Install only the 9i ODBC drivers

Is there a way to have only the 9i ODBC drivers installed? I don't want this user to even have a hint of a chance to explore with the tools like SQL*Plus to the Oracle server. I understand the need to have the Net Configuration Manager installed so that a help desk person can configure the connection but can a custom install for only the ODBC drivers with the Net Configuration Manager work properly?

First, try doing a custom client install where you select only the ODBC drivers. That should, hopefully, install just the ODBC drivers and whatever supporting bits the ODBC drivers need. If that installs a tool like SQL*Plus, you can always delete the executables from the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory (or deny the user permission to them).
A friendly warning that if you're looking to do something like this you probably haven't implemented security properly in the database. Users should be given only the permissions they actually need to do their jobs, and shouldn't have permissions you wouldn't want them using when connected with any tool.

  • How do I install just the Oracle ODBC drivers on a Windows NT workstation?

    I want to access a remote Oracle database on my network via ODBC
    from Visual Foxpro. When I try to set up the ODBC data source,
    I'm told it doesn't exist. I downloaded the ODBC driver
    (ora8175.exe) from Oracle, but I cannot get it to run.
    I am new to Oracle, so any assistance you can provide will be
    greatly appreciated. (I am very familiar with VFP).
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    You have to install the Oracle client in order to be able to use
    the Oracle ODBC driver. The ODBC driver relies on, among other
    things, the network communication libraries of the Oracle client.
    If you're willing to pay for an ODBC driver, Merant (now
    DataDirect I believe) has an ODBC driver that doesn't require
    the Oracle client to be present. I've not used it, so I can't
    recommend it, but it's an option.

  • Need to install only the query for fi account receivables standard data ?

    Hi all,
    I need to insall only the query for the standard business content for fi_ar in bw 3.5 ?
    i have selected the cube and then in grouping i have selected data flow afterwards only.
    And i have selected the queries only. but the cube is selected again. Should i uncheck the cube and install only the queries and transport it?
    Pls guide me on this!!
    Thanks
    Pooja

    Hi,
    If the required cube is already avaialble and continue with the existing design, you can uncheck the cube and install only queries. Check all the prerequisites before installing queries like used infoobjects, other targets if any.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • May I install only the application?

    I just received final cut studio today. If I install only the application it will required 4 GB according to the box it came in.
    Since I dont have enough HD space, may I install only the application and be able to edit videos?
    Should I wait and get a bigger HD?
    What is the Maximum "INTERNAL" HD I can get for my MACBook PRO CORE DUO?
    Thank you all for advices.

    Someone else will know the maximum HD you can get.. I think 250 Gigs.. but could be wrong.
    In any event, you will need much more space on your drive if you are concerned about 4 GB on your 120 GB drive. For one thing you need to maintain a pad of 15 to 20 percent empty space on your system drive at all times.
    You can install various elements of the suite while not installing all of the tutorials and help files. But you will need DVD Studio Pro if you intend to burn DVD's.
    You will also need to purchase a separate firewire drive for your media. It's hard on the internal drive to run the program and seek the video/audio at the same time.

    Hi,
    Try to perform a clean boot then install the CRM 2013 for Microsoft Office Outlook.
    To perform a clean boot:
    Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility.
    Note If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, you should type the password or provide confirmation.

    On the General tab, click the Selective startup
    option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box.  (The
    Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.)
    Collapse this imageExpand this image
    On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click
    Disable all.
    Collapse this imageExpand this image
    Note This step lets Microsoft services continue to run. These services include Networking, Plug and Play, Event Logging, Error Reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you may permanently delete all restore points. Do not
    do this if you want to use the System Restore utility together with existing restore points.
    Click OK, and then click Restart.
    This way we can eliminate the affect by background programs, install the software to see if the error still occurs.
    If the issue persists in clean boot, please collect the Setup log files from this path:

  • Problem with Installing 8.0.5 ODBC Drivers

    I have been having a problem getting the ODBC for the 8.0.5 client. The installation runs fine, I use Net8 Easy Config and setup and running. I setup the datasources and sucessfully "Test" the connection with the login and password. When I go to the MS ODBC control panel, I see the Oracle ODBC, select it and then nothing happens. It just stops setting up the ODBC and MS Access cannot access the server.
    Any suggestions

    The version is the 8.0.5.10.0 ODBC drivers. I am assisting another user in this process and I do ot have the version info.
    What I did was install the 8.0.5.0.0 originally and used the Oracle installer to install the 8.0.5.10.0 ODBC and stepped the user thru the same on his end. After installing the Net8 utility test fine, it's the control panel aplet that fails.

  • DDK - How to install only the Driver development kit ??

    Hi Colleagues -
    I can't, for the life of me, figure out exactly how to go about installing JUST the DDK from the custom (custom/expand installation) menu option when launching setup.exe from a supported Windows 2003 server.
    I've tried "Generic ODBC, Generic JDBC", no luck.
    I've also tried locating "Connection Server" only - but those are NOT listed under Servers that can be installed individually (although I've discovered that installing WebIntelligence Processing Server installs a connectionServer AND WebIntelligence report server).
    I'd appreciate it if someone has some pointers - thanks again.
    DDK Fan

    TNSNAME =
      (DESCRIPTION =

        (CONNECT_DATA =

  • Move to new install only the email and password ?

    I had thunderbird installed on the old machine and i have a full backup from drive c: , but now on the new machine i want to transfer only the email and password. how to do that?
    Thanks

    I started by writing that I didn't know what you meant by "i want to transfer only the email and password", but that got lost when I went off to another page to look up the profiles article.
    People use the word "email" very loosely and it could mean any or all of email address, email account, email server, email message, or email client.
    So, in this statement: "i decided to move email and pass", I take it "email" means your account settings?
    If you don't need that 15 GB of data why not just delete it from inside Thunderbird? Might be much easier than trying to dissect your profile. ;-)
    I'd copy the profile, then delete the Mail and ImapMail folders from the copy, and try with that. I'd hope and expect it to recreate the missing folders. Note that your profile will be hidden by default so you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files and folders.
    It's not a big profile that slows Thunderbird so much as having a few very large folders. Splitting a large folder into a few smaller folders can help enormously, and that's the main point and advantage of the Archive folders; old data is moved from current folders into additional folders, spreading the load.

  • OS X and Windows on MacBook Pro. Can I clean install only the OS X?

    I have both OS X and Windows on my MacBook Pro. The OS X has been ridiculously slow and freezes up most of the time, especially when I use Office. The Windows partition has been working perfectly. Can I clean install just the OS X part of my computer? How would I go about doing that? I want to leave the Windows partition alone.
    Thanks!!

    Hopefully this will work:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.

  • I was trying to install OS X 10.6.8 on my current version of OS X 10.6.4 on the imac 11. it gave me a message that the os m trying to install cannot be istalled on the current version of the os. i then opted to installing only the additional software

    only to find that the programs installed are not working and they have deactivted the already installed software and they are also not working.
    how do i revert the changes i hav done?..pls help. the computer does not boot, it does not even reach the login phase. it just shows the apple logo and the spinning gear forever.

    If your computer is not booting from the system DVD that originally came w/your computer, try a utility DVD like DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro, etc. and run the programs.
    If you do not have any utility DVDs, you will need to take a trip down to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • If ONLY the original Dev Beta is installed, will GM Candidate install over this without intervening betas?

    I have an odd problem.
    I installed the Yosemite dev beta back in August, and have all the intervening beta patches AND the GM Patch.  My 7 1/2 year old iMac is failing, so I ordered a new one.  It's supposed to be in today, and want to get it up to the Yosemite GM release.
    So - is it possible to download and update JUST the original Yosemite beta, and then when I go to App Store, I will download and install ONLY the GM Candidate, and skip betas 2-8?  It just takes my internet connection forever to download all the betas (due to size), and I'd basically just like to "cut to the chase" as they say.
    Is that possible, or am I doomed to download and install each beta (fighting the debacles of beta 2 all over again)?

    this is not possible. Snow leopard Mail will not work with any other version of OS X. you need to install Snow leopard if you want to run it.

  • How to find and back up the utilities and drivers for Satellite Pro M10?

    OK so last time I formatted I could not find the recovery disks and installed WXP Pro from a CD, there for removing the OEM on the virtual partition!! Then spent hours finding the correct drivers etc.
    Is there an easy way to find and backup the utilities and drivers I need for my system before I format the HD?

    Hi
    After the OS installation from the original Microsoft CD you will have to install only the Toshiba drivers and tools. All these applications can be found on the Toshiba driver page!!!
    I miss your notebook name in this posting!!! But I think your need drivers for Sat Pro M10! Am I right??? I found this notebook model in your other thread! Please confirm this!
    Anyway, choose your notebook model from the driver download form and download all necessary drivers!
    Thats all ;)

  • How To Install Only DAC Client 10.1.3.4.1 on Windows Client Machine

    Hi,
    I want to install ONLY the DAC 10.1.3.4.1 client on my Windows client machine.
    However, when I launch the Oracle Universal Installer the install options are greyed out and I'm forced to install both the Client and Server products.
    I don't want to do this.
    Please suggest me how do I go about this issue.
    Thanks.

    In version 7.9.5.1 the instructions say to:
    You must satisfy the following requirements on the machine on which you want to
    install an additional DAC Client:
    ■ JDK 1.5 or higher must be installed. For more information, see Section 4.3.4.5,
    "Download and Install the Java JDK".
    ■ The appropriate ODBC database connection must be created on the machine. For
    more information, see Section 4.3.4.3, "Create ODBC Database Connections".
    ■ Download the Hibernate files from the Hibernate Web site. For more information,
    see Section 4.3.4.6, "Download Hibernate Libraries".
    To install an additional instance of the DAC Client on Windows
    1. Copy the \OracleBI\DAC\ directory and its subfolders from the Oracle BI
    Applications installation (on Windows) to the target Windows machine (for
    example, to a directory called \DAC\).
    2. Copy the \OracleBI\dwrep\ directory and its subfolders from the Oracle BI
    Applications installation (on Windows) to the target Windows machine.
    Note: Alternatively, if the target machine already has Oracle Business Intelligence
    Enterprise Edition installed, you can run the Oracle BI Applications installer on the
    target machine to install the DAC Client. For information about how to run the Oracle
    BI Applications installer, see Section 4.4, "Running the Oracle BI Applications Installer
    on Windows."
    I haven't attempted this with the 7.9.6 version yet. Nor have I reviewed the documentation to see if it is mentioned as an alternative.

  • How to reinstall only the missing loops?

    When installing Logic, I accidentally interrupted(cancelled) one of the installers. (Audio Content 2).
    When I tried to reinstall logic, after inserting disc1, it asked me for Audio content 3.
    As a result, I do not know whether the loops installed properly. For some of the loops, it looks like I am missing some in the series, but I don't know for sure. I suspect I am missing some since I have "Acoustic picking 03",06 and 7, but no 1,4, and 5.
    What is the best way to ensure that all the loops & audio content are properly installed (for my situation)?
    What should I do to verify this?

    Short answer: reinstall all the loops.  Insert the first install disc from the Studio bundle and choose to install only the audio content.  I don't have the discs here with me, so I can't try it out to explain the process much more than that, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to start the process with that first install disc.
