Microsoft ODBC for Oracle / Microsoft Server 2008 r2

We are testing the operational system Windows Server 2008 r2 in one of our clients. This system does not accept the installation of the tool Microsoft ODBC for Oracle. We’d like to know how to install this Driver, once Microsoft’s webpage does not mention any help related to this issue (there is instruction only for the installation of MDAC). We’ve consulted discussion forums and all types of ocurrence on the Internet, but we started to think it’s a Bug of the version. Can you inform us what’s the solution for the problem?
We are looking forward to your answer.

We have new webservers (Microsoft Server 2008 r2 64bit) that will need to connect to a variety of Oracle databases.
Our DBAs have provided:
10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client
We have installed it, but, notice that the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver is not listed.
It would be better for us to use the Oracle client, but, we do need to connect to Ticket Machines that are based on a Oracle v 8 database. (So, basically, if we use a 10g client trying to connect to a oracle 8 database, it will display the error: ORA-03134 Connections to this server version are no longer supported.)
It is not possible for us to upgrade the Oracle 8 database to current, so, we have to use the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver.
So, basically, we have a Oracle 8 database that we can not presently connect. (those machines are feeling abandoned)
Ideas? ThanksIf you insist on using the MS driver, you'll have to get that from MS. Why would you have expected it to come with an Oracle installation?
And to get the Oracle driver, you have to do a 'custom' installation and select the Windows components, as it is not installed with a default installation.
And all that aside from the very serious version compatibility issues.

Error using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver

I am trying to connect to Oracle 10g Express Edition from Access 2003 on Windows XP. I created a DSN using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver. When I try to connect using ADO, I get this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
I googled this error and got a lot of hits but no solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to Oracle and am coming from SQL Server 2000.
Thanks a lot!

This is the connection string I am using:
Conn1.ConnectionString = "driver={Oracle in XE};Dbq=GMIS_LIVE.WORLD;Uid=Administrator;Pwd=ubs;"
These are the contents of my tnsnames.ora (what entries do I add to make this work)?
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = your-a9279112e3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =

Character Set problem when using Microsoft Microsoft ODBC for Oracle

Hi, all
I am using:
OS: Windows 7 x64 (client and server)
DB: Oracle 11g
ODAC: v. 11.2.0.3.20 32-bit
Connection string: "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.221)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=geopoisk)));User Id=uid;Password=pwd;"
DB NLS_CHARACTERSET: CL8MSWIN1251
DB NLS_LANGUAGE: AMERICAN
DB NLS_TERRITORY: AMERICA
Client NLS_LANG: UKRAINIAN_UKRAINE.CL8MSWIN1251
When I am trying to access the server through ADO the character set of the values becomes corrupted or wrong. The value should be "Месторождение", but shows "?????????????" instead. When I am trying to connect through Visual Studio 2005 and Oracle client the results of the queries are shown in the right way.

Thanks for the answer. Can you please show me, how would the connection string would look like if I`ll replace my Microsoft ODBC with Oracle one? Thanks alot.

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11g client 64Bit edition on a Windows 7 Professional 64Bit OS. Trying to connect to Oracle DB through ODBC Driver I get the following Message:
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle:
"The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components ar supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation....".
Any ideas how to resolve that problem?

Hello,
Please verify the ORACLE_HOME directory is listed on the PATH system variable of Windows 7. Please open the Command Prompt
and examine the result of the command PATH.
Hope this helps.

Ref_cursor -procedure does not work for Microsoft ODBC for oracle driver

Hi,
I have a stored procedure to retreive record set values from db.
so i used PL/SQL table type. that is
type tt1 is table of ........
but if i replaced the table type with ref_cursor i get an ODBC error :
"ODBC driver does not support the requested properties.--2147217887".
The problem is i get a connection string from other module and i cannot change the connection string.
So is there a way to get it working the ref_cursor using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver.
Thanks

Babu,
Not sure, a quick Google indicates it should work (given you're using the correct syntax of course :-) )
Have you tried the Oracle ODBC driver? Are you using the latest version(s)?
Of course you're likely to have much more luck if you post this question in the ODBC forum :-)

Problem with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver

I tried to import table in MS Access with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver, but a msg error appeared:
"Reserved error (-7776); there is no message for this error"
I think the problem is about Microsoft Jet, but i'm not sure.
Does anybody already had this problem?

Given that you're using a Microsoft front-end and a Microsoft ODBC driver, I'm not sure how much help you'll find on this forum. You could try substituting the Oracle ODBC driver to see if that improves anything.

What is the newest version of Microsoft odbc for oracle

We are trying to integrate UPS Worldship with Oracle 10g. Everything worked fine when the system was on 9i. The writeback after every shipment takes about 30 seconds. I want to make sure we are on the latest version. Our current version is 2.575.1117.00. Thanks, John

Microsoft hasn't been updating their ODBC driver for Oracle in quite some time, so I would generally suggest not using it. My recollection is that Oracle 10g finally got rid of the old OCI7 array fetch functionality that had been depricated since 8i when the new OCI interface came out. This caused performance issues for any applications that hadn't been updated to use the OCI8 interface. Unfortunately for you, the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle was one of the legacy applications that had never been updated, so performance went south rather significantly.
I would strongly suggest using the Oracle ODBC driver instead.

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

ODBC for Oracle 8.1.6 EE

Do u know where I can get a driver: "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" (Oracle 8.1.6 EE)???

Last I heard, the Oracle client wasn't certified on Windows ME. There are folks who have posted to the Oracle newsgroups with registry hacks to work around the problem if you're interested in going down that path.

Msdaora.1 microsoft provider for oracle

I have on my PC Personal Oracle 8.1.6 on Win2000 Pro with SP2.
On my apllication in Visual Basic 6.0 i make an ADO connection using Microsoft Provider for Oracle but the connection Fail.
If i use Oracle provider for OLEDB is Ok!.
My application must use MSDAORA.1, why it not work correctly???
Anyone can help me????
All software oracle work correctly, SQL Plus, ODBC Test, Schema Manager, etc.
bye

In the first case, maybe I'm missing something, but what is "the above error" thrown by the Oracle driver?
in the second case, are you saying that the third column of the resultset is NULL? That there is no third column? Or something else?

Enterprise Hotfix Rollup for Win7 and Server 2008 R2 via WSUS

I stumbled across the fact that Microsoft released a hotfix rollup for Win7 and Server 2008 R2 that contains 90 hotfixes
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us
The articled I linked above talks about after installing 2775511 (the big hotfix rollup containing 90 hotfixes) it is also necessary to install three more hotfixes:
After this update is installed, you must install update 2732673 to fix a regression issue in the Rdbss.sys file
After this update is installed, you must install update 2728738 to fix a regression issue in the Profsvc.dll file
After this update is installed, you must install update 2878378 re-released on November 11, 2013 to fix a regression issue in the Advapi32.dll file
I have imported all four of these hotfixes into my WSUS server. Do I need to install 277551 first and then install the other three or can all four be approved and go out at once? I guess I am hung up on the language of "After this update is installed
.... ". I want to put all 4 of these on our Win7 machines as well as my 40+ WinServer 2008 R2 machines

I read somewhere that over half of the updates included in Win7 SP1 and WinServer 2008 R2 SP1 were originally released as hotfixes. This means Microsoft made the decision that a large number of hotfixes would benefit every user of these two OSs
I think your conclusion is flawed. The only thing that you can draw from the presented statistic, is that Microsoft determined that a significant percentage of updates originally released as hotfixes warranted the additional investment in regression testing
to subsequently release those hotfixes as updates.
The fact that they bundled these 90 hotfixes together leads me to the same conclusion.
In fact, exactly the opposite conclusion applies: What you have in this package is all the rest of the stuff that didn't make that cut. What you have in this package are still NOT-regression tested hotfixes, they've just been bundled up for easy deployment
(and note that three of them got further broken in the process of bundling), causing yet three more hotfixes to have to be released.
In fact I read the MS Team Blog about this big hotfix release and they say the same thing, all users of these OSs would benefit from the installation of this hotfix rollup, not just a subset of users.
I suspect there are a notable number of patch administrators and systems administrators who would disagree with that self-serving promotion. If, in fact, it's true that "all users" would benefit, then the product team should have invested the effort in properly
regression testing those hotfixes, and releasing them as REAL updates. They did not; ergo the *actual* value is less than claimed.
Of course the bugaboo here is the fact that three other individual hotfixes need to be installed after the big hotfix rollup is installed.
Exactly! (And those are just the attempted fixes that broke something. Who knows how many other "fixes" may still result in newly discovered "broken stuff" that was never broken in the first place.)
The second part of this question should revolve around an itemized review of the hotfixes contained in this rollup with one simple question asked for each:
Have we actually *experienced* the issue addressed by this hotfix.
Where hotfixes are concerned one very simple but important rule applies:
If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it!

How to install and where to get kernal source for Oracle VM Server

Hi guys
Can someone point me in the right direction for oracle VM Server kernal source, as the server I am using won't ping, and found its cause it doesnt recognise the network adapter, says there is no drivers.
But the HP website states I have to have the kernal source install so that I can build the driver.
Any suggestions or help on the matter?
Thanks

Thanks
I got my server to ping.
Now I have ran into more trouble.
I have been following ORacles installation guide for installing a Virtual Machine, but am struggling to install it, as their instructions don't match whats on the screen.
They tell you to copy each CD into a directory.....
and then mount that directory as an NFS mount.
I done all that
and then it tells u to do virt-install
So I do that, and it all works great, until the end part, its mean to ask you what is your installation souce directory , and your supposed to put nfs:selfhostname_ip_address:/path/to/files
and away you go.
However my server says " what would you like to use as your virtual CD image"
and so I type nfs:server_ip_address:/path/to/files etc, and I get the error CD MUST EXIST
so to get around this, I just typed /OVS/iso_pool/Disc1.img
and away we go, instlalation starts....
However THe instlalation then asks for disc 2, and then I get stuck, how do I tell it, that I changed the disc, and its ready?
I tried an installation of mounting the disc1 iso from a cd to /mnt
and then wen it wanted disc 2 I dont umount -l /mnt ...it said inodes busy, so I just forced the eject CD physically ont he drive
and then mount /dev/cdrom /mnt , for disc3
but it didn't detect I changed a cd.
Can anyone help me, its really urgent have to get this server up and running by today if possible.

How to get account expiry date for Oracle Directory Server?

I need to get the account expiry date for Oracle Directory server. Which attribute stores this value? Please let me also know the attribute type and how to fetch it.
Thanks,
Subrat

Hello,
Yes you can use nsAccountLock directly (When nsAccountLock=true, the object is inactivated and the user cannot log in)
This is documented in Modifying Directory Server’s NsAccountLockAttribute Directly (Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 In… (release number is old but it does not matter, Thats the first one Ive found)
You can also use dsutil account-inactivate as described in dsutil - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
