Memory leak when using database connectivity toolset and ODBC driver for MySQL

The "DB Tools Close Connection VI" does not free all the memory used when "DB Tools Open Connection VI" connects to "MySQL ODBC Driver 3.51".
I have made a small program that only opens and close the connection that I run continously and it's slowly eating all my memory. No error is given from any of the VI's. (I'm using the "Simple Error Handler VI" to check for errors.)
I've also tried different options in the DSN configuration without any results.

Also,
I've duplicated the OPs example: a simple VI that opens and closes a connection. I can say this definately causes a memory leak.

Timesten and odbc driver

i installed timesten 7.00.01, and created a mfc application(mfc 7.1).
CDatabase is mfc class, see the following fraction code
CDatabase m_db;
m_db.Open("mysql");//connect to mysql
//m_db.Open("tt");//connect to timestamp
CString sql("create table bar2(date1 char(20))");
m_db.ExecuteSQL(sql);
in timestamp, connect is ok, but when calling executesql, system complained
"driver does not support this function"
but in fact the table had been already created, i can see it using ttIsql
in mysql, everything is ok.
any idea about this? it seems to me it is a problem related to odbc drvier.

sorry for my mistakenly typing.
i found the reason is ::SQLMoreResults is not support in timesten.
and this guy encounter the same problem as me.

can anyone help? thanks in advance.

Oracle ODBC Driver and Numbers in ASP

When I try to retrieve a number field from my RecordSet I allways get 0, allthow when viewing the field from SQL Plus I get another value.
objRs is an ADODB.resultSet and state is a Number(5) field.
I've tried:
objRs("state")
objRs("state").value
objRs.Fields("state")
objRs.Fields("state").value
but they all return 0
null

1) As I recall, the problem of returning 0 is caused either by an outdated version of the ODBC driver or of the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components). Updated versions of the ODBC driver are available here on OTN and updated versions of the MDAC are available at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
2) Versioning-
To determine the version of the Oracle8 ODBC driver you should be using, simply match up the first three digits of the ODBC driver version and the Oracle client version (see chart Mr. Oehl posted). The 8.1.5.6 ODBC driver should go on an 8.1.5.x.x system, the 8.1.6.1 ODBC driver should go on an 8.1.6.x.x system. If you have an Oracle7 client, you'll need one of the version 2.5x Oracle7 ODBC drivers.
Any ODBC driver should connect with any Oracle database. No need to match anything up there. You can determine the version of the database you're connected to by calling the ODBC function SQLGetInfo with the InfoType SQL_DBMS_VER.
A little elaboration on version numbers
- Oracle versions are generally 5 digits (i.e. 8.0.5.2.4, 8.1.5.1.1). The versions that you get on CD's are generally (always?) x.x.x.0.0 versions (i.e. 8.1.5.0.0, 8.1.6.0.0). The last two digits are incremented by periodic patchkit releases <ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/wgt_tech/server/windowsNT/>
- ODBC drivers must report versions in 4 parts, each part having 2 digits (i.e. 8.01.05.05). Since we're lazy about typing extra 0's, we simplify this and just refer to the 8.1.5.5 ODBC driver.
- The 8.1.5.x ODBC driver is built with the client libraries that ship with Oracle 8.1.5.x.x, the 8.1.6.x ODBC driver is built with the client libraries that ship with Oracle 8.1.6.x.x, etc. This is why I said above that you need to match the first 3 version numbers between Oracle client and ODBC driver to determine which to use.
I hope this is more enlightening than confusing...

Help w/ODBC driver and Oracle 7 (and maybe 8)

Hi,
Can anyone give me some information about using the Oracle ODBC driver for Windows? I know that it is no longer supported, but our application uses the Oracle 7 (7.3.4) client to connect to an Oracle 8i server. I have some reports written in a MS Access front end that connect through the ODBC (Oracle 7 driver) to the server.
When I run a query that takes a long time to return results, I find the connection times out whenever I use Windows2000/NT but is fine when I use 98. I also have this problem when I use the Oracle 8 client/driver and I am sure to remove the check from the "Enable Query Timeout" box in the ODBC setup. Again, even with 8, no problem on 98, but timeouts still happen on NT/2000
Is there a known bug out there on this and is there some way to fix it?
Thanks for your help and regards,
Eugene

The Oracle ODBC driver is certainly still a supported product. There are old versions (i.e. the Oracle7 driver that are no longer supported).
Which version of the Oracle 8 client & ODBC driver are you using? If you're using a older 8.0.x client and ODBC driver, those may not have been certified on Windows 2000. Can you connect to the database with SQL*Plus on the machines where the Oracle 8 client & ODBC driver are installed?
Is it possible that the user that's running the Access front-end doesn't have sufficient privs to the %ORACLE_HOME% directory? I know NT & 2000 actually enforce this sort of thing, where 98 doesn't.

Setting up an Oracle ODBC Driver and Essbase

Hi all,
I am trying to retrieve data directly from Essbase into SAS (Statistical Analysis Software) by setting up an Oracle ODBC Driver and Essbase.
I read this document in the below link and I was convinced that I could use ODBC to connect to Essbase, but our data administrator says that Essbase is an OLAP database and can NOT use ODBC.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/esb_sqlint.pdf
I am a SAS programmer, but I have no background in technical configuration, so I was wondering if someone can help me if it is really possible or not to connect to Essbase using ODBC.
If it is possible, I have a follow up question...
I followed this link below to do a set up and did so successfully before the actual step to add a new data source to ODBC driver.
I should be able to select the TNS Service Name from the drop down list. This name will be that which I named in the TNSNAMES.ora file’s Alias = section, but I don’t see this option…
It would be great if someone knows why I do not see this option populated under drop-down in the screenshot.

Problem with Oracle XE client (erreur 126 in ODBC driver)

Hello
When I want connect to the server with SQL (XE Client) I wrote :
SQL> connect SYS

ERROR
ORA-12560: TNS: erreur d'adaptateur de protocole
SQL>
When I want to install ODBC Driver (Oracle in XEClient), the system return an error : "System error code 126"
Whitch is the problem ?
Please help me !
Regards,
Alexandre

Hello,
Thank you for your help,
XE is installed on Linux Server (192.168.19.30) and is started
XPClient is installed on Windows XP Client (192.168.19.100)
I can connect to XE using http://192.168.19.30:8080/apex
The problem is that I can't use ODBC driver
In other hand, I can connect to the server in SQL command line, using :
CONNECT SYSTEM/*******@192.168.19.30
I saw in Oracle documentation that in Windows it's necessarie to use environnement variables to setup XEClient.
Do you have any idea on how to configure client and ODBC driver ?

Guide me What I do?

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

Incompatibility of 8.1.6 Database and 8.1.7 ODBC driver

I am attempting to connect to an Oracle 8.1.6 database using a 8.1.7 ODBC driver and MS vb 6 adodb. I can successfully connect to the database, but when I try to open a table, the program hangs.
In reviewing the trace log, the last few lines of the file look like the following...
VB6 118-46     ENTER SQLExecDirectW
          HSTMT 031C2000
          WCHAR * 0x030CDF50 [      25] "select * from BARTRESULTS"
          SDWORD 25
where "BARTRESULTS" is the name of the table.
I read a thread discussing incompatibilites between versions, and is this one of those cases? And if I need to be using an 8.1.6 ODBC driver, is there a way to uninstall the 8.1.7 ODBC driver, and install the 8.1.6 driver? I attempted to do this using the Oracle Universal Installer, and it didn't seem to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any driver should work with an 8.1.6 database. You'll want the driver that corresponds to the version of your Oracle client (i.e. 8.1.5.6 on an 8.1.5.x.x client, 8.0.5.9 on an 8.0.5.x.x client).

Oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.61 ODBC Driver Access Violation

Using Oracle ODBC for Windows to Oracle 8.1.6 database to get a list of the tables/views in the database.
The following code worked on 8.0.4, 8.0.5, and 8.1.5 databases and their respective ODBC Drivers. It gives me an access violation with 8.1.6.
The 8.1.61 ODBC Drivers was able to run the code once, but when I ran it a second time, it gave me an access violation.
The access violation occurs on the SQLFetch somewhere in the middle of the loop.
Here is the abbreviated sample code:
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, m_hdbc, &hCursor);
SQLSetStmtAttr (hCursor, SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE, (SQLPOINTER) SQL_CURSOR_STATIC, 0);
SQLTables(hCursor, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 1, SQL_C_CHAR, sQualifier, sizeof(sQualifier), &indQualifier);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 2, SQL_C_CHAR, sOwner, sizeof(sOwner), &indOwner);
SQLBindCol(hCursor, 3, SQL_C_CHAR, sTableName, sizeof(sTableName), &indTableName);
nReturn = SQL_SUCCESS;
while ((nReturn = SQLFetch(hCursor) ) == SQL_SUCCESS)
// after a 100 or so iterations, it crashes
nReturn = SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hCursor);
Please let me know if there are other ODBC drivers I could use, or if 8.1.62 will fix this.

SQL Server Reporting Services: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.

Hi,
Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.
1. Double click and open the datasource in your project.
2. Click on the credentials tab, and click on option button 'Use this username and password'
3. Enter the username and password to connect to the datasource
4. Deploy or upload the datasource to the report server and try accessing the reports.
Hope this helps.

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

You only need the ODBC driver on each computer. If you are distributing the SQL Toolkit app as an executable and do not install the whole toolkit on each computer, you'll need the SQL Toolkit support files. This is about a dozen files. You can get the list at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/b814be005f9da9258625658700550c75?OpenDocument.

Download and installing oracle odbc driver alone

Hi all,
I wanted to find out if I can download just the oracle odbc driver and install in without actually installing oracle database or client version on windows PC.
thank you

You will need to have some Oracle software on your machine for the Oracle ODBC driver to function.
If you can use the 10g client, you can install the 10g Instant Client and the ODBC driver. The Instant Client is a minimal set of libraries that allow components like the Oracle ODBC driver to work. The 10g client, though, is not certified to connect to databases earlier than 8.1.7.
If you have to use an earlier version, you have to install the full Oracle client, which is not a small install, to be able to use the Oracle ODBC driver.

Linked Server [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hi I have SQL2012 installed on my local machine and have also installed MySQL 5.6.23 installed with a test database.
I also have my SQL connector installed and MYSQL ODBC Driver 3.51.
Which happily connects to the Mysqldb.
The Datasource Name : mySQL conn
TCP/IP Server : localhost and Port :3306
User root
with pwd
On the SQL side I have used the following
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYSQLSRV',
@srvproduct=N'mySQL conn',
@provider=N'MSDASQL',
@datasrc=N'mySQL conn'
However when I try to selet using open query
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ( [MYSQLSRV], 'SELECT * FROM students' )
it comes back with
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV".
I cant understand what I have done wrong . Any help in this would be great as Ive hit a bit of a brick wall

Hi Robert3975,
In addition to other post, please also note the following things.
1. If you use the 32-bit driver on a 64-bit machine, please run the 32bit version of "odbcad32.exe" by running "c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
from Start/Run menu and
create your ODBC DSN. However, for the 64-bit driver, use c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe to create your ODBC DSN. For more details, please review this similar
thread.
2. Expand the folder Providers under Linked server directory in SSMS and go to properties of MSDASQL provider and configure it properly as described in this blog:
Creating Linked server to MYSQL from SQL Server.

UnixODBC and Oracle 10.2.0.3 ODBC driver - Batch inserts not supported?

We're trying to use the 10.2.0.3 Oracle ODBC driver for Linux, with UnixODBC 2.2.11 (on CentOS 5.2).
Most things work fine, but when we call:
SQLSetStmtAttr(_stmtHandle, SQL_ATTR_PARAMSET_SIZE, (SQLPOINTER)rowSize, 0);
It returns -1, and the error returned is:
ODBC error: (IM001) - [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Driver does not support this function
(The same thing when trying to set SQL_ATTR_PARAM_BIND_TYPE (setting it to SQL_PARAM_BIND_BY_COLUMN).
Has anyone seen this before? What could we be doing wrong?

I've tried the 10.1 ODBC driver and it seems to work correctly.
Now I'd like to know if Oracle has the intention of making available a new version of the XE Client in the near future or if the adoption of the previous version is the only solution...
