ODBC Generic Connectivity error

I'll link to the pgSQL(or mySQL) server wih Oracle.
and if my pgsql table has the "varchar" type fields, there will be some mistakes:
select * from "code_area" @ PGSQL
ORA-00942: the table or views doesn't exists
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]Warning: index pk_code_area is ignored.
Warning: index idx_code_area is ignored.
Table code_area has no fields. Loading failed
ORA-02063: at 4 lines (From PGSQL)

About the generic connectivity error.

I use the Generic Connectivity to link a mySQL database and appeared some mistakes:
ORA-28500: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Access denied for user 'SA'@'SERVER' (using password: YES) (SQL State: S1000; SQL Code: 1045)
Is that the reason why?
I checked once, that my ODBC parameter establishes normally.

you need to surround the username and password while creating the database link to SQL Server with DOUBLE QUOTES.
Look at the error message; it states: SA instead of sa.
As MS SQL Server usernames/passwords as well as columns and tables are case sensitive for some settings you need to define the db link using double quotes as follows:
create database link server connect to "sa" identified by "PaSSworD" using '<tns alias>':

Generic Connectivity from Oracle 10gR2 to SQL Server using ODBC

Hi,
I have setup an ODBC generic connection from an Oracle 10.2 database (on Win 2000) to a SQL Server database (on a different Windows machine). When I query a column which is of LONG data type (TEXT on SQL Server) my session just hangs, no data or errors are returned, trace file just ends showing the SQL statement I entered, but no errors.
If I query other columns with CHAR, DATE, NUMBER datatypes the rows are returned successfully. As far as I can see from the documentation, the TEXT data type in SQL Server should map to SQL_LONGVARCHAR in ODBC, then that should map to LONG in Oracle, so I wouldnt have thought it was an incompatible data mapping issue.
I hear that LONG is being replaced/deprecated in Oracle, but is it now not supported by the HS ODBC program provided with 10g Rel 2? Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a workaround? Any help is much appreciated.
Kieren.

Hi,
HSODBC is not supported on Windows x64. So that's why you get the error ORA-28545
What you can do is to install DG4ODBC 11g on a 32bit machine.
DG4ODBC can be installed separately from the Oracle Server, for example on the SQL SERVER if you can.
But it is supported only in 32 bit too.
You can download from this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html
==>Oracle Database Gateways 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
The last option would be to create a virtual machine on your X64 machine with a Windows 32bit and DG4ODBC 11g.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
Mireille

How to do a Generic Connectivity (ODBC) ?

Hello,
Generic Connectivity provide Oracle Database to connect another
database via ODBC. In my case, it is Oracle 8.1.6 which connects
to Sybase Enterprise 11 on Win NT. The Module "Generic
Connection" is installed. I view it by the Oracle Universal
Installer and I have configured the Windows ODBC Manager to
connect to Sybase.
This is what I've done step by step:
1. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SPS_NACIONAL
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hs_syb.log
2. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nacional)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = oracle)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(SID_NAME = oracle)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hs_syb)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = hs_syb)
I reload the listener by the following command :
lsnrctl
stop
start
3. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Tnsname.ora
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oracle)
hs_syb =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID=hs_syb)
(HS = OK)
I test the tnsname at the prompt command line :
tnsping hs_syb
(It's OK)
4. Database Link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
USING 'hs_syb';
5. Test database link
select * from emp@syb;
And Errors occur :
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
ORA-02063: preceding line from SYB
6. I read again the documentation
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_g
enco.htm
and I found some tables to be feed with data by the HS_ADMIN
packtage :
This is what I have added :
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb','Uses ODBC Driver')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb','SYC Sybase
System 10/11')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_DB_NAME','SYBDATA','F')
(Drop procedure :
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb');
I test one more time the connection,
And I have the same error message as step 5.
7. I put in the initialization file (initoracle.ora) the
parameter
Hs_Autoregister = true (It is true by default and it doesn't
change errors. Is it another parameters for HS ?)
In fact, I don't really understand the notion of "AGENT" for HS
(Heterogeneous Services) in Oracle. Is it something to enable or
is it automatic because the iniths_syb.ora file is in the path
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin ???
What is it missing for the Generic Connectivity ? Any
suggestion ? Say me what is the wrong step in this process or
what I have forgotten.
Thank you in advance.
Jobar Team

Hello
You're right, step two needs to set (PROGRAM = hsodbc). I understand this when I saw hsodbc.exe in the path ORACLE_HOME\Bin (and at prompt I try agtctl.exe but without sucess, an utility for Heterogeneous Services).
Now when I test the connection I can hear Oracle running something.
This is what I've done step by step (following my previous message)I test with Sybase Entreprise and Sybase Anywhere :
8. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Database\initoracle.ora
I set a parameter in init file and I reload Oracle database :
global_names = false
OR in SQL+
alter session set global_names=false;
WITH SYBASE ENTREPRISE
9. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
At the beginning my iniths_syb.ora file was wrong then I correct parameters by viewing errors in C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\trace :
#Using a dsn file generate by the Windows ODBC Manager
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="FILEDSN=C:\sybase.dsn"
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = C:\hs_syb.log
set SYBASE=C:\\Sybase\\ASE
Contents of sybase.dsn
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Sybase System 11
UID=USERNAME
SRVR=SVRNAME
DB=master
10. Test Database link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
CONNECT TO USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY SECRET
USING 'hs_syb';
select * from anytable@syb;
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

12. Test Database link

select * from anytable@anywhere;
In SYBASE ANYWHERE I've got this data
select * from anytable
go
dateini col1 col2
2002-02-01 00:00:00.0000 1.5000 1.4000
In ORACLE I've got
SQL> select * from anytable@anywhere;
dateini col1 col2
01/02/02 1 1
There isn't the decimal.
The reason doesn't like to be 1.4 or 1,4 because in Anywhere and in Oracle It is the same insert "insert into anytable values ('02/02/01', 1.5, 1.4)".
13. Now I try a select of one column
select col1 from anytable@anywhere;
this error occur :
ORA-00904 invalid column name
I am sure that this column exist ! "select * from anytable@anywhere;" and "select count(*) from anytable@anywhere;" are OK.
14. And this doesn't work anymore :
insert into bx_surcharge@anywhere values ('01/02/02',1,2);
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
15. Step 6 and 7 doesn't mean to be necessary ? And Where are used parameters of the "ODBC Connectivity Requirements" in the documentation. http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_genco.htm (And How to use Datatype Mapping ?)
So How to successful a ODBC connection (Maybe I forget some parameters) ? For me, using a connection with ODBC is generic and have to work fine with any type of datasource, isn't it ?
Have you got any idea to deal ? Thanks a lot.

Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?

hi,
Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?
I am getting an error as follows
"ORA-02047 cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" when i am trying a transaction, which is inserting in to db2/400 and updating in Oracle.
if it does not support this, what is the best way
to do such things using generic connectivity.
(eg. by committing each sql statement ?)
my db is oracle 9i 9.2.0.4.0
remote db is db2/400 connected with client access ODBC.
Thanks
BA

Hi,
one of the restrictions of generic connectivity is, that distributed transactions are not allowed.
See manual: 7-6 Oracle9 i Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide
- Generic Connectivity agents cannot participate in distributed transactions; they
support single-site transactions only
So you can only commit after each statement or you have to use the GATEWAY

Windows ODBC connections error

I have oracle installed a client machine, linking to the server. When i sign into the server using SQL+ this works fine. However when i try and edit any ODBC driver connections in windows-control panel i get an error telling me that the networking components were not found. Also when i try to open the application that runs with oracle i get two similar errors.
The error boxes are as follows :-
little: Microsoft ODBC for oracle
Message:The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by oracle corporation and are part of the oracle version 7.3 (or greater) client installation.
You are unable to use this driver until these components have been installed.
2.Title: Database error
Message: IM004:[Microsoft][ODBC driver manager] Drivers SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
This is strange because i have the connection in SQL plus to the same server and the other client machines i look after are working fine.
Right before the crash the machine had Nortan antivirus 7.61 and a Disk Defrag on C:
To remedy this i have un-installed and re-installed oracle client several times with no look.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no further information about the Defrag of C: as our team did not run this, it was the IT support team we use.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to connect through ODBC to an external Oracle (Solaris) database from a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition machine. I am getting the exact same error scenario with the MS ODBC Driver for Oracle. I would love to use the Oracle ODBC driver rather than the Microsoft one, but OUI installation of it (any version) fails (with no explanation in the log) every time.
I am using Oracle9i Client 9.2.0.1.0 with Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.3.0. Do I need to get rid of that and go back to an older version of the client? And, if I do, will it work with WIndows Server 2003 Web Edition? I know my attempted installation of an 8.05 client failed with no error information.
I have verified that %ORACLE_HOME%\bin is in the path and that the user has read/execute rights to %ORACLE_HOME%.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax

Hi,
This is Sathish, I am trying to create a report and retrieve data through stored procedure using ODBC Connection. When connecting to the Stored Procedure it is showing Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax error or access violation' Error.
CRXI R2, Oracle 9i.
What do i do to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sathish

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]
Hope this helps!!

Form Error: form based on a Generic connectivity view

A view was based on a select from a table in a Syabase database (accessed in Oracle using Generic Connectivity).
When I built a block in a Form based on that view, I faced the following error:
ORA-02070: database SYB does not support ROWID in this context.
Also, the same error appeared in the reports accessing the same view.
Can anyone give me a clue to solve this problem plz?
Thanks in advance.

I later knew that the issue can be addressed by setting the parameter Key Mode to nonupdatable.

Sybase,ODBC,Solaris, Generic connectivity

Please tell me what do I need to do to set up Oracle Generic Connectivity?
I have Oracle9i EE 9.2.0.5.0 64bit for Solaris.
Do I need to install Sybase Client?
Where can I get ODBC driver?
Thanks!
Ilya

Yo need an ODBC driver from a 3rd party vendor like Data Direct Technologies or Openlink.
To get hsodbc on Solaris working, you need a 32Bit ODBC driver even if you have a 64Bit Oracle installation. The reason is, that hsodbc itself is a 32 bit application.
Depending on the implementation of the ODBC driver the driver needs the Sybase client installed or some drivers like the Data Direct Technologied WIRED driver do not need the Sybase Client. Please refer to the ODBC vendor documentation.
Install the ODBC driver and configure it so that you can connect with the ODBC driver to the Sybase db.
Then configure hsodbc as mentioned in several notes on Metalink.

ODBC Connection Error

Hi,
I try to connect the Access Database in Dreamweaver. So I put
the DB at ..\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT and add the odbc driver
(Microsoft Access Driver) at ODBC data source administrator (both
system DSN and user DSN). And then I setup the connection in the
"Databases" box in dreamweaver and test ok. However, when I preview
the jsp page (which also placed in ..\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT), an
error occurs and display "Data Source Not Found". What is the
possible cause for it?
The following are the error shown in the browser.

Is that the "full" Client, not Instant Client?
Anyway, possibly you have a 64/32 bit mismatch (based on the system error 193, bad exe format). Do you have a 64-bit version of Office? If that is the case, is the Oracle Client and odbc driver installed also 64-bit?

Using Oracle Generic Connectivity to connect from Oracle to Microsoft Acces

I am trying to connect from Oracle to Access using ODBC. I followed the steps described in oracle documentation but was not sucessful. Could you plase take a look at my code let me know where I went wrong. It is as follows :
1)Created an ODBC connection for Microsoft Access called 'MSACCESS' (System DSN). And associated accdb1.mdb to this ODBC connection.
2)Created a table called orders in accdb1.mdb.
3)Added the foll lines in tnsnames.ora
accdb1 =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
               (PROTOCOL=tcp)
               (HOST=kdandapani.170systems.com)
               (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=accdb1)
(HS=OK)
4)added the following lines in listner.ora :
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=accdb1)
(ORACLE_HOME=c:\orasrv)
(PROGRAM=accdb1)
5) Copied inithsodbc.ora to iniths_accdb1.ora in the ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory. Added the following line there :
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MSACCESS
6)Created the foll dblink :
create database link access1
using 'accdb1';
7)tried to access table ORDERS in the MSACCESS database with the foll SQL -
select * from orders@access1;
Resulted in the foll error message
ERROR at line 1:

Following are the steps you suggested in this forum :
1)Created an ODBC connection for Microsoft Access called 'MSACCESS'. And associated accdb1.mdb to this ODBC connection.
2)Created a table called ORDERS in accdb1.mdb.
3)Added the foll lines in tnsnames.ora

6)Created the foll dblink :
create database link MSACCESS
using 'MSACCESS';
7)tried to access table ORDERS in the MSACCESS database with the foll SQL -
select * from orders@MSACCESS;
I have used my login table instead of orders. But i got an error that i have stated earlier.

Hi Kim and ALL!!!!
1)for Access this works perfectly and insert the data in class@dlcollege.
when_button_pressed triggerDECLARE
     X NUMBER;
BEGIN
     FOR X IN (SELECT tno, tname FROM TEST)
     LOOP
          INSERT INTO CLASS@DLCOLLEGE
          ("cno","cname")
          VALUES
          (X.tno,X.tname);
     END LOOP;
     commit;
end;
2)For MS Excel it niether gives any error message nor insert the data in class$@DLCOMPANY3.
when_button_pressed trigger
DECLARE
     X NUMBER;
BEGIN
     FOR X IN (SELECT tno, tname FROM TEST)
     LOOP
          INSERT INTO class$@DLCOMPANY3
          ("cno","cname")
          VALUES
          (X.tno,X.tname);
     END LOOP;
     commit;
end;
Help needed for Excel?
Thanks

HS generic connection to ingres

Hi, I'm having a small problem with setting up a connection from oracle to ingres.
Oracle: 9.2.0.1

Looks like its actually connecting ok, as it includes the message "Created new ODBC connection (16585544)"
The ODBC driver is from CA (ingres) v3.5
- not sure that this fully supports all the requirements specified in the doc, and its not very well documented.
- the latest version available from their website is 2.8 which has some docs to say what it supports:
"The Ingres ODBC driver is a 2.x ODBC driver that supports all core and level 1 functions plus the following level 2 functions:
SQLExtendedFetch (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)
SQLForeignKeys
SQLMoreResults
SQLNumParam
SQLPrimaryKeys
SQLProcedureColumns
SQLProcedures
SQLSetPos (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)"
In order to test the configuration, I also copied the entries in the tnsnames and listener files, created a separate DSN, and set up a connection to an Access database - and this works fine, so I don't believe it is a configuration problem.
Is there anyone out there who has tried to connect to ingres, and is there an issue with the ingres ODBC driver.
Any help appreciated.

I'm using the Ingres 2.80.00.64 driver on NT successfully with hsodbc delivered with V92 Oracle database release.
About the provided trace file... Normally you should have a look at the odbc driver AND the hsodbc log file to see the real cause.
But according t the file you provided:
This error is normal: [G000]
The S1009 needs more clarification and thus an ODBC driver trace would help as well.

Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' for generic connectivity

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10gR2 64-bit on Linux 64-bit. I am trying to connect to an MSSQL box on Windows. I know that hsodbc is officially not supported on 64-bit OS.
My connection using freetds works as well from unixODBC (verified by tsql, isql). The problem is in the next layer up - hsodbc. I copied it from a 32-bit Linux box as it was 0 bytes on 64-bit box.
Here is what I have in initSQLGUY.ora -
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqltest
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 4
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = freetds.trc
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
# ODBC specific environment variables
set ODBCINI=/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32
where sqltest is the name of my dsn. My listener.ora has -
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = SQLGUY)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/10.2)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32)
My tnsnames.ora has -
sqlguyid=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY))
(HS=OK)
with this configuration, tnsping works -
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY)) (HS=OK))
OK (0 msec)
However my db link fails with -
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (718): ; [C077]
Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' in dynamic library
DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (722): ; [C079] Failed to load dynamic library
'/usr/local/lib/libodbc.so'
ORA-02063: preceding 3 lines from SQLGUYLNK
I am sure that others have gotten this to work in the past. I must be missing something trivial. Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get this working?
Thanks

You didn't explicite mention it, but I assume you are using a 32bit ODBC driver?
The SQLAllocConnect function is built into the ODBC driver manager which is refered in your case as: /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
- check out this library exists and has sufficient permissins to be loaded by the Oracle user
- check out this library is 32 bit
- check out this library contains the SQLAllocConnect symbol
