Memory Leak with Oracle ODBC Driver for Long Raw columns

Oracle version : 8.1.7
Platform : Win2K
Oracle ODBC Driver version : 8.0.1.7.5.0.0
Hi,
I've got an Oracle database upgraded from
V8.0.5 to V8.1.7 which has a table having one long raw +
normal columns. I was able to observe distinct memory
leaks (approx 80K) when using ODBC interface calls (thro C++ code) that referenced a combination of normal & long raw columns in a select statement. However, this leak was not observed when only normal columns were present in the
select statement. Is there any known restriction for using
long raw columns with other columns? Or do long raw columns have a known memory leak problem thro ODBC?
Thanks!

Sanchayan

Did you ever get an answer on this issue?

Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb 2.10.11.00 on Windows 2008 64-bit

Hello,
Our application runs on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and connects to RDB databases on Alpha Open/VMS via Oracle ODBC Driver fro Rdb release 2.10.11.00.
We are migrating to Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment.
We tested both recent Rdb ODBC driver releases (3.3.0.0 and 3.3.1.0) but we are getting errors intermittently when the application loads data from certain tables. Trace logs show no errors which could indicate the origin of the issue.
We want to use the old (2.10.11.00) release but it cannot be installed only on the Win 2008 32-bit version.
Can anyone suggest how to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb release 2.10.11.00 on a Windows 2008 64-bit Server?
Thanks in advance,
Momir

How to install the Oracle ODBC driver for all NT users

I need to schedule a task on a SQL server running on NT to access an Oracle DB.
I have installed the Oracle ODBC driver on it and it is working well under my NT account.
But the SQL scheduler runs on another NT account and the task failed.
How is it possible to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for all NT users ???
Thanks for your inputs...

The above link is a comprehensive "How to get set up and on my way" that I made for someone else learning Oracle/jdbc. Kind of a self-help resource page. I would start from the beginning and download the newest drivers, then set up your environment,...etc.
hope this helped,

Specifying "ARRAYSIZE" in Oracle ODBC Driver for 7.3.4

Is it possible to specify the ARRAYSIZE parameter in the Oracle ODBC Driver for Oracle 7.3.4?
Other vendors provide this facility when creating the data source using ODBC administrator.
If anyone can clarify, it will be a great help.

Insert into CLOB fails with Oracle ODBC driver version 9.02.00.65

I tried to insert into CLOB using the latest Oracle ODBC driver 9.02.00.65 and it fails. But the same works with earlier versions of ODBC driver earlier to 9.02.00.65 ie., 9.02.00.63.

Hi,
Since 9.2 has been desupported for error correction you will not be able to download that version from OTN. You should ask whoever is providing the training if their is an alternate version you can use. The only versions that you will be able to download from oracle.com is 10.2 11.1, and 11.2.

Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb on WinME

The Oracle Universal Installer is not working properly when I try installing the new ODBC driver for Rdb (version 3.0.1.2). The Installer starts, but does not present the NAME field as it has for both Win95 and Win2K. In the destination PATH field is the pathname to the temporary folder I've unzipped the Installer/Driver to and when I change this to an existing folder, i.e., C:\ORAHOME, the Installer informs me that it cannot access the staging area and asks that I check the staging area and destination pathnames.
I have successfully installed the older version 2 driver on ME, but it uses the older installer software. Despite Oracle's claims to the contrary, this new Java-based Installer just doesn't work on ME.
If anyone can help with I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Oracle ODBC driver for Linux (C Language)

Dear Guys,
I am writing small code in C language which will connects Oracle to insert/delete and update data in oracle database. Despite of searching I don't find ODBC driver to connect to Oracle database in Linux platform through C language code. Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?
Thanks in advance

Despite of searching I don't find ODBC driver to connect to Oracle database in Linux platform through C language code. Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?Never seen an ODBC driver for Oracle on Linux. Perl uses its own abstraction interface. PHP uses its own abstraction interface. Ditto for Java. (keep in mind that ODBC is a Microsoft invention)
And the OCI is not that more complex to use than ODBC. In fact, OCI is a lot more powerful. And the Oracle® Call Interface Programmer's Guide has numerous source code examples you can essentially copy and paste and modify for your needs. See Appendix B. Demonstration Programs.
The resulting code is also a lot more portable - relying directly on an OCI client driver, instead of an ODBC driver that runs on top of an OCI driver.

Oracle ODBC-Driver for MS Access 2.0

Hi,
we're looking for a MS-Access 2.0-Oracle-ODBC-Driver. It's not a "normal" ODBC-Driver but a Driver provided in the past by Microsoft. Its a special DLL for MS-Access 2.0, not for the Operating System.
any ideas or maybe a link?
Thanks a lot!

Since XE is 10gR2 these drivers should work, did you try? -> http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odbc/index.html

Memory leak using Oracle ODBC connection. Works perfect with MSSQL.

Hello,
what could cause memory leaks which is not persistent. Sometimes in different OS and sometimes in different hardware. the common player to my issue is only with oracle.

A memory leak that is not persistent is not a memory leak.
You'll have to be way more specific for a more meaningful answer.
Have you tried memory profiling tools for your operating system to locate the "leak"?

Memory leak using Oracle thin driver on wls6.1...

Hi, I've been attempting to find a memory leak in an application that
runs on WLS 6.1 SP2, on Solaris 8 and accessing an Oracle 9i db. We
are using the Type 4 (Thin) driver and JProbe reports that hundreds of
oracle.jdbc.* objects are left on the heap after my test case
completes. Specifically oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTCItem is the most common
loiterer on the heap. I have verified that after each database access
the resources are release correctly (i.e. ResultSet, Connection,
PreparedStatement, etc.)
Has anyone encountered similar problems? or does anyone know how to
fix this?
Thanks,
Tim Watson

Hi Tim!
We have seen problem using oracle 817 client that has been resolved using
901 client for type2(oci) driver, But i am not aware of thin driver
problem. You should check with oracle if they have find any customer's
with this problem.
Thanks,

Problem with Oracle ODBC Driver on Windows 7

Hi,
Please help with this problem I have with a Windows 7 machine. I have installed Oracle Client 11g on my Windows 7 machine but when I want to create an ODBC Data Source, I cant find any driver for oracle. How can I resolve this issue? I need the data source for an application to work and I cant figure out what is happening. Someone please help!

There's a dedicated Oracle ODBC forum:

As this forum deals with connections from Oracle to foreign data stores it would be better to close this thread and post it again in the ODBC forum.

Memory leakage with oracle oci driver

I have developed a Solaris8 client/server application using the JAVA IDL CORBA implementation. The client sends requests to the server to update the database (database is Oracle 8.1.7 and I connect to it using oci oracle drivers). Requests are sent one at a time. No concurrent connections. I have a static connection that I establish with database once I start the server. If that connection is lost for any reason (timeout or database faliure) the application tries automatically to reconnect to database. I have noticed that if the new connection to database fails and an sql exception is thrown, memory used by the application process increases. This memory is not garbage collected so application hangs. I tried similar behaviour with the oracle thin driver and things went fine. There was no memory leakage.
I would really appreciate, if you can help me in this since I can't use the thin driver because of failover limitations.

I have noticed
that if the new connection to database fails and an
sql exception is thrown, memory used by the
application process increases.
How have you noticed this?I noticed this using the command pmap under solaris it operating system
every time I test reconnecting to database I go and check the memory used by the application before after attepmting to reconnect:
/usr/proc/bin/pmap [myapp pid] | tail -1
If I'm using normal connection then the memory will be increased by 100KB. If I'm using the OraclePooledConnection class then the increase will be something like 500KB. Again this is if still there is a problem connecting to database. If connection to database is okay then no memory increase at all.
This memory is not
garbage collected so application hangs.
Then it isn't a java problem. When java runs out of memory it throws a out of memory exception.Well I'm not saying it is a java problem for sure. I suspect that it might be oracle oci8 driver problem. I would appreciate if anyone can help in specifying teh source of the error.
I tried
similar behaviour with the oracle thin driver and
things went fine. There was no memory leakage.
I would really appreciate, if you can help me in this
since I can't use the thin driver because of failover
limitations.
I don't understand that last sentence at all.What I mean here is that instead of using the oci8 driver to connect to database I used the thin driver and kept everything else the same. I simulated the faliure to reconnect to database and based on the pmap command observations there was no memory leakage.
I want to know what is needed to be done in order to get a normal behavior once using the oci8 drivers.

ORA-01013 with Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.6.3

I have a very strange problem occuring with the latest Oracle 8.1.6 Driver. I am able to set up the ODBC connection and it tests correctly. I'll open an Access 97 database and attempt to link to a table in an Oracle 8.1.6 through ODBC. I can connect to the database fine and it brings back a list of the available tables. However, when I select a table and attempt to link to it, I get the following error:
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation.
This behavior also occurs if I try this operation through VB 6.0 code.
Has anyone seen this before or better yet, have an answer as to why it is occurring?
P.S., I'm using MDAC 2.51

As an update, when I turn tracing on, here is the section of the log file that contains the error.
