OraOLEDB not appearing as an option in the 'Providers' list SQL Server 2008

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a linked server to an Oracle 10g database from SQL Server 2008 R2, but the required OraOLEDB.oracle driver is not appearing in the list of providers. We are trying to recreate our prod environment where we use the 11g client to connect to the 10g db, so I downloaded the installed the 11gClient ODADC (11.1.0.7). I have the Oracle folder in my 'Start' menu (Windows 2008 O/S), and it looks like the Oracle install was successful but in the registry (regedit) I don't see Oracle listed as 'software' in the local_machine/software listing.
I set my Oracle home to C:\Oracle and the path under there is
product\11.1.0\client_1
I've also read in some other posts that I should have both a 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle driver installed - I'm assuming that 11g is 64-bit and 9i is 32 bit?
Should I be able to install just the client or do I need to install the Server as well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for...

I figured this out - we didn't have the 64-bit version of the driver.

Error: the database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation in sql server 2008 ?

I am trying to rename the database but i am getting below exception while doing it-->
Error: the database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.(Microsoft Sql Server,Error 5030)
Thanks.

as mentioned earlier by both these users just wait for all the connections to go and then try- it will succed
or else if it is dev\Uat environment & you can kill the conenctions - make the changes (use this as last option)
i was just wondering if you are connected to the same DB? If yes change your context to master(means connect to master DB ) and then issue this command.

When right clicking to send a link , the` send link` option does not appear as n option on the menu list.

the ``send link`` option just disappeared..It happened immediately after an automatic update to firefox when my computer has to be restarted about a month ago.
sometimes a ``copy link location`` will be on the list...and that will allow me to send on a link..but normally now it rarely appears and send link has disappeared entirely from the right clicked menu box.

hello bblauman, mozilla does clean up the interface of the browser from time to time - a user study has shown that this context menu entry is only used by a small fraction of the users. however, in case you miss this functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/

How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

Hi all,
I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112)) -- 7 days back date folder name
SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
--Print @cmd
This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
Thanks,
Prasad R.

I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
Old method is
declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
    set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
    EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
    EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER
Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist system stored procedure
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

HT2731 I have a student who is trying to set up an account however it is asking for Credit Card information. The choice of NONE does not appear as an option with the credit cards. Any assistance?

I have a student trying to set up an App Store account (she has an Apple ID), however she is being asked for credit card information. The option of NONE does not appear as one of the choices with the other credit cards.
Any assistance?

There are instrctions on this page for how to create a new account (it won't work with existing account) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it.

My username is not appearing as an option on the login screen

While using my Mac today, I went away from it and left it idle. When I returned to put my password in, the info went to grey and and the spinning wheel was present for hours. I then decided to reboot the machine and when it restarted; it took a bit longer than usual to restart. When it finally went through, it only gave me the option to sign on as a guest and would not show my account as a login option. However, I can spotlight certain files and the actual user folder from my main account. It won't let me few or use any of the files/applications because it's saying I don't have permission. I enabled the Apple Setup upon reboot because I had to have an account in order to complete a project I was working on and access the internet and such. How can I access my original account? Even on my new account I created, It's not letting me access any of the applications or desktop/downloads/music files because it's still saying I have no permission.
It might help that I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. But I've had it for about 2 weeks; though, and have not had any issues.
Extremely desperate, please help!!!!

i solved the issue. I created another new account with the original name and it asked if i wanted to use the existing accounts home folder. clicking yes restored everything i had. thanks for your concern

HP Photosmart c3100 driver doesn't appear as an option in the driver list

Hello,
I downloaded and installed the driver for my HP Photosmart C3100, but when I try to add the printer from the Print&Fax control panel, or Printer Setup Utility, the driver does not show up as an option. There are a zillion other drivers in the list but not the one I installed. I tried restarting, no luck. Anyone know what to do? Is the driver perhaps under a different name?
Thanks
Bob

I will answer my own question in case anyone else has this problem.
It's hard to believe that a printer FREE from Apple itself would be so hard to get working. Most of the solutions I found on the web left me using some generic gimp driver, which wasn't doing too well printing on photo paper. It was better than nothing, but still kind of lame.
As far as I can tell, the thing that got the real driver in there was to DELETE the whole Printers folder in /Library and then install the HP's driver. Only then would the Printer Setup Utility see it. Before that, I had tried resetting the printing system, running some third party app called Printer Setup Repair, all to no avail -- it just never would find or list the hp's driver as an option.
I could not believe that the HP driver was so difficult to get installed. And I am an advanced user. My parents, on whose computer this was happening...forget about it!

SQL Server Usage Summary page, the count of user/device: does not show for SQL Server 2008

Does MAP tool capture User Summary (count of users, their details) for SQL Server 2008?
At my end, its working for SQL Server 2012 but not showing User Summary for SQL Server 2008..
Does the User Summary only works for SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition as one of the thread points out?

This is from the
Wiki article:
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter Editions introduced audit event configuration for Windows security logging, which enabled SQL Server 2008 to log logon events to the Windows Security log. The table below shows which versions and editions have the Audit

"SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items"

Hi,
I am trying some new feature that are introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 version. While I try to use "Map" control within it, it threw the following error:-
"Error 1 The map, Map1, was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items. "
-Also, similar kind of error I am getting for "Indicator" control.

Hi Tej,
I think you get this error message when you are deploying a report to report server using BIDS, correct? If not, please provide more details on your scenario :-)
If I guessed correctly, then this message is a result of trying to deploy a map report (a SSRS 2008 R2 feature) to a non-R2 2008 report server. When deploying a report of RDL2010 format to a non-R2 report server, BIDS will downgrade the file to RDL2008 format, so that the non-R2 report server can process it. Any report elements using features not supported in RDL2008 will be dropped during this downgrade process.
BIDS gets the server version from a report project property called TargetServerVersion:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee635898(SQL.105).aspx
If your report server is indeed the 2008 R2 version, then the TargetServerVersion property should be set to "SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services." The project property page also has a "Auto Detect..." option if you are uncertain about the version of your report server.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

"the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", SQL Server 2008

when I try to install SQL Server enterprise 2008, during the installation processing, an error information occurs, it said that 'the feature you are trying to use is on a network
resource that is unavailable', it is missing this file "sql_engine_core_shared.msi".
Even I locate an available file with the same version for the installation, it still alert this error information. But actually the file exists in the directory that belong to the whole installation directory.
Because of this problem, I can`t complete the whole SQL Server installation. My computer OS is windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 32-bit, with .Net Framework 4.0. And I has installed Visual Stdio 2008, could this program impact the installation of SQL Server 2008?
Any good ideas, Thanks.

Hi,
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise dose not support Windows
7. You can try SQL Server Standard, or SQL
Server Developer, or SQL Server Express. Please

Hi, Samanthacarol.
If you are able to see the backup file in iCloud but unable to restore from the backup, then the article below will explain the solution.

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?

Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:
