Oracle 8i client, ODBC setup

I've installed Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (8.1.6) onto a Windows 95 PC. Also, downloaded and installed the latest driver SQORA32.DLL (8.01.6300). Net8 works fine, I can connect via SQL*Plus to my 7.3.2.3 and 8.1.6 databases. BUT, when I try to configure a System DSN using this driver I get "The setup routines for Oracle ODBC driver could not be loaded". I don't have any other apps running so it's not because I'm low on memory. Any help would be great.

Just to verify that the installation went OK, can you double-check that you have the 8.1.6.3 version of the DLLs sqresus.dll, sqoras32.dll, and sqora32.dll in your %Oracle_Home%\bin directory. Also, if you look in the registry
HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBCInst.ini\Oracle in %Oracle_Home%\
And make sure that the Setup and Driver keys point at the valid sqoras32.dll and sqora32.dll DLL's you found above.

  • Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

    What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
    I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

    I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
    Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.

  • Oracle 8i Client/ODBC with Windows 2000

    I'm also having this problem.
    I'm setting up a C++Builder Application to work with the Oracle
    8i Release 2 (8.1.6) using ODBC. Both the clients and the server
    are running Windows 2000 Professional. I get the error
    "[Oracle][ODBC]Invalid datetime format" whenever I have a DATE
    column with a NULL value in it. I tried downloading the latest
    ODBC driver from the Oracle web site but this did not solve the
    problem. Right now our only solution is to make all the
    DATE columns NOT NULL. Do you have any other suggestions?

    Hello,
    are you trying to install the client by some other user which is not owner of oracle:dba group?
    this will genrally happen when you have different owner or manually changed the permissions.
    Please check your /tmp directory for any files releated to ora:DBA may have a soft link check permissions thier.

  • Help Using Instant Client ODBC on Linux

    I am familiar with using ODBC and visual basic under Windows. I would like to use the Oracle instant client ODBC under Red Hat ES3 within a C or C++ program to access an Oracle database.
    Where can I find documentation related to this:
    a) setting up an ODBC connection on Linux
    b) installing the Oracle instant client on Linux
    c) building an application with Oracle instant client ODBC
    Am I correct in assuming that any C/C++ ODBC code examples from windows could also be used on Linux.
    Thanks,
    Werner

    We are also interested in the very same thing. We are using third party compiler called SIMSCRIPT from CACI which has a module called SDBC for database connectivity. SDBC requires ODBC to be installed/configured. Our application is for Linux, therefore we are interested in using the ODBC driver on Linux clients to connect Oracle database servers on Linux and Sparc. I see the odbc related zip (for 10g) and rpm (for 11g) instant client files on the OTN Instant Client download page. How to install/configure odbc instant client? Is there a document/whitepaper/Metalink Note ?
    Thank you

  • Create Custom response file for Oracle 9i client

    I am trying to create a customized response file for oracle 9i client installation,
    setup -record -destinationFile C:\response_files\install_oracle
    i replaced setup with the path and i followed the instruction correctly, after the installation is done i do get two response files in the location
    Then i created a batch file to run the response file , it installed , but when i check the compmonents what ever is installed, it never recorded all the components which i installed during the time of RECORD mode
    is there any thing i need to do for record all the components
    Please advice
    Thank you

    i have oracle client 9.2.0.1.0
    We need to run both the run time installation and custom installation
    when i did record i was able to get only the run time installation, the components which i customized, i never got, after when i try to install the response file, it never installa all the components
    what should i do to make both runtime and custom to be done in one response file,
    i have a .rsp files which do install the custom with all installtion, but we also need
    under programs, ORACLE INSTALLTION PRODUCTS and under that HOME SELCTOR, UNIVERSAL INSTALLER, missing.
    let meknow how i can add this to my .rsp files which installs perfectly with custom installtion, if you have any customised .rsp files which will fill my needs, can any one post it

  • Client odbc for AIX 5.3?

    Hi:
    I have the following enviroment:
    - WebSphere Message Broker 5.0
    - DB2 8.1
    - MQ 5.3
    - Red Hat Linux AS 3.0
    And I trying to define an ODBC connection to the enviroment:
    - Oracle 10g
    - AIX 5.3
    I don´t found in Oracle, the Client ODBC for AIX 5.3. The question here is it's posible working whith ODBC applications (especifically with the driver DataDirect 5.2) without ODBC libraries for AIX 5.3.
    Thanks

    Assuming that the DataDirect 5.2 driver supports Red Hat Linux AS 3.0 and connections to a 10g database (which seems reasonable, but I haven't checked their support matrix), you should have no problems. In this configuration, you wouldn't be using any Oracle ODBC libraries.

  • 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.

  • Oracle 817 client not available in ODBC Data Source Administrator pick list...

    I have installed Oracle 817 client on a PC.
    I can see the server, I can see the instance.
    I can log into the instance using SQLPlus with no problem.
    The product I'm using requires an ODBC connection configured in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
    When I try to configure it in the DSA, Oracle 8 is not in the list.
    HELP!

    I assume you have Windows on the client. The "Drivers" page of the ODBC_DSA should list all installed drivers. You require:
    name= Oracle ODBC Driver
    version= 8.01.07.00 (or something similar)
    company= Oracle Corporation DO NOT USE the Microsoft one.
    If this does not show, then either it was not included in the Oracle Client installation or you have not rebooted after the Oracle Client installation; the ODBC driver is not visible until rebooted.

  • CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

    Two questions.
    I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
    When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
    Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
    Second question:  I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
    In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
    Any info helps. Thanks.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Below are the replies to your questions:
    Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
    - Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
    - Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
    - You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
    [https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
    Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
       If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
    Please update with the results.
    Thanks!

  • Unix ODBC and Oracle Instant Client

    When I dowloaded Oracle 11 Instant client the the zip file does not contain the libsqlora.so.11.1 file. the odbc_update_ini file contains reference to it. I am trying to configure ODBC on HP UX Pa Risc to use the Instant Client. I have downloaded the UnixODBC driver manager from UnixODBC.org. But I can't seem to figure out how to hook up Oracle 11 Instant Client. Everything I have searched for indicates that libsqlora.so.11.1 is required for the driver manager to work. Who develops this, is it Oracle, is it UnixODBC.org? Do I need to use an older version of Oracle Instanct Client?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    is it "libsq.." or "libsql.."? Did you check odbc.zip? "libsqora.so.11.1" suppose to be part of odbc.zip. From which location you have downloaded? because in my install location I can see that "libsqora.so.11.1" is part of odbc.zip file and same has been referred by odbc_update_ini file. Download fresh tar(odbc.zip) and recheck!

  • Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

    We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

    Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
    However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
    You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.
