ODBC/oracle problem

To further clarify the problem I mention below, the specific error I get
with integer datatypes is "Driver Not Capable". Thanks.

I have a problem related to accessing a personal oracle database with Forteservice objects via ODBC. The problem is that I cannot do inserts into
number fields with integers or integer nullables. The only thing I can get
to work are textdata types. Has anyone else had this problem? AM I using too
old a version of ODBC driver (Oracle71 version 1.11.0002)?

Thanks. Tim.

This is a Forte bug I reported a few months ago. It is being tracked
under Forte call number 26402. Scheduled to be fixed in R3. There are
no work arounds that I am aware of.

Hi Josep,
You can follow the below link.
Just check if the version of oracle is supported with 64 bit version.
Else just follow the below:
The issue has been identified and tracked.If Business Objects Enterprise is installed to a location containing brackets in the folder path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect to any Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2., do not function properly with any application which has brackets in its folder path.
Resolution :
There are two options to resolve this:
When installing Business Objects Enterprise, please choose an install path that does not contain brackets such as C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database client.
This issue is Oracle bug 3807408 and can be fixed by applying 10.2.0.1 Patch 6. This can be downloaded from Meta link if you have an account:
http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5059238
Just copy   the link and down load the patch from the oracle, for this you need to be registered in the oracle product download site.
Hope this helps you.

Naveen.

ODBC Oracle 10g on BOE XI 3.1

Hello
I want to know if the installation of BOE has a ODBC driver for ORACLE in the installation route.
Or ORACLE has its own driver?
I checked the SAP Note 1292899 to download data direct drivers, but I can't find the link on SAP support portal.....
Thanks in advance
Oscar Barrientos

Hi,
I downloaded the Data Direct driver for Crystal Reports and installed it on the path of the BO installation.
I modified the odbc.ini with the next lines:
[ODBC Data Sources]
CLUB=DataDirect 5.3 Oracle Wire Protocol Driver
[CLUB]
Driver=/home/bobj/boe31/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib/CRora23.so
Description=DataDirect 5.3 Oracle Wire Protocol Driver
HostName=172.16.5.203
ServiceName=CLUB
PortNumber=1521
LogonID=club
Password=***
In the universe, I selected the Generic ODBC datasource for the connection.
But when I create a Webi report, I got this message:
A database error occured. The database error text is: [Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]TNS-12514: TNS: listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor. (wis 10901)

Help on how to install ODBC Oracle drivers

I need to install ODBC drivers for Oracle on a W95 machine.
I tryed to install ODBC Oracle drivers on my W95 machine but when
I extracted the zipped file from ora8052 it created a directory
called win32; then I searched for the 'setup' executable...
without to find one...
In the readme file, on 'software required' I read that I need the
Oracle Net8 client and teh Oracle8 installer to install ODBC.
Where can I find Oracle Net8 client and teh Oracle8 installer
without downloading all the try and by version of Oracle??

Fulvio,
you have to get hold of a CD containing Oracle Client software;
you should ask Oracle for it. SQL*Net itself is free for
owners of the server license, but I do not know how Oracle
handles users of the free development kits. If you plan to
use Oracle for software development I strongly recommend to enter
one of the partner programmes; it's not free, but very good value
for money.

Problem Access2000-- ODBC-- Oracle 9.2 reexecuting on scrolling down result

I have the following problem:
I have an access 2000 frontend-db with linked oracle tables and views via Oracle-ODBC driver Version 9.2. I have relative complex linked Oracle-views which are collecting data from 4 different tables with outer joins.
When I open one of this Oracle-views inside my Access-Frontend (in Access-Table-Register), I get the result after a few seconds. that's ok.
But, if I want to scroll through the resultset in access, it seems, that everytime I push the 'pagedown' key, the view has to be executed again on my oracle database server. I can see that in the performance log of the Win2000 server from my Oracle-databaseserver.
I testet the oracle-ODBC-parameter 'Prefetch count'. I set it to 1000 which should save 1000 records in the local memory. (my view has approx. 350 records). Even when I relink my Oracle-views in MS-Access and I check, the parameter settings, this doesn't help.
I would be very gratefull for any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Zigi

Thanks Pierre. I've performed the following test:
1) I insert a chinese character in an NCHAR field in my table by using the UNISTR function thus:
insert into tbl_test_ch (field1) values (unistr('\3E00'))
2) I interrogated the value using the dump function thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
I'm struggling to understand the output. Obviously the character set being used is "AL16UTF16" (which I would expect to be able to store chinese characters), but the return_format argument I've provided to the function (1016) should return the hexadecimal code point of the character that's being stored. I would expect this to be the same as I inserted ("3E00"), but I'm getting the following output:
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 3e,0
Can you shed any light on this?

Oracle 9i DB ODBC Connectivity Problem

i have oracle 9i release 9.0.1.0.1 and i want to use the oracle 9i DB in my VB Appplication how can i connect to the DB and what driver should i use.

You will need to install the Oracle client on whatever machine(s) your application will be running on. The Oracle client will include a version of the Oracle ODBC driver. You can download an updated version from OTN, you just need to make sure that you match the version of the driver and the version of the Oracle client, i.e. the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver should be used on a 9.2 Oracle client, the 9.0.1.x Oracle ODBC driver should be used on a 9.0.1 Oracle client.
Realistically, it doesn't matter much which version of the Oracle client you use. All else being equal, I would probably install the 9.2 Oracle client, but if other versions of the client are already installed, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Windows 2008 64-bit and Microsft ODBC for Oracle problem

Hello,
I am trying to create ODBC connection to Oracle 9i Database on remote server. I am using Windows 2008 64-bit but it is not showing Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle. Could any one suggest what to do?\\

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.

ODBC Timeout problem.

I am trying to use the query timeout of the ODBC specification while accessing an Oracle 8i database from within a client code written in MS Visual C++ 6.0.
I use Oracle's ODBC driver version 8.01.07.810.
(Microsoft's ODBC driver for Oracle does not implement
the ODBC Timeout feature).
During my tests I use a special stored procedure which
forces my call to wait for a specified number of seconds far much than the amount I specifed in my client code
(via setting the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute with
SQLSetStmtAttr).
I use synchronous query execution, and ideally my code should block until either a response arrives from the database or timeout ocurs. Unfortunately, my blocked query execution never timeouts and waits until the database responds. "Enable Query Timeout" box is checked witin the ODBC Driver configuration window for the system DSN I use to access the database.
When I try the same test setting with an MS_SQL Sever instead of an Oracle connection (via the Microsoft's driver manager for SQL Server as expected), everyting works fine and the timeout occurs.
Is there anyone who has an idea on why this could happen?
Many thanks in advance.
A.F.Ates

Jules,
Thanks for the pointer. So what does my 'connection string'
look like with your suggestion in the above example? Would the code
Dim MM_connPathData_STRING
MM_connPathData_STRING = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA
SOURCE=PATHOLOGY1;UID=user;PWD=pass;DATABASE=pathnet_data"
be significantly quicker?
I *have* looked at the database but my problem is there is
nothing I can do with the underlying structure - I'm just working
with what I'm given )-; What I need is a way of connecting to the
data regardless of the response time. What I am giving the users is
a view on *their* data - essentially, if it's slow then that is
their problem!!
Again, thanks for all and any input,
Simon

MS Access 2K/ODBC link Problems

Hi -
To date, I've been accessing Oracle files through an Oracle 8 ODBC link. I then had a problem where I couldn't update a long number field. Kept saying that the record was locked and that I could "Copy" or "Drop" my changes. I could easily update the same record in SQL Navigator. Thinking that I had a driver problem, I updated to the Oracle 8.1.6. Since then, I can link and open tables but as soon as I try to make any changes, the application seems to freeze and no updates take place.I've uninstalled and reinstalled countless times and have even tried going back to 7.3.4 but nothing seems to get me anywhere.
Can anyone provide any guidance on what might be wrong? Appreciate any help you can provide!
Allen.

Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

Hi,
on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
Data source name: Anything
TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
User ID: myUser
then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
and it works!
I cannot figure out what's my problem.
Thanks,
Roy.

I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
SQL> desc test;
Name Null? Type
ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
My character set being used is:
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
BYTE
So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc TEST;
---------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
---------------------------------------------------+
| attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
Name Null? Type
attività VARCHAR2(80)
So in general it should work.

First, make sure you can connect through your sqlplus regular client, and make sure your instance, and listener are properly configured, up and running. Issue the next commands:
lsnrctl services
tnsping yourTNSAlias
sqlplus username/password@TNSAlias
Next, on your connect string I don't see your dbname alias configured, is it correct?
Example:
DSN=ora9;UID=scott;PWD=tiger;DATABASE=ora9u
The datbase name is missing on your connect string:
DSN=Oracle;UID=craig;PWD=<removed>
Is your alias configured at your tnsnames.ora file?

Visual Studio 2008 & Oracle Problem

Hi there,
I've been going through a bunch of legacy reports in a project I support, they had got out of date with the database, so I was verifying the database for each one.
They use data from an Oracle 10g database using a mixture of tables and views. The first report I came across that used a view gave me the following error:
"The database table 'HIGHEST_CLIENT_LOSS_V' cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?"
I don't want to remove the view as it is needed, so I went into the Database Expert to try and locate it. I opened up the ODBC connection we use to connect to the DB, and navigated to the required schema. Previously this showed Tables, Views and Stored Procs, but now only shows Tables and Stored Procs.
Has anyone else come up against this problem? Or have any idea what could cause it?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team System Development Edition, Oracle 10g database and ODP.Net 10.2 client/ODBC driver.
I've never had this problem before.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
James Simm

James,
I'm not sure what Crystal functionality is available in VS but try right clicking on the datasource > options and in the Data Explorer section you can select whether to see views, SPs, or tables.
As well with the CR Designer there is a default limit of 8000 Database objects that CR will see. If that limit is reached then it stops dispalying objects past that limit. Try just selecting Views in the Options and if you can then see the views you can increase the default limit within the registry (*Note that it is always a good idea to backup the registry before editing). The key would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > business objects or Crystal decisions > Suite (version) > Crystal Reports > FetchOptions > NTablesMax

If you look at the release notes for MDAC 2.5 on the Microsoft Universal Data Access site, it lists a known issue with Oracle client, and the registry hack to fix it. I have not seen in any release notes since that specifically say they have addressed this issue!
