ODBC driver patch

I'm trying to find the Oracle v7.3 ODBC driver version 2.5.3.1.7 for use with the Oracle v8.04 database. This is the only version of the driver certified to work with a third party data warehousing toolset. This is a patch containing 3 updated items - SQO32_73.DLL, SQO32S73.DLL, and RELNOTES.WRI. The Oracle download page only contains version 2.5.3.1.0b which is earlier release than one I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can find this item?

The purpose of the set point is to allow us to roll back some change to a temporary table. We don't want the changes to be committed. So I set a set point at the beginning of the procedure and roll them back at the end (line 14). That is where it fails. It fails weather I have a set point or not when the rollback is called from ODBC.

Since we have been facing this issue for a long time, we decided on making use of the SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT value before we issue a SQLConnect, but that driver doesn't seem to like that option even though it says its 3.5 compliant
lRetcode = SQLSetConnectAttr( OD_DBDBC(pCtx), SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT,(SQLUINTEGER )10, SQL_IS_UINTEGER );
Setup details
Oracle 10g Release 1 Enterprise database server
App has been built using VC++6 and is running on Win2003 Enterprise Server
Our analysis has shows that the network was fine as other apps were able to connect to the database at that time
Question
1. Is this a Driver related issue? Because when we were using Merant ODBC driver, everything seems to be working fine!
2. Is there some patch that is out there which might resolve this issue?
If you all folks could help or provide some kind of advice , i would really appreciate that.
regards,
GG

Well, do you have a code example that causes it? Don't take this the wrong way, but I've seen more than a few badly written multi-threaded applications which do nothing but corrupt memory and use handles in non-threadsafe ways; all of which cause issues which rear their ugly heads in various odd ways. It may also be an Oracle bug, but comparing two different drivers does not mean it's not your application causing the crash as well.
If you could provide a quick little code sample which causes the issue, I'll take a look at it for you.

Crystal Report Oracle ODBC driver invalid Thai character display problem

Hi,
   My server has CR Oracle ODBC 5.1 installed on last week. We have several reports in the servers which called by our Application to export to text file and pdf file. Sometimes, the output (both text file and pdf file) can't display Thai character correctly. The text file show Thai character in question mark and pdf file show in square box. This problem occur randomly and disappear without doing anything. Sometimes the problem occur for an hour and gone but sometimes occur 10-15 minutes and gone. This problem also not happen every days. Once the problem occur, all reports with Thai character will fail.
   However, we have another server installed the same Application, same OS level, same OS patches and same CR Oracle ODBC driver version installed on the same time as above server (the problem server). This server does not have any problems.
   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Noppadon S.

Hi Noppadon,
Thank you for the info. If it happens randomly in their application then it's something they need to debug. Could even be in the ODBC driver.
I suggest you tell them that because it works sometimes it shows the issue is likely in their software because if it failed all the time then it would be in Crystal dll's. They need to debug the problem, suggest they use tools like Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com to step through to see where or what part is failing. If they having logging abilities that may help to find out what step is failing and in which API.
At this point we have no way of determining where the problem is, it's failing in their application and no one but them know what or how they are using CR runtime files.
If you can duplicate the problem using Crystal Report Designer then it's our problem, if not they have to help you to show us it is a CR issue.
Sorry we can't be of more help but without know their code we can't suggest anything to try. Suggest they log a call with support here to help them debug the problem if they don't know what to do.
Thank you
Don

Cannot see ODBC driver as a data source

Hi
I've installed both the Win32 and Win64 11.2g clients on our Win2008R2sp1 server.
I can get my connection to test fine from c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe (the 32bit ODBC Admin panel), and from sqlplus and sqldeveloper (all on the "client_2" x32bit product).
I've set ORACLE_HOME to the 32bit product.
D:\>echo %ORACLE_HOME%
D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2
I have Strawberry Perl x32 installed and a x32bit VB Application. Neither will connect.
Perl...
D:\>perl -MDBI -le "my $h = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:dbase02',rouser,rouser); $h->disconnect()"DBI connect('dbase02','rouser',...) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002) at -e line 1
On my App I get
S1000: [oracle]p[ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
As I've said, the System DSN is on the 32bit ODBC Panel and is 'test's fine from there.
Oddly enough I have a few identical servers where I'd set up connections that work fine, using the same setup. Could be we've had a patch that messed things up? Any ideas on how to get roud the SQL-IM002 or ORA-12560 error would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: on servers where we have a working System DSN, if I simply clone it (open existing, change TNS Name and Identified and Save) the cloned 'new' System DSN works fine. However if I create it from scratch it does not! So something is prohibiting me from creating new System DSN entries that are accepted/read by the ODBC Driver???
Many Thanks
Kieran

SQLGetDiagRecW is buggy in the ODBC driver for linux

We have been using the Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server on Linux with a Qt based application and noticed that error messages are truncated and end with a string of garbage.
We traced it down to the point where the driver manager in unixODBC calls SQLGetDiagRecW on the driver.
This is the signature of the SQLGetDiagRec function, which shares the interface with its wide char counterpart, as described in this documentation page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms716256(v=vs.85).aspx
SQLRETURN SQLGetDiagRec(
SQLSMALLINT HandleType,
SQLHANDLE Handle,
SQLSMALLINT RecNumber,
SQLCHAR * SQLState,
SQLINTEGER * NativeErrorPtr,
SQLCHAR * MessageText,
SQLSMALLINT BufferLength,
SQLSMALLINT * TextLengthPtr);
The function is called twice, once with a null pointer as
MessageText to obtain the length of the message text in characters in the
TextLengthPtr parameter. Once this is obtained, Qt then allocates a buffer large enough to hold that number of characters.
It is important to note that we are dealing with wide characters here, so each character is two bytes.
Now Qt calls SQLGetDiagRecW, this time with MessageText pointing to the newly allocated buffer and it's length (in characters) as the BufferLength parameter.
Only now the function seems to interpret this BufferLength as size of the buffer in bytes, and since it has not enough space to write its text, it writes only half of the message in MessageText and returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.
Unfortunately Qt treats this return code the same way it treats a SQL_SUCCESS so we never get the other half.
However, the fact remains that the driver is outputting sizes in characters and then interpreting them as sizes in bytes.
In the documentation linked above, both BufferLength and TextLengthPtr are described in terms of
characters. But I also notice that a bit further down, it mentions StringLengthPtr in terms of
bytes.
We found also this KB article ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/kbview/243526?wa=wsignin1.0 ) that seems to imply that the description was such that matches the observed behavior, but while the description has been changed, the wrong behavior
remains.
I've tried to report this in the Connect site but it has been impossible, I always get an error saying that I'm not authorized. Anybody knows how else I can reach the developers?
For now we have patched unixODBC to duplicate the value of the output TextLengthPtr on the first call, so that Qt allocates twice the amount of memory than it is really needed. This is done as a safer counterpart to telling
the driver we have double the space, since that would bring problems if and when the driver is fixed.

I suspect you just need to get rid of the 'as rcount' clause in your select statement.

DG4ODBC is available for linux 64bit, but i need to buy ODBC driver??

Hi guys,
I need to connect to Microsoft SQL Server from Oracle rdbms 10.2.0.3 on linux_64bit platform and I've read that HSODBC DOES NOT AVAILABLE ON 64BIT PLATFORM.
So DG4ODBC can run with Oracle Version 10.2.0.3 (patch 5965763 is mandatory) but the Note:561033.1 says to buy a ODBC vendors driver..
I don't understand, i need to install DG4ODBC for Heterogeneous Connectivity but it works only throught other ODBC vendor driver? so i need to buy ODBC license for my aim.
There isn't any workaround for it? some opensource driver or method for connect to external SQL server without any cost effort?
thanks very much!
Andrea

Yes, you are right. DG4ODBC offers only the option to connect to the foreign database using an ODBC driver; but there is NO ODBC driver shipped with it.
There are some ODBC drivers outside (like freetds.org) for free, but there is no guarantee it will work with DG4ODBC as they commonly do not offer the functionality like a commercial ODBC driver from DataDirect or Easysoft does.
If you do not want to pay for a commerical ODBC driver then think about moving DG4ODBC to the SQL Server or any other 32bit Windows machine as you can then here use the SQL Server ODBC driver shipped with the OS or with the MDAC.
DG4ODBC is now a gateway and thus independant from the Oracle database (another improvement compared to HSODBC).
You can then connect from the database on Linux to the gateway on Windows which uses the SQL Server ODBC driver for Windows and connects to the SQL Server.

Crystal Reports Ver 11 Logon Failed IM014 [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver manager

Please help. I am using Crystal Reports Version 11. I have Windows 7 and 64-bit browser. I am receiving the following error message: Details: IM014: [Microcsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application.

Hello,
Two issues, CR XI is not support on Windows 7. To get this working upgrade to Cr XI R2 SP 6 for free, use your XI keycode.
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe
and then
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100015859952009E/crxir2win_sp6.exe
Do not run CR between patches, When SP 6 is installed then CR should work.
Next issue is CR is a 32 bit application only and it will run on 64 bit OS's but it will not support any 64 bit third party applications including IE. To connect to your database you must use the 32 bit client.
Run the ODBC Administrator from the \syswow64 folder to create your DSN.
Thank you

Oracle ODBC Driver unsupported?

Hello,
I was reviewing the Oracle 10g Release 2, Release Notes for hp-ux PA-RISC (64-bit) and saw this:
-====================-
2 Unsupported Products
The following products are not supported with Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2):

-====================-
Does that mean that Oracle's ODBC driver is not supported to connect to an Oracle 10g Release 2 DB?

Hello,
I downloaded the gateway package of Oracle version 11.1.0.6.0, and installed Informix gateway driver. I made the necessary settings, and i have exactly the same problem, as described above.
I receive error message "OracleODBC Informix Wire Protocol driverUnsupported Informix Server version.OracleODBC Informix Wire Protocol driverInvalid attribute in connection string: ArraySize.OracleODBC Informix Wire Protocol driverInvalid attribute in connection string: TruncateOversizedColumnValues." when trying to set up a connection from Oracle to Informix 7.3. I read here, that there is a patch of Informix gateway: fix 6799360, which is unfortunately not available for for download for Windows XP. I cannot search MetaLink for this problem, because I just would like to test this Oracle feature, I did not buy Oracle license.
Does anybody know about this patch? Can anybody help how could I make working this Informix gateway?
Thanks for help, Gyula

ODBC Driver with VC++ Application

Problem description.
For example if we are reading the EMP table with the following SQL,
select * from emp order by empno;
Step 1: We are reading the EMPNO = 7369 (1st Record)
Column COMM value read will be NULL
Step 2: After that when we read EMPNO = 7499 (2nd record)
Column COMM value read will be 300
Step 3: After that when we read EMPNO = 7521 (3rd record)
Column COMM value read will be 500
Step 4: After that when we read EMPNO = 7566 (4th record)
Column COMM value read will be 500 even though there is no value for COMM in the table.
Please note that we will not be able to change the Application code for this problem resolution.
We request you to give us some solution ASAP.

Can't see the odbc driver in windows 7

hallo everybody
I've just installed the oracle instant client 11.2.0.2.0 on a windows 7 machine. when i execute the file odbc_install the returned prompt is "Oracle ODBC Driver is installed successfully.". then when i go to system -> administration -> data sources (odbc) i can't see no oracle odbc driver. what wrong?
Edited by: 906540 on 07.01.2012 11:37

Great you have figured it out finally. Just thought you should know that there is a bug in 11gR2 client and because of that Oracle driver version is shown as 11.1.0.7 instead of 11.2.0.2. This can be confusing 6 months or a year later down the road if you wanted to go back and upgrade your client to, let's say' 12g. To fix this, there is a patch available from Oracle metalink, patch id is p11731183 for 32bit and p11731184 for 64bit windows. This bug is mentioned in 1308617.1

OWB connection to teradata through ODBC driver

Hi:
I am seeking answers to my OWB connection settings. I have installed OWB 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 server. The Oracle 10g database is on the same server. Right now, I want to configure ODBC connection for OWB to source database (all on teradata) on my windows 2003 server. However, I found from control panel
/Adminstrative tool/Data source (ODBC), there is no teradata driver in ODBC administrator. (It is available on windows XP). How can I solve this problem?
OWB perform ETL workflow through OWB server and source database. The connection between OWB server and source database must be set up. If no teradata ODBC driver, is there any other way to work around. Or should I update windows 2003 server to patch teradata ODBC driver to it? Please give me your idea and your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

ODBC driver not recognized by Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator

Using Windows XP Professional with all patches. I installed Oracle 10g Client, then removed ODBC driver and loaded 10.1.0.1.3 ODBC driver. Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator will not see this driver. (It also didn't see the previous driver, which is why I tried the new one.) The driver is in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI) properly configured. It was not in the odbcinst.ini (Windows directory) file however, so I manually added it. I found directions on this site to be sure the drivers were loaded in the Oracle home directory, which is where I put them.

Hi Joe,
According to your description, after you run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, Access driver is not displayed when you expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI node.
The issue is caused by wrong path of odbccad32, please make sure that you are using Administrator account or you have administrative privileges, then refer to the following steps:
Go to Control Panel.
Click Administrative Tools.
Right-click Data Sources(ODBC) to open Properties dialog box.

ORA 2005 error when you using ODBC driver of 10.2.0.3

I am getting following error when connecting Oracle 10.2.0.3 to Oracle 11.1 database from a thrid part application:
Issue Description. An application using Oracle ODBC driver version 10.2.0.3 to communicate with the Oracle database 11g tries to update the field “SOURCE_CODE” of LONG data type in table “SUBROUTINE” returns the following error.
ORA-02005: Implict -1 length not valid for the bind or dfeine datatype.
I updated my client to 10.2.0.4,, error is still present. Does any one know what patch to install to get rid of this error. I cannot modify the third party code.

What are the system requirements (supported config) of 3rd party app?
According to the 9.2 Error Messages document,
>
ORA-02005 implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype
Cause: A negative length for the define variable was passed to a define function.
Action: An explicit, non-negative, length parameter must be passed.
>
Perhaps you should report this back to vendor as a bug.
You could also turn on odbc tracing (driver/dsn config) to catch the cuplrit statement.

ODBC Driver V8.00.58.00 Error

Hi
I am experimenting an Oracle ODBC error while selecting more than 2500 records from a database table.
Does anyone known the cause of the error?
Thanks in advance.
==== ENVIRONMENT DESCRIPTION ====
The database server is ORACLE Version 8.0.5.2.1
My database table has the following structure:
CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE
PK_PKEY NUMBER(9) NOT NULL ,
FK_FKEY1 NUMBER(9) NOT NULL ,
FK_FKEY2 NUMBER(5) NOT NULL ,
FIELD1 NUMBER(1) NOT NULL ,
FIELD2 NUMBER(5) NOT NULL ,
CONSTRAINT MY_TABLE_FILED1 CHECK(FIELD1 BETWEEN 0 AND 1),
CONSTRAINT PK_MY_TABLE_KEY PRIMARY KEY (PK_PKEY)
The table is populated with 3000 records where FIELD1 is always equal to 1 (this value is relevant for the queries).
The application that executes the queries to the table is written in Visual C++ 6.0, the database connection is made through ODBC datasouce using the MFC ODBC database classes (CDatabase and CRecordset).
The Oracle client installed to access the database server is from version: ORACLE ODBC driver - Version 8.00.58.00 - Oracle Corporation SQORA32.DLL 1/5/00.
The SQL queries executed in the application are:
QUERY1: SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table
QUERY2: SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table where FIELD1=1
QUERY3: SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table where FIELD1=1 ORDER BY pk_pkey
The C++ application only creates a CDatabase object (m_cDatabase.OpenEx((LPCTSTR)_T(DSN=tc1;UID=myuser;PWD=mypwd))) and a CRecordset object with the previous created database connection. The queries are executed using a simple procedure described in the end of the email.
I test several combinations using the queries described above and the results are quite different. The combinations performed where:
TEST1 - First QUERY2 then QUERY3 RESULT 1
TEST2 - First QUERY1 then QUERY3 RESULT 1
TEST3 - First QUERY3 then QUERY2 RESULT 2
TEST4 - First QUERY3 then QUERY1 RESULT 1
TEST5 - First QUERY1 then QUERY2 RESULT 1
TEST6 - First QUERY2 then QUERY1 RESULT 3
TEST7 - First QUERY1 then QUERY1 RESULT 3
TEST8 - First QUERY2 then QUERY2 RESULT 3
TEST9 - First QUERY3 then QUERY3 RESULT 3
== RESULT DESCRIPTIONS ==
- RESULT 1
The first query is executed successfully but the application catches a database exception when executing the second query.
Database Exception: Restricted data type attribute violation
State: 07006, Native:0, Origin:[ORACLE][ODBC]
- RESULT 2
The first query is executed successfully but the application crash while executing the second query.
The application does not catch any database exception.
The crash description is:
Unhanded exception Application.exe (SQORA32.DLL):0xC0000005 Access Violation
- RESULT 3
The queries returned the expected results. No errors where reported.
==== END OF ENVIRONMENT DESCRIPTION ====
*** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ***
1. Each test generates a log file where it is possible to confirm the results of the tests.
2. Another element is that the number of times the first query is consecutive executed before the second one does not influence the result of the tests.
3. The error is reported always after the 2500 record is fetch.
4. I executed exactly the same test where the only modification was the version of the ODBC driver used in the client and the tests ran successfully. The results are correct if the client driver is one of the following:
ORACLE ODBC driver - Version 8.01.05.00 - Oracle Corporation SQORA32.DLL 16/02/1999
ORACLE ODBC driver - Version 8.00.05.00 - Oracle Corporation SQORA32.DLL 06/12/1998
5. I also executed the tests with the ORACLE ODBC driver version 8.00.59.00 and the results where the same as from driver v8.00.58.00
6. If I create a restriction in the queries to return less than 2500 records the test are performed successful in all drivers.
== PROCEDURE ==
All the queries are executed in a simple procedure like:
bool CTesteDBDlg::ExecuteTeste(void)
int nIndex = 1;
CString strSQL;
CString strText;
try
CRecordset cRecordset(&m_cDatabase);
strSQL.Format(_T("SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table"));
//strSQL.Format(_T("SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table WHERE field1=1"));
//strSQL.Format(_T("SELECT pk_pkey FROM my_table WHERE field1=1 ORDER BY pk_pkey"));
if(!cRecordset.Open(CRecordset::snapshot, (LPCTSTR)strSQL,
CRecordset::readOnly))
return false;
CString strDBValue;
while(!cRecordset.IsEOF())
cRecordset.GetFieldValue((int)0, strDBValue);
LOG_DEBUG_MESSAGE(eLow,(_T("ExecuteTeste1: Index=%ld - Value=%s"), nIndex, strDBValue));
nIndex++;
cRecordset.MoveNext();
catch(CDBException* pDBException)
TCHAR szCauze[256];
pDBException->GetErrorMessage(szCauze, 255);
LOG_DEBUG_MESSAGE(eLow,(_T("Database Exception: Code=%d - Desc = %s"), pDBException->m_nRetCode, szCauze));
return false;
return true;
null

Mr. Cordeiro sent me the project and data he's using. When I run the test program on my 8.0.6 client machine with the 8.0.6 ODBC driver, I see no failures. When I run the test program on my 8.1.6 client machine with the 8.1.6.1 driver, however, I see the problems Mr. Cordeiro describes. If I install the current evelopment build of our 8.1.6 driver, however, the problems disappear. Unfortunately, I don't have an 8.0.5 client machine to test on right now.
I suspect that the problem here has been identified previously, has already been fixed, and will be shipped with the next release of the driver.
My only hesitation here is that the 8.0.5.8 and 8.0.6.0 ODBC drivers are identical code, just linked with different client libraries, so it's unclear why the 8.0.6 client is working while the 8.0.5 client, apparently, is failing. It is possible that there is/was a bug in one of the layers under the ODBC driver which is causing the problem and that different versions of our code hit or miss this problem. I would strongly suggest that you apply the latest Oracle patch kit for your client (i.e. 8.0.5.2.6 for the 8.0.5 client) to see if that fixes your problem. These patch kits are available from the Oracle FTP site-
