Is Microsoft OLE DB 2.8 unicode compliant ?

I am trying to insert chinese characters on Windows XP SP2 machine using Visual Basic application into oracle. My oracle version is 10.2 , MDAC components 2.8. The charset of my oracle instance is utf8. The datatype in visual basic for the stored procedure I am using is adBSTR and oracle datatype nvarchar2 - when I pass in English characters everything seems to be fine but when I pass chinese characters I am getting the below error :
Run-time error '-2147217887 (80040e21)'
Multiple Step Ole DB operation generated errors.
Check Each Ole DB status value, if available.
No Work was done.
Is Microsoft OLE DB driver Unicode compliant ?

OK thanks for that. So can I use Oracle OLE DB driver as a substitute ? is there any code change that I need to make this to work ? What are the implications of this change ?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle: Data type is not supported.

I got the error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle: Data type is not supported.
Shortly after upgrading from Oracle 8 to Oracle 9. I was advised to download more up to date oracle drivers, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell what version of the 'OLE DB Provider for Oracle' is already at. Is there a command I can use via SQL Plus or something?

I have found Microsoft ODBC for Oracle to be more stable than the Microsoft OLEDB for Oracle driver. I have also found both Microsoft ODBC and OLEDB drivers to be more stable than the drivers from Oracle.
You could always get the latest MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) from Microsoft's MSDN Download site and then get the ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) from Oracle's OTN Download site. ODAC requires MDAC. And ODAC has the latest drivers.
I suppose it would help to have the latest patches for your Oracle client software too. Maybe Oracle MetaLink would have these?
It may even help to have the latest service pack for Visual Studio 6 (Visual C++ 6 and Visual Basic 6) too.

I'm getting above error in the pre- execute phase of a DFT when I'm trying to fetch data from a SSAS cube using mdx query.
I'm using OLE DB provider for connecting to cube.
I got one resolution for Error Code 0X8004005, which asked me to add 'Format= Tabular' in cube's connection string. It does not seem to work either. Can any one help me out on this???

You are probably missing an update.
I saw a MS Connect post https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/250920/error-using-oledb-or-datareader-to-get-analysis-services-data where that suggestion was proposed as a fix, but is for an older SQL Server version.
So do there is a question if you pull data from SQL Server 2012 SSAS using SSIS 2012 (so no other build is involved).

Native error code -2147217887 0x80040e21 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: ODBC driver does not support the requested properties.

I configured MySQL in TestStand and making a query in TestStand like this:
Command :=> "SELECT * FROM crc_table ; " or "SELECT CRC_Value FROM crc_table ; " returns the total number of records without any errors.
But when I add the "where" clause
"SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; "
I get the error as:
Error, The following SQL command failed: 'SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; ...' Native error code -2147217887 0x80040e21 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: ODBC driver does not support the requested properties. [Error Code: -10, User-defined error code.]

I would appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Vidula

Vidula,
I am not completely sure if this is the cause of the error but it is something that will cause problems if it is not fixed. In your SQL statement you must properly concatenate your strings with your variables. In the statement you posted you were simply putting the variable names in the string, not actually pulling their values. To do so properly your query should look something like this:
"SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID='"+Locals.File_ID+"' and crc_table.Version_ID = '"+ Locals.Version_ID+"' and crc_table.Link_ID = '"+Locals.Link_ID+"' ;"
This way we are using the values of the variables in conjunction with the text strings. In this case the usage of single quotes (') casts the variables as strings so you may need to change this character sequence, but from the second example you gave I think that your variables are of type string so this should work fine.

Making ABAP sources Unicode compliant ... after Unicode conversion

Hi,
I was asked by a customer if there is any problem with the following scenario :
A system must be converted to unicode. Unfortunately, not all the ABAP source codes will be unicode enabled on-time for the conversion.
The development team wanted to know if they can assign priorities to ABAPs and focus their manpower on these ABAPs only.
The rest of the ABAPs will be made unicode compliant AFTER the conversion of the system.
I am well aware that if ABAPs don't have the Unicode flag checked, the system won't allow their execution but will it still be possible to edit the source code of those non unicode ABAPs and enable them afterwards ? From a technical point of view, I can't find any reason why it shouldn't be possible but who knows ...
Thanks for your answers,

Hi,
Yes during upgade the unicode check comes into picture..
The first unicode version is 4.7,so from 4.7 to higher versions unicode is thre...below 4.7 say 4.c is non unicode .
one example is u can dclare a variable of type X in non-unicode system(4.6c) but not possible in unicode system(ECC6.0).
Check the below links for understanding of unicode.

Is mySAP ERP 2004 is UNICODE compliant

Dear Friends,
We are planning to upgrade from 4.6c to mySAP ERP 2004.I would like to clarify is mySAP ERP 2004 is unicode compliant or not.Asking this I mean all the data will be organized in unicode format in the new system when we are migrating or not.
I would be happy if some one can let me know efforts that are need to upgrade from mySAP ERP 2004 to 2005.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Unicode and non Unicode systems can co-exist in the same server, indeed. I have done it several times without any issues. Is it a fresh installation or a conversion? Make sure that you follow the SAP recommendations for additional CPU/RAM/disk space if you convert

Need OLAP Server Type 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0'

We have two Crystal Developer machines (CR2008 - SP1 installed on both). We need to connect to an OLAP datasource
One machine has these three Server Types available to select from:
   Hyperion Essbase (7.0,7.1)/IBM DB2 OLAP(8.2) Enhanced
   Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0
   Microsoft OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0
The other machine has the following as the only available Server Type:
   Hyperion Essbase (7.0,7.1)/IBM DB2 OLAP(8.2) Enhanced
We need access to the Microsoft Server Types for this machine as well.
The Data Access components installed (from CR2008 - SP1) on both
machines appear to be the same.
How do we get these installed so we can access them from Crystal?
Thank you

Do I need the SQL Client tools on my machine? I though I had read this on a website somewhere, but now am unable to locate it. Can someone please confirm if this is the issue why I am not seeing this server type? Thank you.

Instant Client 11.1.6.0.20 and Microsoft Ole DB for Oracle

Will these 2 components work together?
I have latest IC installed on a test PC running legacy Microsoft Data Access Components 2.81 SP1 and VB6. I've removed the full Oracle Client and deleted all Oracle registry entries prior to installing the IC, yet I cannot seem to make these work together.
Any suggestions? thanks.

Did you check if Instant Client 11.x include support for OLE DB apps?
I remember it as not possible with any 10.x release, but at least according to the ODAC / Odp.net Downloads page for Win 32-bit (see the README for Xcopy version), it seems as if the Oracle Provider for OLE DB now can be deployed with Instant Client, using the latest 11.1 ODAC package.
The Microsoft OLE DB data provider for Oracle was designed around Oracle 7.x and supported for use with v7/8 of Oracle client/net libraries. The component was desupported quite some time ago by Microsoft and Oracle both. (reference needed - lookup in MDAC support notes and Oracle support for OCI 7 calls in current versions.)
Please do not use ancient software components - doing so will bring hell to potential users, trying to integrate and support such apps.

Unable to insert and retrieve Unicode data using Microsoft OLE DB Provider

Hi,
I have an ASP.NET web application that uses OLEDB connection to Oracle database.
Database: Oracle 11g
Provider: MSDAORA
ConnectionString: "Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=localhost;User ID=system; Password=oracle;*convertNcharLiterals*=true;"
When I use SQL Develeoper client and add convertNcharLiterals=true; in sqldeveloper.conf then I am able to store and retrieve Unicode data.
The character sets are as follows:
Database character set is: WE8MSWIN1252
National Language character set: AL16UTF16
Select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS','NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET');
PARAMETER VALUE ---------------------------------------
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
I have a test table:
desc TestingUni
Name Null Type
UNI1 VARCHAR2(20)
UNI2 VARCHAR2(20)
UNI3 NVARCHAR2(20)
I execute the below mentioned query from a System.OleDb.OleDbCommand object.
Insert into TestingUni(UNI3 ) values(N'汉语漢語');
BUT when retrieving the same I get question marks (¿¿¿¿) instead of the Chinese characters (汉语漢語)
Is there any way to add the above property(convertNcharLiterals) when querying the Oracle database from OLEDB connection?
OR is there any other provider for Oracle which would help me solve my problem?
OR any other help regarding this?
Thanks

using OraOLEDB Provider.
set the environment variable ORA_NCHAR_LITERAL_REPLACE to TRUE. Doing so transparently replaces the n' internally and preserves the text literal for SQL processing.

SQL Server 2014 Express (32 bit) issues with Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro

Hello, I am trying to create a sample data warehouse and some reports etc to demonstrate SQL server and subsequent automation to a company I am working for. I am trying to import data from the company's VFP based software into a new SQL Server database.
(please note, this is not custom developed software, so i am unable to push the data from VPF)
I keep getting errors and SQL server crashes when i try to access the Microsofl OLE DB Provider for Visual Fox Pro similar to this thread https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/88296548-553e-4402-93e3-6f26f5de343d/dtswizard-importexport-utility-error-trying-to-use-vfp-oledb-provider?forum=sqldataaccess
however, the solution outlined in that thread will not work, as i cannot create an SSIS package in Express.
I have also attempted to use the OLE DB in Excel as well to test it, and it crashes Excel the same way.

No, I attempted to use the Microsofl OLE DB Provider for Visual Fox Pro to access the .dbf from Excel,
and it behaved identically to the way it did in SQL Server.
I can use the Microsoft Excel Data source in SQL Server to link an excel file to SQL Server perfectly fine.

Hi All,
This is regarding unicode project.
We have currently made all the programs unicode complaint
and the database we are using is not unicode database.
We are moving now the entire code to the Unicode database system.
1>Could anyone tell what kind of data errors that might be encountered due to this new database system.
2>What kind of data changes regarding the format/data we might observe in the output files generated.
Any expertise and experiences in the similar upgradation will be very helpful..
Thank you all in advance

Hi Kumar,
each code page encodes characters into a binary representation. ASCII is may be the best known. It encode 128 characters with seven bits. The first 32 characters are control characters for printers and terminals like carriage return and bell. Then there are some special characters like Space and Comma followed by digits and the characters of the roman alphabet in upper case and lower case representation. Unicode is another code page which is defined in unicode standard documentation. Because unicode characters are wider than one byte (the current standard contains almost 100.000 characters) there are different encoding used in applications. The most used encoding is probably UTF-8 which is used by DB2 and Oracle. MaxDB uses UTF-16 which uses much more space for most used characters. Languages use characters from a code page to build words. You may have multiple code pages in one system (MDMP) or a unicode system which supports all languages on a single code page.
I hope this help you to understand the difference between a code page and a language. May be you check out the links [http://www.asciitable.com|http://www.asciitable.com] and [http://unicode.org|http://unicode.org].
