Request: enable use of sql*plus via Oracle Instant Client.

hi,
great project....
I've just installed Raptor release 3 on top of oracle instant client, and it seems to be running fine. my sql*plus from the instant client functions from the command line, but the sql*plus menu item in the tools menu is grayed out.
review of the help files say's that oracle_home must be set, but instant client does not need an oracle_home. (uses tns_admin instead).
is there a work around for this? (other than loading the full oracle client w/ it's sql*plus)
thanks
GT

The SQL*Plus menu item does not seem to be correctly detecting the current connection context. I'm filing this as a bug to be fixed before we ship. In the current version, however, you can enable the menu item by ensuring first that the connection is selected in the Connections navigator.
When the menu is invoked, you will be prompted for the location of the SQL*Plus executable. On Windows, this should just be the path to sqlplus.exe (or sqlplusw.exe). On Unix platforms, you should include 'xterm' or an equivalent in order to ensure that SQL*Plus invokes in a window.

TOAD 8.5 with Oracle Instant Client 10: ORA-03134

Hi,
I have tried TOAD 8.5.0.50 and also TOra 1.3.16 to connect to the database via Oracle Instant Client 10, but I am restricted with this error message:
"ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported."
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Earlier version of TOAD works alright. We are using Oracle 8i. Are there any compatibility issues between Oracle database version with Oracle Instant Client version?
Thanks.

Just want to share with everyone. This is a reply that I got from another forum:
this is a oracle bug!
connections with the 10g client are supported to 8.1.7.0 and above.
the bug in the client causes this error.
you are only able to connect to 8.1.7.4 and above.
i made a service request but oracle is not able to patch the
instant client.
you have to use 10.1.0.3 client or above
Regards.

ORA-01816 when running with Oracle Instant Client

good morning
we are running the same SQL script on 2 computers.
- native system with DB
- via Oracle Instant client
when running via the instant client i get the following error.
( select to_char(to_date('1970-01-01') + "DATE" / 86400000, 'YYYY-MM-DD') "CD", logical_name
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
thanks for any hint

It probably works on one and not the other because you have set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for one system to match the format of the string you are passing in, so Oracle knows how to do the implicit conversion.

Error when connecting to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Oracle DB: 9i release 2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0
MS Excel: 2000
===================
When I try to connect to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel with "connect scott/tiger@odbc:libro" I get the following error:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed

SQL Server objects are commonly case sensitive, so please surround the column and table names by double quotes:
SELECT "Type_PK_ID" FROM "dbo"."boundaries"@sqlserver
SIDE NOTE: Oracle is by default not case sensitive and all object names are stored in upper case. To get case sensitive objects they need to be surrounded by double quotes. In HSODBC case sensitive table names were commonly found even when not surrounded by double quotes as the gateway used internal SQL Server methods to find the correct table nameing - this method does not work for column names. So to be able to query a case sensitive column it needs to be surrounded by double quotes and the table name must be written as stored in the source database.

SQL*Plus with Oracle 10g Express Edition

How Can I do to log in using SQL*Plus into Oracle 10g?
My Schema is: Banco.Global
My Password is: 111111
I need to write SET SERVEROUTPUT ON to get answer?
I opened the Prompt, but i don't know to log in.
Thanks and my english is not as well as you.

If i write:
SQL>connect "Banco.Global"/111111
a error message is raised: Invalid username/password; logon denied
but if I log in into Home Page with the same Username and Password, I get to log in.
There is difference to connect SQL*Plus and the connect with Home Page the Oracle?
I need to connect with SQL*Plus, because i need to make a test.

SQL Plus in Oracle 10g XE -

How can i works in oracle 10g XE using the SQL Plus.
When I try to connect, show-me and error.

After installing XE poke a little in the file system directory where you installed.
In the bin directory youll find the sqlplus executable. In the network/admin directory youll find the tnsnames file with a service name by the name of XE configured.
So, as long as you hit that tnsnames file and connect with an unlocked user you should be OK.
sqlplus user/pass@XE
Potential problem you have some previous Oracle Client installation and you hit the tnsnames file from there you could add the XE configuration there too. Or use environment variables to switch over to the XE installation.
Try a tnsping XE and see what is says.

Cannot log in to SQL Plus on Oracle 8i

Hi,
I have Oracle 8i (8.1.6) Client installed on windows 200 professional. I donnot connect to any servers, and I want to use the SQL Plus module, but I have trouble to login SQL plus, and I an get error message:
ORA-12560: TNS:Protocole adapter error.
Would you please let me know what they are supposed to be: username, password and host string ?
Am I using the correct version, or I have to use the personnal edition, and if so I have Oracle 8i personnal edition, but it is not working with 2000, is there a patch file or do I have to download the 2000 version.
Thanks a lot in advance.

The default logins for Oracle8i are:
SYS/CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
SYSTEM/MANAGER
SCOTT/TIGER
If you are connecting to the default database, don't enter anything in the Host String area. If you are connecting to a remote database, you will need to set up Oracle Net on your machine to connect to the remote database (tnsnames.ora file).
Do you have a database to connect to? You have installed the Oracle8i Client, which should be used to connect to remote databases (on other machines). If you don't have a remote database, you should install the full Oracle9i Server component, not just the Client.
The Oracle8i Personal Edition includes a cut-down version of the Server and the Client, and I think this is what you should be using if you don't have a remote database to connect to.
Personal Edition Version 8.1.6 is now desupported, but was certified against Windows 2000. Personal Edition Version 8.1.7 is still supported and is also certified against Windows 2000.

URGENT - cannot log in to SQL Plus on Oracle 8i

Hi, I have Oracle 8i (8.1.6.0.0) installed on windows 98.
I want to use the SQL Plus module, but I have trouble to login SQL plus, and I an get error message:
ORA-12560: TNS:Protocol adapter error
I supposed the default username and password as follows:
SYS/CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
SYSTEM/MANAGER
SCOTT/TIGER
Am I using the correct version or edition (which I also don't know which edition)? Does windows 98 supports SQL Plus?
I was told to set up a database by selecting database administration then follow by database configuration assistant (in order to use the SQL Plus, firstly a database have to set up). I'm not sure whether this is true? but inside the database administration I don't have the so call "database configuration assistant". Can someone please help me?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I hope you can help, I'm in the same boat as the others who cannot log on to the SQL* using Oracle Personal Edition 8
I'm running on 98, and everytime I try entering SYS as username & CHANGE_ON_INSTALL as password, or SYSTEM as username & MANAGER as password; I get:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: Shared memory realm does not exist
I've been trying for a number of days, and have created databases using the Database config assistant, and everytime, it gives me the details as SYS CHANGE_ON_INSTALL etc, but it still doesn't let me log into SQL*
Any help would be gratefully received,
Patrick

SQL*Plus and Oracle

Hi, i have recently started a new course where i am required to learn sql using the sql*plus program and several books. I have downloaded the instant client and the sql*plus program so that i can run them on my computer at home so i can learn at home. However i get a problem where i cannot logon to sql*plus.
I believe this may be because i do not have an oracle server running on my pc, i am however not sure, would be gratefull for any help.

Yes, you will need an Oracle Server to connect to. On your personal system, you can download Oracle XE (Express Edition) from OTN and use that. It contains both the server and client (SQL*Plus) components.

[0098]SQL*Plus encountered oracle error 100 while executing SQL Statement

Hi,
i'm trying to delete duplicate records from a table and running following script. this script is triggered from a unix script. it successfully deletes the records but in the last throws following error message,
:[0098]SQL*Plus encountered oracle error 100 while executing SQL Statement:2:Investigation required:
can anybody please help? below is the script.
DECLARE
--CURSOR FOR DUPLICATE ROWS
CURSOR CUR_DUPLICATE_ROWS IS
Select RMS_NOTE_ID, RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID, count(*) cnt from PARTY_NOTE
group by RMS_NOTE_ID,RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID having count(*) > 1;
var_date PARTY_NOTE.PARTY_NOTE_CREATED_DATE%TYPE;
BEGIN
FOR DUPLICATE_ROWS_REC IN CUR_DUPLICATE_ROWS
LOOP
delete from party_note
where RMS_NOTE_ID= DUPLICATE_ROWS_REC.RMS_NOTE_ID
and RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID= DUPLICATE_ROWS_REC.RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID
and rowid not in (select max(rowid) from party_note
where RMS_NOTE_ID= DUPLICATE_ROWS_REC.RMS_NOTE_ID and RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID= DUPLICATE_ROWS_REC.RMS_SUMMARY_NOTE_ID);
commit;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLERRM);
ROLLBACK;
END;

Try this:
delete party_note
where rowid not in (select max(rowid)
from party_note
group by rms_note_id, rms_summary_note_id
commit;No need for cursors and loops.
And when that's completed, consider ALTERing the table to add a unique index (or even a primary key) so you'll never need to do this again.

Can't use ";" in sql clause with Oracle 8.X

Can't use ";" in sql clause with Oracle 8.X
I can't use ";" at the ending of sql clause in VB program. First this program can use with Oracle 7.3.4 database. But now i need to upgrade DB to Oracle 8.1.7 ,program can't operate. It show error Runtime 40002
and 37000:ODBC driver for oracle/invalid charactor
Thankyou

I've seen a lot of discussion about semicolons in SQL
sent from 3rd party applications. A web search should
bring up the discussions.
Also you might get more response if you ask this question
somewhere else. This is not a VB forum, so you may

Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

Hi,
on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
Data source name: Anything
TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
User ID: myUser
then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
and it works!
I cannot figure out what's my problem.
Thanks,
Roy.

I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
SQL> desc test;
Name Null? Type
ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
My character set being used is:
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
BYTE
So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc TEST;
---------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
---------------------------------------------------+
| attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
Name Null? Type
attività VARCHAR2(80)
So in general it should work.

CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

Two questions.
I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
Second question: I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
Any info helps. Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Below are the replies to your questions:
Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
- Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
- Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
- You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
Please update with the results.
Thanks!

Linux: oracle instant client sqlplus cannot locate glogin.sql

Hi, I've downloaded and extracted instantclient and sqlplus for instant client. Added instantclient to libraries (through ldconf), added sqlplus.so to libraries also, added sqlplus executable to $PATH, installed rlwrap. I see that in sqlplus's directory there is glogin.sql. I've added "set linesize 100" there. Also I've created SQLPATH variable pointing to the directory where glogin.sql located. But it seems that when I connect to my database through 'rlwrap sqlplus name/pwd@url:port/sid' glogin.sql isn't applied. I execute 'show linesize' and it prints me default 80. Please advise.

hi,
have you had any success in resolving your glogin issue?
the recommended setting of ORACLE_HOME didn't help, neiother did ORACLE_PATH nor renaming glogin.sql to login.sql;
regards, carsten
ps:
oracle instant client 11.2.0.3.0 on win 7 x64
pps: (partial solution)
executing sqlplus in the directory where a login.sql file is located did the trick for me
