Oracle ODBC driver configuration

Alright so I just installed oracle 10g enterprise edition on my home pc (windblows xp pro - no service packs eh :* )
I can connect to the database's sqlplus with system / password / orcl
my tnsnames.ora looks like
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DNTFCUKWITHMYIP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
so Now i want to add a system dsn so that I can use toady to work with my database right?
but when i go to add the Oracle in OraDb10g_home1 and throw in the TNS service name as ORCL it bombs out and says
Unable to connect
SQLState=IM003
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 998 (Oracle in OraDb10g_home1)
what does one need to do here?
helppppppppp!!!!!

Hi,
if you have not fixed it simply go the "Environment Variables" section under system and add the full path to the Oracle 10 home to the front of the PATH environment variable and a semji-colon ';' after it to seperate the path from the next variable.
I ran into this problem when I installed Disco stuff on my machine and this fixed it.
Good luck

ORACLE ODBC DRIVER를 이용하여 ORACLE DATABASE에 접속하는 방법 (8.X이상)

제품 : ODBC
작성날짜 : 2003-03-27
ORACLE ODBC DRIVER를 이용하여 ORACLE DATABASE에 접속하는 방법 (8.X이상)
=========================================================
PURPOSE
Oracle Client가 8.X version인 경우, Oracle ODBC driver를 설치하고 Oracle
database에 접속하는 방법을 살펴본다.
Explanation
1. 다음 site에서 Oracle ODBC driver를 download받는다.
- http://otn.oracle.com에 접속한다.
- downloads 항목을 선택하고 다음 페이지로 이동한다.
- 오른쪽 끝쪽의 Technologies, Utilities, and Drivers TAB부분에,
Oracle ODBC Drivers를 선택한다.
- login 화면이 나타나고 login하여 접속하면 Oracle ODBC driver가 version별로
download받을 수 있도록 나타난다.
이때, version은 ODBC driver를 설치하고자 하는 client의 Oracle Client
version과 동일한 것을 사용한다. 접속하고자 하는 db version에 맞추는것이
아님을 유의한다.
- 해당 version을 선택하고 다음 page에서,
ELIGIBILITY EXPORT RESTRICTIONS 부분에 나타나는 5개 항목을 모두 표시한
상태에서 끝에 I ACCEPT button을 누른다.
- 해당 version의 .exe file을 download받는다.
2. download 받은 odbc를 install한다.
- 예를 들어 download받은 화일이 ora9202.exe라고 가정한다.
- 이것을 실행시키면 압축이 자동으로 풀리는데 미리 d:\odbc와 같이 directory를
만들어 둔 후 해당 directory에 압축이 풀리도록 한다.
- 이미 Oracle Client 설치시 설치된 Oracle Universal Installer를 실행한다.
- Universal Installer에서 '화일 위치' 항목에서 '소스' 부분에 d:\odbc쪽을
선택하면, d:\odbc\Disk1\state\product.jar가 선택되는데 이러한 상태에서,
아래 '대상' 부분에서는 Oracle Client가 설치되어 있는 ORACLE_HOME이름을
선택하여 같은 ORACLE_HOME을 base로 odbc가 설치되도록 한다.
3. ODBC configuration을 설정하고 연결을 테스트한다.
- install이 끝나면, windows의 '시작'->'프로그램'->해당 oracle_home을
선택하고 'Network Administration'-> 'Microsoft ODBC Administrator'를
선택한다.
- 사용자 DSN 혹은 시스템 DSN TAB상태에서, 오른쪽에 '추가' button을 누른다.
- 데이타원본을 설정할 드라이버 선택 부분에서,
'Oracle in oracle8i_home' 과 같이 해당 oracle_home을 나타내는 oracle을
선택하고 '마침'을 누른다.
- 'Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration' windows가 나타나게 되는데, 여기서
- Data Source Name: application에서 사용할 data source이름을 지정한다.
- Description: 임의로 설명을 적을 수 있다.
- TNS Service Name: Oralce client의 %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory의
tnsnames.ora file내의 TNS 서비스 명을 적는다. 이 TNS 서비스 명을
이용해서 sqlplus와 같이 odbc를 거치지 않고도 db server로 접속시 문제가
없어야 한다. 미리 sqlplus에서 test해볼것을 권장한다.
sqlplus상에서 username/passwd뒤에 @표시 뒤에 적는 글자를 의미하는 것이다.
- User ID: scott/tiger와 같이 접속하고자 하는 username/password를 적는다.
- 오른쪽에 'Test Connection' button을 선택하여 접속이 잘 되는지를 test한다.

Oracle ODBC Driver 10.02.00.04 sqora32.dll with /*+ RULE */ base hints

Hi Everybody,
I have a problem with SQL queries with /*+ RULE */ base hints being posted to an Oracle database. I have reason to believe that these queries are generated by the Oracle ODBC Driver itself. Although I don't have a performance problem per se, I need to reduce these hints to a minimum so we can fine-tune the database as a whole.
* The views that are hit are always the same: All_Objects, All_Arguments, All_Synonyms,
* We are using Oracle ODBC driver 10.02.00.04 for Windows, the database server is a RS6000 with AIX and Oracle 10g,
* Aside Oracle Development tools, there are no applications, reports or similar gadgets that query the tables described above.
I would really appreciate any help about this issue.
Here is an example of the type of queries that I'm writing about:
SELECT /*+ RULE */ '', b.owner, decode (b.object_type, 'PACKAGE', CONCAT( CONCAT (b.object_name, '.'), a.object_name), b.object_name), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, decode (b.object_type, 'PACKAGE', decode(a.position, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0), decode(b.object_type, 'PROCEDURE', 1, 'FUNCTION', 2, 0))
FROM ALL_ARGUMENTS a, ALL_OBJECTS b
WHERE ( b.object_type = 'PROCEDURE' OR b.object_type = 'FUNCTION' ) AND b.object_id = a.object_id AND (a.sequence=1 OR a.sequence=0) AND b.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND b.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' UNION
SELECT /*+ RULE */ '', b.owner,b.object_name,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,decode(b.object_type, 'PROCEDURE', 1, 'FUNCTION', 2, 0)
FROM ALL_OBJECTS b
WHERE (b.object_type = 'PROCEDURE' OR b.object_type = 'FUNCTION') AND b.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND b.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' UNION
SELECT /*+ RULE */ distinct '', a.owner,CONCAT(CONCAT (a.package_name, '.'), a.object_name),NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,decode(a.position, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0)
FROM ALL_ARGUMENTS a
WHERE (a.sequence=1 OR a.sequence=0) AND a.OBJECT_NAME = 'MYTABLE' AND a.OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA' ORDER BY 2,3

Manuel

Hi Greg,
Thank you for your answer. One of the things that we did when we migrated to Oracle 10g was to ensure that the "Disable Rule Base Hints" flag, located in the "Work-arounds" tab in the ODBC DSN window is checked. We previously refreshed all Microsoft's Access databases to use this new DSN connection. Still, the hints are there.
However... we may have been able to link these calls to these Oracle System Catalog views, with a custom application that launces Crystal Reports.
Although we all know that Crystal Reports also caches ODBC DSN configuration settings, I must say that these same Crystal Reports do not generate hints when called from their InfoView server.
We will proceed to modify the custom application, overridding the dissable rule-base hint work-around with the string "DRH=T" on the connection string. Next week we will know if this works.
Best Regards,
Manuel

Oracle ODBC driver and TIMESTAMP with timezone

Does anyone know if it is possible to return data from a "TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE" column using the Oracle ODBC driver and an ADO Recordset?
I am using the Oracle driver version 10.2.0.2 and TIMESTAMP fields work fine.
I can call Recordset->Open() with a query like "SELECT * FROM TABLE" when the table contains a column of type timestamp with timezone but when I execute a statement to see if there are results as in
if (!(srcRecsetPtr->BOF && srcRecsetPtr->EndOfFile))
my application throws an unhandled exception and exits. The exception is not a COM exception and I'm not sure how to get back additional information if that's possible.
The only information I've been able to find in searching TechNet and MetaLink is that a workaround is to wrap the columns in a TO_CHAR or TO_DATE conversion first but that's not a good solution for my problem since I am executing user specified SQL which may join multiple tables.
I've found one other note that says the documentation should be corrected and that these fields are NOT supported period (Bug #4011640).
I've experimented with the Bind Timestamp as Date option in the ODBC connection and with various ALTER SESSION settings to attempt to change the NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT but I have been unable to get past the problem.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Justin
Thanks for your help.
I tried what you mentioned and I could connect myself via SQL*Plus without passing a password and a login, Extern authentification seems to work and my user seems to be right configurated.
But he problem goes on via ODBC. When I test connection in the ODBC Data Source Administrator of Windows XP, test fails and seems to forbid connection without userID and password. When I try to connect via ODBC in my program the same problem appears : "Unable to connect SQLSTATE=28000 [Oracle][ODBC][ORA]Ora-01017: Invalid username/password;logon denied" I could not connect in this way.. What's wrong ?

CR Oracle ODBC Driver

I recently had to reinstall my operating system (Windows XP Pro 32 bit) and applications, which included Crystal Reports. CR was originally setup to access our companies database tables. I also had and ODBC connection setup for CR.
I'm having trouble finding the right ODBC software to reinstall so that the CR Oracle ODBC Driver 5.0 shows up in the Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC)/ Drivers. The only ODBC driver that shows up is the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle, which won't connect.
Once I have the CR ODBC Driver, then I just need to configure it in the System DSN, and copy the sqlnet.ora and tsnnames.ora files into C:\oracle\ora92\network\ADMIN, which is where it is located on another computer that can connect.
Does anybody know which Oracle software would work for the CR driver issue? Is Oracle supposed to be installed prior to CR so the driver shows up?
It's been several years since this was originallly setup, and not quite sure how to get the CR driver.
Please help! Thanks for your assistance.

if u r running the CR in the current user then you can make the ODBC
in user dsn or System dsn
you are to select the Microsoft ODBC for ORACLE
Then at configuration time the Server will be the Service Name which you have entered in the TNSNAMES.ORA File
eg orcl.
then user name eg; scott
then password as scott;
thne your odbc is created...
you can work with CR with this odbc
if your odbc still not working then go for the latest drivers provider for the oracle 10g
do it
best of luck..

Installed Oracle 9.2 Administrator - No Oracle ODBC Driver Option Found

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I just recently de-installed Oracle 8i on my laptop and installed Oracle 9.2. Once I finished installing 9.2, I went to set up a data source and realized that there is no Oracle ODBC Driver option available when setting up my datasource. In addition, I am unable to configure or delete any of my existing data sources that were created with the Oracle ODBC Driver.
I have de-installed and re-installed 9.2 Administrator at least four times now. In between the installs, I have removed the old Oracle directories, services, entries in my registry and PATH. The result is still the same, not Oracle ODBC Driver option available after the installation. I get no errors when installing and the ODBC Drivers indicate that they have been installed. I have even tried re-installing the drivers and still get nothing.
Please help.

ORACLE ODBC DRIVER INSTALLATION

I have downloaded Oracle8 client on my windows95 PC. It is showing ODBC driver installed in the installed components list.
But this driver is not coming up in the drivers list of ODBC Data Source Administrator screen.
Could any body help me in this regard.
Thanks in advace

If you look at the following key in your registry, you should see an entry "Oracle ODBC Driver" with data "Installed".
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers
There should also be a key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Oracle ODBC Driver
with various configuration parameters set. If either of these keys is not there, I suspect you'll have to re-install the ODBC driver.

Oracle ODBC driver with Access Application

I get a problem when using MS-Access 2007 DAO recordset built on table hosted by an Oracle database 10g and connected thru ODBC
The table scheme is :
idPartenaire : number(11)
libelle : varchar2(250)
code : varchar2(5)
actif : number(1)
idCollege :numner(11)
idPartenaire is generated by a sequence read in a trigger fired before insert on th table.
The code I use in Access is :
The query associated with the form is :
"select * from table1"
and the event procedure connected to a button on the form is :
Private Sub Commande0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Me.Recordset.AddNew
Me.Recordset!libelle = CStr(Rnd) ' some value
Me.Recordset!code = “”
Me.Recordset!actif = -1
Me.Recordset!idCollege = 1
Me.Recordset.Update
Me.Recordset.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.LastModified
Dim idtemp As Long
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
Me.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "idPartenaire = " & idtemp
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
When I run this code, I get an error 3167 (current record is deleted) on the line :
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
If I change the ligne :
Me.Recordset!code = “”
By :
Me.Recordset!code = “xxxx”
or if I comment this line, the error does not appear and I get the right value in idtemp variable.
I tried also with the same table in a SQL Server database table. In this case it works fine in all cases.
So, I seems that the problem is due to the Oracle ODBC driver. I tried with different versions of Oracle ODBC drivers (v10.0.2.4, v11.1.6)
I search on Internet but I have not found any explanation or solution.
Does anybody experiment the same problem (and find a solution)?
Gilles Roussel.

The two lines you quote aren't errors, they're warnings and they're pretty standard fare. If there isn't anything else in the ODBC log, then the driver isn't returning any errors. I'm not sure why Access is failing, so let's look at the client configuration first.
- I assume you've successfully installed the 8.1.6 client on the machine with Access. Were there any errors during the install?
- You say you're using the 8.1.6 version of the Oracle ODBC driver-- can you look to see what the last digit of the version is? If possible, I'd start by downloading the most recent 8.1.6.x ODBC driver from OTN.
- Check which version of the MDAC you have installed (new versions & a version checker are available from Microsoft at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
- The ODBC driver you download above will list which versions of the MDAC it is expected to work with. Make sure your version is one of the listed versions.

Setting up an Oracle ODBC Driver and Essbase

Hi all,
I am trying to retrieve data directly from Essbase into SAS (Statistical Analysis Software) by setting up an Oracle ODBC Driver and Essbase.
I read this document in the below link and I was convinced that I could use ODBC to connect to Essbase, but our data administrator says that Essbase is an OLAP database and can NOT use ODBC.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/esb_sqlint.pdf
I am a SAS programmer, but I have no background in technical configuration, so I was wondering if someone can help me if it is really possible or not to connect to Essbase using ODBC.
If it is possible, I have a follow up question...
I followed this link below to do a set up and did so successfully before the actual step to add a new data source to ODBC driver.
I should be able to select the TNS Service Name from the drop down list. This name will be that which I named in the TNSNAMES.ora file’s Alias = section, but I don’t see this option…
It would be great if someone knows why I do not see this option populated under drop-down in the screenshot.
Setting up an Oracle ODBC Driver and Data Source | Ten Six Consulting

1) As I recall, the problem of returning 0 is caused either by an outdated version of the ODBC driver or of the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components). Updated versions of the ODBC driver are available here on OTN and updated versions of the MDAC are available at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
2) Versioning-
To determine the version of the Oracle8 ODBC driver you should be using, simply match up the first three digits of the ODBC driver version and the Oracle client version (see chart Mr. Oehl posted). The 8.1.5.6 ODBC driver should go on an 8.1.5.x.x system, the 8.1.6.1 ODBC driver should go on an 8.1.6.x.x system. If you have an Oracle7 client, you'll need one of the version 2.5x Oracle7 ODBC drivers.
Any ODBC driver should connect with any Oracle database. No need to match anything up there. You can determine the version of the database you're connected to by calling the ODBC function SQLGetInfo with the InfoType SQL_DBMS_VER.
A little elaboration on version numbers
- Oracle versions are generally 5 digits (i.e. 8.0.5.2.4, 8.1.5.1.1). The versions that you get on CD's are generally (always?) x.x.x.0.0 versions (i.e. 8.1.5.0.0, 8.1.6.0.0). The last two digits are incremented by periodic patchkit releases <ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/wgt_tech/server/windowsNT/>
- ODBC drivers must report versions in 4 parts, each part having 2 digits (i.e. 8.01.05.05). Since we're lazy about typing extra 0's, we simplify this and just refer to the 8.1.5.5 ODBC driver.
- The 8.1.5.x ODBC driver is built with the client libraries that ship with Oracle 8.1.5.x.x, the 8.1.6.x ODBC driver is built with the client libraries that ship with Oracle 8.1.6.x.x, etc. This is why I said above that you need to match the first 3 version numbers between Oracle client and ODBC driver to determine which to use.
I hope this is more enlightening than confusing...

MS ODBC or Oracle ODBC driver?

Can anyone tell me which is the correct driver to use when developing front end MS Access 2003 to retrieve and update data on a Open VMS platform with Oracle 8.1.7.3 database?
I have serval Access 2000 databases that run on most WinNT or W2K clients with a couple of W2K Dell exceptions. These Access 2000 db's connect to the Oracle database using linked tables and SQL pass-through queries that work with ODBC Manager-DNS system setup using the Microsoft for Oracle ODBC driver.
Now we are upgrading to Office Pro 2003 so new W2K images have been setup with Oracle 8.1.7 Client. SQL*Plus works on these clients but when I create the System DNS the Access databases return an error "ODBC connection failed". I can however connect with a pass-through query using Oracle's ODBC driver. Not enough time in roll-out plan to change the ODBC connection string in hundreds of Access SPT queries.
Please help!

Insert into CLOB fails with Oracle ODBC driver version 9.02.00.65

I tried to insert into CLOB using the latest Oracle ODBC driver 9.02.00.65 and it fails. But the same works with earlier versions of ODBC driver earlier to 9.02.00.65 ie., 9.02.00.63.

Hi,
Since 9.2 has been desupported for error correction you will not be able to download that version from OTN. You should ask whoever is providing the training if their is an alternate version you can use. The only versions that you will be able to download from oracle.com is 10.2 11.1, and 11.2.

How to select active Oracle ODBC Driver programmatically?

Hi,
My application creates ODBC DSN to connect with Oracle 10g database server. I need to find out Oracle Driver installed on the system programmatically. I am trying to read KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry key and eventually searching ORACLE_HOME value. This helps me in searching Oracle Driver in ODBCINST.INI registry key. (Oracle in OraDb10g_home1)
If multiple Oracle clients are installed on the same system, multiple KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry keys and oracle drivers would be available. I am not sure which and how to select the current active oracle driver.
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Can anybody help me out? Can I use inventory file (inventory.xml) to determince current active home directory? Reading PATH environment variable to identity active home directory would be tedious.

Please look at following thread for answer.

Oracle ODBC Driver 8.1.7.8b causing MFC OpenEx() delay

Hi:
I have installed the Oracle ODBC Driver version 8.1.7.8b on a WINNT 4.0 Workstation with SP6a. I have an MFC test app with the following code:
PostStatus(ERROR_NOERROR, APP_NAME, "Calling OpenEx()");
CDatabase db;
if(db.OpenEx(_T("DSN=MYTESTDSN;UID=USERID;PWD=PASSWORD"), CDatabase::openReadOnly|CDatabase::noOdbcDialog))
     PostStatus(ERROR_NOERROR, APP_NAME, "OpenEx() success,calling Close()");
     db.Close();
} // OpenEx()
else // OpenEx() error
     PostStatus(ERROR_MODERATE, APP_NAME, "Error opening database,OpenEx() failed!");
The above OpenEx call is taking upto 3 seconds to return. When I use Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver, it takes less than 0.5 sec to connect/disconnect.
Any idea why OpenEx() is taking that long? I've compiled this using VC++ 6.0 SP5, on a WIN2K and WINNT system but I get the same result.
Thanks,
Amit.

Installing the Oracle ODBC driver

Is there any way to wrap only the oracle odbc driver in an
install program?
we want to avoid having to go through an entire oracle client
install.
Any help would be much apprecitaed.

I have the same question. The universal installer is too
complicated for simple client application connectivity

Download and installing oracle odbc driver alone

Hi all,
I wanted to find out if I can download just the oracle odbc driver and install in without actually installing oracle database or client version on windows PC.
thank you

You will need to have some Oracle software on your machine for the Oracle ODBC driver to function.
If you can use the 10g client, you can install the 10g Instant Client and the ODBC driver. The Instant Client is a minimal set of libraries that allow components like the Oracle ODBC driver to work. The 10g client, though, is not certified to connect to databases earlier than 8.1.7.
If you have to use an earlier version, you have to install the full Oracle client, which is not a small install, to be able to use the Oracle ODBC driver.
