ODBC Level 3 driver

Is there a ODBC level 3(or higher) driver for a winnt client connecting to a Oracle server version 7.3.4?

You should have no problem connecting an Oracle8 client machine to an Oracle7 database. It's still not clear to me whether your client machine must be running Oracle 7, like the database, or whether it can be running an Oracle 8 client.
If you must run Oracle 7 on the client, you won't be able to use an Oracle ODBC driver. Merant makes an ODBC driver for Oracle-- their Oracle 7 driver may be ODBC level 3.
For the record, future ODBC-specific questions should probably be addressed to the ODBC forum here on OTN.

MS Access and ODBC 80510 driver

When I import tables into my Access database the queries work fine however when I link to the tables using Oracle
ODBC 80510 driver the following selection criteria command does not work. [Forms]![Get Jobs By contact No form]![Combo2], if I use a literal value like "abc" it works. It appears that Oracle running the server does not understand the command, therefore no records are selected.
Can any one help?
Thanks, John

You need to create an ODBC data source to your Oracle 8 database,
and test it. Then in Access, use the get external data option
under the file menu. Select ODBC data sources, and pick the data
source you created in step 1. After you login, you should see
all the tables in your Oracle schema. You should use Oracle to
create the tables in Oracle, access will do it, but it will allow
lower case and spaces, and Oracle doesn't like that.

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.

Exception: DBD, [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.

Dear experts,
I'm trying to create an universe linked to an Excel File.
I've created the ODBc connection and the DNS Data Source and inserted the table (table name RAC$) in the Universe. however, when I try to map each table field in the universe's Objects I'm getting this error message:
"Exception: DBD, [ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.State:37000".
I've tried to rename the table, inserting square brackects and also add new parameters to the universe («Transactional Available = "Yes"» and «Delimited Identifier = "Yes"») but still no solution to my problem.
Any advice, tip or trick?
Thank you. My best regards.

Hi Rajagopal,
Thanks for your reply after doing some further investigations this morning I found and corrected the problem...
The DataDirect Driver does not like double quotes in the query for some reason, testing using the BI Answers generated SQL with the nqcmd tool below...
With double quotes “” it fails immediately
Give SQL Statement: select T18706."Id" as c1, T18706."UserName" as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706."UserName" = 'trowe' )
select T18706."Id" as c1, T18706."UserName" as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706."UserName" = 'trowe' )
[102][State: S1000] [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'Id'.
Statement execute failed
With double quotes removed for just the columns I now get the Error near ‘ETMS_Users’ which still had the double quotes
Give SQL Statement: select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
[102][State: S1000] [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'ETMS_Users'.
Statement execute failed
With all double quotes removed it works !
Give SQL Statement: select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from ETMS_Users T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from ETMS_Users T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
c1 c2
42499 trowe
Row count: 1
Give SQL Statement:
The solution to fix the problem is...
In the BI Admin Tool Physical Layer Database, Properties Features tab is to delete the double quote in the Value column for IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR, setting this in the DBFeatures.INI file does not resolve the problem possibly it did in earlier versions of the product.

What's the URL in a JDBC-ODBC bridge driver connection?

I'm trying to use a JDBC-ODBC bridge driver but I don't know what is the URL I need to put inside a the "getConnection (String URL, String userid, String passwd)" method.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, user, passwd);
Can anybody help me?

Yes Marc,
but maybe Edgar should know that he first has to add a ODBC datasource.
in WINNT
Goto System ODBC Datasources and try to connect to your DB.
If the test is working than you can use the name you have chosen
as URL
good luck

Can't find jdbc-odbc bridge driver

Hi
I've installed sdk 2.0 (v1.4.1) and am getting the runtime error:
"Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError <prog name>/class" from the java prompt.
I suspect it is the jdbc-odbc bridge driver that is the problem. It should have downloaded with the SD 2.0 installation, but I can't find it on my NT PC.
Any ideas?

I suspect you are using,java <program_name>.class to execute your program.
Then it will try to find the promram 'class' in the package '<program_name>'.
You need to use, java <program_name>, thats all.
For eaxample if you have Prg1.java, then use,
'javac Prg1.java' to compile it and 'java Prg1' to run it.

JDBC ODBC Bridge/Driver???

Hi,
Please can someone help me?
I'm a 4th year computer science student and have a final year project to do using databases. My problem is finding a JDBC:ODBC driver/bridge(what's the difference?).Every tutorial on the web says use the
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver, that's all well and good but where do I get it?I've tried downloading JDBC API's but still no joy. When I do finally find a driver do I need to copy it to the folder where the rest of my project is,
(that's what I had to do for a mysql driver I had to use before). I want to use Microsoft Access with the project for portability and ease of alteration, do I need to set up an ODBC driver for my database as well as using the JDBC:ODBC bridge?
That probably came out like complete double dutch but I hope someone out there can make sense of it and help me.

Please can someone help me?Start with a tutorial http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html
Basic info on your particular problem:
JDBC defines an 'interface' that allows one to access databases. That usually consists of serveral parts: the database, the interface layer, the jdbc driver and jdbc itself.
JDBC comes with java. In addition a single jdbc driver, the 'jdbc-odbc bridge' driver comes with java. To use that particular driver you also need the 'interface layer' which for MS Acess will mostly already be available to you - basically the ODBC shell (not part of java) and the MS Access ODBC driver (also not part of java.)
Keep in mind that the jdbc-odbc bridge driver uses the ODBC that is already on the box. ODBC itself is not part of the driver.
You will probably need to configure ODBC for use as a 'DSN' (Data Source Name?). To do that you go to the control panel and use the ODBC (Data Sources) applet. Pick 'System DSN' (a panel in the dialog), push 'Add' and follow the prompts by picking a MS Access driver. You can either use 'create' or 'select' at the end to create or use an existing database.
If this seems like too much work then search the JDBC forum using "DSN-less" as the search string. The discussions there will tell you how to set up a connect string without creating a DSN.
If you have further questions on this particular subject it would be best to post them to the JDBC forum rather than here.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver Suitable?

I'm implementing a web site for a small company, so will be using MS Access for the database.
Will a JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver be suitable?
I ask this as I have heard that JDBC-ODBC Bridge drivers are only suitable for testing purposes - not commercial use.
Cheers

Ideally, you should use a third-party driver in your implementation. Not that there's anything wrong with the JDBC-ODBC Driver, but like you said, Sun never really intended it to be used for mainstream applications. It was developed to serve as a generic driver until third party drivers could be developed and released. Now that there's plenty of good third party drivers out there, the use of the JdbcOdbcDriver is really not recommended. Here's a list of current drivers available for MS Access.

Where is the "CR ODBC XML Driver" in CRS 2008?

Hi,
We use a lot the "CR ODBC XML Driver 4.20" included with "Crystal Reports Server XI" to generate reports to our web-applications.
Now I am trying the new version "Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1" and after installing it I don't see that driver in the ODBC Data Source Name window (from de Control Panel of the OS).
Isn't more included in 2008 version???
Thanks in advance for your replies

I have had the same experience and I desperately need an answer. Where is this driver? I have installed sp 2 and sp 3, but this has not helped.

Problems moving ODBC RDB driver from 2.1.13 to 3.x

Hello. I'm new.
I doubt that anyone can assist us in our situation, but I can't find any help anywhere else.
We've been using Forms (see info below, please) for years with ODBC for RDB driver version 2.10.13.00. We would like to move to ODBC for RDB driver version 3.x (3.2 is the latest, I believe) for several reasons.
However, when I run our application against a data source using the new driver, it crashes quite frequently when committing changes. I do not know why. I get a win32 exception dialog box, and nothing else (no forms dump file).
BUT when I turn on SQL Tracing, everything works just fine! When I turn on Driver Logging, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depending on which driver logging setting I use.
When it fails, the last line in the rdbodbc.log file is...
.._uCnvBinaryToChar 0X00000000
or...
bccSQLExecuteLckd
or...
the dml statement
.0X03A27DF8: INSERT INTO ORGANIZATION ( ORGANIZATION_ID,ORGANIZATION_NA
.ME,ORGANIZATION_NAME_2,ADDRESS_1,ADDRESS_2,CITY,STATE,ZIP_1,ZIP_2,EMAI
.L_ADDRESS,REMARK_1,REMARK_2 ) VALUES ( ?, ?,NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),N
.VL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,'XX'),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,' '),NV
.L( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' ') ) RETURNING DBKEY INTO ?
...depending on the driver logging setting.
One particular form always seems to crash on a simple insert statement within a block's On-Insert trigger. The block contains only items with a number or char data type. I have made a great many code variations and it doesn't make it work, but I can get it to work if I place an alert message right before the insert statement or a win_api_utility.sleep(...) statement. And as I mentioned before, it works fine if I turn on SQL Tracing.
So, I am not sure if there is some known issue with Forms and ODBC RDB driver 3.x that we can work around, or if Forms 6i just won't work with the newer driver. Our application contains hundreds of often complex forms, so any fix would have to be relatively simple to implement.
Thanks very much.
Forms 6i (6.0.8.13.0) - running client/server
Oracle RDB database (7.1)
Windows XP
OCA 6.0.5.35.0

Follow-up for anyone interested since apparently no one else in the internet world has this problem. :)
When I activate OCA_DEBUG_ERROR (i.e., set registry OCA_DEBUG_ERROR = TRUE under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE), everything works, but I do see this debug message: "OCA-30002 ubofgrd function not supported", which does not get logged when I use the older driver. So, again, if I slow things down enough, it works, but it won't work without logging/tracing turned on. An OCA bug, I suppose?

Oracle ODBC Rdb Driver

Hello,
We want to install Oracle ODBC Rdb Driver 2.10.13.00 but we can't find this driver for XP.
We are now using the driver 3.00.02.06 but we have a lot of problem.
Could you please Help me ?

You probably want to contact Oracle support for that. I don't recall ever seeing RDB-related downloads on OTN.

EIS Error: ODBC Error driver's SQLAllochandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed

HI guys,
I had Oracle 10g(Run time Client) installed, but to create a catalog i need to create an ODBC connection first so I went ahead and tried to do it but i didnt find the ODBC driver for 10g so I installed Oracle 11g(Run time Client) over 10g. Then, I created a ODBC DSN and tried to create OLAP catalog using the ODBC DSN but it says the following error.
ODBC Error driver's SQLAllochandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed
I researched a bit and found that its an environment variable issue so uninstalled the Oracle 10g, now I've got only 11g but still the same error.
When I test the connection while creating the DSN it says Connection Successfull, its only on EIS front I am getting this error
Can any of you plz help me out of this error.
Thanks!!!!
