Installing ODBC Driver

Hello:
I'm running Windows XP.
I just downloaded the ORA10203.exe driver. I ran the file and the files were unzipped into the following directory:
c:\ORA10203.
How do I now install the driver? When I look in Data Source in my control panel, I see it listed nowhere.
Can someone help?
Thank you.

The readme text states:
Part IV: Installation Instructions
This section assumes the following:
1. Oracle 10.2.0.0.0 client has already been installed on your system,
and necessary 10.2.0.3.0 patch has been applied.
2. Part III has been completed.
Installation Instructions
Once the self-extracting archive file ORA10203.EXE has been
exploded it will create an directory structure as shown below on
your hard drive.
The directory structure after unzipping and where the files to be
copied are shown below:
1. a. ORA10203\bin\sqora32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
b. ORA10203\bin\sqoras32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
c. ORA10203\bin\sqresus.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
2. a. ORA10203\ODBC\html\ODBCRelnotesUS.htm ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
b. ORA10203\ODBC\readme.txt ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
3. ORA10203\ODBC\mesg\oraodbus.msb ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\mesg\
As far as I understand it is saying "copy the files to the Oracle home". Yet this still does not install the driver. The Microsoft Data Sources tool says "use the driver's setup program".
I don't see one provided, nor does the Universal Installer seem to be applicable here.

Need to install ODBC driver 9.2.0.6.5 to client but how?

Greetings.
I have client PC (Not including DataBase engine) and I want install ODBC-driver version 9.2.0.6.5 (I have reasons). PC is normal Win XP 32bit.
I found this driver from Oracle's download pages -> OK
It's *.jar file, so I need to run it via Installer -> NOK
In Client PC I do not have this Oracle Installer, what I can to do?
It's seems that ODBC-driver need installer version 2.3.0.5.0a or later...
I will be very appreciate if someone can help.

Or download the 10g client, its in there and U can run it without having to install 10g...
this is whgat we did but it crashes when we try to create a ODBC DSN in control panel based on the new ODBC driver, this is what I am looking into currently

How to install ODBC driver minimally

Oracle9i provides ODBC driver download page. the dirver is small, only 2M after installation. However, it does not work unless Oracle Net Client is installed correctly.
The question I want to ask is, what components should I install for the Net Client? or is there any straightforward installation program for ODBC driver?
I just want to make the installed ODBC driver and its dependencies use minimal Hard Disk space.
Thanks,
Mike

Unfortunately, that's as small as it gets if you want to have a supported configuration.
If you're really stuck, you may want to investigate third-party ODBC drivers. DataDirect has a "thin" ODBC driver they'd be happy to sell you.

How to install ODBC driver

I am trying to test very simple JDBC connection. I have a database on my local machine and I just want to run some very basic SQL queries. When I am trying to run following code I am getting error saying ODBC driver is not available. Any help is highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance
CODE:
public class TestJDBC
 public static void main(String[] args)
 try{
 System.out.println("Hello World!");
 Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
 String url = "jdbc:odbc:<localDB_name>";
 Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"scott","tiger");
 Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
 stmt.executeUpdate("create table testHk(testId number(10), testName varchar2(7) )");
 }catch(SQLException se){
 System.out.println("Some error while getting Connection to database");
 System.out.println("Exception is ===" + se.getErrorCode());
 se.printStackTrace();
 }catch(ClassNotFoundException ce ){
 System.out.println("Class Name is not found");
ERROR msg is -
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driv

Absolutely,
Your URL will be different, and will be along the
lines of:
for ORACLE...
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:sid";['thin' refers to a specific driver that allows you to
not have an oracle instance running on the client
machine... port 1521 is teh default, check for
changes... and 'sid' is your instance name]
for mySQL...
String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/sid";[you can guess]
There will be a driver either incuded with your DBMS
(you don't say which you have) but u need to either
place it in your classpath (it will be either a zip or
a jar), or unpack it and place it in your
application's codebase (if you plan to jar the whole
app up and deploy it that way), either way you need to
refer to the driver class using the following method
in the constructor:
for ORACLE...
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");for mySQL...
Class.forName ("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");You do not need to instantiate this driver, you are
just telling the context where it is...
then all you need to do is...
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,
"user", "password");
Statement s =
con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);and you are away!
Totally platform independent and no messing around
with ODBC toss
good luckHI,
these drivers will be loaded automatically when we install the respective softwares ? or we have to install them explicitly??

Getting MS Access Error Code 1157 when installing ODBC Driver

I am not an Oracle programmer, so please forgive me if this is a simple question. I am trying to access an Oracle database using MS Access 2000. I'm following the step-by-step instructions that our IT department sent to me, but I did not have the Oracle ODBC Driver installed. I downloaded a driver from OTN, but when I try to set-up Access to use the Oracle Driver, I get a dialog box that says the setup routines could not be loaded because of system code error 1157. What does this mean? Is this an Access or Oracle problem? How can I get Access to connect to Oracle? Thanks for any help.

I'm guessing that you don't have the Oracle client installed. If this is the case, you probably want to bother the IT folks for the CD (or a pointer to a local copy of the image). You can download the Oracle client off OTN, but it's a very large download.
If you do have the Oracle client installed, check your PATH environment variable to see whether the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory is in your path.

Install ODBC Driver on Windows XP

Hi all
I have some problems with the installation of a Oracle ODBC Driver:
On my maschine, there is Oracle Client (9.2) installed and is working fine.
Now I need to install the ODBC Driver.
I have downloaded the driver successfully but I cannot install because I
do not have this "Oracle Universal Installer" installed ... :-(
What can I do ???
Thanks for any comment!
Best regards
Frank Uray

Hi!
You can download the latest version from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/rdbodbc/index.html
Exists version including "Oracle Universal Installer".
You shouldn't have any problem if you are using 9.2 Oracle.

How do we install ODBC driver in lunix?

Simplest way to install ODBC driver?

What is the simplest and least invasive way to install Oracle ODBC driver?
Do I need to install the Oracle client? Seems like there should be an easy way to do this.
I have an Oracle table I want to share with about five people. The best way I know how is to do it in MS Access through ODBC.

Yes, you need an Oracle client installed in order to make use of the Oracle ODBC driver.
The simplest approach would be to download and install the full Oracle client, which includes an ODBC driver (though you may have to do a custom install to select this), on each client machine.
You could use the Oracle Instant Client, rather than the full Oracle client, which is much, much smaller in size than the full client, but requires more work to get set up. The Instant Client was originally designed for developers to install as part of their own application's installation procedures, so you need to set up some environment variables to get things to work and you don't get some of the GUI's that you would get with the full client.
Depending on the Oracle version, you may also want to consider writing a small APEX app to expose the data in the table to whoever needs it.

Installing ODBC Driver for Windows Server 2008 64 bit

I have a new Windows 2008 server 64 bit in which the Oracle ODBC is missing. We are on Oracle 10.2. It looks like I need to install the developer suite first in order to get tnsnames and sql plus, but I can find only the 32 bit version. Could someone point me in the direction of what exactly I need to install in order to get sql plus working and also to install the Oracle ODBC on this server?
Thank You

I need to install the developer suite first in order to get tnsnames and sql plusThat's wrong, you need to install the correct client:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10203vista-087538.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html
Note: If you have Windows 2008 R2, you need patchset 10.2.0.5, which is only available from MOS/metalink.

ODBC Driver for Redhat Linux Configuring

HI,
Any one know the procedure of installing ODBC driver in redhat linux.
The requirement is the application is running on windows and oracle 11g database is running on linux. All the Exe of application uses ODBC driver to connect to oracle database 11g.
Is there any process to install ODBC driver in linux so that i can ran all the EXE's in linux. Can any one provide the docs on these topics.
i have read some topics and enquired most of them they said can be done using the wine utility in linux. So i think to post in Oracle forum so that i get some clue to proceed.
Thanks in advance...
SAI

Oracle provides a driver that allows a Windows client to connect to databases on any platform. If you're looking for an ODBC driver for a non-Windows client, there are a few third parties that produce these sorts of drivers (DataDirect comes to mind), but most of them are commercial. http://www.unixodbc.org is an open source project to do the same thing.

Essbase and Teradata ODBC driver

Hi, We are have installed ODBC driver version 3.04 on the Windows 2000Server environment on this server we also have a Essbase Server7.1.2 version. When I try to run the SQL from the Essbase SQL interface I amgetting this error. essbase cannot read SQL server name for [] from[ODBC.INI]" Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve this issue? Thanks aton. Regards, -Venky

most times, i think it's the essbase.sec security file thatbecomes corrupted:<ul><li>If you back up your data without using a begin-archive utility,make sure that all Essbase applications are closed and that allusers are logged out during the backup process.</li><li>Otherwise, you risk corrupting the database.</li></ul>(essn.pag, essn.ind, dbname.esm, dbname.tct, dbname.ind,dbname.otl)<ul><li>If there is a problem with any one of these files, the entiredatabase becomes corrupted.</li><li>The database must then be restored from backups or reloadedfrom exports.</li></ul>delete these files:<ul><li><code>essn.pag, essn.ind, dbname.esm, dbname.tct,dbname.ind</code></li><li>then restart the database and reload from data files or fromexport files created prior to the corruption.</li></ul>

Problem with Oracle XE client (erreur 126 in ODBC driver)

Hello
When I want connect to the server with SQL (XE Client) I wrote :
SQL> connect SYS
password : *********
ERROR
ORA-12560: TNS: erreur d'adaptateur de protocole
SQL>
When I want to install ODBC Driver (Oracle in XEClient), the system return an error : "System error code 126"
Whitch is the problem ?
Please help me !
Regards,
Alexandre

Hello,
Thank you for your help,
XE is installed on Linux Server (192.168.19.30) and is started
XPClient is installed on Windows XP Client (192.168.19.100)
I can connect to XE using http://192.168.19.30:8080/apex
The problem is that I can't use ODBC driver
In other hand, I can connect to the server in SQL command line, using :
CONNECT SYSTEM/*******@192.168.19.30
I saw in Oracle documentation that in Windows it's necessarie to use environnement variables to setup XEClient.
Do you have any idea on how to configure client and ODBC driver ?

Odbc driver error while OBIEE instal on LINUX tries to access Datawarehouse

Hi All,
I have installed OBI Apps on a LINUX machine.The ETL too ran successfully.As we can't install BI tool on LINUX I modified the OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd file on a Windows machine and copied it back to the LINUX machine.After modifying the NSQConfig.ini file I could see all the OBI Apps answers and Dashboards ie OBI Apps was installed on LINUX.But whwnever I try to access some data from OLAP i get the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Time."Year" FROM "Human Resources - Workforce Profile" ORDER BY 1
Probably this is because all the DSN specified in the rpd file were present on the Windows machine.I don't know how to modify these values for LINUX.Please help.Nothing is mentioned in the install docc as far as LINUX installation is concerned.
regards,
Soumya.

I think when your BI Server is running on linux, you would use native drivers to connect to your data warehouse database and not ODBC. If your data warehouse is on a oracle db server, change the call interfact in the RPD connection pool to OCI and give the tnsname for the db server connection in the connection pool.

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

You only need the ODBC driver on each computer. If you are distributing the SQL Toolkit app as an executable and do not install the whole toolkit on each computer, you'll need the SQL Toolkit support files. This is about a dozen files. You can get the list at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/b814be005f9da9258625658700550c75?OpenDocument.
