Installing OLEDB Provider 8.1.7.2 on Oracle 8i DB 8.1.6.0

After I install 8.1.7.2 OLEDB Provider on a previously installed Oracle 8i DB with ver 8.1.6.0 (without 8.1.6.0 OLEDB Provider), I am unable to start the database. I am able to start the listener. However, I am getting an error message saying that Oracle is not able to find orannms8.dll on my PC.
Did anyone install 8.1.7.2 or 8.1.7.3 OLEDB Provider on previously installed 8.1.6.0 DB?
Any help is really appreciated.

Hi David,
putting a tablespace in begin backup mode has the following
affect:
1. freeze the header of the files (only the header)
2. copying the whole database blocks into redo log ( and not only
the change vectors), because you need the whole block for
recovery.
That's it. The database is still writing in these files.

Installing OLEDB Provider (10.2.0.3) for use in creating SQL Linked Servers

I've installed the Oracle OLEDB Provider (version 10.2.0.3) on my SQL Server 2005 box (Windows 2008 64-bit). However, when I reboot the server after install I do not see the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in my list of providers available to use to create a linked server to the Oracle database.
Could someone help steer me in the right direction?
Thanks!!

Hi,
This forum is for links from Oracle to non-Oracle databases. For issues with connectivity to Oracle using ODBC/OLEDB it would be better to ask the question in the ODBC forum -
ODBC
They have the experience of connections to Oracle and the software involved.

Multiple Recordsets and the Oracle OleDB Provider

We are trying to return multiple recordsets from an Oracle SP through the Oracle oledb provider using VB. First of all, is this possible and is there any example code out there. Having trouble finding some info on this.
Thanks

After reading install guide I figured out waht might be the problem.
I put OLEDB install into the same home (ora81).
It was suppose to go into different home directory (ora92).
Also, OLEDB is one of few components which can't exist in more then one
home dir on single machine. Installer knows that, and skips install of
OLEDB provider itself. So in my case I had to first uninstall OLEDB provider 8.1.7
and then install OLEDB provider 9.2

SAP BW Multidimensional OLEDB Provider and NOPROMPT option

Hello
I'm trying to connect to a SAP system using the SAP BW oleDB provider with this kind of connection string:
Provider=MDrmSap.2;Data Source=SAP VPN;Password=PASSWORD;User ID=USERID;Location="";Integrated Security=False;Persist Security Info=True;Impersonation Level=Anonymous;Mode=Read;Protection Level=None;Extended Properties="SFC_CLIENT=001;SFC_LANGUAGE=EN";Initial Catalog=$INFOCUBE;Prompt=4
I use the "Prompt=4" parameter in order to prevent the driver from displaying any window.
=> I get this error:
Authorization failed.
I'am sure of the login.
Moreover, if I remove the Prompt=4 parameter, a login box is displayed, then I just click OK, and the connection succeeds...
code (C#):
var conn = new OleDbConnection(theConnectionString);
conn.Open();
The currently installed version of SAP gui is
SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 (Compilation 1)
the version of mrdrmsap.dll (the "SAP BW DRM OLE DB for OLAP Provider") is 3.8.0.4
Has anyone already encountered this behaviour please?
I know this used to work with a previous version of the SAP Client.
Is it a known problem with this specific version of the SAP client ?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Mary.

Hi Nikee,
can you make sure the OLAP BAPI component from the SAP Integration Kit is installed on the BusinessObjects server ?
thanks

Upgrade OLEDB provider

Hi,
We found a bug in Oracle OLEDB Provider what released with 11g (R1 or R2) client.
It give size of text type columns (e.g. nvarchar2) wrongly (double size as it is in character).
I found that 11.2.0.3 version of it was repaired and free of this bug.
It is part of ODAC 11.2.0.3, but I can not install it to remain the oracle client properly working.
Net Manager disappear (freeze with close) when I push 'test' button during create a new net service.
So my question is:
how can I upgrade OLEDB provider (e.g. with new ODAC installation) and the client tools (net manager, SQL* Plus)
remain working?
In previous versions (as I remember 9i, 10g) it was not problem to install ODAC into the same oracle home.
I had try to install it into new oracle home, but it result to the same.
Regards,
Imre

Oracle.Oledb provider returning improper out-put

Dear All,
Need your help in below issue.
I have SSIS package which pull data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Currently I have used Oracle.Oledb provider for the same, but it is giving me improper result.
I check on oracle end count for that table was 26000 and when I run the same query through SSIS it shows 0 rows.
The preview of the query is showing 0 as output.
but when I tried the same using Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle it giving me proper out-put

Hi Sushant,
UseSessionFormat - specifies whether to use the default NLS session formats or let OraOLEDB override some of these formats for the duration of the session. Valid values are 0 (FALSE) and 1 (TRUE). The default is FALSE which lets OraOLEDB override some of
the default NLS session formats. If the value is TRUE, OraOLEDB uses the default NLS session formats.
Setting UseSessionFormat=true in the connection string will result in the provider using the session format specified by the client install, which should resolve this issue. The following connection string for the connection like below:
Data Source=DataSourceNameHere;User ID=UserIDHere;Password=PasswordHere;Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Persist Security Info=True;UseSessionFormat=True;

Oracle connect failed on x64 and IA64 platform via Oracle OLEDB provider

Hi everyone,
I installed SQL Sever on x64 and IA64 machine, and Create a database via Oracle datasource. I can connect the datasource via OLEDB and .Net provider successfully on x86 machine. But failed to connect the Oracle datasource on x64 and IA64.
Following is the error messgae:
1) Install 64 bit build on x64 machine:
Error message: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ORA-06413: Connection not open.
2) Install 32 bit build on x64 machine:
Error message: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
I know there is a know bug on c:\Program Files (x86)\... with Oracle provider. And some one has given a workarround method that I should move my my application out of the the folder path which includes parentheses. But it really is mess method for SQL Server (That is my application)......
Is there any other workarround method? Or when will Oracle fix this bug?
Thanks^_^
Lindsay

Is 10204 available for x64 and IA64. It is said that there is only 10204 for x86 machine, right?
I downloaded 10203 for IA64 machine and tested connection on SQL Server with Oracle datasource via Oracle OLEDB provider, and got the following error (The data source is Oracle92 installed on another machine):
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Could you please tell me what's wrong with it?
Thanks

Oracle Client OLEDB Provider Installation

I need to call Oracle OLEDB Provider "setup.exe" once I complete installing our product (using Installshield). I tried all different ways to do this and I have absolutely no luck.
1. I tried calling LaunchaAppAndWait(SRCDIR^"disk1\\install\\win32\\setup.exe", "", WAIT) in OnFirstUIAfter event before SdFinishEx function and Installshield doesn't wait for Oracle Installer to finish its installation.
2. I tried to get window handle for each window created during Oracle Installation and waiting, this somewhat makes Installshield to wait but hangs once Oracle completes its installation and sequence of windows displayed can change during Oracle Installation if user clicks on back button which will make Installshield to hang.
Enable(STATUS);
SetStatusWindow(count, "Please wait... launching Oracle Universal Installer");
WindowName = "Welcome";
FindOracleWindow();
WindowName = "File Locations";
FindOracleWindow();
WindowName = "Available Product Components";
FindOracleWindow();
WindowName = "Summary";
FindOracleWindow();
WindowName = "Install";
FindOracleWindow();
WindowName = "End of Installation ";
FindOracleWindow();
hWnd=NULL;
Disable(HOURGLASS);
Disable(STATUS);
3. I followed knowledge base article w[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

There is an Instant Client page on OTN http://otn.oracle.com/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html as well as an Instant Client forum (Products | Database | Instant Client) where you may want to post any followup questions. I know you can use ODBC with the Instant Client, so you could use the OLE DB to ODBC provider. My hunch is that you cannot use the Oracle OLE DB provider with the Instant Client, but you're probably better off posting that question to the Instant Client forum for a definitive answer. If you can use OLE DB, the Instant Client documentation needs to be updated to mention that.

Cant connect to Ora8.1.6 db using OLEDB provider for Ora8.1.7 cant find 8.1.6 OLEDB

Hello,
I need to connect to an Oracle 8.1.6 Database using OLEDB. Currently, we have one workstation with an ODBC connection and has an OLEDB Provider for Oracle 8.1.6. I can connect to Oracle using OLEDB on this machine (Winnt4 SP4) and see data from the tables. But I need to connect to the same Oracle DB from another workstation (Winnt4 SP6).
I dowloaded the OLEDB Provider for Oracle8i from the Oracle Website, and on install I observed that this one was for Oracle 8.1.7. I keep getting an error message that it can't resovle the Service Name. I have played with the Net8 Configuration assistant for Oracle8i and the other selection for Oracle8.0 or 7.0. But I keep getting the same error on the NT SP6 machine. I have looked at the tnsnames.ora file on the SP6 machine and the SP4 machine. They are different, and I tried to make the .ora file on the SP6 machine match the .ora file on the SP4 machine but still can't resolve the Service Name. I would be very grateful if someone could help me out - either finding an earlier OLEDB Provider or some configuration trick.
Many thanks,
Rich Protzel

Did you ever get this issue resolved? Do you know where I can get the Oracle Provider for OLE DB for 8.1.6?

Can I use the 10402 oledb provider to connect to an 8i database?

I have a win2008 x64 server with the oracle 92 client installed, and I installed the 10402 client and oledb provider.
I need to connect to an 8i database.
Is this possible? If so, how do I setup my environment to make this work?
Thanks,

Is it possible that the "ALTER SESSION" error (just when the application try to connect to the database) is due to change of the client? in this case 11?Possible? Sure. We'd need to see the actual error and the actual SQL statement that is being issued, however. It could be any number of things.
If I have not other option that to use the client Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, can I set something in the Oracle 11 instance configuration in order to accept the "ALTER SESSION" sent by the application?
By the way, there are any "ALTER SESSION" option that was deprecated in Oracle 11 vs Oracle 8?Oracle 8 could mean a bunch of different versions. If you mean, for example, Oracle 8.0.5, there were eleven major releases between Oracle 8.0.5 and Oracle 11.2. You could look through the New Features guides of each major release to look for parameters that were deprecated. But it probably makes more sense to tell us the actual SQL statement that is failing so we can let you know what options you have.

OLEDB Provider adds spaces

Hi,
as the this small prodedure demonstrates, the Oracle OLEDB Provider attaches some blanks to the constant read by the Sql-statement.
On the opposite the Microsoft Provider MSDAORA does what normally would be expected, it only prints out 1 single character.
What is the problem, is there something to configure ? The blankadding behaviour causes unnecessary problems.
The Oracle OLEDB Provider seems to have some problem with blanks, sometimes it adds some, sometimes it removes some.
Thanx.
Best regards
Dirk

To use 32 bit oraoledb, you'll need to set IIS to run in 32 bit mode.
Or, install 64 bit oledb/client instead.
Hope it helps,

Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
