Netezza ODBC on 64 bit Windows 7

After some help here :
With a client, I've got nzodbcsetup.exe which is always installing 64 bit drivers, No good to me as Im running OBIEE locally and need to install 32 bit drivers.
Does anybody know If I need a 32-bit only ODBC installer or can I specify something when installing to force a 32 bit install ?
Weird thing is, its the same download as the other developers are using on OK on their 32 bit machines, just my laptop is installing as 64 bit ?
Is it likely the install file would handle both 32 bit and 64 bit installs ? BTW its a 44mb exe !
Should I be asking for a 32 bit only installer?

PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
Set up is simple:
M4A79T delux MB
8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
Simple USB keyboard
MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
What I did so far:
I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
Unzipped the basic zip.
Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
What am I missing?

hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

Connect Oracle 11g (64-bit windows server) to Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Hi all,
I am trying to connect:
Oracle 11g (64-bit windows server) to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) on a different machine.
1) I have create an ODBC connection (called:GALAXY) which connects.
2) created a init.ora called it initgalaxy.ora in $oracle_home\hs\admin
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = GALAXY
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = on
3) modified the listener.ora file as below
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: E:\Ora11g\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =

11.2 is beta at the moment. There is no official release date so far.
As DG4ODBC is independant from the Oracle database (or the target database) you can use a 3 machine model:
On the first machine you have your Oracle database, on a second machine running 32bit Windows you can install DG4ODBC and on the 3rd machine you can run your foreign database.
If the SQL Server 2k is installed on a 32bit Windows machine, then you can also install DG4ODBC on this machine.
In general the connection from an Oracle database to the DG4ODBC machine is done using SDQL*Net. The listener responsible for DG4ODBC will then load the DG4ODBC executable which will connect to the SQL Server using SQL Server ODBC driver.

How to reference MS Access database in ColdFusion MX 7 on 64-bit Windows

I am migrating customers from:
Windows 2000 Server (fully patched)
Internet Information Services (IIS) 5
ColdFusion 5
to:
Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition (fully patched)
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6 (running in 32-bit
mode)
ColdFusion MX 7 (7.0.2) Standard
Unfortunately, some of these existing customers are still
using Microsoft Access databases instead of SQL Server. Having all
of these existing customers migrate to SQL Server is not yet
practical. On the old Windows 2000 / ColdFusion 5 server, they are
using OLE DB data sources to reference the MS Access databases
using the "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" provider. None are configured
to use ODBC drivers when referencing MS Access or SQL Server.
I have yet to figure out how to get ColdFusion MX 7 to:
- Create a data source that references MS Access databases on
64-bit Windows.
- Reference an existing MS Access data source created with
the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Manager on 64-bit
Windows.
A bit of background information regarding MS Access on 64-bit
Windows:
- At the time of this writing, Microsoft has not
created/released 64-bit drivers for Microsoft Access and it's
unlikely they ever will, for understandable reasons.
- Contrary to seemingly popular belief, the Microsoft Jet 4.0
Database Engine does exist on 64-bit Windows. See the following
regarding version and file location information:
How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet
4.0 Database Engine
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114
- You CAN create MS Access based data sources within 64-bit
Windows, but they have to be made using the 32-bit version of "ODBC
Data Source Manager". I'm assuming these DSNs may only be used by
32-bit applications, but I have not tested that theory.
32-bit data sources:
ODBC Data Source Manager:
%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC
Default file DSN directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources
64-bit data sources:
ODBC Data Source Manager:
%SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe
Registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
Default file DSN directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources
The 64-bit version of "ODBC Data Source Manager" (under
Administrative Tools) only show "SQL Server" and/or "SQL Native
Client" as options when creating new data sources, unless
third-party software is installed that supplies additional drivers.
The 32-bit version of "ODBC Data Source Manager" (by default,
there is no shortcut for this in the Start menu) shows the typical
drivers seen on 32-bit versions of Windows, including SQL Server,
SQL Native Client, Microsoft Access, Excel, FoxPro, Paradox, etc.
When using ColdFusion Administrator in ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 in
64-bit Windows 2003 (IIS is running in 32-bit mode to allow
ColdFusion MX 7 to function at all), two problems are encountered
when dealing with MS Access (and presumably other 32-bit drivers).
In both cases, ColdFusion is trying to reference the registry
location for 64-bit data sources instead of 32-bit:
1. Creating a new data source within ColdFusion
Administrator:
Data Source Name: whatever
Driver: Microsoft Access
CF Data Source Name: whatever
Database file: (physical path to whatever.mdb)
(other settings are irrelvant for this example)
Error generated when submitting:
Unable to update the NT registry.
Cannot open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC
Data Sources: Windows error number 5 occurred.Access is denied.
ColdFusion stores the data source, however a "verify"
generates the following error:
Connection verification failed for data source: whatever
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Data source name not found and
no default driver specified
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error:
Data source name not found and no default driver specified
2. Creating the data source using the 32-bit version of "ODBC
Data Source Manager" then trying to reference it with ColdFusion:
ODBC Data Source Manager:
System DSN or File DSN:
Name: whatever
Driver: Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb)
Database: (physical path to whatever.mdb)
(creation is successful within ODBC Data Source Manager)
Reference the above DSN within ColdFusion Administrator:
Data Source Name: whatever
Driver: ODBC Socket
Error generated when submitting:
Error accessing available odbc datasources. - Cannot open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources:
Windows error 2 occurred.The system cannot find the file specified.
ColdFusion MX 7 can't find the 32-bit data source on 64-bit
Windows because it's looking for it in the wrong registry location.
Can ColdFusion MX 7 be configured to look in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC
instead of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
on a 64-bit Windows machine?

Paul,
Thanks for the insight on this. Regarding the initial problem
I ran into with creating Access based DSNs, very early-on, I
noticed there were two different driver options for Access
displayed within ColdFusion MX 7 Administrator:
Microsoft Access
Microsoft Access with Unicode
For reasons I'm am still baffled over, I somehow completely
forgot about and through the wonders of apparent tunnel vision,
completely overlooked the "Microsoft Access with Unicode" driver
option when I was running through my tests.
At your seemingly-obvious suggestion, I created a data source
using the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver and it worked
perfectly fine with the one customer's web site I'm using for
testing (of course, this is a copy--the production site is still
housed on the old ColdFusion 5 server). This obviously doesn't
actually fix the underlying issue with ColdFusion looking in the
wrong part of the registry on 64-bit Windows, but at least when it
comes to dealing with Access databases, your suggestion of using
the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver appears to be a functional
work-around. So long as there aren't any surprises waiting for me,
hopefully this will also work for the remaining ColdFusion sites I
have to migrate that are using Access databases.
Since you mentioned JDBC drivers in comparison with ODBC, I'm
pointing out a couple of references in case they're helpful to
anyone following this thread:
ColdFusion MX 7 - About JDBC
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001736.htm
Types of JDBC technology drivers
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/driverdesc.html
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/
I don't actually develop anything in ColdFusion, so I'm
dealing with all of this from a server administration standpoint
since we do have some domain hosting customers that do develop or
at least have existing ColdFusion based sites. I am all
too-familiar with the caveats of using Access in any kind of
production or heavily used environment and have spent years keeping
users away from ODBC. For ColdFusion users, that meant creating OLE
DB DSNs and often having to fix poorly written SQL statements and
fixing ColdFusion date-related values and boolean values (the
common problems encountered when switching CF / MS Access users
from ODBC to OLE DB). I can only recall running into problems with
a single SQL Server based ColdFusion site when migrating from ODBC
to OLE DB. That customer never did get their many coding problems
fixed, so they're the only ones still using ODBC in CF. I have no
idea what'll happen when that one site gets migrated over--if it'll
even work. Obviously a lot of things have changed between
ColdFusion 5 and the MX versions that have come along afterward.
Thanks again for the Access with Unicode driver tip and JDBC
info. It looks like I can finally start moving forward again with
the site migration process.

64 bit Windows, 64 Bit Office, 32 bit database, 160 headaches

Hi all!
I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers here. The setup I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Office 2010 x64
Oracle 10g 10.2.0 32 bit client
Oracle 10g 32 bit database
Java 7 Update 25 (64 bit), version 7.0.250
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update (64 bit), version 1.7.0.250
(Also just downloaded SQL Developer 4, but that's a different story)
...and I'm trying to create an ODBC connecton in Excel. Now - obviously I can't use 32 bit ODBC in 64 bit Excel, as it's the wrong architecture type. I've been searching around and trying to answer the following questions:
Can I have separate 64 bit ORacle drivers just sitting in a folder by themselves, and use those to communicate with a 32 bit Oracle DB?
If so, do they exist anywhere for download?
I've tried downloading ODAC10203x64.zip, but when unpacked and opened, I get an error saying "Java 2 platform standard edition binary has stopped working", and I get no further. Further questions are:
What does that error mean? Can it be remedied?
If not, is it possible just to unpack all the jar files, find the drivers in there, register them and use them that way?
Thanks in advance!

Your forgetting that Apple called this a cutting edge product and then failed to support it on cutting edge hardware (v64). The fact that the call center is telling people to roll back to 10 year old technology would be like Microsoft telling iTunes users to roll back OSx. That's not what an early adopter or tech enthusiast wants to hear.
It just appears out of step with a company looking towards the future. I'll bet it wasnt a business decision but a test issue where the Apple Test team chose to cut support because there were too many bugs and not enough time to fix them.
Bottom line, rather than take the "I Hate Microsoft" line, how about recognize a gap in delivery?

Creating and Editing .udl files in 64-bit Windows

I have not done any database work since 64-bit Windows was released. Things have changed and I lost a few hours trying to troubleshoot database connectivity. If someone else runs into the same issues, hopefully this post will save them some time.
In trying to to examine the LabVIEW example database and UDL file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.mdb
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.udl
I copied them to a new location and found out that simply double-clicking on the UDL to view how it is configured results in an error: "Provider cannot be found. Ensure that the provider has been installed properly." This should normally bring up a UDL properties dialog/utility.
The reason for this error is that 32-bit and 64-bit OLE DB providers are carried separately in 64-bit Windows installation (even if you are using 32 bit LabVIEW).
To view and test the UDL's configuration using the windows tool, you'll need to open up a command box, and paste this text to run the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator:
C:\Windows\syswow64\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll",OpenDSLFile C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.udl
Change the path to your own UDL file. It is advised NOT to modify the original LabVIEW example UDL. Just exit the properties dialog without making changes if you open up the utility on the LabVIEW original.
This trick can be helpful if you want to use a copy of the example LabVIEW database in your own application for testing or troubleshooting. Simply copy the database and the .udl file to a new location (rename both if desired), then edit the .udl copy as necessary (modify the paste-text above as needed for the new file's location).
This will also allow you to connect the new UDL to a different 32-bit OLE provider using the UDL "Data Link Properties" utility provided within the Windoze O/S.
This trick may also be necessary if you have installed OLE providers in 32-bit mode you wish to use and cannot find the providers using the normal 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator that is launched by default.

Windows KB Article on 32/64 bit ODBC

I seem to have fixed the issue...
I used C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to create a file DSN, then created a new database with that DSN. I then imported the data from my other database and that seems to work correctly.
Hope this helps someone else.

DB Link to SQL Server (11gR2 64-bit Windows 7)

Without going into all the gruesome details, it is mostly straightforward to set up a DB Link to SQL Server from an Oracle 10 instance on 32 bit Windows 7. However I simply cannot get the link to work on 11gR2. I tried the simplistic ds4odbc interface and the more complex SQL Server gateway. Nothing works. The connection always times out. Has anyone been able to create a SQL Server DB link from 11gR2 on Windows 7? (The Oracle instance is 32 bit. The OS is 64 bit). I know Win7 is unsupported at present.

Hi,
first of all you need to check the ODBC connectivity between Oracle and SQL Server and the Data source,try to load data from oracle to Sql Server to check the ODBC connection is working properly and then create database link from sql server to oracle ,you can create stored procedures in SQL server to get data from Oracle to sql server or Oracle PL/SQL Packages to data from sql server to Oracle Database
To setup ODBC and datasource
see this link
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
and then create link server in sql server after you test connenction with oracle

Firefox 32-bit w/ JRE 32-bit on 64-bit Windows OS (Vista, Windows 7)

What do people think about this?

It describes a solution for making the Firefox plugin work for Java 32-bit & Firefox 32-bit, running on a 64-bit Windows OS. -- I can confirm that this is an issue, and can confirm that this is the fix.
I suspect it's because of the new convention for 32-bit apps (C:\Program Files (x86)\...), and the JRE doesn't recognize that Firefox is there, because it assumes it should be in C:\Program Files\... ?
Should a bug report be submitted?

How do you get the 32bit client to communicate with the 64bit Oracle instance on the same windows box? After installing the 64 bit db and client (on a developer desktop), I installed the 32 bit client to a different oracle home. I could not get it to connect to the listener - what am I doing wrong? Should I reinstall it to the 64bit home - I'm afraid that'll kill everything though.
Also, I think I'm correct in this, but not sure: any 32bit app must use the 32bit client on the 64bit box. MS Access needs 32bit ODBC, which needs 32bit client, etc.
Thx,
Jeff

How do you reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 in UEFI mode?

I have a PC with a single hard disk and, a while ago now, I installed 64-bit Windows 7 on it in UEFI mode.
The disk has two primary partitions: a C: partition which contains my Windows 7 system and other installed software such as Office, and a D: partition which contains only personal data.
(In other words, I don’t have a multi- or dual-boot system.)
I now wish to reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 into the same C: partition, again in UEFI mode.
There is a procedure for reinstalling Windows 7 documented on the following MS Web page:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7
in the section entitled “Using the Custom installation option without formatting the hard disk”.
The following YouTube video demonstrates this procedure:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr_s29MWOA0
and it looks relatively straightforward.
Essentially, the re-installation starts by inserting the installation DVD into the optical disk drive and running setup.exe while still logged on to Windows 7 with an administrator user ID.
At the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, both the System Reserved partition (the example in the video is a legacy BIOS installation) and the C: primary partition are visible.
On that screen, you simply select the C: primary partition and click
Next, and Windows 7 is effectively reinstalled over Windows 7.
Any personal data in the C: partition is preserved in a folder called Windows.old.
The big question is, does this procedure work for a UEFI installation?
The documentation does not state that it works only for a legacy BIOS installation.
If I were to follow the procedure, when I reach the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, I would expect to see the EFI System Partition (ESP), the Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR), my C: primary partition and my D: primary partition.
Can I simply select the C: primary partition and click Next to start the (re-)installation?
It appears that nowhere in the procedure do you specify what mode of installation (legacy BIOS or UEFI) is required.
Does the installation setup simply use the same mode as that of the existing installation?
Does anyone have any experience of reinstalling Windows 7 in UEFI mode, using this procedure or any other method?

Hi,
It depends. Do you have Windows 7 DVD? Does your computer have a Boot from EFI Drive option?
Windows 7 DVD can boot in either BIOS mode or UEFI mode. Different UEFI firmware implementations support different methods for handling the installation operation. The processes for booting the computer into UEFI mode for the Windows product DVD are
the same. If you can find a boot from EFI Drive option, please perform the suggestions as i referred to.
If you cannot find any boot option, perform the steps below:
Use Device Manager's Firmware option and select Boot from EFI Internal Shell.
Use the EFI internal shell, as follows:
Start the EFI internal shell from the EFI boot menu and select the drive with the Windows product DVD. The following example assumes that the drive is Fs0:
Shell> Fs0:
Start the EFI boot application. For example, on an x64 system, run the following command:
fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
After the application starts, you may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue. Press a key to continue booting from the installation media.

How to install a plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server?

From the developer forum, I found a description which told me how to install a plugin on windows series system, but I only succeded intalling the plugin on 32 bits windows xp, couldn't install the plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server. Any ideas or advices, men of genius? Thanks :-)

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.
