Problem finding data in an Oracle Database using CMP beans

I am having a problem retrieving data from an Oracle database that has a date as
part of the key. This data was loaded into my database via a batch process writing
in java using java.sql.Date to store the date information. When calling the findByPrimaryKey
method of a CMP Entity Bean I continued to get the FinderException. I know this
data is in my database because I can view the data via SQLPlus and Microsoft Access.
Has anyone ever experience problems with CMP beans accessing data from an Oracle
database that had a date as part if the key or with accessing data in the database
that insert via another method outside of your CMP bean. I desperately need some
answers.

Hi Dave,
You should probably post this type of question in the CMP or JDBC section
for best results. Chances are that the date is suffering from a rounding
problem (it could be a date/time in the database with a different time zone)
or is not the date that you think it is (wrong century or millenium). I've
seen both. You need to write a quick piece of code that loads in those
values as both Java timestamps and dates and makes sure that they are what
you think they are.

hello....
here is how i do it if i use access, i just set in my server.xml as bellow....

<Context path="/pmod" docBase="pmod" debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_pmod_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Ejb name="ejb/User" type="Session" home="pmod.user.UserHome" remote="pmod.user.User"/>

          <parameter><name>driverName</name><value>jdbc:odbc:pmodDb</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</Context>
later i would call from my servlet as follows
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext ();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup ("java:comp/env/jdbc/pmodDb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
then i can establish connection to my database... but now i change to oracle and my server.xml i configure as follows

<Context path="/pmod" docBase="pmod" debug="0" reloadable="true">
          <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_pmod_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Environment name="maxExemptions" type="java.lang.Integer" value="15"/>
<Parameter name="context.param.name" value="context.param.value" override="false"/>
          <Resource name="jdbc/pmodDb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/pmodDb">
               <parameter><name>user</name><value>pmod_owner</value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>password</name><value>pmod_owner</value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>driverClassName</name><value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value></parameter>

</ResourceParams>
</Context>
and i call from my servlet like before ...
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext ();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup ("java:comp/env/jdbc/pmodDb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
the datasource would return null in other word i cannot find the database
however if i tried to establish connection directly,
String u1 = "pmod_owner";
String p1 ="pmod_owner";
String path = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.9.200.2:1521:PMOD";
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( path, u1, p1 );
i can talk with the database....
so if anyone out there can help me to point me where did i go wrong?
fyi: i have put a lib which contains oracle jdbc driver called classes12.zip in my c:\tomcat\common\lib\
thank you

Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
    [OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
error?

Hi H.James,
According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
                   from Conference_C C
                   where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

Insert data into oracle database using a PHP form

I'm trying to enter data into my oracle database table using a php form. When I click submit no data is added. Could someone help me please. I'm new to php/oracle thing.
NOTE: I don't have any problem connecting to the database using php.
Here is the code I'm using:
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// insert client's name
$query = "INSERT INTO client (name) VALUES ($data)";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>
Thanks for your help. I will also appreciate a better was to do it.
Tony

resumption and jer,
Sorry I cannot format the code for easy reading!
The page is submitting to itself. See action = \"$uri\". I used the same logic to enter SELECT querries into the database. It pulls and displays data back on the webpage. The code I used for this is below. Compare it with the one above for inserting data into the table.
<?php
// connect to oracle
$username = "xxxxx";
     $paswd = "yyyyy";
     $dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
          "(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
          "(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
     $db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
// username and password will be unset if they weren't passed,
// or if they were wrong
if( !isset($query)) {
// just print form asking for account details
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Query: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=query value=\"$query\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// remove unwanted slashes from the query
$query = stripslashes($query);
// run the query
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// Open the HTML table.
print '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">';
// Read fetched headers.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="e">'.ocicolumnname($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Read fetched data.
while (ocifetch($stmt))
// Print open and close HTML row tags and columns data.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="v">'.ociresult($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Close the HTML table.
print '</table>';

How to find out the date when an oracle database is upgraded

Hi,
I would like to know the date when an oracle database is upgraded (for example 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3).
Can you help me to find out these details.
Thanks,
Sarayu

Hi Ed and SB,
Thanks for your replies. How about this option?
Let us assume I am interested in checking when my database is upgraded to any 11g version.
Will this query help?
select min(first_usage_date) from dba_feature_usage_statistics where version like '11%';
I understand this may not be a generic solution , but with this idea I may be able to build up a query to get the result.
Thanks,
Sarayu
How is it that you or nobody knows when the DB was upgraded?
I would have expected a formal testing & upgrade plan.
Does the organization practice safe software & utilize any source code repository?
Does everyone suffer from amnesia?
How could a MAJOR database upgrade slip by everyone who should care about such a detail?

FETCH DATA FROM ORACLE DATABASE USING Web Dynpro

I want to fetch data from ORACLE database using Web Dynpro.How can I do this?

1) Are you sure that you get no results? It sounds like you are having name resolution issues, which would imply that you should be getting an ORA-00942 error indicating that the table doesn't exist (or that you don't have access to the table). If you are not seeing this error, I would tend to suspect an overzealous exception handler.
2) What database account owns the table? What database account is your ASP.Net application using to connect? Assuming these two accounts are different, your application would either have to
- Explicitly prefix the table name with the schema name
- Have a public or private synonym that maps the table name to the fully qualified identifier schema_name.table_name
- Issue the command ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = <<schema name>> in each session, in which case all queries in the session would use the specified schema name as the default if no schema name is prefixed.

How to connect Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X PPC G4, XCode 2.4.1?

Hi All,
How to connect the Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X? I have used Instant Client library "instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3" provided by the Oracle but could not be success. I'm using PowerPC G4, Mac OS X 10.4.9, and XCode version 2.4.1.
Specially Mr Oscar Armanini has done this in C on Mac OS X. Please let me know. I would be very thankful to you.
Thanks,

Hi Ghufran

How to Install, Configure and Test Oracle 10g Instant Client Basic,
SQL*Plus and SDK Packages for Mac OS X
(Runs OCCI sample code - occidml.cpp)
The first Metalink Note uses an OCI examples and it is pasted here below,
in case you don't have a Metalink ID.
The second Metalink Note uses an OCCI example.
I have never used Instant Client (neither on Os X or on other platform),
but I was successful on compiling C programs (no GUI involved) using the
Full Client installed on my PowerBook G4.
I'm a DBA, but I was a developer years ago (about when Oracle 7.3
was considered a giant step forward): I installed the Oracle 10.1 db
(a complicated job for a developer) and I got the Full Client
installed as well, for free, so I was happy to compile one of the demo C sources
(those that you can find in the Oracle Pro*C manuals:
by the way, Oracle Pro*C manuals are really worth reading).
Good luck
Oscar
Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.0.3
Apple Macintosh PowerPC
Goal
This article will show you how to install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software for the Mac.
It will install the following packages:
the Basic package
the SQL*Plus package and
the SDK package
and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
It will also show you how to setup and test a sample program, cdemo81.c, that uses the Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
to connect to the database.
The sample program is located under the <Instant_Client>/sdk/demo directory.
Solution1. Download the following three (3) files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
You will need an account to do this.
Macintosh OS X 10g Instant Client Software
a. instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (32,395,622 bytes)
b. instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (326,740 bytes)
c. instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (293,913 bytes)
NOTE: The above three (3) files will be updated as new patches are released for the 10g Instant Client software. 10.1.0.3 or later versions (10.1.0.x) of these files may be used similarly with this article.
2. Save the following text into a file called tnsnames.ora:
# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
# error when running the setup script and attempting to connect to Oracle
# from SQL*Plus then the name of your SERVICE NAME (i.e. ORCL) may require
# that you include the DOMAIN (i.e. US.ORACLE.COM) in order to connect successfully.
# To obtain the DOMAIN of your environment, type "hostname" from your shell
# and it should report this information back to you. Configure your SERVICE
# NAME to look like Example 2.
# Example 1
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = orcl)
# Example 2
#ORCL.US.ORACLE.COM =
# (DESCRIPTION =
# (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
# (CONNECT_DATA =
# (SERVER = DEDICATED)
# (SID = orcl)
3. Save the following text into a file called sqlplus_script.sql:
SELECT user FROM dual;
SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SELECT 'successful ' AS TEST_RESULTS FROM dual;
exit;
4. Save the following text into a file called setup1:

# MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
# ===========================================
# DESCRIPTION
# ===========
# This script will install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software
# for the Mac. It will install the Basic, SQL*Plus and SDK (OCI/OCCI) packages
# and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
# Once this script has completed, you will need to run the script SETUP2 to build
# and run the CDEMO81.C sample application located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder
# in your newly installed Instant Client home.
# NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully, you MUST perform any

# 2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
# 3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
# 4 - tnsnames.ora (configured properly)
# 5 - sqlplus_script.sql (connectivity test)
# 6 - setup1 (this file)
# 7 - setup2 (will run this file later)
# (2) Edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file and update it with the necessary information
# to connect to a database on your network. Be sure to note the comments
# in this file. You will have to change the following information:
# SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
# HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
# PORT (1521)
# SID (orcl)
# (3) Go to the end of this scrip and modify the following line:
# ./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
# Replace "orcl" with the SERVICE NAME you used in step (2) above.

# ===========
# This script will build and run the OCI sample application CDEMO81.C inside
# your Instant Client (IC) software located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
# NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully
# (A) you MUST have already run the script SETUP1 successfully

# SETUP
# =====
# (1) You need to edit the CDEMO81.C application PRIOR to running this script to
# change the connection information. By default, the application will attempt
# to connect as user SCOTT with password TIGER to a local Oracle database using
# the BEQ-LOCAL network protocol. This will not work.
# (A) You need to make sure you have the SCOTT/TIGER schema created in your database.
# If not, have your DBA create it by running the script "SCOTT.SQL" from your
# <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin folder.
# (B) You need to modify the CDEMO81.C application to connect to the database
# you have configured inside your TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# (i) Open the CDEMO81.C file located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
# (ii) Find the following line of code:
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"", strlen(""), 0);
# and change the two empty strings to the SERVICE NAME you are using like so
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"ORCL", strlen("ORCL"), 0);
# (iii) Save the file.
# (2) You MUST be in the initial directory where you copied all of the files listed

# TROUBLE-SHOOTING
# If you receive the following error messages:
# Error - ORA-24327: need explicit attach before authenticating a user
# Error - ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
# Then you did not modify the CDEMO81.C application with proper SERVICE NAME
# information. See step 1B under the SETUP section in this script to resolve
# this error.
6. Take all seven (7) files and move them into the same directory on your OS where you want to install the Instant Client software from:
1 - instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
4 - tnsnames.ora
5 - sqlplus_script.sql
6 - setup1
7 - setup2
7. Open the file tnsnames.ora. Be sure to review the comments in this file. You will have to change the following information to connect to a database on your network:
SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
PORT (1521)
SID (orcl)
Save the file.
8. Open the file setup1, go to the end of this script and modify the following line:
./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
Replace orcl with the SERVICE NAME you used in Step 7 above. Save the file.
9. You are now ready to install the 10g Instant Client software for Mac OS X. From the location where your seven (7) files reside, issue the following command:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
NOTE: Be sure to include the period "." and a space " " before the word "setup1" so all environment variables persist for the current session.
This will install the Instant Client Basic and SQL*Plus software and connect to the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
10. Here is the sample output of a successful execution of the setup1 script:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1

# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

Problem with date format from Oracle DB

Hi,
I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
I have changing the field settings in DataSource to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varada

Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
The issue again in detail
I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
The problem is, I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.
Regards
Varada

ClickOnce WinForms Application to retrieve data from an Oracle Database

I am hoping someone can help us.
We are trying to create a ClickOnce WinForms Application that will allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from an Oracle Database.
We are currently able to use such a ClickOnce WinForms Application to allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from SQL Server 2000 databases and even to a PICK Basic database. We use ole db drivers for these connections and keep the connection strings in a configuration file.
Our primary question now is:
1) What files would be needed on each client machine?
Thanks for any pointers.
:) Anne

The problem has been fixed.
If you wanna to load data from Oracle DB,the connect String should be like this:
cnss.open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;data source=orcl;User Id=fdmitf;Password=fdmitf"
besides, you should assign a value (True/False) to your function, as TonyScalese said in this post:
Import from RDB Fails with "Error:Import failed.Invalid data or Empty..."
Problem solved is always a great joy! Thanks!

Unable to connect to Oracle Database using Oracle Sql developer 2.1.1.64

Hi Everyone,
I am searching for some help regarding my problem with Oracle connectivity. I have installed Oracle 11g release 2 on my Windows XP Professional Laptop. For a few days after installation i could connect to the Oracle database with the SYSTEM account using Oracle SQL developer ( installed on the same Laptop) but now i am unable to do so.It gives me this annoying message:
An error was encountered performing the required operation Got a minus one from read call .Vendor code 0
However i am able to connect using Sql Plus by supplying the username SYSTEM and the corresponding password.
My TNSNAMES .ora file is as follows:
ORACLE =

(SESSION = RAW)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = D:\app
My Sqlnet.ora file is as follows:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
I am new to Oracle and so i need someone in this forum who can help me resolve this problem. Also i even tried connecting to the database using Toad 10.5.0.41. It give me the following error:
ORA 12537 : TNS Connection closed
Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost
*)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORACLE)))*

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.
