MS Access and ODBC

I have an application written in MS ACCESS 97. But since I have
learned (or just beginning to learn) Oracle 8, I would like to
migrate to Oracle 8 but may take some time. Do you know how
could i connect my MS Access program to an Oracle Database.
Please give me the steps.
Thanks!

You need to create an ODBC data source to your Oracle 8 database,
and test it. Then in Access, use the get external data option
under the file menu. Select ODBC data sources, and pick the data
source you created in step 1. After you login, you should see
all the tables in your Oracle schema. You should use Oracle to
create the tables in Oracle, access will do it, but it will allow
lower case and spaces, and Oracle doesn't like that.

MS Access and ODBC 80510 driver

When I import tables into my Access database the queries work fine however when I link to the tables using Oracle
ODBC 80510 driver the following selection criteria command does not work. [Forms]![Get Jobs By contact No form]![Combo2], if I use a literal value like "abc" it works. It appears that Oracle running the server does not understand the command, therefore no records are selected.
Can any one help?
Thanks, John

Getting sqlplus and odbc connection to work

I'm looking to automate some data extraction activities either through a windows batch file or set up a data connection in an excel spreadsheet. I've installed (I think) the instant client, but, I'm not seeing any programs to run in my start>All Programs list except Microsoft ODBC Administrator and sqlplus does not work when typed at the command prompt (sqlplusw neither).
Not sure what I should do next...thanks for looking and your help.
I currently use sql server and access and have set odbc connections and connections to sql server in excel.

MS ACcess and Oracle CLOBs

I am trying to transfer data into an Oracle Database from Access. The table I'm aiming at is a CLOB, and Access/Windows ODBC are complaining about the sql data type being out of range. Experimenting with removing fields from my script I have narrowed it down to the CLOB filed. I have tried google searches and found several answers to the error but none that has anything to do with CLOBs
The table is set up as a linked table and the file dsn looks like this
I'm using DRIVER=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle in my data source and the Access field I was migrating out of is set as "Memo", but again I've tried experimental loads with more restrictive datatypes and different drivers and not had any joy.
I all else fails I can dump the whole lot to an excel file and load it through sql developer but for various reasons I would rather go through the access route if at all possible. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Remember that Microsofts ODBC driver for Oracle was designed with Oracle7 in mind. So possibly clob is not supported. (Also driver was deprecated long, long time ago by MS.)

Linking Access tables, creating a query with using both Access and Oracle

Hello,
I am using 3.0.04.34 version Oracle Developer. I am supposed to create a script/procedure to use both Access tables and oracle tables together. There is an option in developer to copy the access tables into oracle. But it doesn't help me. Because when we updated the access tables
the copied ones are not be updated. How can I created a linked access tables to oracle and create a query with using both access and oracle table together.
I will appreciate if you guys help me. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Thanks,
Pinar

Pinar,
to be able to query MS Access tables in Oracle you need an additional product, the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. It allows you to link any foreign database into an Oracle database using a suitable ODBC driver. You can then access the MS Access tables through a database link based on the Database Gateway for ODBC. This will also allow you to join local Oracle and remote MS Access tables from your Oracle database.
There's a note on My Oracle Support which gives you more details:Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
And there's also a dedicated Forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity

Databases....ActiveX, Access, SQL, ODBC, DAO what it all means!?

So I know I need a database in the software I'm developing, but it seems like there are so many ways to implement it, that I don't know what to choose, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the concepts of how each works. I have been trying to read as much as I can, but I'd like to get a handle on the different ways to implement the databases before I delve in to one particular method.
I'm using windows XP for this, so some of what I mention below is only related to windows.
From my understanding now(correct me if I'm wrong)...
1. I can use ActiveX to control MS Access Application to create a database, add/delete from the database, generate reports etc..etc...
2. I can use a Data Access Object(DAO) to open a reference to a database to create and edit the database using SQL commands, which requires that I use Open Database Connectivity(ODBC) and define a Data Source Name(DSN) with the ODBC Data Source Administrator...
3. I can use the Database Connectivity Toolkit, which can use either SQL or ActiveX Data Objects(ADO) or some other connection I don't know about?...
So I guess what I'm wondering is if there are advantages/disadvantages to each of these implementations?
For example, will using the first option with ActiveX add overhead vs. the other options since its going out to query MSAccess? By using the ActiveX commands is it always loading the Access Application?
Are there any pitfalls with using ODBC Data Source Administrator in windows? If I'm deploying to a number of system, will I need to setup the DSN on every system, or is this something I can do programmatically?
How does the Database Connectivity Toolkit compare to using ActiveX directly, or using a DAO and SQL? is the toolkit just a wrapper for these operations?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonathan
Using LabView 8.5
LV 8.2/8.5/8.6 - WinXP

Malkier,
A lot of questions there...I am no expert on databases, but hopefully I can provide a few snippets of knowledge...
LabVIEW Database Connectivy Toolkit uses ADO(Activex Data Objects), which is obviosuly based on ActiveX commands. I suppose you could almost refer to the toolkit as a wrapper, however the individual activex commands would take a lot of work. In addition, they do not go through Microsoft Access and are easier to work with SQL, which is free(as opposed to Access). You still need to set up your DSN in OBDC Data Source Administrator, however.
If you use file DSN, you set up one file, then distribute this file to all the computer you want to access. You do not need to 'set it up' for each machine.
For speed, NI recommends using the Native OLE DB server rather than a generic ODBC server.
For more information, I would recommend these two links:
Difference between ADO vs ODBC vs OLE DB
LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit User Manual
Both of these may provide some more insight into what you are looking for.

Jsp database access using odbc - please help

Hi friends,
I�m trying a very simple database access program in jsp data base access using odbc. Odbc has to be used because thin driver or other drivers may not be available in every system of our college and as you know it's not that easy to make changes to those systems. My problem is so simple. I always get an exception in my program.
My jsp content is as simple as:
<%@ page import="java.lang.*,java.sql.*,java.io.*,registerbean" %>
<jsp:useBean id="db" class="registerbean" scope="session"/>
<%
String str="insert into reg values('" + db.getName() + "','" + db.getUname() + "','" + db.getPass() + "'," + db.getAge() + ",'" + db.getSex() + "','" + db.getAdd() + "','" + db.getUgcourse() + "','" + db.getUgqual() + "'," + db.getPer() + ",'" + db.getIadd() + "')";
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:yogaesh","scott","tiger");
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(str);
}catch(Exception e1){out.println(str);};
%>
the table reg has the structure:
Name Null? Type
CNAME VARCHAR2(20)
UNAME VARCHAR2(20)
CPSWD VARCHAR2(20)
CONFPASS VARCHAR2(20)
CAGE NUMBER
CSEX VARCHAR2(5)
CADD VARCHAR2(100)
COURSE NUMBER
CQUAL VARCHAR2(10)
CPER NUMBER
IADD VARCHAR2(100)
The registerbean.java file is as below: (This seems to work fine because I tried printing the values using <%= %> tag and it worked out fine and moreover the query string is intact.)
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class registerbean
private String name,uname,pass,cpass,age,sex,add,ugcourse,ugqual,per,iadd,otherugqual,ccode;
public void setName(String a)
name=a;
public void setUname(String a)

return(ugcourse);
public String getUgqual()
return(ugqual);
public String getPer()
return(per);
public String getIadd()
return(iadd);
public String getOtherugqual()
return(otherugqual);
I initially thought the problem was with str but then str seems to be perfect and I get a string of the form �insert into reg values('c','c','c',98,'Male','c','B.Tech, Applied Artificial Neural Networks','HSC',9898,'h')� which I verified through a javascript debugger. The session scope used is to get values through the db bean from another jsp file. The problem is in the executeUpdate() line of this code. I even tried changing the updation table, but in vain. What could be done to rectify this? Please help me out and please do remember that I have no option but to use odbc.
Thanks in advance.
R. Yogaesh.

I didn't verify the type of exception and i'm now going to do that, but then when the string is as perfect as needed, what is the need for a prepared statement? What is the basic difference between the two? And basically what is the problem with this piece of code which creates an exception? Please reply as soon as possible.
Thankyou very much.
R. Yogaesh.

Transfering Access and Excel to XML

Dear all,
Does anybody know the classes and APIs used to transfering Access and Excel to XML?
Kevin

There is no single Java API that is built to translate Access and Excel data into XML. However, you can use a simple combination of APIs to accomplish this task. A direct way of doing this is to create ODBC datasources from your Access or Excel sources, use JDBC to connect to and query those datasources. From there you can use the WebRowSet to convert your ResultSet into XML. If you require more control over the formatting of the data, you'll need write something that iterates over the ResultSet data, translating the column names and values into XML. I would recommend using JDOM to build your XML documents. WebRowSet is part of the Rowset API.
Hope this clears things for you.

Oracle9i with ASP and ODBC

i am working in a web project with ASP connecting to Oacle 9i installed on windows 2000, Pentium 4 processor on an NTFS partition.
After installing oracle 9i, to create a new user, i was unable to logon to oracle as SYSDBA using username: system , password: manager
having an error massage stating "ORA-01031:insufficient privileges"
i was only able to connect as Normal
although i set full control NTFS permissions to the whole partition.
after creating the new user (from system, manager as normal) and giving the new user ROLES as (DBA, Connect, Resource)
i tried to connect to oracle using ASP with ADO but the
connection failed although i tried using Visual basic and ODBC and it worked
so the problem now is that i can't connect to oracle in ASP
can anyone help me?

I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding exactly what you're saying here, so I apologize if I misunderstand...
Are you trying to use ASP to connect to the database with the SYSDBA privilege, or are you trying to use ASP to connect to the database with a normal user? I believe you are trying to do the latter, that it is working in VB, but not in ASP. Are you getting an error when you connect via an ASP page? What error are you getting?
Frequently, the problem is that the IIS user(s) don't have read/execute access to the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and subdirectories. I am not sure if you're indicating that you granted yourself full access or the IIS user full access to the partition.

I have a late 2012 iMac running osx 10.8.5. I keep losing access to my internal hard drive. I can reboot and regain access and it will last for a few minutes or hours. Disk utility does not seems to help.

I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive. I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive. The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal. Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing). It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.

You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Setting Opportunity Access and Contact Access to null in Account Team

Hi,
We can set the the Opportunity Access and Contact Access to blank/null manually in the application but is it possible to set these to blank using import?
Thanks,
Teena

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. We have tried updating a record through Account Team > Import > Overwrite Existing Records where the Contact Access and Opportunity Access fields were blank. The import was successfull but the fields were not updated, they are still set to Full access. We used the Account EUID in the import file.
