configured F5 load balancing for two .NET servers.
We are getting the error "EVDRE encountered error retrieving the data from web Server"when we run the report EVDRE on APSHELL (original Appset). This is the fresh installation:
The workaround "Clear Local application information". Even this works only sometimes.
Is there anything else we should have configured on using two .NET servers?
Please suggest.
Thanks

hi Nagesh sorry for the delayed reply..
We changed some of the parameters at F5 switch like sticky time, timeout..
And the MDXPARSER connection to one of out application server was failling, thats why we did not had this issue consistently.
When ever the request goes to that app server fails. It took a lot effort to notice this since we were assuming the F5 switch was only causing the issue.
Thanks

To fetch data from Oracle Database

There is no other (supported) way to get data from Oracle Databases as SQL. No matter what third-party tool you use to access Oracle Databases, they all will use (embedded) SQL.
In very rare cases, one must use tools to read from datafiles directly because the database got damaged and a proper recovery is impossible. That is an emergency solution and by no means a replacement for SQL access.
In short: No :-)

Want to see on screen data from oracle database using php

I am struggling on the problem of echoing data from Oracle database (9i) to the screen for viewing. For ex. the data has records from various cities. when a particular city is inputted as prompt, all the records for the that city from the table should appear through PHP. Can someone help me?

Thank you very much for giving the link. I tried and it is working. Only, I am still struggling with trying to get many fields from the database on the screen for viewing. Ex. a prompt to ask which country and which month. If I give India and December it must give all the data pertaining to India for December. This AJAX was very useful, as it gave lot of tips, but my basic query to see the data thru PHP from my database is still unsolved. Any help??
