Oracle Call Interface Code (OCI)

Does anyone know a good source of example code or tutorials for OCI (Oracle 8i)?
(Have already looked at the demo code and the docs, which aren't overly helpful.)

quit wasting your time with the oci

Need suggestion for a topic in Oracle Call Interface

Dear All,
I am kiran working as a TSE for EAI project.
I need a small clarification with respect to Oracle Call Interface.
My problem is as follows:
"I am doing a delete transaction in my application and not committing it, but when my program is killed externally, I observed that the transactions are being committed.
I thought it is a very strange behavior, as an aborted transaction should be rolled back.
But my PL told me that it the behavior OCI and got nothing to do with our application."
Now My question is, whether can we stop/(switch off) that auto commit option for OCI( Oracle Call Interface.
Awaiting for an earlier response.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran

Here is some information from Oracle's documentation (Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide.
Commit or Rollback
An application commits changes to the database by calling OCITransCommit(). This call uses a service context as one of its parameters. The transaction is associated with the service context whose changes are committed. This transaction can be explicitly created by the application or implicitly created when the application modifies the database.
Note:
Using the OCI_COMMIT_ON_SUCCESS mode of the OCIExecute() call, the application can selectively commit transactions at the end of each statement execution, saving an extra round trip.
To roll back a transaction, use the OCITransRollback() call.
If an application disconnects from Oracle in some way other than a normal logoff, such as losing a network connection, and OCITransCommit() has not been called, all active transactions are rolled back automatically.

Trying to run SQLPlus: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface (again)

Dear all
I am trying to install Oracle Instant Client on my powerpc-32bit running Linux. I just obtained these packages:
instantclient-basic-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
According to the document <http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ape.htm> these two are enough for me to use.
I also followed the instruction on the document, by:
1. Extract everything to /usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
/usr/local:$ unzip instantclient-basic-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
/usr/local:$ unzip instantclient-sqlplus-linuxppc32-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip
2. export variables:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
$ export SQLPATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2/
$ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
$ export PATH=/usr/local/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
($LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $SQLPATH was empty before I do the above.)
(I didn't set $ORACLE_HOME because the document didn't require me to do so when I install sqlplus/oracle-client-basic from zip files. However I do tried to set it, doesn't help either.)
3. run:
$ sqlplus jxpado/[email protected]/XEXDB
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
I looked up causes of SP2-1503:
Check that the Oracle environment or registry entries are consistent and correct.Yes. Environment is correct (only 3 variables);
If using the SQL*Plus Instant Client make sure the SQL*Plus
and Oracle libraries are from the same release. Yes, as you can tell from package zip file names.
Make sure you have read access to the libraries.True. I am very sure I have read access to all files there.
So what can I do here? I tried to follow instructions as clear / complete as possible.
I am sure sqlplus didn't even try to connect to the server at gtz.ods.org because I put a network traffic listener there to monitor access to the server.

Unfortunately there's a bunch of possible reasons for this error combination. I recommend you search metalink for SP2-1503 to get a list.

SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface

Hello All,
I have installed Oracle 10g R1 on my new HP laptop with OS as Windows 7 and the installation was successful.
But, unfortunately while trying to connect to the DB with the sqlplus /nolog command, the below error is re- occuring
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly.
Please, let me know if this is an oracle bug and suggest me if i need to install an upgrade patch.
Regards,
Oracle

Hi.. from oracle metalink
Oracle Database releases "9iR2 (9.2.0.x), 10gR1 (10.1.0.x), 10gR2 (10.2.0.x) and 11gR1 (11.1.0.x)" are not Certified/Supported to install/run on Microsoft Windows 7.
"Microsoft Windows 7" certification will begin with "Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.x)". That means, Oracle Database 11gR2 will be the first Oracle Database product certified/supported to install/run on "Microsoft Windows 7".

Oracle Call Interface

Hi,
I didn't find the OCI lib on the Oracle 8.0.5/Linux cdrom. does
anybody know if Oracle has planed to port it on this plateform?
Thanks
Raphal

If the original SQL statement did not require a bind it
should not require a bind when moving to OCI 9i
(this is a property of the statement and not
of the OCI version).
There should be no issues with reusing a statement
handle after allocation. I think that they are reusable
as long as you do StmtPrepare and any necessary
define/bind for any new statements, i.e.:
OCIHandleAlloc (stmthp, ... OCI_HTYPE_STMT);
OCIStmtPrepare (stmthp, sqlstmt1,...);
/* optional bind/defines */
OCIStmtExec (stmthp, ...);
OCIStmtPrepare (stmthp, sqlstmt2,...);
/* optional bind/defines */
OCIStmtExec (stmthp, ...);
As for the kghalo error, you may want to confirm that
the stmtp is being allocated correctly, with
OCIHandleAlloc. If this doesn't fix your problem,
it might be helpful to post a code snippet here.

Calling Interfaces T codes & BAPI

Hi Gurus,
Im new to the EPA. calling interfaces from SAP R/3 system into portal. Those interfaces have same functionality in T Code & BAPI. We can call those interfaces into portal like transactional Ivies and developing application in WebDynpro. In which scenario T code & WebDynpro application are using ? In performance concern which is good?
Regards,
Priya

Hi Priya,
When you want to get the functionality from R/3 like Sales Order List , you create Adaptive RFC in WebDynpro applications as Models and deployed into server. Finally transactional iView is created for this application and assinging to Page and then Page to Workset and workset to Role.
Person who has this role can access the Iview (SO List).
End user who doesn't have R/3 but have Portal, can access Sales Order List from the portal itself.
If it helps you award points.
Cheers
Venkat.

Error occurs when call interface and database is changed

hi, experts,
I have modified the RPD
I change the database from "Oracle 9i" to "Oracle 10g R2/11g"
changed the call interface of connection pool from "OCI 8i/9i" to "OCI 10g/11g"
after the change,
I got this error on one table on dashboard
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

any patches for .\Src\SQOIGeneratorBuiltIn.cpp????
any alternatives ?
thank you very much!

I use a trick to work around

Oracle C Interface for Oracle XE beta

Hi All,
I'm not entirely sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I'll give it a go anyway.
I've managed to install the Oracle XE database on my Linux box, which was fairly simple and painless (Kudos to Todd). Now, I've managed to define a user, a table, the proper privileges and the proper connections I need.
Now, I would like to connect from my application into the XE via a C/C++ interface. I've downloaded the Programmers Guide (all 1570 pages of it) - I got a serious headache from it.
Can anyone please point me in a direction where I can find information about utilizing OCI in a productive manner, preferably with some sample code that an "Oracle" newbie can figure out?
Regards,
Nir Simionovich

preferably with some sample code that an "Oracle" newbie
can figure out?You can find a few OCI sample programs here:

If you are writing a C++ application, use OCCI which is the C++ interface.

Any risks if call interface and database not matched?

hi experts,
are there any risks if the call interface of connection pool and database (in physical layer) matched ?
for example,
the call interface of connection pool (in physical layer) is selected to "OCI 10g/11g"
the database (in physical layer) is selected to "Oracle 10g R2/11g"
the oracle client on my local computer is "Oracle - OraClient10g"
and the database version is "9.2.0.7.0" (select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_RDBMS_VERSION'; )
thank you very much!

There shouldn't be a problem, the OCI is backward compatible.
regards
John
