ODBC connectivity for Oracle9i database?

Hi,
We are looking at future database platform requirements for our customer service application and starting to look at Oracle 9i. Does anyone know at this early stage whether 9i will support connectivity from an older application which requires ODBC? Is it correct to assume it will have the same level of ODBC driver support as Oracle 8i?
Thanks,

I'm sure that there will be Oracle9 ODBC drivers when 9i ships. Assuming you'll be connecting only to an Oracle8 or Oracle9 database, you should be just fine.
The only possible wrinkle I can come up with would be if you're trying to connect to an Oracle7 database (or connect an Oracle7 client to a 9i database). I'm not sure this will be supported.

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?

How to connect to oracle9i database from Unix

Hi All,
How can i connect to remote oracle9i database(windows based) from Unix. I have following server information Server IP, Username , Userpassword , DataBase name.Do i need any other information to connect to server?
How can i connect database from Putty?
Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
please help me i am new to oracle .
Thanks in advance.

Oracle generally uses a special set of software, commonly called the SQLNet or Oracle Networking, as a layer to provide a connection between the client and the database server.
In general terms,
- the client software (perhaps sqlplus, an application, ODBC) calls Oracle Networking on the client computer and says "please connect to database known as 'x'";
- Oracle Networking translates the request, often by looking up 'x' in the TNSNAMES.ORA file at the client side, to get the host name, the port the Oracle listener is waiting on, and the name of the database service to access;
- Oracle Networking contacts the computer on the required port. If the listener is there, the Oracle Networking client asks for a connection to the database service;
- The Listener (if it recognizes it) asks the database service for a 'server process';
- The database starts up a server process which grabs a network port and tells the listener which port was obtained;
- The listener tells Oracle Networking on the client which port to use;
- The client disconnects from the Listener, and reconnects at that port;
- The server process starts authentication and session initialization, after which we are good to go.
In answer to your questions:
1) How can i connect database from Putty?
That implies you want to telnet to the Windows box and run the client stuff locally on the Windows box. So that means you need to look at telnet or ssh documentation - this has nothing to do with Oracle.
2) Do i need to install SQL on the Unix to connect to oracle server?
Not really. It does mean you might want to install an Oracle CLIENT (see the download section of http://otn.oracle.com) which will initiate the sequence as above.
A different sort of client is SQL Developer, a Java-based GUI with it's own built-in Oracle Networking, that displays database stuff. That is also offered by Oracle at the same download page.
3) and which C/C++ API i have to use to access tables from the remote oracle server?
Oracle provides a C/C++ API as a pre-processor, called Pro*C. I suspect this si way beyond what you want right now.
4) please help me i am new to oracle .
Please, please, please, please, please ..... please .... purchase and read http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oressentials3/

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...

VS 2005 ODBC Connection for CR XI Report

Post Author: Mohan56
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
In VS 2005, I am using the CrystalReportViewer to display my report on Windows Form. This report uses the ODBC connection (defined in System Data Sources Name (DSN) as infimacs) to an Informix database, using NewEra Informix7 driver. In Crystal Reports XI, when I run the report a window pops up (first time and not on refresh) prompting me to enter Login and Password for the ODBC connection and also does to same thing in the Windows Form. My question is how do I pass this Login/Password info from VS 2005 to CR XI, so the Login/Password window is not displayed to the end user ? Following is the current code which is not working. I am a new user of VB and CR and I thank you in advance. Mohan56
Case "Inventory Costed - WIP"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "ServerName"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DB"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.UserID = "User"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.Password = "pwd"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Me.InventoryCosted

The following fixed this issue, and ReportSource must be defined before Login Info

Odbc failure for Siebel database server configuration

Hi all,
I am installing siebel 7.8.2 in my system. I am using oracle 10g...
I have installed siebel gateway name server .
After siebel server installation and configuration,
I was checking for ODBC connectivity as given in manual but i am getting the following error:
Cannot validate username/password combination.
HY000: [DATA direct] [ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle] Ora-12538: TNS: no such protocol adapter
further details are:
I have installed Oracle 10g application server(both oracleasinfra and oracleasmidtier)... my oracle_home is oracleasinfra... and my running listener is also infrastructure listener... and my siebel database where i have run grantusr.sql script is also database which is in oracleasinfra...
Please help me out?

Hi Manuel Dias,
I believe those information would be easily found out through SQL Server 2005 references or guides. There may not have any special needs for B1 database.

Any equivalent for "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server"?

Dear all
I'm interesting on the Oracle course named "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server" - [D16665GC10|http://education.oracle.co.uk/html/oracle/68US/D16665GC10.htm]
AFAIK as Oracle 9i is unsupported, I don't belive that I can find this course available anywhere. So my question is: "Is there any equivalent for above course for 10g/11g?"
Thanks in advance

Yes, those are excellent materials. A lot of the material is covered in the DBA 1 & 2 courses, but not as focused and not as 'in depth'. I encourage that you write directly to Oracle University and ask them to upgrade the seminar. (Tell them I'd be happy to update/deliver it. ;-))
An alternative, and possibly even better, is to watch for (or ask for) a local presentation by Jonathan Lewis and/or Cary Millsap (Method R)

JDBC-ODBC bridge for MSSQL database

Hi,
I have SAP 2 MSSQL synchronous scenario and I need to select data from MS SQL 2005 database located on the remote system via XI 3.0. The database provides only ODBC access. I am using JDBC receiver and I would like to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as a driver. I searched this forum, but the most of threads describe, how to connect to MS Access database, which is not my case. I used XI JDBC/FTP connection Test and XML Validation Application described in SAP Note 1085539 to test it. I used the following settings:
Driver Class (fully qualified)   sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
JDBC URL                          jdbc:odbc:Driver://<host IP>;databaseName=<name>
User Name                         my username
Password                           my password
I got the following error:
Exception Occurred : [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Exception Stack Trace : java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
     at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6958)
     at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7115)
My questions are: Is it possible to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver in this scenario? If so, what should I put as JDBC URL? Do I need to create DSN on the XI system? (it is a Windows NT based machine).
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Have you already deployed the drivers (msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar) ??
If so,
The JDBC drivers should be:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
And the connection should be:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hostname:1433;DatabaseName=name
else
For the drivers:

ODBC connectivity for ORACLE RDB

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

CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 0
I restarted the TNS Listener service. Then, I have created DB link using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE LINK hsodbc
CONNECT TO <user_name> IDENTIFIED BY <password>
USING 'hsodbc';
When I executed the following query, I am getting the following error message:

Could not get connections for 2 databases at the same time

Hi, I have a session bean which calls 2 entity beans in one method. The 2 entity
beans are located in different databases (different datasources and different
pools). When running, I got the following error:
Couldn't get connection:
java.sql.SQLException: Connection has already been created in this tx context
for pool named iitga_jdbc. Illegal attempt to create connection from another pool:
iitdbmap_jdbc
It seems WebLogic only allows one database connection within one method.
Thanks,

Hi Henry,
If you want two beans bound to different database, you need
to use XA pools with TXDataSources because in this case you
have a distributed transaction.
Set up you pools using XA drivers and make sure you use
TXDatasources.
If you tell us which database you use we may come up with
sample pool configurations.
