JDev TP4 - Test Database Connection without password

Hi,
I create a new database connection for an application,
if I specify that password is not saved and press Test Connection button with an empty password, the "connection information" dialog for username and password is displayed behind the "connecting" dialog. It is not possible to switch to "connection information" dialog.
Although there is a Cancel button on the "connecting" dialog, it is also not possible to press it. To close JDeveloper, it is killed from Task Manager.
If Save Password on the create database connection is checked and an empty password is given pressing Test Connection button, "Test failed: Password cannot be null or empty" error message is given.
Without testing the connection, I can save the connection in both situations.
regards,
Bahar

Bahar,
indeed this is annoying ;-( I checked with a later build and the bug is fixed meanwhile.

Database connectivity without using Class.forName()

Hi,
Can anyone please tell how we can connect to a database without in java without using the Class.forName() method , and then how the database driver gets loaded.
Regards,
Tanmoy

Hi,
I recently wrote code that connects to a database without using Class.forName() in order to be compatible with Microsoft's JVM. I read about it here:
http://www.idssoftware.com/faq-e.html#E1
Basically, you create a new Driver object and use its connect method.
Here's what my particular code ended up being:
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?user=root&password=mypass";
Driver drv = new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver();
Connection con = drv.connect(url,null);

Jdev 10g Preview Database Connection Error

HI,
I'm trying to create a database connection in Jdev 10.1.3.0.2 .
When i press "Test Connection" i receive the following error.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
I used previous versions or JDev and never had this problem.
Thank You. JP.

I'm using the Jdev 10.1.3 default installation.
I didn't change anything.
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production (AIX)
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
This is the jdev.conf file. I don't know what is wrong.
I tried deleting the lines where is "AddVMOption -Doracle.translated.locales=ja ", but i receive the same error.
Thank you. JP.

Database connection without username

Hello,
Using JDeveloper Database connection wizard, can we create
a connection to the database without using user name and
password? That is, I need to login with a "/".
Murali

The thick drivers need a client side install of SQL*Net and the relevant oracle /bin directory containing that the ocijdbc9.dll will need to be in your library path.
So the question is - do you want OPS$ functionality enought to do a client side SQL*Net install on each machine?

Database Connection loosing password

Hi there,
have HFR documents with a connection to Essbase 9.3
Problem is the database connection seems to loose the password everytime I log off.
After relogin the connection fails and I have to reenter the password.
When I reenter the password for the connection it works perfect and is retrieving the data from essbase into the report.
Also tried the approch to rebuild the connection but did not help.
In essbase the authentification type is external in an AD.
The essbase application is NOT registered in Shared Service.
Is this the reason? From where is the Userid/password gets passed through?
Thanks,
Bernd

Creating database connection without administrator

I need to create a new database connection for coldfusion mx
7 on winblows 2003 but coldfusion administrator is broken. Is there
any way to create a new JDBC connection without it? Perhaps some
registry or ini file editing? How about for ODBC?

You can code a template to create a datasource using the
adminAPI. The examples do just that. View the MSSQL example on this
page,
Administrator
API.
However, you might just want to fix you CFAdmin. Got to a
working CFMX7 server of the same version. Zip up all of CFIDE
(usually under wwwroot of cfusion or your docroot). Delete the
'broken' one on your server. Unzip the CFIDE zip to replace.

Why is the data source not getting database connection without exception?

experts,
I am trying to config server.xml to get database connection. i am now getting no exception duing the connection, but the returned connection is NULL, why? thanks/ this is my codes:
public synchronized Connection getConnection()
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if (ctx == null)
throw new Exception("Context is null");
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("test");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
}catch(Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
return conn;
}

Remove the first slash after "java:".
Context envContext =(Context)initContext.lookup("java:comp/env");

Can I use OCI driver to test database connection in JDeveloper9.0.3

When using JDeveloper 3.2.3, I can use oci8 driver to test the databse connection.
Then I want oci8 driver work in JDeveloper9.0.2 or JDeveloper 9.0.3. However, it cannot work.
(Note: but thin driver works fine)
First, I read the help file and setup ORACLE_HOME environment variable and install
OCI client driver ocijdbc9.dll on my compuetr. Then some exception is happening when I test again.
So I want to know, does anyone succeed in testing the connection via oci driver
and how to fix this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Hi !
You MUST use jdbc library supplied with Oracle client ( so classes12.zip from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib ), not with JDeveloper - this one might be incopatible with oci native libraries.
I hope , this helps.

Restricting SYS connection without password

Normally, if we want to connect to the SYS user of an oracle database from the server side we can connect it without giving a password and like this:
cmd> sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba;
This will connect the database as SYS user. Also from the client side or even from the server side connecting to SYS user can be done like :
cmd> sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn sys@db_name as sysdba;
This connection will prompt password of SYS user.
Now my requirement is that wherever any one wants to connect to the database as SYSDBA/SYSOPER privileged user s/he must have to input the password that means s/he can't connect to the database using: CONN / AS SYSDBA but can connect using like CONN SYS@DB_NAME AS SYSDBA which will require password to authenticate.
So is there any way to restrict the SYS user connection from server side using CONN / AS SYSDBA.
--Bazlur

@ emre baransel: Thanks for the solution!. This solution I have used in previous time also. It disables the OS authentication through SQL> conn / as sysdba. Changing to the SQLNET.ora file with SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE) disable the OS authentication.
But the situation is that the SYSADMIN who will have the root user password can easily the SQLNET.ora file and can change this file causing again the OS authentication enabled.
If we are the owner of both the products and system ourselves and we are running the system ourselves then we might make faith with our employees who are SYSADMIN and DBA.
But we are the vendor and we are implementing our solution to the customer side where the owner of the platform is customer but as a vendor we have to restrict access to database from the customer. That means, customer will have access to platform as a system admin but we have to protect accessing to our database which is installed there.
@ asifkabirdba: Thanks for the reference but I need the above solution.

Database connection without driver? pl. help

Hello there
is it possible connecting databases without having jdbc or jdbc-odbc driver? anybody has any idea or thought?
mortoza

Use JNI. This requires that an native interface to the database exists (what a jdbc driver would use.)
Use RunTime.exec(). Although that would not really be a 'connection'. This requires that command line tools exist for OS that can provide whatever functionality you need.
Use a socket. This requires that the database provides some sort of socket interface, and that you can get the documentation for it, and then can write the code to use it. For example Oracle and MS SQL Server both have a socket interface. I am not sure if Oracle provides docs and the MS SQL Server interface is probably documented only in fragmented terms (there is probably more than one.)

B1iSN 9.0 Installation Failed. Database connection Failed: Password Validation failed

Hello All:
Installing a new copy of B1iSN 9.0 PL05. And having this problem that I can't seem to find any mentioning.
SQL connection parameter validate the password ok and this is almost immediately after I press install at the final step. When it give you the summary before installation happens.
A bit of background this is on a server where system requires very long and complex password. The password that I use to log on to the window environment is 17 characters long. But I have tried to use the long password for both B1iadmin default password as well as creating a SQL user with long password. Nothing seem to work.
Any direction would be greatly appreciate it!

Hello Bo Peng,
I had in 8.82 a bug with the password and somes special characters ('@').
Try to use only a-z, A-Z and numbers.
You should create a support message for this.

I can't get a database connection.

Background: I've already built two sites with databases using DW CS6, PHPMySQL, and the same hosting company, so I know they allow remote connections. (I'm developing using the remote host because I've never found a tutorial for how to move it all from local XAMPP to my host - but hey, it's been working fine so far.)
I set up the database using CPanel Databases, added the user and password, no problem. Went into PHP MySQL and added a table, logged out and back in, the table is there as defined.
In DW, I double-checked the testing server, tested the connection, and it connected successfully.
Then I opened a page for editing and added a database connection (all as I had done on the previous two sites that work fine). I named the connection, entered the user, the password and tried to SELECT a database. No luck. HTTP Error 404. I manually added the database (the only one) and clicked test. Again no luck. HPPT Error 404.
I double checked the testing server, double checked the DB information, and nothing seems to work.
Any clue what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much if you can help.

UPDATE:
Okay, this is really getting weird. As a typcial computer nerd, I know there are many roads to success, so if one doesn't work, try another.
Trying a different solution, I opened a test.php page and wrote the following code:
<?php
echo "<p>Now testing database connection.</p>\n";
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_username = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$db_password = "***(redacted)***";
$link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_username, $db_password);
if (!$link) {
    echo "Could NOT connect.<br />\n";
}else{
    echo "Connected Successfully.<br />\n";
    mysql_close($link);
I loaded the page to the server and guess what? I got the message "Connected Successfully."
Hooray! Now I know the database server is running, and the database and user name and password are valid.
I went to the DW MbrConnect01.php file (the name of the CONNECTION file that Dreamweaver creates when I tried to make the connection through DW), and verified the database name, user name, and password were correct -- I copied and pasted them from the code above to make absolutely certain there were no transcription errors. Here's that file:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_MbrConnec01 = "localhost";
$database_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_members";
$username_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$password_MbrConnec01 = "***(redacted)***";
$MbrConnec01 = mysql_pconnect($hostname_MbrConnec01, $username_MbrConnec01, $password_MbrConnec01) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
And guess what?
I GOT THE STINKING ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN!!
(See previous post for the full text of the message.
Yes, I checked the server using an FTP browser for the presence of the required files, and they are there.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I would absolutely love to use DW's DB automation tools, but none of them will work if I can't get a DW connection to work.
I notice that my code uses mysql_connect while the DW-generated code uses mysql_pconnect (which is deprecated), could that be the culprit? How do I fix it if so?
PLEASE, can someone help?
