ODBC Drivers for Oracle 8.1.6 Doesn't work on Windows ME

Hello. I am in the need of running some aplications (ArcView, in fact) that needs connection to an Oracle 8.1.6 installed on a sun ultra machine. My client machine runs that awful Windows ME.
The matter is that i've tried installing the Oracle 8i Client, the Oracle 8i Enterprise Manager, and even the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cache (that had worked to me earlier over Win98).
All of that clients use the Oracle Universal Installer (Java-Based) and when is time for choose the oracle_home for installation that doesn't appear, just the box ready for enter the destination path. I did that, the installer reads the package list and then there are en error message: "There was a problem in the staging area. Please check the source an destination paths are correct". And, of course, that paths are good. Trying to install just the odbc driver (downloaded), causes the same. Anyway the driver needs the net client.
I've tried installing Oracle 8 client (8.0.4), but the drivers doesn't work at all.
the microsoft ODBC driver is just for 7.3 versions of Oracle, and is too out of date for my purposes.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Last I heard, the Oracle client wasn't certified on Windows ME. There are folks who have posted to the Oracle newsgroups with registry hacks to work around the problem if you're interested in going down that path.

  • ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

    Hi all-
    I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
    either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
    Current configuration
    - Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
    - Oracle 10g Database (target)
    - MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
    -Windows XP
    -ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
    Errors:
    I. When I test the ODBC connection:
    Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
    Running connectivity tests...
    Attempting connection
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
    TESTS FAILED!
    Now here is what has me totally confused:
    I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
    Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
    Thanks

    1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
    2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread.  The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft.  As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
    out to be the correct solution.  I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night.  Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!"  which means "WELL DONE!!
    3. Tom Li I just posted the question less than 48 hours ago.  My last post was less than 24 hours ago.  I think I have the right to be given the opportunity to determine whether a reply is the answer or not. I understand you don't like unanswered
    posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.)  But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out. 
    You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question.  I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K.  I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
    the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases."  So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced.  So before you mark a reply
    as an answer read the question.

  • 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

  • Where can I find the ODBC driver for ORACLE XE

    Hi,
    Please help me in urgent. Where can I download the ODBC driver for Oracle XE?
    The OTN site I had visited but cannot find the suitable ODBC drive for Oracle XE, or (but, I am not sure) the ODBC 10g is suitable I had downloaded it but require Oracle Universal Installer to install.

    Have you checked the OTN site?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odbc/index.html
    Update: Drivers for 10g should work with XE. Can't say anything about the installation procedure, since I don't use/install ODBC.

  • 64 bit Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle

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

    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.

    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?

    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]

  • 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.

    thanks for ur reply...
    for oracle 10g -----> we use XE as datasourse
    name..What?
    now i am using oracle 8i...Not so from the code you posted. Didn't I see "jdbc:odbc:..." in your first post?
    so what should i
    write...in the datasourse name...that means.......
    Connection
    con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@loc
    alhost:1521:????????","scott","tiger");Do you really use the default username and password?
    What should i write in place of ?????????..The name of the database you wish to connect to, of course.
    Do you have your tnsnames.ora set up properly? Did you install this database?
    None of this has ANYTHING to do with the error you posted, of course. Fix that first and then worry about the thin driver. At least it appears that the code you posted managed to connect to the database.
