Oracle 9i Client AIX only, tnsnames connection to Oracle 8i HP/UX Server

I am having problems with the TNSNAMES connection when trying to execute SQLPlus. Are there any known gotchas on setting up the TNSNAMES.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, and LISTENER.ORA files?

Yes, you have to get it right ;)
What kind of problems? (steps taken, error codes/messages, etc.)
Does your tnsnames.ora on the AIX side seem to match what the listener on HP/ux listens for?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect() in /var/www/html/waseem.php on line 20
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is the problem with oci_connect or odbc_connect?
The phpinfo() output shows '--without-unixODBC' which may be a root cause. There is no 'odbc' section shown in the phpinfo() output so I wouldn't expect odbc calls to work.
But if the issue is with OCI8, then make sure that Oracle environment variables and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set BEFORE starting Apache.
More information on OCI8 and PHP is in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/underground-php-oracle-manual.html
Also see http://wiki.oracle.com/page/PHP+Oracle+FAQ

Oracle instant client 11g doesn`t connect to database 10g

hi,
i installed a oracle instant client 11g for windows xp on my pc, because i need a odbc connection.
I don`nt know this product. I don`t find a tns.ora file, so how can i give them the right parameter for my oracle database and how can i make a odbc connection.
Is it already the right client?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Nicole

Hi,

Should i deinstall this client?
Or how can i make there a odbc connection?
Thanks
NicoleODBC sits on top of the Oracle client. (or any other native client of a given db product).
I don't think the ODBC drivers come with the instant client, though if you can locate a 3d party odbc driver for Oracle, that should work with the instant client.
Oracle ODBC drivers do come with the full client, but even there don't install by default - at least not up through 10g. In that case you have to select 'custom installation' (which can be done after a basic run-time installation) and select 'windows components'.

Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 w/ unixODC connect to Oracle DB 11g

Hi,
I am trying to configure our new install of Oracle Unbreakable linux (Enterprise v5) to connect to our Oracle 11g DB via ODBC. I have configured the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files. I have tried to do a test connection using isql. This is the error I am getting....
$ isql -v JSI
isql: symbol lookup error: /opt/oracle/product/11g/lib/libsqora.so.11.1: undefined symbol: SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW
I understand this issue is with unixODBC and the liib.... libodbcinst.so.1.0.0. However, I have not found a way to fix this. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated on getting this working.

Well I have gotten a bit further along. I was able to get a working 2.2.12 rpm. I now issue the command....
$isql -v JSI
[S1000][unixODBC][Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
Now I am getting this error.
I also know that my tnsnames.ora and linstener.ora files are correct b/c I can connect to remote Databases using sqlplus. I have downloaded a free trial of easysofts Oracle ODBC Driver and it works perfectly. So my configs should be right. My yquestion I guess is why does the Oracle supplied ODBC driver not work?

Oracle Developer Suite Applications Can't connect to Oracle 8i database

Hello,
I have Oracle 8i installed on my PC.
Now I have installed Oracle Developer Suite on it.
During the installation it never asked for a Oracle home directory. It may be detecting the same.
It has created separate menus and configuration files like tnsnames.ora for this installation. The SQL * Plus version is also different, which is 10.1.0.4.2.
Now when I try to connect using usual scott/tiger authentication it gives error
ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol adapter error.
Even after correcting the tnsnames.ora file, which is installed by DS with proper service name, the problem persists.
Please help.
-Sameer

I have uninstalled Oracle 8i.
Removed all the services from Windows services by deleting corresponding registry entries and deleted the Oracle folder.
I have reinstalled Oracle 8i, this time i changed the name of global database to oracledb.
I channged the tnsnames.ora file from DevSuite appropriately as:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mscserver)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORACLEDB)
Still it can't login using scott/tiger authentication.
What may be the problem? Please help.

ORACLE not available!problem in connecting the oracle-xe-10g.

Hi,
I have the same problem during XE installation on Windows 2003 R2 SP 2 Enterprise edition. I have uninstall the oracle xxe and the result still the same. Finally I uninstall the windows and start all over again, surprisingly the result still the same. FYI, we normally has no issue during installation because this is part of our system we sell to our customer which require oracle xe. This is the first time we have seen this issue.
ORA-01034 : Oracle Not available
ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm doesn't exist.
Oracle XE and listener services is started in the windows services.
if we try to do startup the following message occured.
SQL> connect /as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-44412: XE edition memory parameter invalid or not specified
SQL>I can send you the oracle_xe log, init ora, and OpsBuildAll.log to create the database.
When we compare with the working installation, we saw that the size of oraclexe folder is less, it's just 233MB while the working one is over 1GB. After investigation, found out that the .dbf files is not avaiable in the oradata folder, i have tried to copy those files from the working one but the problem stay the same, probably there are a lot of files more missing.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
Agus

Redhat 7.3 upgrade causing problems with client connections to Oracle 8.1.7

I have recently upgraded from Redhat 7.1 to 7.3 and now my Oracle clients can no longer connect to Oracle 8.1.7. I read a note external to this forum that essentially says to reinstall Oracle.
I would really like to avoid reinsalling Oracle. I haven't had enough time to devote to determining a simpler fix. Does anyone know whether reinstalling Oracle can be avoided?
Thomas

I resolved my own issue. The problem was with the 7.2 upgrade and how it treated client connections. Once I started xinetd (off by default), everything started working; imagine that.

Database is up and running but when I connect as oracle it's idle?

Hi experts,
I have a strange kind of problem. I installed Oracle10 on UNIX.
When I connect to the Database remotely I am on a perfect working database but when I am connected directly on the machine via Oracle user, and run SQLPLUS I am connected to an idle instance. Also I can not startup this instance because I of 'ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode'.
when I run SQLPLUS useing the '@' condition I am connected correctly.
I checked SID settings and so on but it looks fine. I also only have one instance installed (I hope!).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Flo

Oracle 8i Server (32 bit) and oracle 9i client (32) bit on Win 2003 64bit??

Hi,
1st server (DB Server)
OS : Windows 2000 Server
Oracle 8i Server (32 bit)
2nd server (Web Server)
OS : Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit)
Oracle 9i client (32 bit)
After i installed, oracle 9i client (32 bit) in Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit), i managed to install and configure tnsnames and connects using SQL Plus. However, i CANNOT see Oracle in ODBC.
Que 1 : Why? Why i cannot see any Oracle in ODBC? Is it because of 64 bit?
Que 2: If i installed Oracle 9i client (64 bit), will it solve the problem?
Que 3: Will my .Net software gives problem when application installed in IIS interacts with DB server???
thanks

when i run run installer, that give error it can not recognize x window .
Please guide me.
Thanks.

What I normally do is:
- start via the putty session (loged in with the software install user) vncserver
- give a password for the user.
- on your desktop client you startup vnc viewer (can be downloaded free from internet)
- use the machine ip/name and the earlyer given password
- you have a graphical environment on AIX

Oracle instant Client and unixODBC for Linux has Error

Hi experts,
I have two Redhat EL 5. On the first Rehat(xxx.xxx.xxx.121 --> called Redhat1) I have installed Oracle 10g database server. On the second Redhat(xxx.xxx.xxx.123 --> called Redhat2) I want to connect to Oracle database server on xxx.xxx.xxx.121 via ODBC. But it does not work. Pls help me!
I have done steps as following:
Login to Redhat2 as root and type commands:
1)Install Instant Client + sqlplus
# rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
2)Setting environment variable
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# SQLPATH=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib:${SQLPATH}; export SQLPATH
3)Testing connection to Redhat1(Oracle DB server) using sqlplus
# sqlplus abc/[email protected]:1521/lab2
Connected.
5)Begin to install unixODBC
# rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-odbc-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh unixODBC-kde-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
6)After installation above packages I check for existing of odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini in /etc --> ok
# ls /etc | grep odbc
odbc.ini
odbcinst.ini
7) Tar unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz and copy file to /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib
# tar -xzf unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz

Pls help me.

Apologies - thought it was a database to database connection that you were trying to create.
isql: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryThe readline library is in package readline-4.3-13 on RHEL4 and in readline-5.1-1.1 for RHEL5 on my servers (minor version number are of course dependent on the kernel version used).
This is also not an ODBC or Oracle issue. It seems that isql is using rlwrap or similar - this requires the readline library. And possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set too.

I don't understand your step 7 (the first step 7, actually).
What is that unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz, where did it come from, and why are you doing all that?
unixODBC should be installed after step 5.
I guess that that is the cause of your problem.
isql is not linked against readline at all on my RHEL 5 system.
Do you notice any improvement after removing the files from that tar.bz file?
Yours,

Exp/Imp In Oracle 10g client

Hi All,
I want to take one schema export from Oracle 10g Client. I am in new Oracle 10g.
In oracle 9i, we can using exp/imp command for Export and Import from Client itself.
I heard about in Oracle 10g, we can use Expdb/Impdb in Server only. Is there any possibility to take exp/imp in Client also.
Pls help me...
Cheers,
Moorthy.GS

To add up to expdb from oracle client
NETWORK_LINK
Default: none
Purpose
Enables an export from a (source) database identified by a valid database link. The data from the source database instance is written to a dump file set on the connected database instance.
Syntax and Description
NETWORK_LINK=source_database_link
The NETWORK_LINK parameter initiates an export using a database link. This means that the system to which the expdp client is connected contacts the source database referenced by the source_database_link, retrieves data from it, and writes the data to a dump file set back on the connected system.
The source_database_link provided must be the name of a database link to an available database. If the database on that instance does not already have a database link, you or your DBA must create one. For more information about the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement, see Oracle Database SQL Reference.
If the source database is read-only, then the user on the source database must have a locally managed tablespace assigned as the default temporary tablespace. Otherwise, the job will fail. For further details about this, see the information about creating locally managed temporary tablespaces in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.
Restrictions
When the NETWORK_LINK parameter is used in conjunction with the TABLES parameter, only whole tables can be exported (not partitions of tables).
The only types of database links supported by Data Pump Export are: public, fixed-user, and connected-user. Current-user database links are not supported.
Example
The following is an example of using the NETWORK_LINK parameter. The source_database_link would be replaced with the name of a valid database link that must already exist.
expdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 NETWORK_LINK=source_database_linkDUMPFILE=network_export.dmp LOGFILE=network_export.log
