PHP 5 and ORacle 9i Client?

We would like to install PHP 5 on an windows 2003 and IIS 6 machine.
Currently we have the oracle 9i client installed to access our 9i databases.
Do we have to install the 10G client?
Can anyone tell us how this will affect the 9i client install?
Thanks!

Do we have to install the 10G client?No, you could use 9i client.

Connection between oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client

hi there,
i have installed both oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client in my system.how can i connect these two to have connection between these server and client?
Because i was using only 9i server for creating database and for other purposes.i have not used 9i client yet.
Please write me the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Balu,
If you have the Oracle 9i Client, you can just edit your TNSNAMES.ora file of your client to have a TNS Entry for your new Database & try connecting it. You just need to try TNSPING & ensure that you can reach the Listener.
Are you facing any specific problems ?

Using the Auth pear package with php 4 and oracle

Hi all.
I was wondering if anybody out there has had any success (or else) using the Auth Pear package with php 4 and Oracle.
I'm trying to do just that but can't get it to work.
I've found lots of examples on the web for mysql but none for oracle...
Feedback on your experiences with this would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Hi cj.
Thanks for your advice. I came across those documents but discarded them as they didn't deal with the Auth pear package I was intending on using. I didn't want to look at other alternatives as the focus of my project was primarily on migrating existing data from a mysql setup to an oracle setup. And quickly.
I hadn't found any documentation out there on using Auth with Oracle. All examples available on the web were mysql specific.
I eventually got round to gutting the code from the package and finding the fix to my problem.
Just for info, Auth expects by default an auth table containing two fields username and password. That's lowercase table and field names.
If the table name or field names to be used differ from these then they must be explicitly defined when calling Auth. Doing so resolved my problem.
My mysql db had all lowercase naming, while my oracle db has all uppercase naming throughout.
It is important to note that the Auth package uses the table and field names quoted, thus referring to the table and fields in a case sensitive way.
So for an uppercase table and fields setup the call has to be :
$options = array(
    'dsn' => "$dsn_for_my_oracledb",
    'table' => 'AUTH',
    'usernamecol' => 'USERNAME',
    'passwordcol' => 'PASSWORD',
    'db_fields' => '*',
$a = new Auth("DB", $options , "loginFunction");I hope this helps anybody trying to use this package with oracle. It worked great for me.

About Oracle-xe and Oracle-xe-client

Hi all,
I prefer tell you I'm french and I may do mistakes... ^^
I use Oracle database on my computer because I've a course about Oracle and PL/SQL. So I'm the single user of this database.
I would like to know if I must install oracle-xe and oracle-xe-client or If oracle-xe is enough (whithout oracle-xe-client) to test my procedures/queries/etc... ?
Thank you for your help. :D

Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setProperties(prop);
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this may have some impacts on the app.
Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects with it these params are already set.
I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
String dbPort = "1530";
String dbSid = "java";
String dbUser = "Admin";
String dbPswd = "apassword";
String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
try
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
catch(SQLException ex)
    System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
    System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

Oracle 8i Server (32 bit) and oracle 9i client (32) bit on Win 2003 64bit??

Hi,
1st server (DB Server)
OS : Windows 2000 Server
Oracle 8i Server (32 bit)
2nd server (Web Server)
OS : Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit)
Oracle 9i client (32 bit)
After i installed, oracle 9i client (32 bit) in Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit), i managed to install and configure tnsnames and connects using SQL Plus. However, i CANNOT see Oracle in ODBC.
Que 1 : Why? Why i cannot see any Oracle in ODBC? Is it because of 64 bit?
Que 2: If i installed Oracle 9i client (64 bit), will it solve the problem?
Que 3: Will my .Net software gives problem when application installed in IIS interacts with DB server???
thanks

Location of tnsnames.ora for Tora and Oracle XE Client

I Googled far and wide and did not see a CLEAR answer to my question, hopefully this will help others.
I have installed the debian oracle-xe-client and tora packages (tora rebuilt for oracle) on Ubuntu 8.04.
However, I did not know where I was supposed to place the tnsnames.ora file for my databases. I have tried running Tora with the environment variable of TNS_ADMIN set to the file where I placed my tnsnames.ora, however that did not work as Tora did not 'see' the file or its entries apparently. I know this works because I copied it from a Debian Etch box with the client and server installed.
I had even added a 'network/admin' directory structure to the //usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client (ORACLE_HOME) with the tnsnames.ora but also with no success.
Now for the solution:
Simply remember that TNS_ADMIN points to the directory where the tnsnames.ora is and it will work. :)
I do have a suggestion that both Tora and sqlplus use a config file to set these directory(s) in addition to the overriding ability of the environment variable, TNS_ADMIN as is usually the case with UNIX apps (and thus expected).
Thank you,
Jason

The ODBC Instant Client Readme that is included in the install also indicates that %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/tnsnames.ora is the correct default location. What about OCI?

Unix ODBC and Oracle Instant Client

When I dowloaded Oracle 11 Instant client the the zip file does not contain the libsqlora.so.11.1 file. the odbc_update_ini file contains reference to it. I am trying to configure ODBC on HP UX Pa Risc to use the Instant Client. I have downloaded the UnixODBC driver manager from UnixODBC.org. But I can't seem to figure out how to hook up Oracle 11 Instant Client. Everything I have searched for indicates that libsqlora.so.11.1 is required for the driver manager to work. Who develops this, is it Oracle, is it UnixODBC.org? Do I need to use an older version of Oracle Instanct Client?
Thank you in advance for any help.

is it "libsq.." or "libsql.."? Did you check odbc.zip? "libsqora.so.11.1" suppose to be part of odbc.zip. From which location you have downloaded? because in my install location I can see that "libsqora.so.11.1" is part of odbc.zip file and same has been referred by odbc_update_ini file. Download fresh tar(odbc.zip) and recheck!

Oracle AS and Oracle 9i Client on the same server

Hello,
We have a Window 2000 server with Oracle 9i Client. A number of applications running on this server relies on Oracle 9i Client. Could I install Oracle AS on the same machine without causing any problems to the applications using Oracle 9i client?
Thanks
Slava

Oracle software is multi home aware - which means you can install 10 different Oracle products and versions, each in its own unique Oracle Home directory, and switch between and run all 10 different products - even at the same time (assuming sufficient resources on the platform).
You cannot "+consolidate+" different Oracle Homes - it is an unwise thing to do. The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) has the means to determine when installing a new product, whether or not you have the option to install into an existing Oracle Home.
And with OUI you also have the means to uninstall products in which case you can remove the corresponding Oracle Home from your platform.
Note though that despite multiple homes, certain configuration files will be shared (e.g. +/etc/oratab+ on Unix systems). In such a case you may need to manually update such a configuration file after removing an Oracle Home from your system.
Oracle XE sports its own installer (setup.exe on Windows) - so it does not use OUI. But it is multi-home aware - and can co-exists with other Oracle products in their specific Oracle Homes.

Microsoft ODBC for Oracle on a Windows 7 64Bit OS and Oracle 11g Client

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11g client 64Bit edition on a Windows 7 Professional 64Bit OS. Trying to connect to Oracle DB through ODBC Driver I get the following Message:
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle:
"The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components ar supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation....".
Any ideas how to resolve that problem?

Hello,
Please verify the ORACLE_HOME directory is listed on the PATH system variable of Windows 7. Please open the Command Prompt

ODAC 11 and Oracle 10 client

Hello,
Having some problems getting the new ODAC 11 beta to work on my machine. I currently have the Oracle 10g client installed in order to connect to a legacy desktop app. If I install ODAC 11, it creates a new home which is added to the Windows PATH variable first. Doing this breaks my connections to the legacy app. If I switch the order of the homes in the PATH variable, I cannot connect in VS 2005, I receive an ORA-12154 TNS error, and my connections don't show up in the Data Source dropdown. Any help or suggestions on how to set this up would be appreciated.

Still having the same problem. VS 2005 won't recognize my Data Source. It does seem to recognize that ODP.Net is present. Here's what I did:
1. Uninstalled all Oracle components
2. Installed the Oracle 10g client (needed the Enterprise java console)
3. Added connections in the 10g client to databases (tnsnames.ora)
4. Installed the latest ODAC 11 with everything selected except for Tools for VS 2003 (I have 2005) and MTS
5. Swapped the 2 oracle homes in my Windows PATH variable so I could connect to the legacy desktop app
6. Tested login to legacy app. It worked
7. Copied tnsnames.ora from the 10g client home to the ODAC 11 home
8. Started VS 2005 and tried to add a new database connection with ODP.net. It errors out with the oracle error I mentioned in an earlier post
Any suggestions

Php page and oracle forms link

Dear All,
I am using Application server 10g to deploy my forms and reports. I have another web server on which I am giving users to login to access different applications. I have a php page and users are able to login there properly. But after login when they try to open the applications hosted on the Oracle Application Server 10g, they need to give user id and password again. Is it possible that we can link my web server and my application server so that users need not to login twice.
Regards
Trusha

This is possible only if the other server uses SSO.
Alternatively solution I am thinking ( Not tested )
1 Pass the username from the Server as a parameter to the welcome screen or
the first form.
2 Login using a guest account to the database in the intial screen.
3 Store the username and password in a table. Only guest got the acces to this table and only from forms.
4. When the userid is passed from the server, using guest account check if its a valid user name, if yes get the password from the table and login using that.
Note there is a risk of storing username /password in the database. So while storing the username/ password you can use some encryption and from the forms
decrypt it.
