RDB ODBC V3.0.2.0 : Sqlstate 01004 upon DB-Connect: why ?

Hello !
I Tried to upgrade my RDB-ODBC Driver from V 2.10.17.00 to V 3.0.2.0
Prior to the installation I had working ODBC-Connections to 4 VMS Nodes, all of them running VMS V7.0, Oracle RDB V7.0-5. Two of these Nodes have SQLServices V7.0, two have SQLServices
V7.1. The PC-Client is an NT4.0 Box with SP6a.
After the installation of the V3 ODBC-Driver, I can connect to the nodes running SQLServices V7.0 but not to not to the nodes with SQLSRV 7.1. Upon __connecting__ to the latter nodes with odbctest V2.5.3.1.0, I get the following errormessages:
"SQLSTATE: 01004
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Die Daten wurden abgeschnitten) (=Data was truncated)"
and subsequently:
"SQLSTATE: 01004
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Oracle][ODBC]String data, right truncated"
After these messages, the Odbc-Test programme does NOT allow to execute any queries, since
obviously the Programme did not properly connect to the server Database.
When I Connect to the same Database with the old V2 Driver, the connect works fine.
Could somebody please check out where this error comes from ? suggestions are welcome !
I do not know wether this problem is due to an ODBC-Driver Error of some sort,
or rather an Sql-Services error, a dll mismatch or dodgy Registry entries.
Thanks in advance !

First, the Oracle database and the RDB database (owned by Oracle Corp), are completely separate animals. Unfortunately for you, the folks around here, myself included, are vastly more familiar with the Oracle database than with RDB, so we may not be much help.
If you have access to Metalink, I'd start by looking at Document 225779.1 "Oracle ODBC for RDB FAQ".

  • Msg 0, Sev 0, State 1: Unknown token received from SQL Server [SQLSTATE HY000] String data, right truncation [SQLSTATE 01004] [SQLSTATE 08S01] error

    I'm looking for some general guidance on this complete error:
    Msg 0, Sev 0, State 1: Unknown token received from SQL Server [SQLSTATE HY000]
    String data, right truncation [SQLSTATE 01004]
    Msg 16389, Sev 16, State 1: The connection is no longer usable because the server response for a previously executed statement was incorrectly formatted. [SQLSTATE 08S01]
    This error is caused by a SQL Agent Job, but it does not always occur. I understand this could be an issue with SQL dropping the connection, but what is the best way to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hi philliptackett77,
    It would be more helpful for troubleshooting the issue if you post the SQL Server error log and SQL Server version. Additionally, please state what purpose of using the agent job.
    Based on my research, [SQLSTATE 08S01] error means communication link failure. If the executed statement returns invalid value in the job, the connection between server and client will fail. This error could be caused by the error of [SQLSTATE HY000] and
    [SQLSTATE 01004]. I’d like to share my knowledge about these errors as below.
    Quote: String data, right truncation [SQLSTATE 01004]
    This error could occur when passing data whose length is larger than the received object,and the passed value is truncated, and returns invalid value. So please check if the data type of the objects are identical and the length of passed value is not larger
    than the received object.
    Quote: Msg 0, Sev 0, State 1: Unknown token received from SQL Server [SQLSTATE HY000]
    The error could occur in the two cases below.
    1. If you use SQL Server version 6.50, and execute the cursor in the job step, set the statement options to use a server-side cursor and prepare a select statement on a SQL Server system table. The first execution of the select creates the cursor successfully.
    After you close this cursor, if you execute the prepared statement again, the error could occur.
    I recommend you to apply the latest service pack firstly. If the error still occurs, you could change your code by using a forward-only cursor instead of a static, keyset, or dynamic cursor on the system tables. If a forward-only cursor is unacceptable,
    prepare the select statement again on the system table and execute it to create a server-side cursor. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/151693/en-us
    2. The TDS stream from the server is invalid when transfer data between a database server and a client. This error is typically caused by a problem on the server. For more information about errors above, please refer to the article:

  • Rdb ODBC

    I am very new to working with Oracle systems from a developer standpoint. I am currently trying to connect (using VB.NET) to a RDB database. The items I've installed from the universal installer are:
    Oracle9i Client 9.1.0.1.0
    Oracle Data Provider for .NET 9.2.0.4.01
    Oracle Provider for OLE DB 9.2.0.4.0
    Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.5.4
    Oracle Objects for OLE 9.2.0.4.8
    I have MSAccess working with the RDB ODBC Driver, but cannot seem to get connected in any other way. I am working on a contract for the state, and all they have provided me with is information to use in the RDB configuration. Is there more information that I need to request to make a direct connection through the Oracle Data Provider for .NET? I understand the connection strings, and am trying to 'find' the Data Source required. I have an attach statement/server/class for the RDB connection but can't seem to decipher the Data Source from that.
    After about 6 hours of trying, I finally broke down and tried to get the RDB ODBC connection working in the application instead of fighting the .NET drivers. When I try to create a connection to the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC I can specify the Machine DSN that works in MS Access. When I 'test connection' the wizard responds that it works. But when I try to Save the Connection String I get this error message:
    The .Net Data OLE DB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) does not support the MSDASQL Provider, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.
    I'm hoping that:
    1. Someone can tell me what I need to do to get a connection string to work for the RDB ODBC driver in VB.NET
    2. Find out if there is a way to decipher the data source from a RDB attach statement knowing the server name.
    Thanks in advance, your time and help is appreciated.

  • Where is Rdb ODBC v2.latest ?

    I've searched online for the latest Rdb v2.x ODBC, and all I can
    find is the download for the v3.x ODBC. I've tried the v3 ODBC,
    but my application and it don't get along. I'm currently running
    v2.10.13, and would like to get the latest (I've seen a
    reference to v2.10.18).
    Thanks.
    Gary

    Thanks for the links.
    Some of them I had already tried.
    I downloaded /installed the MDAC to the latest, 2.8.
    There was no change.
    My Oracle RDB ODBC driver was relatively recent but I decided to refresh it anyway. TaDa!
    I believe IIS and Oracle RDB SQL/Services do not quite agree about client connections. I still see executors being created on the server when I think existing one's should be free to do the execution,... but I am not completely hanging my web server, and web clients are getting some response (data).
    I'll take it. I can tune the lifetime of executors.

  • ORACLE RDB ODBC

    Hello,
    Rdb ODBC questions are easily overseen in this forum. In general we recommend to post Rdb related questions in the communities at:
    https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/rdb_product_family_on_openvms
    There you are getting much faster a response because that site is watched by Oracle Rdb Engineering and Support.
    In your special case: does this happen frequently, is that still a problem for you? In that case enable client logging and if the client log file contains a message like SQLSRV-E-IDLEUSERTIMEOUT then you might have just a too small idle user timeout for your SQL/Services service that you use for your ODBC connection. You can change that value easily:
    SQLSRV> ALTER SERVICE <your service> IDLE_USER_TIMEOUT <new value in seconds>;
    If that does not help then you can always log a Service Request with Oracle Support.
    Regards

  • Rdb ODBC 3.3.2.4 Driver

    Hi,
    I've found the release notes for the Rdb ODBC 3.3.2.4 driver, but I can't find the download link. The only Rdb ODBC driver I can find is 3.3.2.0 which was last updated in June of 2010. Can anyone point me towards the 3.3.2.4 driver?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hi, the latest driver is released as a patch (19822870). The direct link is: https://support.oracle.com:443/epmos/faces/PatchSearchResults?searchdata=%3Ccontext+type%3D%22BASIC%22+search%3D%22%26lt…
    It requires an oracle support account to access it.

  • 08004:[oracle][odbc][ora]ora-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect ....

    This error has just recently started happening, and i cannot figure out why, i have not changed anything in tnsnames.ora file.
    i am always able to "test connection" in ODBC. even when i get the error in crystal.
    so i restart Crystal, and i am able to connect to db.
    strange thing is that always when i do a tnsping to db i always get the message :-
    TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
    Any ideas ?

    I am receiving a similar error.

    I've seen all sorts of discussion on the intertubes about possible fixes however, none stated are practical or they do not address my error specifically. I've exhausted resources on the net as well as those available to me.
    I'm currently running SAP Crystal Reports 2011 on WIN7 64bit and using Oracle in OraClient 10g_home1.
    Please let me know what insight you have. I cannot roll back to previous versions of Windows nor less encryption.

  • OpenOffice and Rdb ODBC

    I have the Oracle Rdb Driver v3.0.2 installed on a Windows client and a User DSN connection established in the ODBC Data Source Administrator control panel applet. I can query successfully with clients like MSQuery, Excel (with the SQLREQUEST() array function), and my terminal emulator (SmarTerm 9) which comes with built-in SQL functions. However, with OpenOffice 1.0 and 1.0.1, which comes with a query builder similar to MSQuery, I cannot get a proper list of available tables once the connection is made to the remote database.
    There are 3 log files on the client which offer some clues, but it is not clear (to me) whether the Oracle driver is faulty, or it's OpenOffice that's the problem. Buried in two of the logs are SELECT statements which appear to pass invalid SQL syntax to the database, causing it to return no table names.
    The first log is generated by the ODBC Data Source Administrator itself when Tracing is enabled. It's name is SQL.LOG by default. The other two logs are CLIENT.LOG and RDBODBC.LOG, generated by SQL/Services and the driver, respectively. The first, SQL.LOG, contains the following lines at the point where OpenOffice is requesting the list of tables:
    scalc fff01057-fff017d7     ENTER SQLTablesW
              HSTMT 0314028C
              WCHAR * 0x00000000
              SWORD 0
              WCHAR * 0x00000000
              SWORD 0
              WCHAR * 0x0323FFE8 [      -3] "%"
              SWORD -3
              WCHAR * 0x0314067C [      -3] "VIEW,TA"
              SWORD -3
    scalc fff01057-fff017d7     EXIT SQLTablesW with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS)
              HSTMT 0314028C
              WCHAR * 0x00000000
              SWORD 0
              WCHAR * 0x00000000
              SWORD 0
              WCHAR * 0x0323FFE8 [      -3] "%"
              SWORD -3
              WCHAR * 0x0314067C [      -3] "VIEW,TA"
              SWORD -3
    The second log, produced by SQL/Services on the client, shows that the '%' wildcard has been changed to '% '. Here's the SQLTablesW call in that log:
    ROUTINE LEVEL LOG at 11:19:43 on 07-Sep-2002
    ----SQLSRV_PREPARE
    --------SQL STATEMENT
    ------------len: 233, value: SELECT '',rdb$flags,rdb$relation_name,rdb$system_fl

    -------------------- rdb$relation_name LIKE '% ' ES
    --------------------CAPE '&' ORDER BY rdb$system_flag DESC,rdb$flags ASC,rdb$rel
    --------------------ation_name
    --------END OF MESSAGE
    Finally, the RDBODBC.LOG driver log shows a similar change to the LIKE clause of the SELECT statement:
    .0X00700138: SELECT '',rdb$flags,rdb$relation_name,rdb$system_flag,'' F
    .ROM rdb$relations WHERE rdb$system_flag=0 AND rdb$relation_name LIKE '
    .% ' ESCAPE '&' ORDER BY rdb$system_flag D
    .ESC,rdb$flags ASC,rdb$relation_name
    I'm no ODBC developer, but perhaps someone can suggest why the spaces are being added?
    Thanks,
    Alder

    Unfortunately RDB and Oracle are two completely different animals, so I'm really out of my element.
    My wild, uninformed, shot-in-the-dark guess is that this has something to do with Unicode. When Unicode data is encoded as UCS-2 (Windows default encoding), ASCII characters are stored in two bytes, [ACSII value][00]. The ODBC Driver Manager is supposed to know whether a driver supports Unicode and to translate Unicode data passed through it to ASCII if that's what the driver needs. Perhaps the translation isn't happening properly here...
    If you look at the SQL.log file for the applications that work, I'm going to guess that you see the function SQLTablesA (ASCII version) being called, rather than SQLTablesW.

    Nice breakdown. Much easier to try to help out from posts like that.
    As per our last discussion, I have downloaded Instant Client Downloads
    there is an application 'adrci.exe', Forget adrci. (it's just an extraneous tool)
    Follow installation instructions. (should include copying oci.dll and oraociei11.dll to a new folder of your choice)
    Finding the right doc in this case might be a little tricky, so try this:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10646/oci01int.htm#i423362
    If that does not help, call back with a description of what you tried from what document.
    If anything needs to set in environment variable, please let me know, how to do. I haven't worked on environment variables.Depends on your OS.
    But try:
    Windows key / Start button, type in env, choose Edit system environemnt variables.
    Click Environment Variables.... In System variables section in bottom half, scroll down to Path. Select Path line and click Edit...
    In the front of value, add the instantclient folder. E.g. c:\oracle\instantclient;<here comes rest of PATH>

    Also, the same thing happens with PL/SQL Developer, i'm using PL/SQL Developer version: 9.0.6.1665, when I entered username/password/database. The following message occuredYes, it also complains since 32-bit software pieces are missing.

  • Accessing RDB via ODBC

    Hi,
    Im currently running Oracle RDB v7.1-0 on an ALpha Open VMS box. Im using TCP/IP via Multinet. Apart from the Oracle RDB ODBC Driver; what other application do I need up and running on the Alpha so that I can attach to RDB via MS-Access ? Do I need to have SQL Services started on the Alpha ??
    Please help ?? Appreciate your suggestions.

    Is anybody still curious about this?
    Thanks!

  • Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb 2.10.11.00 on  Windows 2008 64-bit

    Hello,
    Our application runs on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and connects to RDB databases on Alpha Open/VMS via Oracle ODBC Driver fro Rdb release 2.10.11.00.
    We are migrating to Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment.
    We tested both recent Rdb ODBC driver releases (3.3.0.0 and 3.3.1.0) but we are getting errors intermittently when the application loads data from certain tables. Trace logs show no errors which could indicate the origin of the issue.
    We want to use the old (2.10.11.00) release but it cannot be installed only on the Win 2008 32-bit version.
    Can anyone suggest how to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb release 2.10.11.00 on a Windows 2008 64-bit Server?
    Thanks in advance,
    Momir

    Hello,
    Take a loot at http://www.connx-net.com/rdb.htm they have a 64 bit ODBC OLE DB JBC and .NET solution.

  • Where to download odbc 3.0.1 rdb win2000

    We're searching for the download location
    for the win 2000 odbc driver for RDB. THe utilities section of OTN looks like it only has ORACLE server drivers. Also checked
    METALINK with no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Assuming that such an animal exists (I was under the impression that the RDB ODBC driver developement had stopped before W2K came out), you probably want to talk with customer support to get it. I don't think there's a whole lot of RDB stuff on OTN.
