Problem setting up DSN for 10g ODBC driver

Hello,
I am simply trying to install an ODBC driver for 10g. To accomplish this, I first downloaded the odbc driver for 10g 10.2.0.2.0. The Readme notes said that I need to install the odbc driver using the Oracle Universal Installer. So I got a copy of just the OUI from our DBA. I installed the OUI 10.2. Using the installer, I installed the 10.2.0.2.0 odbc driver. The Readme notes said to look for the file "products.jar", which was not available, but "products.xml" was, so I used "products.xml", and the driver installed successfully.
The next step was to set up an ODBC DSN for this driver. When I attempted to do this, the Microsoft ODBC Administrator threw this message: The setup routines for the Oracle in DEFAULT_HOME ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 127, followed by Could not load the setup of translator library.
Other threads suggested that I copy the DLLs mfc71.dll, msvcrt.dll, and msvcr71.dll from my C:\Windows\System32 directory to the directory where I installed the odbc driver (C:\orant\BIN) and to ensure that this directory path was defined under the PATH environmental variable. I followed all these instructions but to no avail - I am still having the same problem. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
>>could not be loaded due to system error code 127
Did you try install it on other machine ? Maybe this current machine has a DLL versions problems ...
Cheers

Oracle 10g ODBC Driver Missing in Control Panel

I have installed the Oracle 10g Client in a computer running Windows XP but the "Oracle in OraClient10g_client1" ODBC driver in the Drivers tab of the Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) form is missing. I know the Oracle ODBC driver is currently installed because:
1. I can connect to the database using DSN-less connection. "Driver={Oracle in OraClient10g_client1}; DBQ=[TNSname];UID=[username];PWD=[password]"
2. The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers show an entry for "Oracle in OraClient10g_home1".
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know if you've got an answer yet or not, but I had the same problem when I installed Oracle 10 client. There is a similar issue on the Oracle forum (Re: ODBC Driver Install Problem. Basically, what was happening is a line had been entered in the ODBC Drivers file that contains "@=". Anything following that line is NOT displayed in the ODBC Admin list.
To fix this problem, open Regedit and export the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers" key to a file. Edit the file to remove the line "@=" and save the file. Delete the registry key, and merge in your updated file.

Oracle 10g ODBC driver with Windows 7 32 bit connecting to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue connecting to our oracle 10g database (64 bit system) from a 32 bit windows 7 installation running excel 2010/2007 using odbc drivers. Our excel spreadsheets worked without issue in windows xp.
In windows 7 I have been able to install the odbc driver via the following method:
1. Download the oracle 'basic' client and oracle 'odbc' client from www.oracle.com and extract the contents:
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
2. Create a folder 'oracle' and place the instantclient_10_2 folder inside.
3. Ensure all the basic and odbc files reside in this folder.
4. Create a 'network' folder within instantclient_10_2
5. Create an 'admin' folder within 'network'
6. Create sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files within the 'admin' folder:
7. Run 'obdc_install' within the instantclient_10_2 folder
8. Download and run the oracle odbc driver exe file from www.oracle.com (ORA10203.exe)
9. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and create a new System DN
This allows excel spreadsheets connecting ONLY to oracle to function.
Unfortunately some of our spreadsheets connect to both a MySQL database as well as oracle. Spreadsheets connecting only to MySQL also function correctly, however, as soon as the vb associated with a spreadsheet includes a mysql call followed by an oracle call the spreadsheets fail. In Excel 2007 excel crashes completely everytime. In Excel 2010 the mysql data is generated, then when the script hits to oracle odbc connection there is a long pause, the oracle ODBC driver connect pops up requesting a username/password (this didn't happen in xp), then the data source selection pops up, then the username/password connect screen pops up again, and finally it fails with a runtime error '1004' General ODBC error.
If you look at the VB script it's failing at the Refresh BackgroundQuery statement in the ODBC connection block:
With Worksheets("Oracle1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Oracle_ODBC;UID=user;PWD=password;SERVER=ORACLE_LINUX;", _
Destination:=Worksheets("Oracle1").Range("A1"))
.CommandText = strSql
.Name = "Oracle1_data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very important!!
Also if you try to edit the oracle ODBC connections in Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources, ODBC crashes 95% of the time.
Advice greatly appreciated!!

Well, here's what I'd check anyway..
1) get Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com
2) make a mysql connection, get a list of dll's loaded (include the location and version columns in the lower pane output)
3) close that, then make an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls.
4) close that, then make a mysql connection followed by an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls
5) compare the lists of loaded dlls. In particular, the difference between #3 and #4, is there a dll dependency that gets loaded by oracle's odbc that comes from a different location when you've opened a mysql connection first?
May or may not help, but might turn up a difference to help point you in a direction.

Oracle 10g ODBC driver (ver 10.1.0.2) : SQLConnect Hangs

hi,
We have a Win32 multithreaded app which uses the given 10g driver, but intermittently all the threads hang on SqlConnect.
After running Adplus the call stack that we get , always point to oranls10. This is the call stack from the last time the server hanged when it tried to do a SQLConnect.The call stack generated by adplus is given below:

Since we have been facing this issue for a long time, we decided on making use of the SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT value before we issue a SQLConnect, but that driver doesn't seem to like that option even though it says its 3.5 compliant
lRetcode = SQLSetConnectAttr( OD_DBDBC(pCtx), SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT,(SQLUINTEGER )10, SQL_IS_UINTEGER );
Setup details
Oracle 10g Release 1 Enterprise database server
App has been built using VC++6 and is running on Win2003 Enterprise Server
Our analysis has shows that the network was fine as other apps were able to connect to the database at that time
Question
1. Is this a Driver related issue? Because when we were using Merant ODBC driver, everything seems to be working fine!
2. Is there some patch that is out there which might resolve this issue?
If you all folks could help or provide some kind of advice , i would really appreciate that.
regards,
GG

Well, do you have a code example that causes it? Don't take this the wrong way, but I've seen more than a few badly written multi-threaded applications which do nothing but corrupt memory and use handles in non-threadsafe ways; all of which cause issues which rear their ugly heads in various odd ways. It may also be an Oracle bug, but comparing two different drivers does not mean it's not your application causing the crash as well.
If you could provide a quick little code sample which causes the issue, I'll take a look at it for you.

Minimum Install for Using ODBC Driver.

What is the minimum installation required for using ODBC from a client machine.
EG I have an application in Access and I want to connect to a table on my oracle server. The user machine, has Access installed, and I don't wnat to install the whole 50 megs(OK I exagerate A little but not much) of NET 8 client just so they can look at a table in Access from Oracle.
What specific elements are necessary in the install, TCP/IP, Named pipe protocol adapters?, required support files?, SQL*plus 8?
Say its a version 8.0.4 server for arguments sake and I want the least hassle setting up 50 users who already have office installed with the latest version of MS ODBC32, they have no Oracle software on their machines.
null

Unfortunately, you'll need to do at least a minimal Oracle client install. While we probably don't actually rely on everything that gets installed here, we don't test our driver with anything less than a minimal install.

Setting System DSN for MS Access Database using Java Code

How to set the system DSN for Access database using Java Code at runtime....???
Replies are deeply appreciated...

I found a 3rd Party MS Access JDBC Driver from a Google search. I downloaded and tried the free trial version. It worked fine but we opted not to purchase the full version and went a different route. If you don't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can track down the name of the product we tested.

Specifying Partner Failover in odbc.ini for Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server

Hi,
We are trying to specify the partner failover when making connections via Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server. Do you know a way to specify partner failover in the DSN entry in odbc.ini?
We are using Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server and unixODBC DriverManager.
Our DSN is:
[MyDSN]
Driver=ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
Description=MyDSN
Server=MySERVER,<port>
I also tried to use the following connection string in Python (via pyodbc) bypassing the DSN and connecting using the server name.
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Server=server1,<port>;UID=sa;PWD=<pwd>;Driver=ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server;Failover_Partner=Server2,<port2>;Database=MyDB")
If the standby DB is on server1 connection fails. It doesn't try server2. If the DB is principal on server1 connection succeeds.
Thank you,
Liviu

Hello,
Did you use ODBC Driver for SQL Server to connect to database that uses database mirroring?
According to
the BOL,it does not list "Failover_Partner" as ODBC Driver for Linux connection string keywords.
But ODBC driver for Linux supports
AlwaysOn Availability Groups or Failover Cluster Instance by specify MultiSubnetFailover=True when connecting to a SQL Server 2012 availability group listener or SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster Instance.
The following case is about similar issue and it seems that ODBC Driver on Linux does not recognize Failover_Partner in connection string. (Not test myself).You can refer to:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/6a8b5223-066d-4493-84a3-b5374a32e433/native-client-on-linux-does-not-recognize-failoverpartner-in-connection-string?forum=sqldataaccess

Oracle 10g ODBC Driver Bug (10.1.0.3.1)

Using the ODBC driver version 10.1.0.3.1, there is a problem retrieving BLOB data in chunks using multiple calls to SQLGetData() when the datatype specified is SQL_CHAR.
Instead of returning (<BufferLength> - 1) characters (ANSI) along with a NULL, it returns exactly <BufferLength> characters (possibly with a NULL, I haven't double checked this) - pretty much the behavior you would expect if SQL_BINARY was specified. This has the affect of losing one character for each truncated chunk.
According to the ODBC spec, "If the length of character data (including the null-termination character) exceeds BufferLength, SQLGetData truncates the data to BufferLength less the length of a null-termination character. It then null-terminates the data. If the length of binary data exceeds the length of the data buffer, SQLGetData truncates it to BufferLength bytes."
The way I read this, as long as you specify the datatype as SQL_CHAR, the character data rules should be applied.
I tried to submit this as a TAR in Metalink, but it seems I don't have the TAR button. Is this the correct forum for this issue? Thanks.
Jon

AFAIK, Oracle doesn't officially monitor these forums and where/when they do it is a haphazard and volunteer basis (personal observations).
They do monitor the MetaLink forums so perhaps that was the cause of the confusion. At any rate the answer to use a forum to file a bug is wrong you do it through a support TAR and that can either be created from MetaLink (TARS button--missing for you) or via the phone.

How to register 10g ODBC driver list in the Create New Data Source window

Hi
I've checked the dll for the odbc is in the correct home path. However, i don't see the list of the driver when i try to create a new data source. Is there a way besides reinstall the client again.
Thanks

Hi Joe,
According to your description, after you run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, Access driver is not displayed when you expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI node.
The issue is caused by wrong path of odbccad32, please make sure that you are using Administrator account or you have administrative privileges, then refer to the following steps:
Go to Control Panel.
Click Administrative Tools.
Right-click Data Sources(ODBC) to open Properties dialog box.
In Target text box, type %windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
In Start in text box, type %windir%\syswow64, then click OK to save the settings.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Looking for Essbase ODBC driver for iBATIS.

I've seen this question posted 2-3 times before but not with any solid answer. I'm deloping a piece of Java code that is going to use iBATIS SQL mapping (not really important I guess) to connect to an Essbase database sitting on a Microsoft box and insert information into the tables. Is there a JDBC/ODBC driver available for this? I remember something about the driver being on the server itself with the install but what is the location of it? Looking for any help, thanks.

Anyone?

Standard for HANA ODBC driver

What is the ODBC conformance standard followed by HANA ODBC Driver. Is it certified for Level-2?

Hello Thomas,
given that the HANA ODBC driver pretty much seems to be a ported version of the MaxDB ODBC driver (and this one supports ODBC 3.51) I would dare to say: yes, ODBC Level-2 should work. (likely with the same restrictions that apply for the MaxDB driver... [listed here|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/46/77b97188115808e10000000a114a6b/content.htm]...
