Oracle Rdb Driver 3.1.0.0 problem

I am trying to convert an MsAccess application to use an MsAccess front end and an Oracle Rdb back end.
I've created the test database under VMS and can successfully link to the Oracle Rdb tables from MSAccess 2000. One of the main reasons for converting to Oracle Rdb is to be able to store large word documents in the database. I was able to do that using Oracle rdb Driver v 3.00.02.06. I recently converted to Oracle Rdb Driver version 3.1.0.0 and can no longer access the Blob field containing the Word document. MsAccess now sees this field as type Binary and I keep getting an invalid field type error. (with 3.00.02.06 this field was seen by MsAccess as an Ole Object and the getchunk and appendchunk functions for getting and saving a blob worked reasonably well).
Is this a bug in 3.1.0.0 or is there some way to get MsAccess to recognize this Binary field type?

I suspect you'll need to contact Oracle support on this. There aren't, to my knowledge, any RDB folks around here.

Oracle RDB driver Version 3.01.00.01 Connectivity Issue

I have a SQL Server 2000 extended stored procedure connecting to an Oracle RDB data server via an ODBC connection (using Oracle RDB driver Version 3.01.00.01). The SQL Server 2000 runs on a Windows 2000 Server.
This extended stored procedure opens up multiple database connections and maintains them for processing. Usually, everything runs fine.
However, every so often, we have connectivity issues. What happens is as follows:
When we bring a station down and then try to reconnnect, our connection is denied, and we get the error: "recv() unexpected close Ret 0 Err#0 UNKNOWN Unknown WINSOCK Error 0". (This error is logged by the .dll running in the SQL Server processing space.) From the first time we receive a connectivity error like this until the Oracle RDB box is rebooted, we cannot establish another new ODBC connection to that Oracle RDB box --- whether we are trying to establish it programmatically or just via a "test connection" in the ODBC dialogue on the SQL Server box.
We can, however, establish an ODBC connection to another, identically configured, Oracle RDB box from the SQL Server box (without restarting the SQL Server box).
Has anyone had experience with instable connections from Windows system using the Oracle RDB driver to connect to the Oracle RDB? If not, can anyone point me in a direction that would help me research this? I am more familiar with SQL Server than Oracle, and the Oracle DBA on the other end isn't very accessible.
I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks!

I got same error.. Are you already solve that problem? how? please help me. Thanks

Oracle RDB Driver fails with JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Has anyone experienced problems using the latest Oracle RDB
Driver (3.0.2.0) with the JDBC/ODBC Bridge.
We have been using the Oracle ODBC Driver for RDB (2.10.17)
successfully on NT, but it is not supported on W2K. The new
drivers work fine for Access etc., but fail with the bridge.
Specifically, you can step thru a result set, but getObject()
returns null for all fields.
Any suggestions?

Oracle RDB driver for java

hello.
i connect to my oracle driver using this
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
but now i have to use oracle RDB and i want to ask how that is done?
do i have to download another jar for that?
and how is the connection string done?
thanks

nope.
you're getting me all wrong
i already have ojdbc14.jar and i already connected to oracle 9iHow did you do that without knowing the connection string?
the problem is with oracle RDB jdbc
that's another different matter.What? I don't understand.
oracle rdb runs under open vms and you have to
install some other things before the rdb jar itself.I don't know about running Oracle on OpenVMS. Sorry.
and i also need the connections tring for the class.How did you "connect" without it?
I gave you a link to the docs, which should tell you what the connection string syntax is. It'll look something like this:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:database%

Crystal Report Oracle ODBC driver invalid Thai character display problem

Hi,
   My server has CR Oracle ODBC 5.1 installed on last week. We have several reports in the servers which called by our Application to export to text file and pdf file. Sometimes, the output (both text file and pdf file) can't display Thai character correctly. The text file show Thai character in question mark and pdf file show in square box. This problem occur randomly and disappear without doing anything. Sometimes the problem occur for an hour and gone but sometimes occur 10-15 minutes and gone. This problem also not happen every days. Once the problem occur, all reports with Thai character will fail.
   However, we have another server installed the same Application, same OS level, same OS patches and same CR Oracle ODBC driver version installed on the same time as above server (the problem server). This server does not have any problems.
   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Noppadon S.

Hi Noppadon,
Thank you for the info. If it happens randomly in their application then it's something they need to debug. Could even be in the ODBC driver.
I suggest you tell them that because it works sometimes it shows the issue is likely in their software because if it failed all the time then it would be in Crystal dll's. They need to debug the problem, suggest they use tools like Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com to step through to see where or what part is failing. If they having logging abilities that may help to find out what step is failing and in which API.
At this point we have no way of determining where the problem is, it's failing in their application and no one but them know what or how they are using CR runtime files.
If you can duplicate the problem using Crystal Report Designer then it's our problem, if not they have to help you to show us it is a CR issue.
Sorry we can't be of more help but without know their code we can't suggest anything to try. Suggest they log a call with support here to help them debug the problem if they don't know what to do.
Thank you
Don

Does multilingual work with Oracle oci8 Driver? I am facing problems with oci8 while thin driver works fine ...

Hi, I am currently working on iPlanet 6.0 SP4 with oracle 8.1.6. I am planning to make my application language independent. while testing I figured out that if i use oci8 driver or oracle, it doesn't support other language characters while the thin driver supports fine. Can anybody help me regarding this? Is this a bug, or some possible configuration issue? Has somebody came across this problem before? How do i go about it ?

We faced same issue. Looks like the native driver does not support the automatic data encoding/decoding from/to database. You can always workaround this by reading everything as byte stream and then by letting java handle the encoding/decoding. But we decided to use type4 thin driver which does this automatically if you set the content type. Anyway we are told that later versions of IAS may not support native drivers, so if you are serious about multi language shift to type4 thin drivers now itself.

Connecting to different servers with Oracle Rdb

Hi,
I have downloaded the Odbc-Driver driver for Rdb and made successful connections to my database server. The name of the server is hardcoded with the odbc administrator. How is it possible to use different servers from asp-script ?
regards
Martin

I have done this, but the Driver (Oracle Rdb Driver, Version 3.00.02.04) do not understand the "DB"-Parameter correctly. The databasename is transferred to the server without the attach-command. So I can only make the connect to a preattached service. This is a known problem by Oracle.

Problem with oracle rdb + vb6 + new odbc driver 3.x

dear all
i have a problem with the new odbc-driver 3.x for oracle rdb and vb6
connection to the database and the query are ok, there are not errors,
but the resultset is not right, because the fieldnames are allways called coloum1, coloum2,... anstead of the original fieldnames.
further the values of the fields are wrong, there allways appears onle the first sign of then value the should be (result "A" instead of "Andy",... )
thanks for help

my platform is: Windows 2003 server R2 Enterprise x64 Edition Service Pack 2
My application run to 32 bit
the ODBC Data Source Administrator run from C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe
If I double-click on C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe I can see only "Oracle in OraDb10g_home"
In C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
If I double-click on C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and "select a driver for which I want to setup a datasource" I can see many driver ODBC and if I try to add the "Oracle ODBC for Oracle" I get this error:
The setup routines for the "Oracle ODBC for Oracle" ODBC driver could not be load due the system error code 193.
Could not load the setup or translator library.
Have someone any idea??

Problems moving ODBC RDB driver from 2.1.13 to 3.x

Hello. I'm new.
I doubt that anyone can assist us in our situation, but I can't find any help anywhere else.
We've been using Forms (see info below, please) for years with ODBC for RDB driver version 2.10.13.00. We would like to move to ODBC for RDB driver version 3.x (3.2 is the latest, I believe) for several reasons.
However, when I run our application against a data source using the new driver, it crashes quite frequently when committing changes. I do not know why. I get a win32 exception dialog box, and nothing else (no forms dump file).
BUT when I turn on SQL Tracing, everything works just fine! When I turn on Driver Logging, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depending on which driver logging setting I use.
When it fails, the last line in the rdbodbc.log file is...
.._uCnvBinaryToChar 0X00000000
or...
bccSQLExecuteLckd
or...
the dml statement
.0X03A27DF8: INSERT INTO ORGANIZATION ( ORGANIZATION_ID,ORGANIZATION_NA
.ME,ORGANIZATION_NAME_2,ADDRESS_1,ADDRESS_2,CITY,STATE,ZIP_1,ZIP_2,EMAI
.L_ADDRESS,REMARK_1,REMARK_2 ) VALUES ( ?, ?,NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),N
.VL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,'XX'),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,' '),NV
.L( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' ') ) RETURNING DBKEY INTO ?
...depending on the driver logging setting.
One particular form always seems to crash on a simple insert statement within a block's On-Insert trigger. The block contains only items with a number or char data type. I have made a great many code variations and it doesn't make it work, but I can get it to work if I place an alert message right before the insert statement or a win_api_utility.sleep(...) statement. And as I mentioned before, it works fine if I turn on SQL Tracing.
So, I am not sure if there is some known issue with Forms and ODBC RDB driver 3.x that we can work around, or if Forms 6i just won't work with the newer driver. Our application contains hundreds of often complex forms, so any fix would have to be relatively simple to implement.
Thanks very much.
Forms 6i (6.0.8.13.0) - running client/server
Oracle RDB database (7.1)
Windows XP
OCA 6.0.5.35.0

Follow-up for anyone interested since apparently no one else in the internet world has this problem. :)
When I activate OCA_DEBUG_ERROR (i.e., set registry OCA_DEBUG_ERROR = TRUE under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE), everything works, but I do see this debug message: "OCA-30002 ubofgrd function not supported", which does not get logged when I use the older driver. So, again, if I slow things down enough, it works, but it won't work without logging/tracing turned on. An OCA bug, I suppose?

Oracle ODBC Rdb Driver

Hello,
We want to install Oracle ODBC Rdb Driver 2.10.13.00 but we can't find this driver for XP.
We are now using the driver 3.00.02.06 but we have a lot of problem.
Could you please Help me ?

You probably want to contact Oracle support for that. I don't recall ever seeing RDB-related downloads on OTN.

Oracle XA driver problem with WLS 7.0.1.0, Oracle 9.0.1

We are using simplified chinese, after swith to bea jdriver, it messed up
all the encoding. So we cannot display Chinese character correctly.
We are using WLS 7.0.1.0, Oracle 9.0.1 on both Windows and Solaris 8
environment, BEA supplied JDK 1.3.1_03.
We have many diffrent problems with oracle drivers:
1. We want to use XA driver to support distributed transaction, However:
* bea jdriver xa messes up with encoding
* when using oracle 901 driver, everything works fince except webservices.
Workshop application access the ejb, then the workshp application sets
isolation level, but oracle driver does not support it and gives error. Is
there a way to turn off isolation level in workshop? I tried manually edit
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, however,workshop cannot redeploy it after that.
2. When not using XA, oracle thin driver works fine. But we lost XA
capability.
Any work around?

I did try to change the value in this config file as well, but did not help.
In fact, the installation default setting is with
'<transaction-isolation-level>' commented out.
And when I use bea oracle jdriver, it somehow messed up with database
character set encoding, so our Chinese characters could not be retrieved
correctly. And I try to set the encoding of jdriver to 'GBK', it did not
work.

Hello Ma,
The transaction isolation level value for EJBs backing the JWS files is
specified in the <transaction-isolation-level> tag in the
WEB-INF/weblogic-jws-config.xml file of a Workshop project. You can
manipulate this value to serve your purpose.
Please do let me know how it goes.

Anurag

CachedRowSet problem in Weblogic 6.1 and Oracle thin driver 9.0.1

Has anyone used the CachedRowSet class successfully? (this classes are
new and from the JDBC extension pack)
I am experiencing "Not in a transaction" errors when executing
cachedrowset.populate(resultset), even though I'm inside a correct
ut.begin and ut.commit transaction.
Note I don't have these problems when I don't use the CachedRowSet
classes.
If I remove the setFetchSize(50) line, then I receive the ORA-01002:
fetch out of sequence error, which is discussed in another post on
this newsgroup.
I don't have any of these problems at all, if I use the Oracle Thin
Driver directly (i.e. not using Weblogic 6.1).
-H
Example of code:
stmt = getConnection().createStatement();
stmt.setFetchSize(50);
stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM ASSET");
rs = stmt.getResultSet();
crs = new CachedRowSet();
crs.populate(rs);

Hi Arturo,
What kind of a problem do you have? Any stacktraces?

Oracle jdbc driver problems in netbeans 5.5

need help again....i'm experience a problem. the problems are :
i connect from netbeans 5.5 to oracle database express client 10g using jdbc driver ojdbc14.jar. the connection succeded (all the tables appears and i even can view the data). but when i trying to bind data to a drop down list component (with right click to the dropdown list component and then bind data), the dataprovider of that table appear in red color and there's no field appears in that. i'm so confused? i already add the ojdbc14.jar driver to the following path :
1. i create a new class library in netbeans with consist of that driver,
then added to my project (right click in my project then add library).
2. then i added the ojdbc14.jar driver to my tomcats lib at "C:\Program
Files\netbeans-5.5\enterprise3\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\common\lib".
Is there any additional settings in using oracle jdbc driver? Does anyone knows? thanks a lot for the answers...

Hi!
I'm using NetBeans 6.5 and I'm having some troubles to connect.
The steps I've made:
- Create the connection pool in Glassfish, nothing special, just standard parameters (Based on javax.sql.DataSource and including URL, Username and Password).
- Create the JDBC resource associated with that connection pool,let's say jdbc/test.
Now in NetBeans I register the driver:
- New driver -> Find the ojdbc14.jar and from the options that I can choose it shows: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver and oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
If i choose without +.driver+ I got the thin drivers (the ones i want) and if i chosse the one with the other one I got the OCI drivers. So I choose the first option oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
- Then I go to my project and click New -> Entity Classes from Database and from Datasource I select jdbc/test and it shows the following error message:
Unable to find the driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. Please register this driver in the Databases.
I can fix it if while registering the ojdbc14.jar I select the second option (*oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver*) but with this option I need to specity the connection to use OCI instead of the desired thin driver.
I hope you'll understand and help me somehow
