ODBC Drivers on 8.1.6 database

Does anybody know if Oracle ODBC Drivers other than 8.1.6 will work with an 8.1.6 database?

Any driver should work with an 8.1.6 database. You'll want the driver that corresponds to the version of your Oracle client (i.e. 8.1.5.6 on an 8.1.5.x.x client, 8.0.5.9 on an 8.0.5.x.x client).

64-bit ColdFusion 9 ODBC drivers confusion? (architecture mismatch)

Hi all - I'm having problems setting up ColdFusion ODBC sources in a pure 64-bit environment. Server specs:
Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit)
ColdFusion 9.01 (251028) Enterprise, 64-bit
I have 64-bit ODBC drivers for all of my database sources:
64-bit SQL Server (bundled with Windows 2008 R2)
64-bit MS Access 2010 (with 64-bit Access ODBC driver from Office 2010 64-bit install)
64-bit ODBC drivers for Sybase SQL Anywhere 11 (from SyBase)
Using the (64-bit) ODBC Administrator, I can create system DSNs and they test out perfectly. (From my test Access database, I can use these DSNs to pull data from SQL Server and from SQL Anywhere.) Since this is working, I'm pretty confident that my drivers are all 64-bit and that everything is happy.
Now for ColdFusion...
When I try to create a new data source in the ColdFusion Administrator and I use, the "ODBC Socket" option, I am presented with a drop-down list of my 64-bit ODBC system DSNs (good!), but whenever I select one and save, I invariably get an "architecture mismatch" error like below:
Connection verification failed for data source: MSSQLtestDatabase
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
I am well aware that "architecture mismatch" errors mean that you're trying to mix 32-bit drivers with a 64-bit application (or vice-versa), but I'm pretty sure that everything in my environment is 64-bit.
As a further test, I created a few 32-bit ODBC system DSNs and the ColdFusion Administrator does not present them as options in the drop-down list of ODBC DSNs (good!). So, it seems like the Administrator is smart enough to show only the 64-bit DSNs, but whenever you try to connect to one, it gets confused and kicks up an "architecture mismatch" error.
So is there any obvious configuration error here? Is there a 32-bit subcomponent to ColdFusion (JDBC, etc.) that's confusing things? (I ran the ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe setup downloaded from Adobe's site.) Is 64-bit ColdFusion ready for prime time? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe

OK, just did a little Googling for you about this, Josie (and others). There seem to be a few alternative solutions, each with pros and cons.
The easiest, though, may be to simply use the 32-bit (instead of default 64bit) ODBC control panel, and then again use the MS Access driver in the CF Admin (not the ODBC socket one) to point to that. This is discussed here:
http://www.cfexecute.com/post/access-dsns-in-64bit-coldfusion
There's also a little more that may help at the bottom of this:
http://www.zidsoft.com/x64.html
MS also covers the topic here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712362%28VS.85%29.aspx
Other CF-specific solutions include:
- run CF instead in 32-bit mode (even on the 64-bit machine). See discussion at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:60467
- if you have 2 boxes available, you could run CF in 32-bit mode on one box (just for providing access to the 32-bit Access driver), then "proxy" the DSN setup from the 64-bit CF machine to access the DSN on the 32-bit machine (See http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/4/7/MS.Access.Proxy)
- get an alternative jdbc driver for Access (HXTT), mentioned in the threads above
- did you happen to try the "microsoft access with Unicode" driver option in the CFAdmin? That is quite different from the one that is not "with Unicode", so worth a try if nothing else works for you.
Let us know if any of these suit you.
Also, I appreciate the annoyance of those who would think this should "just work" without workarounds. I think I have clarification there.
First, the CF9 System Requirements page is unclear on this. While its systems support matrix lists 32 and 64 but windows (among others), those don't list what DBs are supported on each. Instead, there's a database support matrix at the bottom, which does indicate that Access is supported, but it doesn't break it down per OS, let alone bit-level of each OS.
But I just found a clarificaiton in a devnet article (by an Adobe engineer) that does seem to put the nail in the coffin:
"Most of the functionality and features of ColdFusion run just fine on 64-bit platforms, however, certain features like ColdFusion COM interoperability, ColdFusion Delphi interoperability, and Microsoft Access database connectivity do not work on a ColdFusion 64-bit platform. A few other features, such as ColdFusion .NET integration services and database drivers currently run in 32-bit mode." (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/64_bit_print.html)
I think most haven't noticed this or made much of it simply because Access has been eschewed by so many for so long.

Installing ODBC Drivers on a Server with multiple users.

We are trying to install ODBC drivers on our web server and want to know what is the minimum we can install and be able to add a DSN through the MS ODBC Administrator. This is a server that is used by multiple companies and we do not want to do something that will affect them.
The oracle installation does not warn you when it overwrites existing files, which is why we cannot simply install everything. For example, on my test machine it trashed the Java installation without asking or telling me. I discovered it this morning when I tried to go to a site that uses Java. That was a low risk on the SQL server, because we did not have Java installed. Other elements, though, cannot be risked in that fashion. We have to find out what files are required in order to solve the problem.

Version 9i on a Windows 2003 Server.

1) I’m not certain about the overwrite vs separate machine. What happened is that it installed its own Java, which was much older than the Java previously installed. Following the oracle installation, internet explorer was no longer able to find Java at all, prompting for a new Java installation. During the installation, no mention was made of the changes that were being made.
2) Each company has its own account on our server, its own instance of the database, etc. nowhere in the oracle release notes or the installer could I find anything that provided for a user-limited installation: it was global. Even though the oracle installation suggested, and I accepted, unique folders for its installation targets, the problems mentioned occurred. The web server it wants to install is not possible to be user-limited: it wanted to take over http for the machine.

LO 26315 - ODBC Drivers issue while generating LO Document

Hello folks,
LO 26315 - We got this error code while we were trying to generate a live office document on Universe ( Built on SQL Server with ODBC Connectivity) The complete error message was " Failed to get the document information (LO 26315) Database error: [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver manager] data source name not found and no default driver specified. (IES10901) (LO 26315)".
We assume this was due to the ODBC Drivers (Prob. caused due to the creation of ODBC drivers on client machine to establish connection while creating universe on the SQL Server) and how to specify Default ODBC Driver or how to create/configure these drivers to the BO Server ? Kindly help us, your inputs are highly appreciated.
Kr,
Sathish.

Which OS is your BO server installed on?

Oracle 9i ODBC Drivers on Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit

Hi,
Can any one help me with the information, If the Oracle 9i ODBC drivers supported on Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, Access 2007 as the front end and Oracle 9i database as the backend.
If the 9i drivers are not supported on Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit which version is the supported version.
Thanks
Srini

There is no driver for windows 7 (32-bit) to connect Oracle 9i (9.1) for .Net.
.NET libraries for Oracle and OLE DB providers for Oracle both are available for higher version
Oracle.dataaccess.client http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-101290.html
but check this below link

Procedure runs from 9i odbc drivers but not from 10g.

Hi
i have a old vc++ application which calls a stored procedure.
This application has been in use for a long time.
earlier the Database server and client were both oracle 9i.
now we moved the server and some of the clients to 10g.
The application still works from machine with 9i clients (with older odbc drivers)
but from machines with 10g client (with newer odbc drivers) i get the following error.
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following:
( ) - + case mod new not null others <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable>
table avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum
i also get:
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550: line 1, column 16
The procedure has three parameters which it recieves as type NUMBER:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "TEST"."MYPROCNAME"
(prm1 NUMBER, prm2 NUMBER, prm3 NUMBER)
AS
/*...body of the procedure...*/
The process flow in application code (vc++) goes something like this:
SQLBindParameter(handelToSTMT,1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_SSHORT, SQL_INTEGER, sizeof(parm1), 0, &parm1, 0, NULL);
SQLBindParameter(handelToSTMT,2, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_SSHORT, SQL_INTEGER, sizeof(parm1), 0, &parm2, 0, NULL);
SQLBindParameter(handelToSTMT,3, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_SSHORT, SQL_INTEGER, sizeof(parm1), 0, &parm3, 0, NULL);
SQLPrepare(handelToSTMT,"{call myProcName(?, ?, ?)}",SQL_NTS);
SQLExecute(handelToSTMT);
Is ther some change in how 10g odbc parameter bindings work?
Can it be possible to change the procedure to compensate for that?
(somehow i can't get the formatiing right, even after multiple edits)

This is your post should look like -

Sql expression fields - odbc drivers

We are using Crystal 2008 with SAP ECC 6.0, and the database is sql server 2005. We had Integration kit installed. We have developed few reports with this one from ECC 6.0.
My problem is, I am not able to see the SQL EXPRESSION FIELDS in the FIELD EXPLORER of CR 2008. From the replies for my
previous postings in other forums here and from the feed back of Don Williams, I understood there is a problem with odbc drivers.
I checked trying with new report and tried using ODBC(RDO) but found no drivers. The ODBC data source window showing "dBASE Files, Excel Files & MS Access Database" in the data source Names field.
Even from my machine, I checked the ODBC drivers and found only the above three were present in the user DSN tab of ODBC data source administrator window. Shall I have to add ODBC drivers for SQL Native client OR SQL server OR both (FROM THE DRIVERS TAB)?
Will there be any other ODBC is required for SAP INTEGRATION?
What are the steps to resolve this and to activate and use the drivers? so that I can see SQL Expression fields & also "Show sql query".
BABASHARI

Hi,
So by establishing the connectivity through the proper transports and authorizations done to CRM, can I build
single report by getting the data from two tables one from ECC and another from CRM?
>> which then means for SSO you need to configure 2 SAP systems on the BusinessObjects Server
And one more question, If I could not succeed in getting the connectivity through the proper transport & authorization to
CRM, (lack of basis resources) then can I use BAPI / RFC'S to pull the data from CRM into ECC and then into CRYSTAL(as, ECC is working fine with crystal through the integration kit)? Is it a good practice? Thanks in advance.
>> for CR then the ECC system would become the single point of entry. sure - that would work as well - but shoulnd't be necessary

Stand-alone data tables, no ODBC drivers

Using only Java, is it possible to create, populate, index and query stand-alone data tables without the use of any ODBC drivers or DBMS? At work we cannot install such software on our workstations. However, I do have JDK2 installed and working fine. I have compiled code which can open a raw, unformatted, non-delimited text file, filter for desired elements and write those elements to strings. What I need to do is write those elements to data tables, then perform lookups, selects, updates, etc on those tables. This will all be totally self-contained on one pc.

It would help to know more about the context.
For example Oracle doesn't use ODBC drivers, but obviously you have to buy and install Oracle.
On the other hand, there are other databases that are free or have limited licenses that allow for cheap purchases. For example Interbase and MySQL. There might even be some written entirely in java.
Finally there are probably some limited file based indexing systems which stay away from databases and JDBC completely. They don't allow nearly as much power as the other types.

How to install ODBC drivers ALONE in OUI?

Hi, I need to install ODBC drivers in oracle clients, so I choose "Customized" installation and then the "Oracle Windows Interfaces" component. However, OUI will also try to intall the Microsoft Transaction Server component under the previous mentioned node, and also "Oracle Object for OLE" and "Oracle Provider for OLE DB".
The question is: how can I install the ODBC drivers ALONE? I want to keep my clients with the minimal possible installation.
Thank you in advance.
Leandro.

Have you looked at the 10g Instant Client? That's going to be a lot smaller and a lot easier to install.

Chained ODBC drivers

Hi!
I have a rather special ODBC setup that works fine up until a certain point. My Access 2000 front-end connects to an Oracle database via Oracle ODBC version 8.01.73.
The Access front-end contains a set of sophisticated queries that are used by Interleaf through a Microsoft Access ODBC driver.
In other words, Interleaf produces reports by opening an ODBC connection to the Access front-end, which then collects the data with an ODBC connection to the Oracle database.
This works find exept when the Access ODBC driver requests a comparison on numerical data. The error returned is "DIAG [22005] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression. (-3030)".
I am currently working around it by comparing textual data instead but it creates some unwanted results in my queries. Can anyone hint me for a solution?

ODBC Drivers for SQL Server 2005 on AIX for OWB connect

Hi All -
I have a problem whereby I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005. The problem statement follows: -
Infrastructure: -
OWB Server installed on AIX
Oracle Installed on AIX
SQL Server 2005 source on Windows
OWB Client on windows XP
My problem is: -
I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005 for which I have to create heterogenous source entry in Oracle home. But AIX box does not have any ODBC drivers installed and hence I can not configure a DSN on the same. Can any one suggest where can I get these drivers and their installation steps.
Thanks in advance!

Install only the 9i ODBC drivers

Is there a way to have only the 9i ODBC drivers installed? I don't want this user to even have a hint of a chance to explore with the tools like SQL*Plus to the Oracle server. I understand the need to have the Net Configuration Manager installed so that a help desk person can configure the connection but can a custom install for only the ODBC drivers with the Net Configuration Manager work properly?

First, try doing a custom client install where you select only the ODBC drivers. That should, hopefully, install just the ODBC drivers and whatever supporting bits the ODBC drivers need. If that installs a tool like SQL*Plus, you can always delete the executables from the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory (or deny the user permission to them).
A friendly warning that if you're looking to do something like this you probably haven't implemented security properly in the database. Users should be given only the permissions they actually need to do their jobs, and shouldn't have permissions you wouldn't want them using when connected with any tool.

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL.
Is one available?
Thanks,
Larry

Could to associate the problem at Office 2013?
I just installed the ODBC Driver; The data source machine was available; When selected I had received the message. When it was selected I had received the message:
"ODBC -- falha na chamada.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] O DSN especificado contém uma incompatibilidade de arquiteturas entre o Driver e o Aplicativo (#0)"
In english, could to say: "ODBC -- fail on call.

I don't know yet the reason for this. Anyone knows?

Problem with Installing 8.0.5 ODBC Drivers

I have been having a problem getting the ODBC for the 8.0.5 client. The installation runs fine, I use Net8 Easy Config and setup and running. I setup the datasources and sucessfully "Test" the connection with the login and password. When I go to the MS ODBC control panel, I see the Oracle ODBC, select it and then nothing happens. It just stops setting up the ODBC and MS Access cannot access the server.
Any suggestions

The version is the 8.0.5.10.0 ODBC drivers. I am assisting another user in this process and I do ot have the version info.
What I did was install the 8.0.5.0.0 originally and used the Oracle installer to install the 8.0.5.10.0 ODBC and stepped the user thru the same on his end. After installing the Net8 utility test fine, it's the control panel aplet that fails.

Odbc drivers

hi to everyone
im working with dashboard designer, and when i trying to connect to a universe in the query browser
i get an error message about odbc drivers/ cant find the odbc drivers/
what can i do to resolve this problem???
yossi bar

Hi Yossi,
I'm guessing you're using BI4.0? Note that the client tools require 32-bit ODBC connections, whilst the server requires 64-bit ODBC connections. You need to 'trick' the system by creating 32-bit and 64-bit connections with the same name. Even if you've got Xcelsius and BI4 loaded on the same machine.
The Data Source Manager for 64-bit data sources can be found here: "C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe"
The 64-bit Data Source Manager for 32-bit connections is here: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
Yep, it's odd that the 32-bit one is in a folder with '64' in the name and vice versa.
You can be sure that you're in the 64-bit data source manager because there will be much fewer drivers available.
Does that fix the problem?
