Oracle v 9 with Windows Server 2008 and odbc

Hi.
I've got a customer that has a windows 2008 server and I need to connect to an oracle database from a .net application from this server.
First I thought it was easy to configure an odbc connection on the computer and then just use it but it seems that I need to install "oracle client" first.
Problem, it seems that it's not possible to find this "oracle client" for oracle version < 9 (it's running somehting like 8.1.6 ) for windows 2008
I have also try to directly use .net assembly to avoid odbc but i've got the same error message "oracleconnection need oracle client installed"
Is there a solution ?

A 10.2 Oracle client was certified to connect to an 8.1.7 database (8.1.7 has been decertified, so all certifications are past tense). A 10.2 Oracle client is certified on a Windows 2008. So it should be possible to install a 10.2 client on a Windows 2008 server and connect to an 8.1.7 database.
I can't guarantee that this will work, just that it appears that it should. I would be very hesitant to have this mix of very new technologies connecting to very old technologies because you're definitely pushing the envelope. It generally doesn't make a lot of sense to stay with a version of Oracle that hasn't been supported in years if you want to run the latest version of Windows on the client machine-- if this is a system that is going to continue into the future, you would generally want to keep everything relatively current; if this is a legacy system that is being phased out, you would generally want to leave everything on older versions.

  • When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

    Hi all
    I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
    I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
    Thanks!

    Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
    does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

  • Oracle 8i compatible with Windows Server 2008?

    Does anyone know whether Oracle 8i can be run on Windows Server 2008? My organization has only a license for Oracle 8i and we're buying new servers coming with Windows Server 2008.
    Thank you, Chaiyong

    There is no such thing as a licence for "Oracle 8i" there is only a licence for Oracle. Do you mean that you're out of support ?
    In any event 8i is desupported.
    Best bet is to install P2V a VMware Windows 2000 and leave it at that.

  • Oracle 11g compatiblity with Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello Experts,
    Can 'Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64' be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64?

    When you said, People have been able to make it work, is there something that needs to be done to make it compatible or can I just ignore following from the compatiblity check in the installatation prerequisites?I do not condone using unsupported, and potentially unsupportable, environments. The risk to the user community in production is too great, especially in that 'it may appear to work, but may just as easily run into an obscure incompatibility'.

    SMB Digital Signing is enabled by default on Domain Controllers - I'll double check, but don't believe it is enabled across ALL 2008 Server, but it would be worth checking.
    Digital Signing is designed to prevent man in the middle attacks - which is precisely what WAAS is doing
    Turning it of generally improves speed by around 20% even without WAAS, and lets WAAS use full DRE and the CIFS adapter to cache files.
    Any problems, just raise a TAC case and my boys will help you out
    Edit: Link from MS which discusses it in more detail and how to turn off:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=887429
    According to that, it's NOT enabled across the board in 2008, just on the DC's.
    My company uses waas, as you can see above whenever i try to do the implementation waas is giving me the following message "pt in ad error"for all the connections that will be compatible with windows, I did some research and what's above has to do with the digital windows certificate which waas is struggling to open due to the code encrypted in the certificate. do you happen to have a way of enabling the certificate within the module. another option would be to disable the certificate in windows server 2008?

    Thiago,
    PT AD Int Error has nothing to do with SMB digital signatures.  PT AD Int error means TFO auto-discovery failed and could not negotiate an optimized flow; this is during the TCP 3-way handshake before digital signatures even come into play
    A common reason for PT AD Int Error status is another device in the path before WAAS has filled up the TCP options field with other data, thus leaving no room for WAAS to put it's TCP opt 0x21.
    Once you resolve the PT AD Int Error problem and a CIFS AO negotiated policy occurs, if the server/client require digital signatures then you will see the connection as T,G,D,L or T,G (meaning Generic AO).
    If digital signatures are not required the CIFS connections will show as T,C,D,L.
    I suggest you take packet captures on both client and server side WAEs to see how SYN and SYN-ACK packets are reaching the WAE and see if the options field is filed with data before reaching the WAE.
    If this is part of a WAAS PoC/ Demo feel free to open a case with the PDI team.
    http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/tools/pdi.html
    Otherwise, if this is in production please open a case with TAC.

  • Network issues with Windows Server 2008 and MacOS

    Hello there,
    I believe it is a long shot, but i am running out of options. I got a video streaming server software running on my windows server 2008. It has a client that runs on MacOS and Windows. The windows client works just fine, but the macos client cannot stream
    a few videos.
    I've tried installing the streaming server on windows 7 and my mac client worked just fine, so I believe that win server 2008 got some sort of configuration that is blocking the correct communication between software. 
    Since the software devs could not tell me what's wrong or how to fix it, I thought I might get some help here (kinda of a last hope thing). I have tried installing codecs, enabling desktop experience and nothing worked.
    So, here is my question: Is there anything that windows server has that windows 7 do not that might be causing this scenerio?
    Thanks,
    Lucas

    Hi,
    Have you disabled the firewall on the windows server? The firewall may block the traffic if it isn’t configured properly.
    If it still doesn’t work after disabling the firewall, please install the Network Monitor on the windows server and client. Then capture the traffic of the video when the server and windows7 runs your software.
    Try to compare the traffic of windows server and windows7. Find out the difference between them.
    To download Network Monitor, click the link below,
    Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4

  • Issues with Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
       I am facing a issue with my PROD and DEVE systems. Initially I installed ECC6 SR3 on PROD with Windows Server 2008 and only ABAP stack as JAVA stack is not fully supported. Now I am planning to install DEVE server with Windows 2003 in which I will have both ABAP and JAVA stacks.
       I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
       Awaiting replies.

    >    I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
    No.
    You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
    However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.

  • Oracle 11g Client for Windows Server 2008 Relase2 Operating Stystem

    Hi,
    I am having a server with Operating System as Windows Server 2008 R2 version 64 - bit.
    I am using SSRS 2008 which is 64 bit, for retreiving the data from Oracle (which is 11g - 32 bit), I am unable to create data source for Oracle.
    I had installed ODAC Components of Oracle 11.1.0.7.20 on the server, but still I am getting the following error:
    "The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine."
    Does any one know how to install Oracle Client 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system?

    Helios,
    It is wonderful that you are polite and encouraging to new people.
    While you are responding, could you explicitly direct people to use the correct forum. This has at least 2 benefits:
    1) Ensures that the person gets the widest possible amount of assistance;
    2) Ensures that the rest of us do not need to waste time on improperly placed questions.
    I suggest 'explicitly' since some people do not get the hint, and keep returning to the original thread.
    This thread belongs in 'Database - General' or 'Database - Install'.

    Dear all,
    May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
    Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
    Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
    Thanks for your help.
