Odbc dsn creation problem

hello everybody I have a problem in creating DSN to personal oracle version 8.1.6 through odbc.It says clientTM and networking components not loaded.my OS in win-98.whats the solution.pl help.

Have you installed the Oracle client on the machine you're trying to create the DSN on? The error you're getting indicates that the Oracle client software cannot be found and/or loaded...

Discoverer 3 EUL Creation Failed with ODBC DSN

Hi,
I use the INTERSOLV text driver make a ODBC DSN, I made a
connection with this DSN in Discoverer AE 3.1.36,
after my login, it prompted to create EUL, I did it, but I
cannot select any user from a null userlist(at the next page),
finally after pressed finish, I encount a internal error.
How to perform this operation?

Check ML doc:
Cannot Create Domain During Portal 11g Install [ID 1097432.1]
I had the same problems, looks like you need to install WL 10.3.2 and not 10.3.3 as tried.
Hope, this helps.

Problem setting up data source to use ODBC DSN

SQL server 2008 r2 BI Tools 2008 r2
When creating new data source based on 64bit ODBC DSN
The DSN is not displayed in the 'Shared Data Source Properties/Edit/Connection Properties/ 'Use user or system data source name' drop down, the only DSN's displayed are 32 bit not the 64 bit ones I need.
How can I access the 64 bit DSN's I need?

Encrypting communication between an app that uses an ODBC/DSN (with ADODB) and SQL Server 2008 R2

I've been doing a lot of reading the last couple of days on how we can encrypt db communication between our product app and a customer's SQL Server db, but cannot make it work as expected. The app uses a ODBC/DSN to connect to the SQL Server db. I use this
ODBC app to setup the DSN (on a Windows 7 PC):
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
The DSNconnection uses the SQL Server driver 6.01.7601.17514 and has these properties:
- WinNT authentication.
- Client Config button: TCP/IP to <server-name>\<instance.-name>
- Change to default db: <name-of-app-db>
- Everything else is default setting.
SQL Server is on the same Windowns 7 PC and has a self-signed cert installed (used IIS to generate it) and has the Force Enryption set to "yes".
I have a test C# program that uses the ADODB 2.7.0.0 COM-wrapper, made by Visual Studio after adding a reference to the ADO 2.7 library version 6.1.7601.17857. The program creates an ADODB.Connection object that has a simple connection string: "DSN=<san-name>;UID=<user>;PWD=<password>". The
program then creates an ADODB.Recordset object and reads and displays a field from a table.
Works fine.
If I go into SQL Server and set Force Encryption to "no," clear the cert, restart the SQL service, and then re-run the program, it works fine.
Here's the kick. If I go into the DSN and select "Use strong encryption for data" the Test button on the DSN works—why does it work? The SQL Server is no longer encrypting the connection so an error should occur. If I run the test program, it works
as well—why? I can look at the connection properties in the test program and see that ADODB has added the ";Encrypt-yes" stuff to the end of the connection string. Yet that option seems to have no effect.
If I set the SQL instance back to Force Encryption:yes, enable the cert, restart the SQL service, and clear the DSN's "Use strong encryption for data" option, I can still connect to the db with the
test program—why?
What am I doing wrong? I need to be able to ensure that the communication between our app product and the SQL instance is encrypted, and that we get an error if the SQL instance does not support encrypted communications. We really don't want the customer
to have to enable Force Encryption because they have other db's on their SQL Server that do not use encrypted communication, but they want to know that our product's communication channel with the db is encrypted.
No, I can't change the app product's code at this point in time. I'm stuck with working with what a DSN called from ADODB has to offer.
Also, how can I be sure that communications are encrypted? I mean, I've tried things like "SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_connections" but that doesn't help because I have no idea how to tie the list of sessions shown back to my test program, although
I guess it's a good thing that some of the sessions listed show encrypt_option as TRUE.

Ah yes, very good point. It's easy to miss because you have to delete then recreate the DSN in order to change drivers. So I switched the DSN over to the SQL Native 11 driver.
Now when I try to connect to the SQL instance as <computer-name>\<instance-name>, and without a cert on the server, I get "the target principal name is incorrect". Perfect; now we're getting somewhere!
Change my DSN to use <fqdn>\<instance-name> and it works. This tells me that SQL Server has auto-generated a cert and named it <fqdn>. I would have expected the "cert fail" error, not a cert
name mismatch, because I'm not using Trust Server Cert.
So I load up my self-signed cert, and that works too.
I am still confused as to why I'm not seeing the "cert fail" error when I have no cert loaded on the SQL Server. I am not using Force Encryption on the server at all, so wouldn't expect SQL Server to auto-create a cert when an Encrypt=yes request comes in,
but apparently it does?
I also ran into a problem with this:
select c.session_id, c.encrypt_option, s.client_interface_name
from sys.dm_exec_connections c
join sys.sysprocesses s
on c.session_id = s.session_id
where s.dbid = db_id('MyDatabase')
There is no s.client_interface_name, probably should be s.hostname. There's also no s.session_id. I thought maybe this should be s.sid, but then no rows ever come back. The c.session_id looks like 51 and 52, but the s.sid looks like a very long binary number,
so these two fields cannot be joined. I don't know how to convert the sid's properly so that the join would work. Ah wait, I just found the s.spid column; the join works when that column is used (I assume that's correct anyhow).
If I add a Thread.Sleep(30 seconds) to my C# program just before the connection is closed, this query shows me the session for the correct hostname has encrypt_option=TRUE.
And I have to keep my fingers crossed that all the app I/O will still work properly after
changing the driver. Probably a safe bet though.
Think I'm ready to throw in the towel on getting the "cert fail/no SSL" error to appear.
It does look like I am able to sufficiently show that the connection is encrypted when Encrypt=yes is used with the newer driver.
Thank for all the help!

Automatically create ODBC DSN connection with special port and password. Add-OdbcDsn cmdlet

Hi,
I first posted a question in the SQL forum but I'm posting it here instead because its a Powershell question.
In a non-persitent VDI enviroment we are trying to automatically create a ODBC DSN connection to a SQL server.
We are using Windows 8.1 so we also have Powershell 4 together with the add-odbcdsn cmdlet.
But when trying to add set -SetPropertyValue for network port different than default and a password we get an error.
here is the command:
Add-OdbcDsn -Name test -DriverName "SQL Server" -DsnType User -SetPropertyValue @("PWD=test", "SERVER=10.0.0.1")
and here is the error message:
Add-OdbcDsn : Attempt to set the {UID or PWD} key of a DSN. These keys should not be stored in the registry for securit
y reason. Provide the credential information at runtime via SQLDriverConnect, SQLConnect or SQLBrowseConnect.

NB!: this command does not contain a port number, but when adding it without a password(PWD string) we just the default port.

Hi Primeid,
Agree with Jrv, we cannot store UID and PWD in an ODBC datasource, For example, you can create a DSN using the user interface but if you look at the DSN stored in the registry the UID and PWD are not stored.
ODBC it is always required when you connect using a DSN that the caller supply UID and PWD if they want to use standard login during connection time.
These similar discussion are for your reference:

ODBC DSN to Excel File

I have set up an ODBC data source to an Excel spreadsheet. When I point a Crystal Report to the ODBC data source, in the Database Expert window, the only option is "Add Command". What do I need to do so I can select the Worksheet Name rather than Add a Command?

What version of MS Excel you are using?
Did you try the following steps while creating the ODBC connection?
To report off a Microsoft Excel worksheet using ODBC you need to configure both the worksheet and an ODBC DSN as follows:
--In Excel, open the worksheet and highlight all the rows and columns you wish to report off.
--Select 'Insert'/'Name'/'Define'.
--In The 'Names' box, add the name "ExcelTest" (for example). In the 'Refers to' box, it will display the range of rows and columns that you highlighted.
--Click 'OK' and save the worksheet.
--Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator and create a new datasource name (DSN) using the Microsoft Excel (.xls) driver.
--Provide a name for the DSN.
--In the 'Version' dropdown, select Excel 97-2000.
--Click the 'Select Workbook' button and browse to your .xls file.
--Click 'OK' to exit the ODBC Administrator.
--Open Crystal Reports and create a new report.
--In the Database Expert, select 'Create New Connection' and then 'ODBC (RDO)'.
--In the Datasource Selection windowr, click the DSN name you created and then 'Finish'.
Click 'OK' and your DSN will be shown under 'ODBC (RDO)' with the table being the named range.
Create your report as usual.

What dialog is this? What application?
First, do you have Oracle Client or Oracle Instant Client with the ODBC drivers installed?
Second, do you have a TNS entry for this server?

Hi,
If you want to connect from Oracle to MySQL then if you have access to My oracle Support this note has details of how to setup the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) which can be used to make the connection -
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on 64bit Windows Operating Systems to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 1266572.1)
It describes a connection to SQL*Server but the setup is exactly the same for MySQL except you use a different ODBC driver.

ODBC DSN- password

Hi,
I forgot the password to test the connection of a ODBC DSN, I created.
Is there any way by which I can recover it ?
Thanks

The password for the user is the same as in any other tool, so recreate it (or let the DBA do this) as a privileged user:
alter user <xxx> identified by <yyy>;

Change ODBC DSN in Application KO?

I am learning Authorware 7. I used the Application Knowledge
Object to create a quiz with login and results tracking via ODBC.
It worked fine and automatically created an Access database. I
replicated the database structure in MySQL and created an ODBC DSN
for the MySQL database. I've looked around in Authorware, but I
can't find a way to tell the KO to use a different ODBC connection.
If I can.... I'll be happy.

From Macromedia Authorware email support, I was told it is
not possible to change the ODBC connection within an Application
knowledge object, but I can change it within a Quiz knowledge
object. I'll follow that path instead.

DB2 Connection VIA ODBC DSN

Can anyone point me to good 'step-by-step' guide to setting up a HS connection to an AS400 DB2 database using a ODBC connection.
I have an ODBC DSN on set up but I'm not sure how set-up my tsnnames.ora or listener.ora, I've looked at several posts in this thread but I'm still struggling.
I basically need to be able to something like 'select something from sometable@AS400link'
Thanks

Update ODBC Access driver Problem??

I am trying to update fields in a tab pane.I already have add and delete functions working but on Trying upate I get a Microsoft Driver Exception Notice [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Driver].Why ??
Here some code:
final static String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
final static String url = "jdbc:odbc:addBKTAFE";
final static String table2 = "Address";
String sql = ""; // Used to store sql statements
int pane_number = 0; // Used to indicate what screen needs to be processed
//--------------------Start updateRecord()-------------------------------------->>>
// Update personnel details.
void updateRecord() {
try {
// load MS Access driver
Class.forName(driver);
// Setup connection to DBMS
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
// Create statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
sql = "UPDATE"+
table2 +
"SET "+
"FirstName ='" + tfFirstName2.getText() + "'," +
"LastName ='" + tfLastName2.getText() + "'," +
"Address ='" + tfAddress2.getText() + "'," +
"City ='" + tfCity2.getText() + "'," +
"State ='" + tfState2.getText() + "'," +
"Postcode='" + tfPostcode2.getText() + "'," +
"Country ='" + tfCountry2.getText() + "'," +
"EmailAddress='" + tfEmailAddress2.getText() + "'," +
"HomePhone='" + tfHomeNumber2.getText() + "'," +
"FaxNumber ='" + tfFaxNumber2.getText() + "'," +
"WHERE person_id =" + cbPersonId2.getSelectedItem().toString();
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
conn.close();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, recupdated,
information,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
} catch (Exception ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
ex.getMessage() + ex.toString(),
genexception,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
//--------------------End updateRecord()---------------------------------------->>>

I would suggest the following put in
System.out.println(sql);
right after the creation of the statement to look at it when it is complete.
It is hard to see any other errors the way it appears in the forum.
You can then copy it and try it exactly the way it is in assess and see if it
works there.
This may help find the problem.
You can put in the following statement to see the sql logging.
Note I have never tried it - it may show you the problem.
java.sql.DriverManager.setLogStream(java.lang.System.out);
Two other things - as I do not use access the comma is not
standard in SQL.
- what is in the fEmailAddress2 - is there any special
characters that may be causing a problem - try i
with blank field.

Powershell, information about ODBC DSN from servers to database

Hello,
I have a question regarding moving data from format-list/format-table to database to the database
I want to pull out data about ODBC created on the server and load them to the database - so far I have wrote code which gives me data about ODBCs:
Get-ChildItem -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI" | ForEach-Object {Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath} | Select-Object PSChildName,Driver,Server,LastUser
The question is: how to load data to different columns when data is like at the bootom of the post(info about DSNs are seperated only by Blank space)?
Add variables to which I add data? Any other way? Any ideas will be appreciated :)
Results:
PSChildName : test-server
Driver      : C:\Windows\system32\SQLSRV32.dll
Description : Some desc
Server      : TEST
Database    : mobile
LastUser    : sa
BLANK SPACE
PSChildName : test-server
Driver      : C:\Windows\system32\SQLSRV32.dll
Description : Some desc
Server      : TEST
Database    : mobile
LastUser    : sa
BLANK SPACE
PSChildName : test-server
Driver      : C:\Windows\system32\SQLSRV32.dll
Description : Some desc
Server      : TEST
Database    : mobile
LastUser    : sa

Get-ChildItem -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI" |
ForEach-Object {Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath} |
Select-Object PSChildName,Driver,Server,LastUser |
Format-Table -Auto
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for posting how to get the DSN listing. I have a related problem though: the result of the one liner above does retrieve me a number of DSNs, however when I try to connect to one of them in my PC, I get the following error:
Exception calling "Open" with "0" argument(s): "ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBCDriver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
This tells me that somehow powershell is not seeing the DSNs I have configured in the system, and that most likely is looking somewhere else for the DSNs. any suggestions? I've seen some
posts about that message error, but I think first I need to get PS to look for the DSNs in the right place (32- or 64-bit issue maybe). thanks for any pointers on this issue.

Instantclient-odbc - odbcad32.exe problem

Hi. I have instantclient set up on my workstation (windows xp). It works fine via both sqlplus.exe and php/apache. However, I cannot get instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115 to work. When I add a dsn choosing "Oracle in instantclient_10_2 Version 10.02.00.03", I get an error popup: odbcad32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close... Send Error Report...
The only environment variable set is ORACLE_HOME=c:\instantclient_10_2
The contents of instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115, instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115, and instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115 are all under c:\instantclient_10_2\bin. tnsnames.ora is under C:\instantclient_10_2\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora.
I'd like to get this ODBC working. Has anybody dealt with this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

I deleted the ORACLE_HOME=c:\instantclient_10_2 environment variable. I added TNS_ADMIN=C:\instantclient_10_2\network\ADMIN. Now I can create a dsn.
