ODBC Connection parameters

Hi Experts,
I am trying to connect to GE Cache database which supports ODBC connections. I have worked with JDBC connections but never with ODBC connections.
Can some one help me what shall i pass in JDBC driver and connection string parameters?
Thanks,
Sameer

HI Sameer,
Please see the connection details below.
JDBC Driver - jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection - jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//SERVER/db/DBTYPE.mdb

ODBC connectivity between Oracle 11G and MSSQL Server on Solaris 10

When we were running in 10G, I was able to successfully configure hsodbc using unixODBC and freeTDS to allow for an ODBC connection between Oracle and MSSQL Server.
A few weeks ago we upgraded to 11G and I've been struggling to get the connectivity (dg4odbc) working.
In our 10g environment unixODBC and freeTDS were compiled as 32-bit. I have recompiled them as 64-bit and switched over to an 11G listener and I am getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:

Thank you for your response.
I modified the envs LD_LIBRARY_PATH parameter in my SID_LIST_LISTENERODBC to be:

and bounced the listener, but I'm still getting the same error.
I do not have a lib64 directory in my Freetds installation, but all the files in the lib directory are 64-bit.

Multi Value Parameter with ODBC Connection

Hi Everyone . . .
I am stuck, and have been since Monday :/ . . .
Backgroud:
I am using Report Builder 3.0 with an ODBC connection to build reports off of our Vertica DB. This part is going swimmingly, thanks to the help I recieved from this forum.
Now, some of the queries that I am using (or reports I guess) require parameters. I was attempting the @Parameter and quickly realized this was not possible with the ODBC connection. I have solved this issue by using the ? as the parameter.
Works nicely, not as clean, but serves the purpose.
Most, all of my parameters to this point have been single value parameters. Now, however, we are dabbling in allowing our report users to select multiple Users as a parameter. This is where I am stuck...
I have flipped the parameter checkbox to "Allow multiple values", I then recieved an error saying this:
Cannot add multi value query parameter 'UserName' for dataset 'RankingQuery' because it is not supported by the data extension.
Here is what I have done: I have gone to the Dataset properties for the appropriate query that the parameter is being fed into > then to the Parameters tab. In the Parameters tab instead of selecting the @UserName parameter from the drop down
I clicked the Fx buttone and inserted the UserName Parameter from there it looks like this: =Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
Now because of this last step my report runs without error, however, when I select multiple user names from the parameter drop down I only recieve data for the first person selected in that drop down.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks everyone.
Travis

Hi There
Thanks for your posting. Can you please try this way? Go to your dataset properties and then go to filter tab and add filter like this
Please choose your dataset filed name from the dataset in which you would like to apply the filter for your parameter
UserName
Put operator=in
And please put value like= Parameters!UserName.Value
Please do not put Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
I hope this will resolve your problem
Many thanks
Syed

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Setting connection parameters in iOS-Corebluetooth Framework

Hi Team,
     According to the Core Bluetooth Framework Reference there is an option argument on the CBCentralManager.connectPeripheral method, but there is no documentation that describes it other than to mention that its "A dictionary to customize the behavior of the connection.".
      I'm assuming that this is how the caller would specify the initial connection interval and slave latency. Please provide the dictionary details(i.e key of the dictionary).
     Please suggest me, how to give the key and value for the connection parameters dictionary(mentioned above).
Thanks and Regards
-Ibrahim Sulaiman

Thanks for the answer. I am sure a trigger could be done but would be a pain for a few deployment reasons.
In my searching seems like the ODBC setting work much like the fat JDBC. So I would guess I will need some VBA script in Access. But I am not sure VBA can drill down to the driver level.
Any thought on a VBA script a user could run to set the params then they could do their ad-hoc stuff?

Escape Character in ODBC Connections?? HELP!

Hi All,
I have a problem : we have a C++ app here that is supposed to attach to an Oracle 8i or 9i database here via a standard ODBC connection.
When this app attempts to do something like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('[testing]')
it fails - it does not like the square brackets in the command. when I copy this into SQL Plus, of course, it runs just fine.
the ODBC link also doesn't like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('/[testing/]') either
or this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('[[testing]]') either
or this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('`testing`') either
in fact, it appears the following are all reserved characters that oracle's ODBC driver can't handle:
` ' " \ / [ ]
My questions are :
1) Can I find a definitive list of these (Oracle documentation is good on reserved WORDS, but poor on reserved CHARACTERS)
2) what can I use to set an escape character within my ODBC SQL? Is this something I can tweak on the ODBC DSN cofiguration? I know in SQL*Plus you can just say
SET ESCAPE ON
SET ESCAPE "\"
But you can't do that on every SQL Query getting sent through ODBC can you?
Please help!
I

Thanks, but thats not really answering the two
questions I posed, is it? Well you are asking the wrong questions.
The quoted example was just
that, an example. The actual app is calling stored
procedures and not doing simple SQL statements. Using
bound variables is not really an option because the
number and type of parameters being sent down change
continually. This is no reason to not use bind variables. If you do not use bind variables and this is an OLTP database then scaling will not be an option for your application. It can also raise potential security holes due to SQL injection.
The site you quoted is to do with
obtaining recordsets back from stored procedures. We
do not need to obtain recordsets back from stored
procedures. Yes and it also shows how to bind input variables in ODBC calls, does the presence of record sets somehow render this invisible?
>
shall I repeat myself:-
My questions are :
1) Can I find a definitive list of these (Oracle
documentation is good on reserved WORDS, but poor on
reserved CHARACTERS)
As you can run the command in SQL*Plus it should indicate that it is not a reserved character as far as Oracle is concerned. Therefore looking in the Oracle documentation will not get you anywhere. You will need to refer to the documentation for your ODBC driver and the ODBC specification.
2) what can I use to set an escape character within
my ODBC SQL? Is this something I can tweak on the
ODBC DSN cofiguration? I know in SQL*Plus you can
just say
SET ESCAPE ON
SET ESCAPE "\"
I must admit I don't know.

The connection parameters file could not be found

Hi,
I`m receiving the message "The connection parameters file could not be found" every time I try to access my local sybase data base from dbisqlc.exe. I work with Sebel 78 and I have entered as parameters my ID, my password and the path to the .dbf file.
Could anyone please advise?
Thanks

Hi,
Try specifying the ODBC Data Source [Create an ODBC Connection] and specify the Data Source File (.DSN) in the Login Tab of (dbisqlc.exe) under
"Choose an ODBC datasource to supplement the connection parameters" section.
Hope it helps.

Net Service Names \ ODBC connection in 8i Pers

Hi,
I am new to Oracle and have 8i Personal
installed. I am trying to get an ODBC connection established to the sample database that was installed but it is not working. I have not been able to get the right combination of net service \ listener \ ODBC parameters. I have tried to do Test Database in the Net8 Assistant even on the
EXT_PROCCONNECTION_DAT service name that shipped but always get a ORA12560:Protocol Adaptor error. Should my protocol be IPC or TCP\IP - I am running local and the sample database is local, too. Does anyone know what parameters to use to get a connection or where I can find more about ODBC connections?
Thanks,
Mike Thrapp

Right-click the WINDOWS desktop, choose New->Microsoft Data Link. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to configure and test your database connection. You might connect to the Access database via ODBC or directly via Jet Engine. The Jet Enginge saves you the trouble of creating an ODBC connection on your PC. After you leave the dialog, the "data link" will show up on your desktop as text file. Open it and copy-paste the connection string to your VI.
This webpage is an excellent resource for connection strings: http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm
If your application requires users to change the database connection at runtime, you can also include the dialog via ActiveX (MSDASC.IDataSourceLocator).

Hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection
i created a crystal report for a mysql database on my machine and everything works great
but we have other reports that come from other machines with different odbc connection
and this its not working when opens the report asks for credentials
and i cannot use the remote ip for these reports that come from other machine
question
if i cannot connect to remote ip to open the report
for each report i have to create a database the report database on my machine and then open the report ?
or there is some other way to open the report ?
i am using visual studio 2013 and mysql and
<add key="MYSQLODBCDRIVER" value="{MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver}"/>
thanks

short
i have a report that it was created on another server with a specific dsn
now i am trying to open the report on my machine
the database from the other server does not exist on my machine
the server machine where the report was created the ip its not accessible
question ?
can i open the report on my machine or its impossible ?
thanks

Not seeing all DB tables in Crystal using ODBC connection

I have an ODBC connection to an oracle database. I can connect to the database and see all the tables through tools such as TOAD, SQL developer, SQLPlus, etc. However, in Crystal, i only see schema tables and not the tables I want. I am using the same connection, username, and password. If I run a report that was created in a different environment to the correct tables, I receive the error: ORA00942: table or view does not exist.
Oracle 10g
Crystal 12.0.0.683
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Diana Woronuk

Hi Diana,
Go to File | Options and open the Database tab.
Make sure Tables and Views are checked. You may want to include Stored Procedures too.
Save the changes and restart Crystal.
You should see your tables now. If you have more than 200 objects in your database, you may need to use the Table Name Like option to filter out some of the tables.
Good luck,
Brian

How to find the number of ODBC connections to Oracle Database

Hi All,
How to find the number of ODBC connections and all connections to the Database in last week. Are there any views to get this information?
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

What Ed said is true that Oracle doesn't note which type of protocol is connecting to the database, however, you can see which program is accessing the database.
For example: if you already know of a user using ODBC, you can verify as:
select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where username = 'SCOTT'
USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
2 rows selected.Assuming that you can confirm the progam noted in the above (example) is the one using ODBC, then you can change the query such as:
SQL> select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where program = 'w3wp.exe';
USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
2 rows selected.Just for kicks, I checked our listener.log file, but there was no reference of odbc in it either.
Hope this helps...

11g 64-bit unable to create ODBC connection

Hello,
I am currently facing issue related to ODBC connection. Details of configuration is as follows
OS: Vista 64 Home Premium
Oracle DB 11g 64bit: ver 11.1.0.6.0,plus the addition of the fix for bug 7389110 (as per release notes)
ODBC driver location: C:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\db1\BIN\sqora32.dll
It appears and works well from 32 bit ODBC connection manager. However, it's not visible/available from 64 bit ODBC connection manager. Oracle installation repository appears under 64 bit area ("Program Files") and not under "Program Files (x86)". Assuming it might be a problem with installation I have also tried copying registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC with no luck.
Any help to create ODBC connection is much appreciated
Thanks,
Hemant

ODBC connection not able to see all schemas

Hi everyone,
We have noticed an unusual problem that just recently started. In our database, I have created a read-only user - only has the ability to connect to the database, and SELECT ANY TABLE. Then we have some applications (Crystal Reports and Lotus Notes Agents) that use this user to query data. The applications use an ODBC connection, and when we initially set this up, everything worked beautifully.
However, suddenly we have noticed that the ODBC connection is not able to see all of the schemas in the database. We have tested and confirmed this - using either 9.02 ODBC or 10.01, this happens with both of them. I created a couple new ODBC connections, one for each version, then I try to create a new Crystal Report, using this ODBC connection - when I connect using the read-only user, it connects just fine, but when it shows me all of the schemas available, I am only seeing about half of them (and of course not seeing the one that I really need to see).
However, when I use Microsoft Access, and try to import some External Data, and I use the same ODBC connections, then I AM seeing all of the schemas.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot?
Thanks,
Brad

I'm trying to get this issue figured out. Can you
tell me what you mean when you ask me to log in
directly as the same user using ODBC and query
ALL_TABLES - how would I do that?Using whatever Oracle database account you use in Crystal, log in to the database using SQL*Plus (or your favorite GUI like SQL Developer) and run a query like
SELECT owner, table_name
FROM all_tablesDoes that query show all the tables you expect, or are you missing some?
Also, you mention a parameter in the ODBC API that
controls which schemas are returned - is there any
way to see that value?An ODBC trace might show the value, I don't recall if the actual value is written out in the trace. Different front-end tools often have a place that allows you to filter out certain schemas, which is generally done by passing in a parameter to this ODBC API call. I don't know enough about your tools, though, to know where this might be.
Are there any other ODBC drivers I could try?There are plenty of third party ODBC drivers out there, but I would tend to be suprised if the ODBC driver was at fault here. You could also try patching the ODBC driver and/or Oracle client to the most recent patchsets.
