Oracle ODBC driver not register in Windows

hi,
i notice that the oracle odbc driver is not register as one of the data source in the windows. Do anyone having this problem too?? and any solutions??
I've installed Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on a windows XP platform. When i want to create a data source in the ODBC, i realize that the oracle driver is not there...
thanks in advance

hi,
i've checked, oracle odbc is installed in my machine, but it is not appear in the windows data source ODBC (control panel > administrative tools > Data Sources (ODBC)).
I've tried to uninstall and re-install, again the oracle odbc is installed in my machine but never appear in the windows data source ODBC. Is there a way to made it appear in the windows manually?
thanks

ODBC driver not recognized by Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator

Using Windows XP Professional with all patches. I installed Oracle 10g Client, then removed ODBC driver and loaded 10.1.0.1.3 ODBC driver. Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator will not see this driver. (It also didn't see the previous driver, which is why I tried the new one.) The driver is in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI) properly configured. It was not in the odbcinst.ini (Windows directory) file however, so I manually added it. I found directions on this site to be sure the drivers were loaded in the Oracle home directory, which is where I put them.

Hi Joe,
According to your description, after you run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, Access driver is not displayed when you expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI node.
The issue is caused by wrong path of odbccad32, please make sure that you are using Administrator account or you have administrative privileges, then refer to the following steps:
Go to Control Panel.
Click Administrative Tools.
Right-click Data Sources(ODBC) to open Properties dialog box.
In Target text box, type %windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
In Start in text box, type %windir%\syswow64, then click OK to save the settings.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Oracle ODBC driver not showing up in Data source administrator

I dont have an entry in registry under ODBC for Oracle. By mistake it got deleted and I'm not able to retrieve the same.
How should I add an entry and enable ODBC driver ?
Any luck?

Are you sure it was there at some point and got deleted? The usual cause for "i dont see the driver in the adminstrator" is that folks have installed 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS and are looking in the wrong administrator.
Assuming the registry keys really did get deleted, you should be fine adding the registry key(s) back in manually.
Alternatively, assuming you're using Oracle's ODBC driver, you could just remove and re-install the driver via the OUI.
If you're looking for Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle though, you'll probably need to resort to fixing the registry manually.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Oracle ODBC driver not visible in MS SQL server 2005

Hi all
I am trying to export a Ms SQL Server table to Oracle and I do not see the Oracle Driver or any of my local drivers.
Why?

Pratik, the SQL does not seem right. BTW you can only retreive data via Deski Free hand SQL. Also try to use OLE DB connection.

Could not see Oracle ODBC driver in Windows ODBC

Hi,
I have install the runtime version followed by custom->Windows Oracle Interface successfully.
Any other steps that i have missed out or lack off in installing the Oracle ODBC driver?
Thanks in advance.
Tony

It's not a plot, but it's sneaky.
I had the same problem when I installed Oracle 10 client. There is a similar issue on the Oracle forum (Re: ODBC Driver Install Problem. Basically, what was happening is a line had been entered in the ODBC Drivers file that contains "@=". Anything following that line is NOT displayed in the ODBC Admin list.
To fix this problem, open Regedit and export the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers" key to a file. Edit the file to remove the line "@=" and save the file. Delete the registry key, and merge in your updated file.

Is the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.5.0 certified for Windows 7 (32bit)

For this question my client needs a reliable answer when their global IT migrates all Windows clients to Win7.
Now, Support Note 1061272.1 says Oracle Client 10.2.0.5.0 IS certfified on Win7 32bit.
But, Support Note ID 66403.1 says Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.5.0 is NOT certified on Win7.
Does anyone one know, what counts?
Is (A) Note 1061272.1 right because ODBC is part of the client and note 66403.1 is simply outdated or inaccurate, or
is (B) note 66403.1 correct, because the ODBC driver is certified seperately?
Thanks for suggestions (or better: statements from Oracle), otherwise I have to open an SR.
Kai

10205 is certified on Win7, 66403.1 will be corrected.

How can I do to get Oracle ODBC driver in Windows?

Hello,
Please, I need help to use Oracle ODBC driver in Windows 7. I installed Oracle Client 10g with the ODBC driver, but I can't use it. OracleODBC driver don't appear in the driver list when I want to create a new datasource. How I can do to get Oracle ODBC driver for create a new datasource?
Thank
Edited by: user4528703 on 13 mars 2010 02:01

Hello,
To get the ODBC driver you should run a custom Oracle Client installation and Select
Oracle Windows Interfaces 10.2.0.1.0.
Then, you'll get the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.1.
But, be aware that Oracle didn't certify Windows 7.
So, if afterwards, you experience some trouble, think to install Oracle with Xp compatibilty mode, or
wait to Oracle 11.2.0.1 which will be certified on Windows 7.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb 2.10.11.00 on Windows 2008 64-bit

Hello,
Our application runs on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and connects to RDB databases on Alpha Open/VMS via Oracle ODBC Driver fro Rdb release 2.10.11.00.
We are migrating to Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment.
We tested both recent Rdb ODBC driver releases (3.3.0.0 and 3.3.1.0) but we are getting errors intermittently when the application loads data from certain tables. Trace logs show no errors which could indicate the origin of the issue.
We want to use the old (2.10.11.00) release but it cannot be installed only on the Win 2008 32-bit version.
Can anyone suggest how to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb release 2.10.11.00 on a Windows 2008 64-bit Server?
Thanks in advance,
Momir

Hello,
Take a loot at http://www.connx-net.com/rdb.htm they have a 64 bit ODBC OLE DB JBC and .NET solution.

Oracle doesn't produce such a beast. Microsoft provides a lot of important ODBC infrastructure on Windows that driver writers rely on which isn't available on Linux.
There are third parties that have developed ODBC drivers for Oracle on Linux. There's an open source project at <http://www.unixodbc.com> that you might be able to use. Companies like Merant may also provide drivers.

Oracle ODBC Driver, Release 3.0.2.1 for Windows

Dear All,
in reference to "Known Software Problems" section on the page ...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/rdb/htdocs/rdb_odbc/odbc_v3.0.2.1.html#known_soft
Problem number 3 is as follows:
3. The ODBC Driver detects "ROWID" or "DBKEY" values by their names.
If you rename such a column, as in the statement
SELECT LAST_NAME, DBKEY AS FOO FROM EMPLOYEES;
the driver will not recognize that the column is a DBKEY and will not
properly present the data for the application.
Does anyone know if this problem will be fixed in release V3.0.2.2
or when if not in 3.0.2.2 ?
Thanks in advance
Derek

Note that this problem applies to Oracle's ODBC driver for RDB, not to the Oracle ODBC driver. The former is used to connect to an RDB database, the latter to an Oracle database.
If you're interested in information about Oracle's ODBC driver for RDB, you probably want to contact technical support, as there aren't a whole lot of people in this forum using RDB. My recollection is that it's been quite some time since a new version of the RDB ODBC driver has been released-- I don't know if there is even any development being done on it.

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.

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.

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

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
