Oracle 9i client and TOAD

Hi,
I am trying to use Toad tool to connect to Oracle database and view/edit sql tables queries etc
For that purpose I also installed Oracle 9i client application on windows xp
I have tnsnames.ora and sql ora file in my Oracle path .... network/admin
When I open Toad - New Connection, - It shows Database dropdown list as it has read it from the tnsnames.ora
I input User/Schema and Password
I select connect as option as "Normal"
When I hit Ok I get following error in Toad popup dialog box :---
"Initialization error Could not locate OCI dll
When I click "Details" button of dialog box it gives details as :---
Building Oracle HOMES List
HOME Name OraHome92 added to list.
HOME Name OraHome92 added to list
Found multiple homes, searching each HOME x for valid PATH
searching in SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME1
Oracle_Home found in
SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME1 is in system path !
searching in SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0
Unloading previous Oracle DLL
Oracle Guru please tell me how to get rid of this problem so that I can connect using TOAD to database
thanks,

I get the error message, "Could not locate OCI DLL". Now what?
Toad is indicating that it cannot find a SQL*Net or Net8 installation, which is required in order for Toad to connect to a database.
Make sure <OracleHome>\bin folder is in PATH, and that some version of oraxy.dll, e.g., ora71.dll, ora72.dll, etc. exists in that folder or elsewhere in the PATH. For Oracle8, the OCI dll is named OraClient8.dll. For Oracle9, the OCI dll is named OraClient9.dll.

Error to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0

hello,
I try to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0.
I created an ODBC connection to function in the administration tools of data sources but I can not connect once in designer.
I tried using the driver directly oracle designer 10 but I have the same error that is this:
DBD: ORA-12154: TNS: connection identifier specified could not be resolved
someone there had the same concerns?
cordially

Hi,
so it looks like that your TNSNAMES.ORA file isn`t properly configured. Thats why you can connect with the IDT to your Oracle Database.
Your DBA`s should sent you the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file or the entry for your DB prior. After the tnsping works, you will be able to use the IDT properly.

Oracle(tm) Client and Networking Components were not found..

I installed Oracle 9i Client tools on my machine (Win2000 Server), and successfully installed the Oracle ODBC Driver, however, upon using "Oracle in OraHome92" option in my Administrative Tools System DSN I receive the following error upon attempt to connect to the database with my ASP scripts:
"The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and part of Oracle Version 7.3.."
I also receive the following error on my page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed
I have tried every trick I know and at this point am out of options. If anyone has a suggestion I'd really appreciate it.
Thanx

Oracle Instant Client and OUT Parameter of custom type in Stored Procedures

Hi @ all!
I try to set up a simple client application, that calls a stored procedure via Instant Client from C#.
The stored procedure and assiciated types looks like this:
TYPE MYVALUE AS OBJECT
      Id      INTEGER,
      value     FLOAT
TYPE MYVALUELIST AS TABLE OF MYVALUE;
PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                    RESULTSET OUT MYVALUELIST)
                                       IS
...I created an Oracle Command executing this SP and added OracleParameters for ID and (where I got stuck) the RESULTSET.
Is it possible to pass a parameter with a custom type from C# in some way?
I already tried it as a function with SELECT * FROM TABLE(ReadValues(1));
With my parameter RESULTSET as the RETURN type. But since I use DML within the procedure, this does not work inside of a query...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Greg!
Sorry, I misunderstood the forum topic then. =(
Anyway, in the example you provided in the link, this is nearly exactly my situation. But there the Oracle.DataAccess.Client is used, where the OracleDBType can be called to initialize an object of type person. I use the instant client libraries called by using System.Data.OracleClient. There is only the OracleType enum, that does not contain an object or something similar.
So I do it right now after trying a bit with a ref cursor parameter and an OracleDataAdapter - the ref cursor is passed back from Oracle as a DataReader, so die DataAdapter is able to use it for a .Fill():
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.Parameters.Add("RESULTSET", OracleType.Cursor).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
OracleDataAdapter odr = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable result = new DataTable();
odr.Fill(result);Within my stored procedure I just added the following OUT parameter:
PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                    RESULTSET OUT sys_refcursor)
                                       IS
currentlist MYVALUELIST;
... [Adding elements to that list] ...
OPEN resultset for select * from TABLE(currentlist);It works now, but I don't like that solution that much since I'm always afraid that there are lots of opened cursors idyling around. Do I have to close this one explicitly after filling my table by the DataAdapter?

Oracle 10g Client and ODAC Side-By-Side

Hi there, I was unable to find an answer to my query by using search, but apologies if this is a double-post.
I'm having some issues with a ASP.NET application running on a Windows XP Pro machine. The machine has Oracle 10g client installed (oraClient10g_home1), and also ODAC (ODACHome2).
The part of my web application that accesses our Oracle DB (10g), always gets a ORA-12154 error when it tries to connect, but SQL*Plus and tnsping for this TNS both work on the machine.
When I use tnsping from the command line it looks like its using parameter files from the ODAC home, rather than the 10g client home.
On my development machine (where ODAC is not installed), the application works fine.
Does anyone have any idea if there are any issues having both of these clients installed?
Or otherwise where my problem could be?
Thanks very much in advance,
James Simm

Thanks for the link, however it hasn't solved my issues:
The version of ODP.Net installed is 10.2.0.2.20, and the Oracle Client is 10.2, so according to that link it should be able to automatically switch between Oracle Homes.
The application I'm troubleshooting doesn't actually use ODP.Net, it uses System.Data.OracleClient, but ODP.Net is required for another application.
I'm extremely stuck, as I cannot understand why I'm getting ORA-12154 when every other Oracle application on the machine can access it.
Please let me know if there are any other things I can try, or if you need any information from me?
Thanks in advance,
James Simm

(again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?
best regards
net2surfin

I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
+16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
+■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
+■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
d.Leave all other fields empty.
e.Click OK.
I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
thank you n best regards

Oracle 9i Client and System.Data.OracleClient Problems

I have an application server that has an ASP.NET webpage that queries an Oracle database on another machine through ODP.NET.
The app server's machine's OS is Microsoft Windows XP SP2 with IIS and .NET 2.0 Framework installed and configured correctly.
The following Oracle software is installed (from OUI inventory listing)
Oracle Services For Microsoft Transaction Server 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Provider for OLE DB 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Objects for OLE 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Data Provider for .NET 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
Sun JDK 1.3.1.0.1a
When the ASP.NET page attempts to connect to the Oracle instance on the remote machine via the Data provider I get the following message...
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Exception: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
<<snipped>>
I know the connectivity between the client on the app server (SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0)
and the remote database (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0)
is working since sqlplus sessions connect and the NET Manager tests through Local Service Naming succceed.
I've tried the "ORACLE_HOME permission changes" solution for Autenticated users as articulated here ....
http://jasondotnet.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BD40DBF53845E64F!122.entry
but the error persists.
In the list of oracle installed products above, I installed the first 5 (ODP.NET) before the last 2 (Oracle 9i client). Would this matter ? At first I thought perhaps the ODP.NET component didn't "know" about the client since it was installed before there was one on that app server.
Feeback much appreciated.

Well I figured it out. I guess...
1) Uninstalled all Oracle Software Products
2) Rebooted the machine.
3) Manually removed C:\oracle\ora92\.
4) Installed and configured the following
* Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
5) Installed and configured the following
* Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Provider for OLE DB 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Objects for OLE 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Data Provider for .NET 9.2.0.7.0
6) Gave the following accounts Full Control over the ORACLE_HOME directory
* ASP.NET Machine Account
* Internet Guest Account
* Launch IIAS Process Account
6) iisreset
Conclusion....
The order in which Oracle components are installed does matter.

Oracle 9i client and COM+ transaction = error

Hello,
I'm using Oracle 9i client with Microsoft COM+/ADO/VB 6.0 sp5 and MSDAORA provider. Trying Oracle 9i client on Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server or even my own dev. Pc (XP) results in error: " -2147168229 Cannot connect to the transaction manager or the transaction manager is unavailable" This error occur when I write to the database (Transaction support = Required). Reading (Transaction support = Supported) works fine on every platform.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle instant Client and memory

Hello everybody,
I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
Thx in advance.
Maat

If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory
for all its NLS data. The Instant Client Lite package uses a smaller
footprint.
Make sure you know what you are measuring and whether what you are
seeing actually has an effect on performance.

Connection Errors between Oracle 8 Client and Oracle 8.1.6 EE

Our current application has been developed using PowerBuilder 6.5 and Oracle 8.1.5. Since PB 6.5 does not have a "native driver" for 8.1.5, we have used their driver for Oracle 8.0.5 for Net8 connectivity to the server. Everything works fine.
Recently, I downloaded the current version of Oracle 8.1.6 EE from Technet to try out the compatibilty of our software with the next version of 8I, it failed. The error seems to be somewhere between the 8.0.5 Oracle Client Software and the downloaded Oracle 8.1.6 EE Server software. Some how we have lost the ability to declare cursors. I tried declaring a cursor in a procedure through SQL*Plus and it failed their as well. I have even tried the Oracle 8.0.6 Client, with same results.
Has anyone seen this? If so, what should I do?
Thanks,
Jason

HOW TO SUPPORT TWO-TASK COMMON ERRORS - 1012295.102
Troubleshooting
===============
Two-task common errors are generally RDBMS related issues, but could be caused by a problem with SQL*Net, or an application (i.e. Pro*C).
ORA-03106
======== Possible reasons for the ORA-03106 errors include:
1. Incompatibilities between the client application and the RDBMS server.
For example, version incompatibilities, or a client trying to use a feature not supported by the database kernel.
2. When using database links or gateways.
3. Network or SQL*Net problems.
4. Corruptions.
5. PL/SQL - language related.
check the NLS_LANG variable on the client and server.

16bit Oracle Net Client and win2000

I have a following problem. I should have a win2000 workstation where I should use oracle 16bit net client (probably a version from Oracle 7.3.4) and 32bit oracle net client (8.1.7). When I try to use 16bit client I'll get an error message "Error during connect: 12203". Has anyone success to run 16bit Oracle client in win2000 enviroment?

The reason why I have to run both clients on the same machine is that I have an old 16bit application which I'm still need to have and it's needs to have 16bit oracle OCI net client. Other applications are using 32bit ODBC.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Justin Cave ([email protected]):
Why do you need to run both clients on the same machine? Given that the Oracle7 environment was de-supported at the end of 2000 if memory serves, I doubt that the Oracle7 client has been tested on Win2000.

Oracle 11g Client and XML DB

We have moved our applications in a mix environment (DB on Linux and App. Server on Windows) on Oracle 11g.
On the past we have tested the applications and they were working, now seems nothing is ok, it is like the 10g instant client on Windows is unable to communicate with Oracle 11g DB working on XMLDB.
May I ask if someone have seen the same problems?
Testing on Windows all the environment it was all working, but it was installed all on the same machine.

Ozark DBA wrote:
Just need confirmation that the old 10g Java based Enterprise Manager is gone forever with 11g and there is no management console in the 11g client installation (at least I cannot find one). Confirmed. Same as in the Database install.
And after searching the threads ond Oracle documentation, it appears that I can install 11g database on my local pc and then have a dbconsole (not grid control). Please confirm that this dbconsole only points to the specific database installed on the same local pc, and it cannot be used to manage remotely located 10 or 11g databases. Confirmed. The DB Console is tied to one ORACLE_HOME one one HOST for one INSTANCE. The HOST and INSTANCE are used in the directory naming (of all stupidity) and configuration file contents under the ORACLE_HOME.
I am still in the planning stages for grid control installation and would like to use the smaller enterprise manager - java control. But again, there is no such Oracle application for 11g now? I must use grid control to manage multiple databases?Confirmed. Fortunately, the Grid Control is included in the Database license as per the database Licensing manual, and you can put the Grid Control on a separate machine. Since the Grid Control is fed using a single agent for all product (database, and anything else) on the target host, the Grid Control puts on a much smaller footprint on a database machine than even the old Java console.
Note that the 11g Grid Control will be (at least) announced tomorrow by WebCast - check OTN.

Oracle 10g client and Outlook Address Book

I have looked everywhere that I can think of, and nobody seems to have an answer to this problem. I support an extensive VB6 application, and one piece of functionality, which has been working without problems using Oracle 8i and 9i client, is now having problems when we use it on a client with 10g client installed.
The functionality in question is the ability to click a button that opens the user's Outlook Global Address Book, and return the e-mail address of the address selected. When the application is initially opened, the address book opens without problem. Once the user connects to Oracle (from within the application), from that point on, until the application is closed and restarted, clicking the button to open the address book produces the not-so-helpful error message "This application has failed to start because BJABLR32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." The .dll is present, and the error only occurs AFTER an Oracle connection has been opened. I'm using an ADODB connection to connect to Oracle.
I have tried closing the connection, and setting the connection object to nothing, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The Oracle connection appears to be working fine, the recordsets that are returned have the correct data in them, and updates perform correctly as well.
I have a sample application (about 175 lines of code) that I can use to consistantly reproduce the error.
If anyone can shine some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. If this needs to be posted to a different forum, please let me know that as well. This forum seemed to be the closest match that I could find for this problem.

I am having the same problem, did you find an answer? other than resetting the Path, I shouldn't change all the client machines path

Oracle 817 client and MS driver for oracle

Hello
I had installed oracle 8.17 client on my machine.
Suddenly, my datasource with "MS driver for oracle" seems not to be working.
I uninstalled 8.17 and installed 8.16.
No matter, what I do, I cannot get the datasource setup with "MS driver for oracle" work
Anyone has similar experience
-Aswath

What error message are you seeing? I've never seen any conflict between the Oracle and Microsoft drivers.
You could try downloading the latest version of the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) from Microsoft <http://www.microsoft.com/data>. That will have the latest version of the Microsoft driver.
I'm assuming that you have already tried deleting and re-creating your DSN. If you haven't, that would be a good first step.
