and click on OK button. This way I added new connection. After that I was trying to rename the DSN connection name to SOURCE(Oracle_10g). there is no rename button. So i thought I remove this connection and add again. But when I try to add it. It will not add it. I follow the same procedure as i mentioned above. But finally when I click on OK button. it is not showing any new connection name under User Data Sources list. It is not giving any error messages.The ODBC Manager software is used to define and maintain ODBC connection aliases (aka DSN ). It enumerates the list of available drivers, interact with the driver when you want to use it to create an alias, and then stores the alias when defined.
If this does not work, and the alias is not stored, it is not an Oracle XE problem, but something weird with the ODBC Manager.. or how you go about defining the alias/DSN.
You can create user or system DSN's. You need certain privs (in your Windows account) to enable ODBC Admin to write the required changes to disk for that DSN. Etc.
I suggest focusing on these aspects as I strongly doubt that Oracle itself is part of the problem in this case.

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998

Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

Max connections in Oracle 10g Express

Hi,
How much connections are possible in Oracle 10g Express ?

I do the following test:
I format the test PC, install the O.S. and install Oracle 10g Express and run the following code:
package testedb;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class TesteDB {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          List<Connection> connections = new ArrayList<Connection>();
          try
     Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     while(true)
          connections.add(DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@albatroz:1521:XE", "system", "xxx"));
          //connections.add(DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@albatroz:1521:MYDB", "system", "xxx"));
          System.out.println("connections: "+connections.size());
     catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
     System.out.println ("Could not load the driver");
     e.printStackTrace ();
     } catch (SQLException e) {
          System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------");
               System.out.println("Qtd of connections: "+connections.size());
               System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------");
               e.printStackTrace();
After the first test I format again the PC, install the O.S. and install Oracle 10g Standard and run the same code, changing only the database name.
Well, I get the following results:
- Oracle 10g Express: I get 19 connections;
- Oracle 10g Standard: I get 181 connection;
Final report:
With the same hardware (1GB RAM) and O.S. (Windows XP Professional) test, the Oracle 10g Express has any restrictions at the question max connections.

Access 2007 ODBC connect to Oracle 10g

I have configured MSAccess 2007 on my laptop with a ODBC data source to my Oracle Database and I can link to tables in the Oracle database and everything works.
I have placed the Access Database on a 64 bit server running Window 2003 r2 Enterprise x64 edition.
I have both the 32 bit Oracle 10g client and the 64 bit client installed on the machine.
I have configured a 32bit ODBC data source using the 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver.
When I click on the test connection button while setting up the data source it reports "Connection Successful"
I have configured the registry entires (for 32 bit and 64bit) with TNS_ADMIN =the location where we have our sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files.
These files were configured to support the applications which run on this same server and they all function properly.
When I attempt to create a link table in Access, I select the datasource and I enter the password I receive an ORA-12154 error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank You

Thank YouProbably looking at the wrong tnsnames.ora.
Or your sqlnet.ora doesn't match the other with regard to DEFAULT_DOMAIN
Or your password has an "@" in it.

Problem connecting to Oracle 10g express on linux SUSE

Peace upon you,
I have downloaded the RPM file and installed it , but when i try to log in the home page using "Go to database home page" the browser says that the page is not found.
And when i type in the terminal : ./oracle-xe status
the terminal says :

TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

So what is the problem..........?

I've managed to get OracleXE working properly on my SuSE10.2 box - I found an interesting issue - did you specify that the oracle database should not start up on system boot?
(Check ORACLE_DBENABLED parameter in /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe)
If this is set to FALSE, the database will not start up. You'd need to:
su to root
su - oracle (note the '-')
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba;
startup;
exit;
lsnrctl start
- All the above is a manual startup - hope that helps....
Carl.
(PS: if you want to access the database from behind the firewall, you'll need to go into YAST, security, firewall, then advanced, and specifically open TCP port 1521, also port 8080 if you want to be able to view the web front end on another machine.... sometimes the firewall can be a pain...)

ODBC Error while Siebel Server try to connect to Oracle 10G

We have managed to get through with the configuration of siebel server on HP Unix. However before we get to the Database configuration, we are encountering errors with ODBC connection to oracle 10g database. We are able to connect to oracle using sql plus but odbc connection is failing. We verified for patches, missing files, directory access rights - but no clue as of now.
Our error says:
Logging into "ENTSIA_DEV_DAN" as "sadmin"....
/user/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so'.
ODBC error IM0003 in SQLConnect:
(DataDirect){ODBC lib} specified driver could not be loaded
Unable to login using specified odbc parameters
This has become a show stopped for us and we are strugging with this for the past three days without much direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I guess your DataDirect Driver which gets registered during Database Configuration has some problems.
Can you check whether the DSN is using the proper Driver?
Also, the username through which you are logging in to start Siebel Services must have proper rights.
Many times on Windows platform i have noticied this error in ODBC due to improper user rights. If the rights are not proper, the DataDirect Driver fails to get loaded & throws similar error.

Can not connect Oracle 10g express edition from report builder.

I have newly installed report builder . Different home was selected for Report builder and oracle. Oracle database server is also in the same machine. But i am not able to connect my oracle 10g express edition database. It throws error ORA-12154 : TNS could not resolve service name.( same error displayed while trying to connect from SQL Plus).But from toad i am able to access the database. May be because here I am able to select the proper home.
Here i am adding my tns entry
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 1ECA66A679AB494)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
can any one suggest what the actual problem is?
Thanks ..........

Hello,
Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
But be careful:
Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 ODBC Driver Always Crashes

I find that if you set up an ODBC Data Source for Oracle 10g Express Edition on Windows XP SP2 using the "Oracle in XE" driver, anything that tries to access it will crash, even the Windows ODBC Data Source Administratior if you click the "Test Connection" button.
Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
If you press OK, then it crashes and goes through the "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" process....

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but I can't get onto the XE forum.
I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/forum.html which says:
Forum registration is possible only by downloading and installing Oracle Database XE. After installation, click on the "Registration" link from the Database homepage.
However I find that the "Database Homepage" does not exist.
Choosing the Oracle XE "Go To Database Home Page" takes my browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex which is not available even though my oracle server is running and sqlplus can talk to it.
There's definitely nothing serving on tcp port 8080, as follows:
[dcampbel@clevo]~> telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Oracle 10g Express Edition - number of simultaneous connections

Goodmorning,
I'm goingo to test Oracle 10g Express Edition but I ned to know the max numbers of simultaneous connections it supports.
Many thanks to all.

Hi,
>>Can you tel me how to increase this number in oracle 10g express???
Just modifying the processes parameter is sufficient. The sessions parameter will be adjusted automatically.
