Jdbc thin driver - nls parameters

Hi,
Does anyone have the experience on how the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver decide its NLS session related parameters? It looks to us that it will have its own settings which override the instance-level settings? If we want to set some specific settings (for example, NLS_DATE_FORMAT), is there any way besides setting them up via "alter session"?
Best Regards
A.C.

Did you try the ALTER SESSION command ? For example , you just need to execute 2 SQL statements at the beginning of each SQL sessions to establish the correct locale environment ..
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = french;
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY = france;

  • Bug in Oracle JDBC thin driver (parameter order)

    [ I'd preferably send this to some Oracle support email but I
    can't find any on both www.oracle.com and www.technet.com. ]
    The following program illustrates bug I found in JDBC Oracle thin
    driver.
    * Synopsis:
    The parameters of prepared statement (I tested SELECT's and
    UPDATE's) are bound in the reverse order.
    If one do:
    PreparedStatement p = connection.prepareStatement(
    "SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = ? and second = ?");
    and then bind parameter 1 to "a" and parameter to "b":
    p.setString(1, "a");
    p.setString(2, "b");
    then executing p yields the same results as executing
    SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "b" and second = "a"
    although it should be equivalent to
    SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "a" and second = "b"
    The bug is present only in "thin" Oracle JDBC driver. Changing
    driver to "oci8" solves the problem.
    * Version and platform info:
    I detected the bug using Oracle 8.0.5 server for Linux.
    According to $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/README.doc that is
    Oracle JDBC Drivers release 8.0.5.0.0 (Production Release)
    * The program below:
    The program below illustrates the bug by creating dummy two
    column table, inserting the row into it and then selecting
    the contents using prepared statement. Those operations
    are performed on both good (oci8) and bad (thin) connections,
    the results can be compared.
    You may need to change SID, listener port and account data
    in getConnecton calls.
    Sample program output:
    $ javac ShowBug.java; java ShowBug
    Output for both connections should be the same
    --------------- thin Driver ---------------
    [ Non parametrized query: ]
    aaa

  • SSL connection with JDBC thin driver

    I am attempting to connect to an instance of Oracle 10.2 using the JDBC thin driver with SSL. I want to use the encryption feature of SSL only, but I can not perform the getConnection on the DataSource without running into an exception. According the JDBC docs, the SSL encryption feature is new for the 10.2 release of the JDBC thin driver, but I have seen no working examples. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/overvw.htm#CHDIHFBD
    I am using ojdbc14.jar on Java 5.0 using a standalone application, and it fails with an IOException (The network adapter could not establish the connection) (Error code 17002). I even enabled tracing using the ojdbc-g.jar to try to figure out what the REAL problem is, but it was not helpful at determining a root cause. I changed the driver type from "thin" to "oci" (and installed Oracle Instant client for my test machine) and the connection works just fine using the same tnsnames file, the same wallet, and the same cipher suite. From the Java perspective the only thing that changed was four characters -> "thin" became "oci". I am still using password based authentication as I understand that the authentication part of SSL is not supported in the thin driver on 10.2
    Can anyone verify that the SSL encryption works with JDBC thin as advertised? (not the Oracle Net encryption, but rather the one described in Chapter 11 of the JDBC Developer's Guide. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/sslthin.htm#CHDFEICG
    I really would prefer to avoid using the OCI driver because of its dependencies on the native platform. Is there something special with how the users are created or how the JDBC API should be used? I am setting what I think to be appropriate parameters (oracle.net.wallet_location, oracle.net.cipher_suites) all to no avail. Does anyone have a working example they can provide?

    1) I would suggest posting this question over in the JDBC forum. The folks over there are far more likely to be able to help you.
    2) When you do post this question over there, I would strongly suggest posting some sample code/ configuration scripts so that folks can reproduce your problem on their local machines. That tends to make it far easier to debug the problem and/or to notice if you've missed a step.

  • Error Code Definition for JDBC Thin driver

    Hi,
    thin client session Language is controlled by java Locale.
    Based on testing code, ORA- messages are localized after the connection is successfully established. ORA- messages returned in the middle of connecting are in instance language.
    So, as far as I can say, you need to catch exceptions from DriverManager.getConnection(url, info); and translate them on your own.
    Once the connection is successfully returned, ORA- message language is defined by java Locale.
    Tests were performed on Oracle 10gR2 (both thin driver and DB).

  • Jdbc oracle jdbc-thin driver subname

    I am working on Windows 2000 environment, using oracle8i 8.1.7 JDBC-Thin driver for use with JDK 1.2.x. The oralce8i 8.1.7 database is on another linux box. I can access the linux box through its ip address, but not by its hostname since it's not accessiable by the dns server. In my code, in the JDBCUrl, I used ip address instead of the hostname, e.g. "jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.113.108:1521:ora1". But I got the error like: "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection". If I add a entry in my working machine's hosts file to map the hostname, I can fix the problem. But I don't know if this is the solution, or there is other better solutions.
    Thanks
    null

    Using a hosts file entry is a common solution for problem where the dns lookup does not contain an entry for a RDBMS server platform.
    The real solution is to resolve this issue :
    "where the dns lookup does not contain an entry for a RDBMS server platform."

  • Oracle JDBC thin driver question

    Does anyone know if there is a JDBC thin driver available for Oracle that supports "HTTP tunneling" of the SQLNET wire protocol?
    Such a driver would package the SQL*NET data stream into HTTP or HTTPS packets and connects to a Servlet proxy on the Web host that unpacks the data and forwards the SQL*NET stream to the Oracle RDBMS and returns the response the same way.
    This would help me overcome some firewall issues I'm seeing since HTTP/HTTPS ports are usually opened through a firewall. I know Sybase has a JDBC dirver that does this for their TNS protocol and was hoping some company has developed this for Oracle.
    Thanks in advance...

    The easiest thing to do is download it as an archive with your applet.
    Otherwise, you have to have the files on every client machine.
    For netscape, put the classes111.jar in the java classes folder typically:
    c:\ProgramFiles\Netscape\Communicator\Program\java\classes.
    I'd expect that IE would be setup in a similar way.

  • Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4

    Hi,
    It would be nice if someone please guide me to the download of Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4.
    Thanks in anticipation

    user566773,
    As far as I know, all Oracle JDBC drivers are meant to be backward compatible.
    According to the table on the following Web page, the latest Oracle JDBC driver can be used with Oracle 9.2.0.x DBMS.

  • JDBC Thin Driver 8.17 Release 2

  • Oracle JDBC Thin Driver and Firewall Problem

    Hi!
    We have Oracle 8.1.5 and Websphere App Server. There is a
    firewall between the two. A servlet creates a connection pool
    (not that of Wesphere's). The frontend is JSP/HTML (no applets).
    The servlet uses the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for DB Connections.
    The problem is - Once the connection is freed, the connection
    pool is not being able to retrieve it and hence it created
    another one, thus reaching the max. # of connections and the
    system hangs. Restarting the DB service flushes the connection
    and the application starts running again...
    There was a similar problem discussed in this forums long ago. I
    have not yet tried mentioning the firwall port and IP in the
    connection string. But apart from that, is there any other
    setting I need to do (on firewall or for the connectionstring)
    to deal with this problem?
    Someone had suggested to punch a hole in the firewall for the DB
    port - but we can not really do that in the current scenario...
    I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience
    regarding how they resolved this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vijaya.

    One more question -
    Can we use Oracle JDBC OCI driver? We do not have any appletes...
    Does it have firewall issues too? Is there any other driver that
    we can use?
    Thanks,
    Vijaya.
