Oracle Dot Net Connectivity without oracle client

Hi,
I am using dot net 2005 and Oracle 9.2. I need to connect to the oracle database without oracle client being installed. Is this possible?

Hi,
I think is not possible. See if these links below help you:

Can I make Oracle/Microsoft Odbc connection without TNS service???

Hi All,
I want to make ADODB connection to oracle 10g database. For this currently I am using odbc connection, which requires TNS service setup in my pc. Hence I need to install Oracle client on my pc as well. Which requires license.
So is there any alternative, with which I can make my ADODB connection without TNS service implementation. Or any inputs on this will do for me. Only the thing is i need some freeware with which i can do this.
Thnx,
kc

Hi,
Well I think you might have landed in the wrong forum.
This forum is for the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) which is a C programming interface to Oracle.
Your question doesn't look to be about that unless I am misreading it.
Perhaps you are looking for the Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) downloads?
These include client software in addition to the various data access components on Windows.
ODAC is located here:

Calling Dot Net program From oracle Database

Hi
is there any way to call DOT NET program Like C# from oracle database, i mean is there way to call it from pl-sql stored procedure or trigger ..etc
I read that is possible with java , C, C++, but is it possible with C#
Best Regards

If your Oracle database is running on Windows and is a reasonably recent version (I believe 10.1 or later), it has the ability to create .Net stored procedures just like you have the ability to create Java stored procedures. That tends not to be a particularly commonly used feature but it's an option. If you compile your .Net application to a DLL, you could also call it as an external procedure.
More commonly, however, if you're talking about a .Net program that is deployed on a middle tier server, however, would be for the .Net application to expose an API (say, a web service API) that the database could invoke (via UTL_DBWS or UTL_HTTP).

What would be the next step to create a service for the existing databse.
Please help me out on this.

JDBC connection without Oracle listener running

I was wondering if it is possible to establish a connection using jdbc to a local oracle database if there is no listener running. I know that it is possible to do this through sql*plus by setting the ORACLE_SID environment variable, but if possible I need jboss to use this connection and my dba's are concerned over vulnerabilities if the listener is running.
John Millet

The TNSListener for the database is required to be running.
If the TNSListener is not running an error gets generated:
The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.

Non-Oracle Sybase OCA connected to Oracle Forms

The insert is working fine from Oracle forms to the Sybase database. However, when I exit the application it does a rollback (removing all the inserts). I have tried putting NULL; in the ON-ROLLBACK and ON-SAVEPOINT triggers (as recommended in the documentation). I have used the property class suggested in the demo OPEN_DB. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

The permissions might not have set properly .... I would restore the ORACLE_HOME from a backup and follow Michael's recommendation as mentioned in the following thread.
Forms & Reports server - permissions problem

Oracle Data Miner connecting to Oracle DB 10.2.0.1 on WinXP; Error

I think this posting is similar to others however I can not figure it out and hoped that someone can help me.
I am trying to connect to the 10g database (10.2.0.1) on WinXP with Data Miner (10.1.0.2).
I am getting the following error message:
"Cannot connect to specified Data Mining Server. Check connection information and try again".
The Connection Name is "RSSODM". This is a new connection name.
User is ODM
Password is ODM. Secret password. :>)
Host is my machine name
Port is 1521
SID is RSS10G.
I can connect to the ODM schema on the RSS10G database. However I do not see any objects owned by DMSYS. Also, when I executed the odmuser.sql file, it fails to grant DMUSER_ROLE to ODM.
I can not find the DMUSER_ROLE. Did I miss something? Can I manually execute something or should I provide all grants on all objects owned by DMSYS to ODM?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Have a wonderful day/weekend,
Andy
P.S. For anyone leaving near the Gulf states, prayers and thoughts are with you all. :>)

Updated Information as of 9/6/2005 1:05 pm.
I found out several ".sql" file was never executed. For example, dminst1.sql was never executed which corrected some of my issues; could not find DMUSER_ROLE.
I manually executed all the appropriate sql files. I hope I did not miss anything or did it in the correct order or logged in as the correct user.
Also, I tried to use ODMiner logged in as ODM and I was getting the original error message, can not connect to the server..
Then I tried to use ODMIner logged in as DMSYS and now I get another error message. The error message is "Specified Data Mining Server is not compatible. 10.2.0.1.0". The error message appeared in a pop-up window and nothing was seen in the backgroun (MS prompt window).
All error messages were encountered while I was executing the odminer.exe file; used for troubleshooting.
Am I doing something wrong?
Am I do ing something right?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Have a wonderful day/week,
Andy

Oracle Generic Connectivity in Oracle Application Ser ver 10g.

Hi Tak and All!
With the help of your great guidence, I have connect the Generic Connectivty for MS Access and MS Excel successfully in client server environment.
The topology was..
Host A = Custom installation of Oracle9i database + MS ACCESS
Host B = Oracle 9i Database (Complete)
But...
tell me How the Oracle Generic Connectivity will connect in ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER. What will be the concept and topology? Because the client only have the URL which is used for getting application on browser.
I will be extremely thankful.
All these forums always help me.
Thanks
Rana Adnan

It depends. Oracle Reports can connect to Oracle and non-Oracle databases directly, without using Generic Connectivity.
Your Forms application would presumably connect only to the Oracle database. The Oracle database might well connect to other Oracle and non-Oracle databases via database links. The non-Oracle database links would utilize Generic Connectivity.
Given the three machines A, B, and C
A could connect to B and B could connect to C
A could connect to C for reporting queries

Error connecting to Oracle 11g Database

Hi All
I am testing .NET connectivity to Oracle 11g and I am not successful for a while.
I've tried to connect to database using library included in Oracle 10.2.0.3 Client and as a result I've got "invalid username or password" error. Then I've tried to use ORAC 11.1.0.5.10beta. I successfully connected to the server, but when I try to exec any query my program hangs.
Both of them work correctly with Oracle 9i database.
Also I've tried Microsoft .NET provider and it connects and executes queries fine (though 3 times slower).
How do you think what is reason or how can I find the reason?

Software product to connect to oracle dabase

I am currently using a warehouse software based on oracle database. I have developped some ODBC links between Excel / Access and Oracle for those Pcs who are using that software. However, I would like all workstations to have access to the oracle database without installing that warehouse software. I' m sure that there is a tool within the Oracle suite (version 8.0.x) which can be used as 'runtime' product. Can someone help me with giving me the name of that product and where I can find it ?

You can do a client-only install of Oracle onto a PC, which will allow you to use the Oracle ODBC driver. You can even create a response file for the Oracle Universal Installer which will select and install only those portions of the Oracle client that you need. Search for 'response files' on tahiti.oracle.com (Oracle's documentation site) to get instructions on this.
There are third-parties that have producted "thin" ODBC drivers for Oracle which will connect without any Oracle client software (much like a type-4 JDBC driver), but these aren't free. DataDirect has one, and I believe OpenLink does as well.

'TNS: no listener' usually means that your listener hasn't been started. Try a lsnrctl status to find out whether your Listener is actually running.

Connect to Oracle without Oracle Client in Windows?

Hi All,
Is there anyway to connect to Oracle DB without any installation of Oracle Product in Client?
I am using MS ODBC Driver Oracle but It need the "Data Source Name"
It seems that client machine do need to Setup the NET 8 Configure / Tnsname.ora
I can try to set any thing in Oracle Server, But want to minimize the effort doing on the client (Because there are many!).
I am using Visual Basic, WIN XP as client Platform. WIN 2K as Oracle DB Server.
Can anybody give me a hand. Thank you very much!
Eric Yuen

You'll need to install Oracle Client in the client machine. ODBC (or other) connections need OCI and Oracle Net layers.
The Oracle ODBC has a lot of dependencies, probably a thousand files. Unfortunately Client is pretty heavy... managewize also. So that's why you should develop "internet apps". :)

Oracle 11 g connection with asp dot net in visual studio 2008

Hi to all,
My application is using oracle 11 g as database in an asp dot net project . this was basically a project in asp dot net with sql server as a database . but now this need oracle 11 g as database . I have complete the db work, but i m getting the connection problem in visual studio (2008) with oracle 11 g .
I know for this it need a driver oracle.data.access ,, i do nt know which version it need ?
I have this dll . but version of it may be earlier. thats why it is not working properly
i have 11 g installed on the server computer , and we can only use it only on browser , I have a global.asax as a file in my dot net project in which connection string is written but i m getting error , something like ora10cc .
first i do not know , which odac version i have to download i have a link for this ,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-101290.html
but which version exactly , this page is so confusing, for oracle 11 g, and visual studio 2008 which version will be perfect
and then where the dll will be there. after getting the setup, Is i need to install that setup?
one more confusion , where i have to install that odac , on my computer system . or on the server side system , I just need that dll file ,,
One more thing , Is there any error in my connection string ,,
my connection is as follows
"Persist Security Info=False; User ID= system; Initial Catalog=LabTrack;Server=Comp-34;Data Source=192.168.1.61\oracle11g;Password=abcd1234; DBA Privilege=normal;"
192.168.1.61 is ip addres of system, where my oracle 11 g is install ,
and comp-32 is my user name
labtrack is my db name
Is there any need of provider name ?
sumbody pls help me
i m getting problem in at from 3 days
If u can then contact me , on [email protected] , otherwise reply me here
thanks in advance
regards Nimish Goel

The file at the top of that link should work fine with Oracle 11g.
I would start trying to get the client to work outside of Visual Studio, first. That way you can localize your issues.
Once you get the Oracle client connected to the Oracle server, then uou can start working on Visual Studio.
As for where to install it, I'd say start with your computer. I'm not sure how you do your development, but that would probably be a good place to start.
You may want a different download for the web server as I assume you wouldn't need the special Visual Studio tools on it. But yes, it will need whichever Oracle provider you choose installed on it as well.

HOW CONNECT TO ORACLE DB WITHOUT CLIENT MOTOR DB?

We have the ORACLE database in the UNIX server and the visual basic application in the NT server, and ths local machines connected.
The question is if it4s possible connect to the oracle the local computers without install the client part of oracle.
HOW? with the ODBC driver?HOW?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english,
Jasone

Both the Oracle7 and the Oracle8 driver rely upon OCI and other parts of the Oracle client in order to connect and to do their job. I suspect that you may have been mislead into believing that the Oracle7 drivers could be downloaded and installed without the Oracle client by the different naming convention. Oracle7 ODBC drivers on the download page are listed as "Version 2.5.3.1.0 for SQL*Net 2.3 Windows" as opposed to Oracle8 drivers, which appear as "Version 8.1.7.3.0 for Net8 Client 8.1.7.0.0 (ODBC Version 3.51)". In Oracle7, the client software was named SQL*Net. In Oracle8 and beyond, SQL*Net was renamed to Net8 Client because it was clearer. Both refer to the client portion of the Oracle stack.
The error message you're receiving indicates that you're using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle, not an Oracle ODBC driver. It also indicates that the driver is failing because it is unable to call into the appropriate Oracle client stack to get any of its work done.
It's theoretically possible that an ODBC driver could be written that relied only on the Oracle wire protocol, which would allow you to install the driver without installing the Oracle client. This would be a generally monsterous undertaking, however, and I'm not aware of anyone doing so.
