Oracle 9i OCI on Tiger (Mac OS 10.4.2)

Hi,
Does anyone have this working?
I've installed the Oracle9i developer release because it seemed like the only way to get the client software for 9i on Mac OS X. I set up a TNSNAMES.ORA file and the ORACLE_HOME and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. After doing this, I was able to use SQL*Plus to connect to a database on another box.
However, when I try to use OCI from within PHP, I get the error:
dyld: Symbol not found: kumainglobals
Referenced from: <my oracle home>/lib/libcommon9.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace
I saw in another thread that some people had this error but never found a solution for it.
Thanks.

Can't you just use the 10g client ?
I have not tested the 9i dev. with oci calls but I would not be surprised if you try this on tiger. That won't work AFAIK.
regards,
Ronald.

JSP demo PTS included with Oracle 9i Developer Release for Mac not working

Hello all, please pardon my ignorance, but I am an Oracle DBA not a JSP programmer.
I have installed Oracle 9i developer release for Mac OSX and it included a demo application in JSP called pts.
I followed all the instruction and it still doesn't seem to work.
When I try to login to the application I get the following exception:
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 3 in the jsp file: /oradev/pts/solmktinit.inc
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.

[javac] import oradev.pts.DBAccess;
I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. I'm sure it's something simple like modifying my classpath or something, but, as I said, I don't know where to begin.
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Similarly, OP needs to MODIFY Snow Leopard by adding the appropriate infrastructure, executables, and configuration to meet the install requirements. Just because that implies a different kernel and system libs doesn't mean it can't be done.
Just don't let the animal rights people (or professional administrator) know about the mods.

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

Oracle 10g OCI based application talking to an Oracle 9i database

Hi all,
Got a question. I have an OCI C++ application that is written using the Oracle 10g OCI includes, etc ... This of course is running on a 10g client. The client OS is actually a Windows x64 system since 10g is the only native OCI client right now for 64 bit Windows systems. So this all works fine. Now, I am communicating with an Oracle 9i database server. Is there anything wrong or invalid about this configuration ? I didn't think that there was but I was asked to confirm this, that is having an Oracle 10g client communicating with an Oracle 9i database. Our application is making very straight forward OCI calls, and we are not using any of the newer OCI calls that were introduced in 10g, just the ones that are available in 9i OCI.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Thanks for the reply.
Actually I thought that the OCCI forum was for Object oriented OCI, so while I'm using C++, I'm not using the object oriented side of OCI, just using the normal OCI calls. Guess I should have been a little clearer in my original post.
But my main question really concerned the version of the client and the version of the database which you answered.
Thanks,
Nick

Will Oracle supports "Installations" on Tiger? Will MacOSX/Intel supported?

Oracle 10g runs well on Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC) but is unable to install! Are there plans to fix it? And what's about Mac OS X (Intel)? The most problem should be byte-ordering ... no problem for Oracle i think, they supports MSB and LSB as well!
Any reaction for Oracle since now?

I certainly hope not. Lets not forget that it is not a small change. For some unknown reason oracle has datafiles that have formats inside that are cpu dependent. The shift to intel also means shifting from Big Endian to Little Endian cpus. This can not be solved by setting a flag in xcode 2.1, this wil mean a rewrite of more than a few lines of code. I expect that most of this code will be isolated to a few libraries.
I think that as long as Apples plans for the xserve are not known, oracle won't do anything and I can't blame them for it. By the end of the year 10Gr2 and after that we will see.

Ronald

But It should have been

The same class runs fine if I use Thin driver.
Can anyone please help me solve this issue.

Korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3

Hello,
I need to use the korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3
but I can not find the icon or some bars to choose for the direct input in korean input menu.
the korean direct input is used to be in Mac OS X 10.3
can someone help me out?
I really need this function.
Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5G Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Yes, it makes different when I tied with boris graffiti 4.0.
when I type korean word in boris graffiti program using "direct input" on mac os x 10.3, there is no promblem typing korean.
But using "syllable" in mac os x 10.4, when I type the korean letter, it automatical erase the word that I typed.
for example, if I type "gift to my friend" in korean, I try to type "g" and when I type "i", "g" is erased.
And using "word" option, the problem is whenever I use space bar or enter key between word, and try to enter the next word, the previous word I typed is erased,
for example, "gift to my friend", I type "gift" and I need to enter space between "gift" and "to",
so after press the spase bar, and try to type "to", the "gift" is erased.
I hope that you could understand what I tring to explain, and I was wondering if there is any solution for this problem.

Migration Assistant from Tiger Mac to new Leopard MBP can't see disk

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook Pro and am trying to migrate from my Tiger-based (10.4.10) dual 1 GHz Mac (mirrored-drive door) desktop machine. The boot drive on the Tiger machine is actually partitioned into an emergency boot drive of a few GB and my main working drive ("Macintosh HD"). When I run Migration Assistant (MA) on my MBP (after connecting the 6-pin Firewire cable and restarting the Tiger Mac in target disk mode), the MBP sees only the emergency boot-up partition and not the main working partition from which I want to migrate.
I tried MA on my MBP connected to a different Mac with no HD partitions, and it sees "Macintosh HD" just fine, so I think all the new hardware is okay as well as the Firewire cable.
Any ideas?
-Eric

Thanks for the info. I do know something about this (being a HW engineer), but I would have thought that the IDE master/slave jumpers would affect all the partitions on the disk. Since my emergency-boot partition is visible, I take that to mean that the IDE master/slave jumper issue is a non-issue for me.
I don't know if this helps, but here's what Disk Utility reports about the disk (not the volumes residing on it):

Now, onto the partitions which I know less about.
Here's what Disk Utility says about the Macintosh HD partition:

I don't know how to determine from the above what the "first" partition would be. I don't know how to post an attachment here otherwise I'd show a screen shot, but when I got into Disk Utility's partition tab, the emergency-boot partition (called Clean Boot) shows up at the bottom of the space indicating all of the HD's space, and Macintosh HD shows above Clean Boot.
So what are my options? Can I repartition w/o loosing Macintosh HD (I'm willing to loose the other partition Clean Boot)? Any way to change the partition numbers?
I was thinking of cloning Macintosh HD to another HD and then migrating from that. Any experience with that?
Thanks, Eric

Toad Error - Cannot load OCI DLL: C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_1\oci.dll

Hello All,
Help needed to fix this error.
We are getting the below error from Toad after fresh install on Windows 7 64 Bit.
Toad for Oracle Base
Version: 10.6.1.3
Cannot load OCI DLL: C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_1\oci.dll
We are using the Oracle Instant Client (instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.2.0).
We are able to connect to the database from the command line successfully, but when we tried to launch the Toad and connect it we are getting the above error.
How do we fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

So is this a Toad issue or an Oracle client issue?More like a general software or programming "issue". If Toad (or other program) is 32-bit, then loaded libraries (e.g. Oracle Client dll's) needs to be 32-bit.
I'm sure this is documented in requirements for Toad. See e.g. [url http://toadfororacle.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/4264-102-12585/10.6_ReleaseNotes.htm#SystemRequirements]Toad 10.6 Release notes.

Oracle Client NOT INSTANT on Mac OSX Tiger NOT X SERVER PPC

Has anyone been able to install The Oracle Mac Client from on a g4 ppc. It has tiger and the latest updates ie java5 and gcc 4.
I have seen many postings on installing Oracle 10g on Tiger ppc but not just the client. Does anyone have any experience with this. With some many developers going to macs, I would imagine someone has to.

Oracle 9i Client Install on Mac OSX

Is there a way to just install the Oracle client on Mac OSX 10.2.7 (not OS X Server)?
I downloaded the 9.2 Mac installer, but everything I've seen/read shows this installation will install the DB server and set up a database.
If anyone knows, please let me know... I'm just looking to connect (through PHP CLI) to a Oracle DB within our corporation. Thanks.

Hi,
Checkout MacSQL on www.rtlabs.com, there is info on installing Oracle OCI client and a link to the client only software.

Geocoding in Oracle with the 2008 TIGER data

Hello everyone,
I am new to Oracle Spatial and am wondering if it is possible to use the 2008 TIGER shapefile data with Oracle Spatial's Geocoding package. From the information that I have read so far, it looks like I would have to convert the TIGER data into a specific format (the GC_ tables) in order for it to be Geocoded. So I guess my questions are as follows:
Is this even possible?
If it is possible, how difficult would it be to convert the data?
Are there any tools/resources out there to help with this?
Is Navteq the only company that supplies data in the proper format to be used by Oracle's geocoding package? I did import their sample data and get a proof of concept working with that pretty easily, but due to the cost of the data, using their data does not appear to be an option for us.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,
I am unsure if the tiger data includes the attribution required for the Oracle geocoder to work.
Have you been quoted a price by NAVTEQ? Most customers are surprised by how affordable the geocoding data is.
Please feel free to contact me: daniel dot abugov at navteq dot com
Thanks and good luck,
Dan
