Please explain how to connect to an Oracle database with CF9 standard

Can someone walk me through this process? I am trying to help a group that upgraded frmo cf8 enterprise to cf9 standard.

1. You'll need to download the Oracle JDBC Drivers (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html)
2. Put the appropriate .jar files in your <coldfusion>/lib folder
3. Restart CF
4. Create a Datasource using the "Other" option
5. Create an appropriate connection string
Examples:
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@[HOST][:PORT]:SID
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@//[HOST][:PORT]/SERVICE
It has been a long time since I have done this, but I have done it and know it works. I remember the issue with SID vs SERVICE being a huge PITA.
Good luck,
Jason

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

How to connect to an Oracle database on one machine from another client machine?

I installed oracle database 11g (server and client) on one machine. It works perfectly. Then I installed oracle client (ODTwithODAC1120320) in another machine. Now I want to connect to the database of the previous machine. I tried to connect but It failed. I think .ORA files should be configured. What should I do to fulfill this.
thanks...

thank you for the quick response..
this link Installing Oracle Database Client for oracle client installation. But the content refers all oracle database installation. could you please get know me that oracle client means only the OdtWithODAC or some thing else? This link Installing Oracle Database Client explain but not the OdtWithODAC. Please let me know clearly.
Please let me know the exact name of the software that I should download from the oracle website that refers the oracle database client.
thanks

How to connect to an oracle database server from a linux server?

Hi,
I am a total newbie to oracle. At my work, I only know that there is a server with an oracle 10g database set up.
I was provided with the hostname, oracle sid, port, username and password but i don't know how to connect to it, log on to it and do things on the database.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get started (like how to log on to the server and start doing some simple things. )
Any help is appreciated :)
Thank you

Goto your local Oracle install directory and then goto folder NETWORK/ADMIN
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
do you see a tnsnames.ora file there? If you edit that file in your favorite editor, you would hopefully see some entries there already setup. See if one of those entries contain the hostname, sid, port that was given to you. if it does, that name is what you will use:
$ sqlplus username/password@name_of_tns_entry_you_found_aboveif not, then just duplicate an existing entry and change the relevant settings for your database, give it a new name and use it to connect.
alternatively you can also use the "Net Configuration Assistant" application.

How to connect to remote Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Hi,
I am very new to Oracle. I have created a successful application using OCCI call (createConnection()) to connect to local (resided on the same PC) Oracle Database. Now I would like to move the application to resided on a different PC and try to connect to Oracle Database. Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone points me to the right direction in doing this? Well at least for me, self study on OCCI documentation is pointing to the right direction ;-)
OCCI requires only four shared libraries (or dynamic link libraries, as they are called on some operating systems) to be loaded by the dynamic loader of the operating system.
Installing Instant Client resolve this.
Cheers!

How to connect two different oracle databases

Hi All,
I have a special scenario like the following:
I have an oracle Database 10g, it has to get some data from the Oracle Apps Database (the API is defined in the Views and Packages of the 10g database)
Is it possible for me to make a connection with the 10g database to the Apps database.
Do I have to use any engines like JDBC for the connection between the two databases
The issue here is because of security Issue, I cant create a database schema in the Apps database
What can be the solution for this issue..
Many thanks in advance
and best regards.......

You might be able to use a database link to connect from one db to another.

Connecting to an oracle database with SQLPlus

I'm trying to connect from one CentOS server with SQLPlus installed to another CentOS server with Oracle installed.
I've installed
oracle-instantclient-basic-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
and
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
on the first server.
I'm able to connect to the oracle server via SQL Developer without difficulties.
When I try to connect to it via the command line with SQLPlus, I'm running the following:
sqlplus savantdb@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl
But all I'm getting back is something that reads like help documentation.
I've exported the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point at /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib/:/lib
I've created a tnsnames.ora file in my home directory containing the following:
orcl=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=drax)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)
Then I tried moving to my home directory and running
sqlplus savantdb@orcl
This prompts for a password, then throws the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Then asks for a username/password, after which it throws the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
What I want to do is allow my unit tests written in Selenium and PHPUnit to make shell_exec calls to execute sql files to recreate the database from scratch before putting the application through its paces. So I need to make it totally non-interactive.
Can anyone give me a clue where I'm going wrong here?

You are mixing up the various naming methods. Try to stick to one!
Your first attempt sqlplus savantdb@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl uses the so-called "easy connect" method.
That's actually not a bad idea, as it is fairly short and does not require a "tnsnames.ora" file, which is a pain in the somewhere or else.
sqlplus has a parsing problem if you don't enclose part of the string in double quotes. You cannot find that in the documentation, but in Metalink Note 274757.1.
The syntax is like this:
sqlplus savantdb@\"//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl\"
Your second attempt tries to use the TNS (local) naming method, but for that you need to have an environment variable TNS_ADMIN pointing to the directory containing "tnsnames.ora". It does not matter if that directory is your current directory or not. You don't need that if you use the method described above.
The last error message is because of the annoying behaviour of sqlplus to ask for username and password (for a local connection!) again if the first attempt failed.
You can avoid that by giving sqlplus the -L flag.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
PS: If you want to "make it totally non-interactive" you should add a password, like
sqlplus savantdb/password@//192.168.100.37:1521/orcl
In that case, you don't need to add the \"

Anyone have useful information how to connect to an oracle database?

I first tried "Instant Client", following all the instructions, and had the problems described here I don't get it :(
And then I tried the 10g installation CD to install the client and all it did was install the exact same "instant client" files which I had already installed.
I'm just looking for a quick and easy way to get sqlplus and other clients like Tora connecting. After that, I will worry about how to get JDBC and PHP connecting. I don't mind reading documentation but not hundreds of pages of highly complex material with a raft of assumed knowledge (ie. I have no wish to become a DBA).
Any links to articles/tutorials etc would be appreciated - ie. connecting to ORACLE in 10 easy steps... not
"Installation Steps:
1. Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic package.
2. Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient".
3. Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.
4. Start your application and enjoy."
from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
which has turned out to be utterly useless and unhelpful :(

I guess I was asking a broader question in general which related to the more specific question in the "instant client" forum for which I provided a link.
I don't get it :(
This has more detail about the client environement and my initial attempts at connecting (as per instructions on the Instant Client page).

Connecting to an Oracle database after clicking on a foi

Does anyone know how or have any examples on how to connect to an oracle database after clicking on a 'feature of interest' in MapViewer? I want to be able to click on a 'feature of interest' on the map, and have a list of records from an oracle table displayed using the identified key of the foi. I am able to create the feature of interest, and add the event listener for 'mouse click', but am unsure how to connect to the database at this point. I have been able to connect to the database in a different jsp, but not from here. Thank you.

1. Create a JSP page that does the database query. It should take the foi id as an input parameter.
2. In the foi mouse click listener, display the JSP page in iframe. The iframe can be placed outside the map or inside the info window. The function should do something like this.
function myClickListener(point, foi)
mapview.displayInfoWindow(point, "<iframe id='my_iframe_id' frameborder=0 width=300px height=400px />", 300, 400) ;
var myIframe = document.getElementById("my_iframe_id") ;
myIframe.src = "http://myhost/myjsp?key=" + foi.id ;
}

Connect to oracle database with php script

Hello!
How can I connect to an Oracle database with a PHP script? I read about it at www.php.net:
"Oracle 8 functions; These functions allow you to access Oracle8 and Oracle7 databases. It uses the Oracle8 Call-Interface (OCI8). You will need the Oracle8 client libraries to use this extension."
Where can I get these libraries from?
Who knows more about the issue?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Install and put working a sqlnet working client (install the Oracle Client option of the Oracle Database CD ROM). Than compile php with the --oci option. Than try the samples in php.net (oci function in the help).
These are the steps... Put everything working is a little more complicated...
