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.

ODBC Connection problem with SQL Native Client driver with CR 11

I am having an issue connecting my crystal reports to an ODBC connection that uses the SQL Native Client driver (Version 2005.90.2047.00). My reports work fine when using the SQL Server driver (Version 2000.85.3006.00). The ODBC connection is setup to use Integrated Windows Authentication and is defaulted to go to the correct database. When I test the ODBC connection in the 'ODBC Data Source Adminstrator' it connects fine.
The reports are trying to connect to stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 database. I can log onto the ODBC connection in CR X1. When I try to set the Datasource connection for one of my reports to the ODBC connection I created, I get the following error:
'Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.'
When I drill down to the SP and try to update the datasource location of the SP directly I get the following errors:
'Data Object cannot be opened/accessed'
and
'Unknown Database Connector Error'
As I said, I don't have any problems when using the SQL Server 2000 driver. One other thing to mention, when I initially connect to the ODBC connection in CR X1 with the SQL Native Client driver, it asks for a username and password. I leave these blank since I'm using Windows Authentication.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
I just tried to create a new report using the native driver and there is no option to use Trusted Authentication. This would be why it's failing.
I don't believe we fully supported Native driver in Cr XI. Try downloading CR Xi R2 and install SP6 from this info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I tested it in R2 and the Trusted Authentication option is there so your reports should work.
Thank you

JDBC-ODBC connectivity problem

hi ,i have a j2se 1.4.2 version installed on windows 2000 professional.i have j2me wireless toolkit 2.0,Oracle 8i(8.1.5),tomcat 4.0 running on system.I have tried to connect to the database in Oracle through JDBC-ODBC bridge but it becomes non-responsive.The same has been working well with Oracle 9i versions and also in Oracle 8i when ODBC driver is selected as Microsoft ODBC drivers for Oracle but not with Oracle drivers for Oracle.Can anybody tell me the compatibilities of JDBC-ODBC bridge versions,oracle and ODBC drivers? And can u tell me how to connect to oracle through a pure Java JDBC drivers on a standalone system?

well,i think nobody has interest in my question.I have asked two questions.
1)Can anybody tell me the compatibilities of JDBC-ODBC bridge versions,oracle and ODBC drivers?
2)And can u tell me how to connect to oracle through a pure Java JDBC drivers (type 4 drivers) on a standalone system?
But u advise me not to use JDBC-ODBC bridge without studying the other part.

RPAS ODBC connection problem

I’m working on integration of OBIEE and RPAS, and I could use some help. Could anyone help me with a problem?
I’m trying to connect the RPAS ODBC driver from my pc to the RPAS running in a Linux Virtual Machine.
I’ve already connected that to the Management Console and, when I create an ODBC connection the Service Data Source names are presented to me (I think the connection is working). But, when I try to test the connection, I receive a message telling the connection was closed(dropped?) unexpectedly.
any ideia of whats happening?

JDBC - Oracle 8.1.7 Connection Problem

Hi,
Things were working great as long as i was with Oracle 8.1.6. All hell broke loose as soon as i tried to connect to Oracle 8.1.7. Only the IP, Service name, DB_Id & Db_Pass has changed in the connection string. Yet on the below statement
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.172.34:1521:epcjobs","epcperf","epcperf");
i get the following exception
java.sql.SQLException: Protocol violation
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.check_error(DBError.java:391)
at oracle.jdbc.ttc7.O3log.receive2nd(O3log.java:651)
at oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTC7Protocol.logon(TTC7Protocol.java:172)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:103)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:148)
Seems some problem in the protocol or sub-protocol name or do i have to change my Oracle Drivers?
If any one has encountered this issue, please enlighten me.
Note: I can connect successfully using SQL+.
many thanks in advance,
Pawan

Just a guess...
The Oracle comm processes (net8 or whatever it is called) allows for different protocols to communicate. Your server is set up for a different protocol than the old one was. Either the client or the server needs to adjust.
You can test this by creating a TSN and using sqlplus to connect. Once it works open up the TSN file (*.ora?) and get the correct params from there.

32 bit vs 64 bit odbc connection problems

Good morning,
I am trying to connect a powershell script that worked fine on a 32 bit system, but now will not work on a 64 bit system. This script connects to a odbc connection and connects to a remedy ticket system and pulls information to move over to my Outlook
calendar.
The error am getting is:
Exception calling "Open" with "0" argument(s): "ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application"
At C:\Users\Public\Documents\RemedyCRQ.ps1:25 char:17
+ $connection.Open <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
The code that is running this is below:
$script:showWindowAsync = Add-Type –memberDefinition @”
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
“@ -name “Win32ShowWindowAsync” -namespace Win32Functions –passThru
$null = $showWindowAsync::ShowWindowAsync((Get-Process –id $pid).MainWindowHandle, 2)
$connection = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$command = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand
$command.Connection = $connection
$remedyTickets = @()
$connectionString = "DSN=remedy"
$connection.ConnectionString = $connectionString
$connection.Open()
I would appreciate it if someone had some insight to offer. I've looked around and have created the ODBC connection on the 32 bit odbc version c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. Doesn't seem to have changed anything. Ive created it both
as a user and system DSN.

Add the below code in to your Script.
if ([environment]::Is64BitProcess -eq $True)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "script filename"
Exit
Note: The path I used is for Windows 7, you need to figure out the path for your OS.

ODBC Connection problems

If anyone can help, please do - I've been at this for 8 hours now and am no further forward!
I'm trying to create a form with about 10 fields (2 of which are drop down lists) that users will enter data into over an intranet. The data should then go into an Access 2000 table sitting on a server.
For the moment though, everything I'm doing is local to my own PC (no test environment)and I've created the ODBC links through system DSN. The connection tests fine, but when I try to link to my table within Adobe Designer (the OLEDB Connection Dialog box) I get a "Could Not Open Table "tablename"" error message.
I've noticed that at this point, my access lock file appears in my file system but this shouldn't make a difference - I've written fairly complex sytems using basic Access built in tools but this is a flat file so should be simple (or so I thought). I also can't delete the lock file until I come out of the designer.
I don't know where to start with XML, SQL or VB so everything I'm using is built into the software. I've read most of the forum postings and I'm hopeing that as a lot of you know much more about web technologies that this NewB you'd be able to help....
Thanks in advance.

Connection sor Source XXXXX faild because the environment is not trusted
How can I make the environment trusted?

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.

Frm-40375 and ora-306500 with ODBC connection

Hi experts,
I am getting frm-40375 , ora-306500 when clicking a button on form , the code behind the button is actually connecting to a database other than oracle using the ODBC connection and importing data in variables and than inserting in an oracle table.
The error only appears on other PCs and not on my pc , means there is no problem in the code and is working fine on my pc (importing the desired data when using my pc).
The question is what is missing on other PCs or in other words what is additional component in my PC.
Please tell when and why this ora-306500 occurs.
Hope I defined the problem correctly.
(the following is part of the code
connection_string:='user/pass123@ODBC:abcd123';
connection_id := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CONNECTION(connection_string);
cursorID := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR(connection_id);
Using Oracle 9i Database
and 6i Forms
Thanks in advance
Edited by: zulfffi on Jun 29, 2010 11:08 PM

ora-306500I seriously doubt this is actual error code.
AFAIK - Oracle errors have not yet reached 6 decimal places.
please use COPY & PASTE in the future

ODBC connection to Oracle 7 will not reset

We are using Oracle JDBC drivers for all but one of our
datasources which is an old Oracle 7 database. The ODBC connection
to this database will not reset when the database is bounced or the
database server is rebooted. We have to restart the ODBC service to
reset the connection. Is there another way to do this automatically
or perhaps another driver out there we can use? We are running
ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise.

Wow, I can't believe that you are still using Oracle 7. In
fact, unless you are on 7.3.4 you aren’t even Y2K compliant.
Of course, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade path from 7.x
to 10g, but I would consider migrating off of 7 to anything else.
Otherwise, you are going to have more and more compatibility
problems. In fact, you can no longer even get ODBC drivers from
Oracle for versions older than 9i.
Good luck.

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

How to use ODBC connection specified on Linux containing Oracle BI EE 11g on BI Administration?

I have Oracle BI server (OBIEE 11g) installed on a Linux machine. I want to use a MySQL database running on same machine for reporting. I need to create Subject Area from the MySQL database.
However, I am having problem creating connection pool from the MySQL database. BI Administration runs only on Windows and I can't see ODBC connections on Linux even when I opened BI from Linux in online mode in BI Administration. I have created ODBC on Windows, but it's giving me a "Failed to perform requested action" when trying to import metadata.
For the record, everything works fine when everything is installed on Windows.
