Oracle TNS Connection

Hi Everybody,
I'm a newbie in oracle world, hope that all the expert out there able to shed some lights on me.
i have PHP and Oracle 9i perfectly installed and everything was smooth.
Then later on , i installed 6i (Developer Form), after i've restart my PC
An error message pop out saying undefined oci_connect(). unable to load dynamic..bla bla bla.
I was wondering , could it be a conflict between those 2 version of oracle?
How can i know which oracle that i connect to? oracle 9i or oracle 6i
Thanks in advance

Re: php startup: unable to load dynamic library... php_oci8.dll

  • Getting error in TNS connection from Oracle hosted on LINUX machine

    Hello,
    We moved our databases from Solaris to Linux servers. I am running one multithreaded process which creates a pool of db connection which are shared by threads. On moving to Linx db I am getting below error message
    [SERVERERROR] ORA-12520: TNS:listener could not find available handler for requested type of server
    My first port of call to resolve this error was to check TNS_ADMIN and tnsnames.ora but they are fine and then I checked DB in db some of threads got connected and did insert data error usually occured when thread release control of connection and another thread picks up.
    Later I changed configuration to run only one single thread and then it works fine without any error. I also tried running same process with configured to create one thread from two different sessions and then one session got this error but other continued.

  • TNS connection in Oracle SQL Developer

    We have been using TNS connections in SQL Developer. Today we moved a database to a new server but still used the same TNS alias in tnsname.ora file for the database. However, the tns connections in SQL Developer shows this alias still points to the old database host server, therefore unable to connect. There is only one tnsnames.ora file on my PC and I have TNS_ADMIN set up to point to it. But it seems to me SQL Developer does not read this altered alias, but used some kind of "cached" alias which points to the old host. If I add a new alias in tnsnames.ora file, it reads correctly. But it does not refresh an existing alias.
    So how is this "Network Alias" dropdown list populated? Even after I delete tnsnames.ora file, the drop down list still not changed. How do I reinitialize this list?

    Hi,
    You should try and search SQLDeveloper help for TNS, that would give you some clues.
    The list for selecting a network alias is initially filled from the tnsnames.ora file on your system, if that file exists.
    Connections are stored in IDEConnections.xml.
    Regards
    Peter

  • Can't connect to Database through JDeveloper with TNS connection

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle 10 g database on my windows vista 64 bit operating system , and then I installed Oracle client on windows XP, Finally I copy the tnsnames.ora file on my client site, Now I am able to access the database through my client.
    My question is how can I acces my database from anywhere, For example I am at my friend home and I want to acces my home database.
    Simple steps would be appreciateable.
    ThanksTo answer this sensibly I would to look at a person's level of experience if they have not give much information. So I looked at your 2 previous posts .....
    Okay ... let me get you right ........
    On Oct 6th 2009 on {message:id=3810910} you said you are an Oracle certified (8i,9i,10g) professional
    On Oct 11th 2009 you said on {thread:id=970285} I have two computer, I want to install oracle 10g database on one and client on second. anybody can tell how can i do this? Is 10g database and Client is a different software? and how can i connect client to database,I think something tnsnames.ora?
    I am really hard pressed to understand an Oracle certified (8i,9i,10g) professional can ask the Oct 11th 2009 question.
    If you are actually legitimately certified, and I have my doubts, please be aware Oracle retains the right to decertify people who do not demonstrate the required level of competence!!
    If I've misread something here I must offer my apologies.
    One method is to open firewall and establish NAT so your listener is forwarded via a port on your public IP address (which may not be static, so may change from time to time); and arrange for the tns connection stanza on this client to point to this IP and port opening up the firewall at your friends as necassary. Using VPN is another option. The methods for doing these are software and equipment dependent, but hopefully what I have described is a 6/10 description of the process.
    Apart from me questioning the validity of your certification credentials .... can I also ask what this has to do with Oracle Certifications on the Oracle Certification forum ? (Database general or installation might be better, though I'm not sure either forum is totally relevant).
    And can you see your certifications on Certview [http://certview.oracle.com/] ?

    Text:     TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    Cause:     The server shut down because connection establishment with a
         client failed to complete within the allotted time interval. This
         may be a result of network/system delays; or this may indicate
         that a malicious client is trying to cause a Denial of Service
         attack on the server.
    Action:     If the error occurred because of a slow network/system,
         reconfigure the SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in
         sqlnet.ora to a larger value. If a malicious client is suspected,
         use the address in sqlnet.log to identify the source and restrict
         access. Note that logged addresses may not be reliable as they can
         be forged (e.g. in TCP/IP).
    Could also be a firewall issue.

  • Unable to create TNS connection in SQL Developer

    This is my first time install SQL Developer 1.5 on my computer and when I try to create a connection using TNS Connection Type to connect to Oracle database, I get this error message:
    Status: Failure -lo exception: SO exception was generated.
    Do you know how to resolve this error?
    Thanks,
    Lily

    Hi Lily,
    This error is due to a tns entry that is unusual/malformed.
    Note that
    1/sqldeveloper picks up tnsnames.[a variety of endings not just ora] rather than just tnsnames.ora .
    2/We recently released 1.5.1[.54.40] is that the release you are using
    Can you post the 'problem' tns entry with ip and service name replaced by a stub?
    ie something like:
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = my.machine)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = my_service_name)

  • TNS: connection closed error with SQL*net

    Hi all,
    I've got a new installation of Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 enterprise (Linux). It works fine with direct sqlplus connections but I'm having problems with SQL*net and JDBC thin client connections.
    The database is built correctly and works fine:

    This is a new instance of Oracle so there is no problem with listener.log being too large (as I've seen elsewhere). I've also tried increasing PROCESSES and SESSIONS in the initSID.ora file without any impact. The listener ports are open through the firewall (and disabling it temporarily makes no difference).
    Any suggestions?!
    Thanks, Matt

  • Oracle TNS Listener password

    Where do I specify the tns listener password in CF MX. I have
    added a password to the oracle TNS listener service. I need to get
    MX to pass this password to the oracle server. Is there a place to
    do this.
    cfk

    Here is what I was given from our security group here at
    USDOJ:
    We are using 9i,
    Server Product ColdFusion MX
    Version 7,0,2,142559
    Edition Enterprise
    Serial Number
    Operating System Windows 2003
    OS Version 5.2
    Description:
    A Oracle TNS Listener has been detected on the host with
    login security disabled (SECURITY=OFF).
    Observation:
    Oracle is an enterprise level database which is available on
    many different platforms.
    A configuration vulnerability exists within the Oracle TNS
    Listener which allows remote unauthenticated access. The TNS
    Listener accepts a clients request and establishes a TNS
    (Transparent Network Substrate) data connection between the client
    and the service. A TNS connection allows clients and servers to
    communicate over a network via a common API, regardless of the
    network protocol used on either end (TCP/IP, IPX, etc). A default
    installation of the TNS listens on TCP port 1521.
    Vulnerable Systems:
    Oracle 8i
    Oracle 9i
    Recommendation:
    It is recommended to only allow certain IP's or subnet ranges
    to access the TNS listener. This can be done by adding a rule in
    the firewall. We also recommend that you enable a password for the
    TNS listener within Oracle
