ODBC Connectivity for Oracle 8.1.6

Hi, I am trying to find odbc.ini file so as to connect using ODBC, but am not being successful. Can anybody help?

Are you trying to connect to a Linux database from a Windows client, or are you trying to connect from a Linux client? Which ODBC driver are you using?

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
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

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?

ODBC connectivity for ORACLE RDB

Hi,
I am trying to configure ODBC Agent with oracle to access ORACLE RDB.
I have installed ORACLE RDB ODBC driver and created SYSTEM DSN named
"dcprdb".
My configuration files are as follows

Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax

Hi,
This is Sathish, I am trying to create a report and retrieve data through stored procedure using ODBC Connection. When connecting to the Stored Procedure it is showing Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax error or access violation' Error.
CRXI R2, Oracle 9i.
What do i do to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sathish

Hi Satish
It could be an issue with the driver.
You can try with the OLEDB n Oracle native connection to test if the issue persists.
Also you can refer to the [Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e&overridelayout=true]

Re: 32 Bit ODBC Driver for Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

Hi,
Were you able to resolve the problem with these troubleshooting measures ?
Please let me know since i am facing similar issues like yours.
I am using a Windows 7 64 bit and from QTP installed on this machine , i am trying to connect to Oracle database.
Now initially i installed a 64 bit ODBC for Oracle . But when i did that and ran the Script below :
Set objDatabase = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")
objDatabase.open "DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1} ; DATA SOURCE=Oracle; SERVER= xyz ; DATABASE=abc1; UID=abc ; PASSWORD= abc123;"
rs.Open "select * from tablename", objDatabase
'result1 = objDatabase.Execute("select * from tablename")
'msgbox result1
Do while not rs.eof
print rs.fields("columnname")
rs.movenext
Loop
print rs.fields("columnname")
it gives me an error
“[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application”
So i am assuming that i need to install the 32 bit ODBC drivers for Oracle as well in addition to the already installed 64 bit drivers ..
Any thoughts on this ?

64 bit apps need 64 bit Oracle client software.
32 bit apps need 32 bit Oracle client software.
You should be able to tell the bit-ness of the app by checking the Process tab in task manager to see if it has *32 next to it.
You can install both 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle client software on the same box, but you need to do it into different homes, and different oracle_base should also be used.
There isnt an Oracle client install bundle that installs both, you'll need to do each separately.
Hope it helps,
Greg

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:

Thank you for your response.

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,

ODBC: connect from oracle to filmaker pro 7 to extract data

sorry for the cross post, i posted this in th ODBC forum, but that's in the windows.net subhead, so idunno.
here is is again:
we have a filemaker pro server and some of the data needs to be imported weekly into an oracle database.
my understanding is this can be done and it is roughed out in the "FileMaker 7 ODBC and JDBC Developer's Guide"...available here if anyone is interested:http://filemaker.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/filemaker.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5337
however, i know nothing about oracle, but i don't need to since there are people on staff to deal with that. i am presenting this connection option as the best way for the oracle guys here to get the data they need. the other option is for them (non-filemaker savvy people) doing exports and importing them into oracle. they don't want to do this because they don't like filemaker. i believe this whole process would be easier if i keep the oracle guys in what they know and love, oracle. once the extract was properly set up it could be done as cron job. all done.
so my question is, how would one accomplish this?
broad strokes that i could give to the oracle people to direct them.
i figure they could build a small custom app to do this, but i have no idea what is involved with that. or, perhaps the oracle application has the ability to run scripts?
any pointers would be helpful.
thanks!

You can use Filemaker's built-in ODBC capability to push data from the FMP database into Oracle. Then you as a FMP developer can take responsibility for getting the data into Oracle and the Oracle guys don't have to deal with FMP at all.
You will need an ODBC driver for Oracle, and an ODBC DSN configured for connecting to the Oracle database. Then you will need to write a simple FMP script that traverses the FMP records you want to push and generate a SQL string that you pass to the Execute SQL script step. Here is an example:
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Execute SQL [No dialog; DSN: myDSN;
Calculated SQL Text: "UPDATE products_description
SET products_viewed=" & myFMPDatabase::Products_Viewed
& " WHERE products_id=" & myFMPDatabase::Products_ID]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last]
End Loop
This assumes that you have an account with write access to the Oracle database, you understands its schema, and have enough knowledge of SQL to write simple INSERT / UPDATE statements.

Result Sets with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle

Howdy all.
I have an Oracle database that I have migrated from MSSQL2K. My front end is mostly VB, and I have many (hundreds) DLL's that use ADO to access the database and execute stored procedures in the database. I cannot seem to get result sets from the Oracle procedures. I have tried passing a SYS_REFCURSOR as an IN OUT parameter, and I have tried returning a SYS_REFCURSOR in a function. The Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle does not seem to handle the ref cursors. If I use the Oracle ODBC driver, then ref cursors are handled sort of magically. Just like the result sets are in MSSQL with the SQL Server ODBC Driver.
The question that I would like to pose to anybody willing to answer is this: Is there any way to use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle without changing the way I do the database access (using ADO connection/command/recordset objects)? I need the same DLL's to work on top of both MSSQL and Oracle.
I know that what I want to do is possible using the Oracle ODBC driver, but this will take some major changes to some of my DB components. I am trying to stay away from this, but it looks like I am going to have to go that route - that is unless somebody wows me with a good answer to this post.

As you are using Microsoft driver which works in XP and does not on Win 2003 you should post this on microsoft forum.

You don't need a DSN if you use Oracle's JDBC driver.
You didn't read ANY of the previous replies. What makes you think this one willk help? Or any instruction, for that matter?

64 bit Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle

Hi,
Does Microsoft provide a 64 bit ODBC Driver for Oracle and where we can get it?

Hello,
I am trying to create ODBC connection to Oracle 9i Database on remote server. I am using Windows 2008 64-bit but it is not showing Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle. Could any one suggest what to do?\\
ThanksInstall the Oracle client and use the Oracle driver. You're going to need it whether you use the MS driver or Oracles. ODBC drivers do not work apart from the client of the underlying database product.
When you do the install, you will need to do a custom install and specifically select for the Windows components.
