Invalid driver designator in COPY command

Hello Everybody!
I'm triyng to copy table data from my local w2k oracle installation to remote unix installation using following command:
COPY FROM usr/pwd@local_SID TO usr/pwd@remote_IP:remote_PORT:remote_SID
CREATE tbl_NAME
USING SELECT * from tbl_NAME;
I'm getting ERROR:
ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
So, it seems that TO has wrong format.
(Both users are identical and existing in local and remote DBs).
Can you suggest any ideas what is wrong there?
Thanks in advice,
Yura.

Loadjava issue - invalid driver designator

Hi, I am trying to use loadjava to load a .class file to oracle92. I have set classes12.zip in my classpath.
I've tried the following commands:
1) D:\oracle\ora92\bin>loadjava -u targetschema/p@PIPPIN:1521:PIPPIN -v -f -r \ETLP
rototype\oracle\source\thirdProcedure.class
I am getting the following error using this command:

2) D:\oracle\ora92\bin>loadjava -user targetschema/p@PIPPIN:1521:PIPPIN.database -r
-o oci8 \ -f -v \ETLPrototype\oracle\source\thirdProcedure.class
I am getting the following error using this command:

Is there a certain driver I need to download and if so where can I get it?
Thanks.

Martin,
Drop the database connection string. Go to the directory containing the "thirdProcedure.class" file, then try the following:
loadjava -force -resolve -user targetschema/p -verbose thirdProcedure.classAnd I suggest you [re-]read the documentation for the "loadjava" utility, in the Oracle9i Java Developer's Guide.
Good Luck,
Avi.

I saw many messages about this problem, but didn't find in them
something to solve the problem.
Well, While installing, the installer could not run svrmgr and

installer source to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin and the installation
completed successfuly...
Now I install my tnsnames.ora, and run sqlplus user/pass@server
and got :

Satelitte L350 - DVD Recovery error "invalid drive"

Hi all,
I'm trying to restore my system with the 2 DVD recovery system (made with the utility).
All goes right until it fails at this point :
Copy Recovery Base files
The volume your selected is not valid or does not exist.
There is no volume selected.
HTMPREP ...
Invalid drive specification
ERROR : Copying of Recovery Base files failed !
Any help please ? So far i can't do anything everything has been erased ....
Thanks.

Hi tunker80,
I would also try formatting the HDD before you start with recovery installation. You can use a normal Microsoft Windows disk to format your HDD. After this you can test recovery installation.
If the same happens you could try installing Windows from Microsoft disk. So you can test if the problem is related to hardware or just recovery disk. If recovery disk is defective you can order a new from Toshiba directly. Therefore follow the link posted by MisterX.

. . . was wondering: Would you happen to know if, < Adobe CS5 Design Premium > in compatible or incompatible with MS WIN8.1? I bought a new Dell XPS 9530 -- with NO CD drive. I copied my CS5 install disk to a Flash Drive, then ran the "install" on my new computer. I had the ownership S/N, so-o-o-o, CS5 installed and "seems" to respond well. PROBLEM: PhotoShop. The Menu Bar, the Commands, the Tool Bar, the Color Palettes, and etc., etc., are all real small on my display -- I would estimate they are about 1/3 of the normal size. Same problem with Illustrator. I've made all the Screen Resolution and Print-Size settings and nothing remedies the small display. (My working page is fine; it's just the display that is REAL tiny!!) Can you help me? Do you have any suggestions for me to try? Should I re-install from the internet? Am I forced to upgrade my application? I appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks. -- Dennis

Installed iTunes on a 1TB drive designated H:. Bought a 3TB drive designated G:. Downloaded iTunes update. On "Run" command, it will not let me change the destination drive, so it registers an error, and will not update. App freezes, windows says to upgrade it.

Network drives and System Update updating itself (Error 1327.Invalid Drive)

I have a Windows network share permanently mapped as a network drive on my system. This prevents Lenovo System Update 5 from updating itself.
Here is what happens:
Launch Lenovo System Update and click Next to look for updates.
When 'Searching for agent updates' it will tell me: 'System Update is updating itself. Your copy of System Update needs to be updated. Click OK to begin updating System Update.'
Click OK, Lenovo System Update will download the update and appear to install it.
At the end it will tell me: 'System Update was installed successfully'
Click Close, just to be sure I wait for a while so System Update can finish whatever it is doing in the background (if anything at all).
When nothing appears to happen I launch Lenovo System Update manually and it will tell me it needs to update itself again, and go to the same process as above. The update did not install successfully at all. System update keeps updating itself in a loop.
Next thing I tried is manually downloading the latest System Update version from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
I downloaded systemupdate503-09-17-2013.exe for my Windows 7 machine.
The installer detects to old version of System Update and offers to uninstall that. I click Yes.
A moment later the real error appears: 'Error 1327.Invalid Drive: S:\'
The only thing I can do now is press OK to close the installer.
The S:\ drive is my network drive which is permanently mapped to a share on my NAS.
It is not an invalid drive, S:\ opens fine in Windows Explorer.
I don't know why the System Update installer wants to access my S: drive in the first place. All my applications are installed on C:. While I did move some special folders like My Pictures and My Videos to S:, the relevant folders My Documents and Desktop are still on C:.
I have found a workaround to the problem above:
Close Lenovo System Update completely when it says it needs to update itself.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator (find it in the start menu, righ-click it and 'Run as administrator').
Type 'subst s: c:\' without the quotes. Replace s: with the drive letter of your network drive, and c: should be an existing regular drive.
Now run Lenovo System Update again and let it update itself.
You'll notice System Update now restarts itself after updating and there are no problems.
Once you are done with System Update, type 'subst s: /D' to delete the substituted virtual drive. Don't worry, this will not delete your actual network drive.
The workaround does the job, but it would be nice to see an actual fix from Lenovo. I have a ThinkPad X230 running 64bit Windows 7 Professional if this is relevant.

Please try either of the workaround.
1. Create a new Admin user, log on in that and then you can install Adobe Reader,
or
2. easier solution is just create a dummy folder on your machine anywhere, lets says Folder name "Dummy" in c:\
not go to command prompt
and type subst I: c:\dummy
and you are all set to go.
once you are done, you can remove that virtual drive mapping by
subst I:\ /d
please let me know if works.

Copy Command in Pl/Sql block

Can I use Copy command in Pl/Sql.For example :-
Declare
cursor c1 is select table_name from all_tables
where owner = 'LSP' and rownum = 1;
v1 varchar2(2000);
Begin
for c2 in c1 loop
v1:='copy from lsp/lsp123479@dvlaq to scott/[email protected] create '|| c2.table_name ||' using select * from '||c2.table_name;
execute immediate v1;
end loop;
end;
Its not running properly giving an error as invalid Sql statement .
Is it bcoz Copy command cannot be used in a Pl/Sql Block.

Is there any other way to move the Table & data to another Data Base .Database link is the obvious one. And the SQL statement would look something like this (on the target database):
SQL> create table FOO nologging as select * from FOO@sourcedb;
However, the first question I always ask if why? What one may think is the solution to a problem is not always the best solution. So one need to identify the problem first, and then see what solutions there are and which one is the best fit.
Other options are replication (using materialised views for example), Data Pump (available with 10G) - even could be Data Guard, a standby database, or a Real Application Cluster... depending on just what the problem and actual requirements are.
Also important to note that SQL*Plus has its own set of commands. Do not confuse these commands (like EXEC, COPY, CONNECT, HOST etc) with the SQL and PL/SQL Languages. Not only are they executed by different software products, SQL*Plus commands are executed on the client and SQL (and PL/SQL) runs inside the Oracle database instance.

"Invalid Drive X:\" install errors

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
While upgrading or uninstalling a Windows software package (such as iTunes for Windows or QuickTime for Windows), you may receive the following error message:
Invalid Drive X:\
... where the red X:\ could be any drive letter (F, H, J, or so on.) Usually you won't actually have a drive with that particular drive letter on your system.
Typically, this is caused by a problem with an installer database entry for a component for the software package. The installer database believes that the component is on the X:\ drive. When your Windows Installer goes to remove that component from the X:\ drive while uninstalling the existing version of the software and doesn't find any drive there at all it gets horribly confused and you get the "Invalid Drive" message.
If that is what is afoot with your "Invalid Drive X:\" message, here are a couple of possible resolutions for the problem. If at all possible, attempt resolution 1 prior to trying resolution 2.
1. Temporarily add an X:\
drive to your system.
2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
1. Temporarily add an X:\
drive to your system.
So long as you actually have an X:\ drive on your system, your Windows Installer will typically remain relatively calm during the uninstall of the existing software (even if it can't find the component it was looking for on the drive in question). So one way of getting past an "Invalid drive X:\" message is to temporarily add an X:\ drive to your system.
An easy way to create the missing drive X: (thanks to turingtest2)
Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
Type in SUBST X: C:\<enter>
This will map X: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST X: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
Otherwise, you will need an external hard drive, a thumb drive, an iPod in manual mode, or any other storage device that appears as a hard drive in "My Computer" (on Windows XP) or "Computer" (on Windows Vista or Windows 7).
Connect the drive to your computer. (If you are using an iPod, and iTunes for Windows launches, quit iTunes.) Open My Computer (on Windows XP) or Computer (on Windows Vista or Windows 7). Check to see what drive letter has been assigned to the drive.
If the drive letter for the drive you added matches the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
If the drive letter for the drive you added does not match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try using Disk Management to change the drive letter of the drive you added so that it does match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message.
(1) In your Start menu, right-click My Computer (on XP) or Computer (on Vista or 7), and select Manage.
(2) In Computer Management, click Disk Management.
(3) Right-click the drive you attached to your computer and select Change Drive Letters and Paths ...
(4) Click Change ...
(5) In the drop-down menu, select the letter that appears in your "Invalid Drive X:\" error message.
(6) Click OK.
(7) In the dialog box that comes up, click Yes.
(8) Close Computer Management.
(9) Try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
If it isn't feasible to add a drive to your system, you can also get past an "Invalid Drive X:\" error message by using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
(1) Click here first, and read the important information about the utility.
(2) Click the Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
(3) Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
(4) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(5) Select the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for from the list and click Remove.
(6) Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
(7) If you have multiple entries for the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other entries for the software.
(8) Click Exit.
(9) Restart the computer.
If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when trying to upgrade software, now try reinstalling the latest version of the software.
If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when just trying to uninstall software, program files for the software in question will remain on the PC after it has been removed by the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you want to remove leftover program files, check in at the appropriate forum at Apple Discussions and ask which files can be safely removed.

Sorry about the delay in getting this out. Has this been tested then? Is there even a good way to test it when the user doesn't have admin privileges?
How would you like it integrated into the tip? How does this look?

Im trying to upgrade iTunes to v 10.6 on a windows vista pc and keep getting the error, "Invalid Drive /E". What do I do to get past this?

I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes v 10.6 on a windows vista pc and keep getting the error, "Invalid Drive/E". What do I do to get past this?

Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
Type in SUBST E: C:\<enter>
This will map E: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST E: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again.
(If upgrading software which lets you choose a location, install the software in the default location, not on the E:\ drive.)
