Setting up database link from server to client

I am trying to set up advanced replication using 8i Enterprise Manager's Replication Manager. I have made a connection from the client (8i Lite on windows NT 4.0) to the server, but not from the server to the client. I think my problem is that I don't have a database link set up from the server to the client. Could anyone please tell me how to do this? I am new to all this stuff and am really struggling. I have read in help that there is a Database Link Property Sheet, and am hoping this would be my answer, but I can't find it. PLEASE HAVE MERCY!!! Thanks in advance.

Lori,
You cannot create a link to the Oracle Lite Database because there is no listener. Oracle Lite Database therefore do not appear in OM, hence cannot be managed. However you can replicate between Oracle Lite Database and Oracle8i Server. For more information about Oracle Lite Database replication see the documentation on the Oracle8i Lite 4.0.1.2.0 CD (downloadable from OTN).

How to view database values from server to client

hi friends
i have database in server side, i am storing values to the database from client side machine through remote methods. But now i need to view the database values from the server side. how to do this using RMI.
Plz give me suggestion.

Why do you have to use RMI for this task? That way you've got to write both a client and a server. Just use JDBC directly from the server.

Creating Database Link from Oracle to SQL Server

I am trying to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server, and the documentation is about as clear as mud to me. Can anyone send me clear instructions on exactly what I need to do? What needs to be in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files? Is there anything other than those two files that needs to be set up? Do I set up an ODBC connection? Anything else? I want to execute queries against a SQL Server database and load data into Oracle database.
Thanks so much,
Susan

These are the instructions from an old document I created. The steps are same for SQL Server and Sybase. Hope it helps.
The 9i Transparent Gateway Software is in Oracle Software CD -> oracle9i database -> Custom -> Oracle Transparent Gateways
The gateway can be installed on the same machine as the Oracle database or
on the Sybase server or on a third machine as a stand-alone.
We have installed the gateway software in one of oracle database
servers in a separate oracle home.
These are the steps involved in configuring a gateway to a Sybase database
1.     Install Sybase client and Gateway software on the Gateway Server
2.     Configure <initsidfile> in the Gateway Server's <gatewayhome>
     /u00/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/tg4sybs/admin/init<gatewaysid>.ora
Sybase server and database information is required for this step.
eg: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=USTRUD01.uwd
3.     Add an entry in listener.ora in <listnenerhome>
     (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/listener.ora) for the <gatewaysid>
4.     Edit the tnsnames file (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora)
to add an entry <tnsalias> for the <gatewaysid>
5.     Create a database link to the Sybase database in the oracle database.
The steps for creating the database link are
a. create a login oracle_tgw in the sybase server
b. add the user to the sybase database with the necessary privilege on the tables
c. create the database link in the required oracle database using the command
     "create public database link <dblinkname> connect to oracle_tgw identified by password using 'tnsalias'; "
6.     Restart the gateway listener.

Creation of database link from oracle to sql server 2000

Hi
I need to create a database link from oracle to sql server 2000.

Assuming your Oracle database is running on Windows, you can set up a database link using ODBC using Heterogeneous Services and Generic Connectivity, but there are some functional limitations (i.e. no two-phase commits). If you can live with those limitations but aren't on Windows, you can generally purchase an ODBC driver for your operating system that will connect to SQL Server through someone like DataDirect and still use Generic Connectivity. If you cannot live with those limitations, you can purchase one of Oracle's Transparent Gateway products (though this can get somewhat pricey).
What version of Oracle are you on?
What operating system(s) are you using?
What are you going to use the database link for?

Problem with using database link from oracle 7 to oracle 9i

Hi To Every One
I have two oracle database oracle 7.3.4.0.1 and oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0.
and the tns alias to connect to oracle 9i database is oracle9i and tns
alias to oracle 7 database is oracle7.I have no problem in connect to
these database using these tns aliases from either database.The tns
alias for oracle 7 is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle9i and
tns alias for oracle 9i is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle 7.
So there is no connection problem from each other.Connection is
working fine for each other but the problem with database links is
like this
Problem:
when i create database link from oracle9i user or public database link
from oracle9i for oracle7 user like this
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
OR
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
The links get created sucessfully but when i write command like
SQL ORACLE9I> DESC <ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7
I RECEIVE A ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-12663 SERVICE REQUIRED BY CLIENT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE SERVER.
OR IF MY COMMAND IS LIKE
SQL ORACLE9I> SELECT <FEILD_NAME> FROM
<ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7;
I RECEIVE AN ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-01002 FETCH OUT OF SEQUENCE.
ORA-02063: preceding line from ORACLE7
BUT IF I CREATE A LINK FROM ORACLE7 USER FOR ORACLE9I USER
IT WORKS FINE.
PLZ HELP ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT THE LINK FOR ORACLE 7 IS NOT WORKING WHEN
IT IS BEING CREATED FROM ORACLE9I.
Thank u.

Oracle 9.2.0 does not support connectivity to Oracle 7. The newest version that will support this is 9.0.1.

DATABASE LINK from 92060 to 102030 issue

Hi All,
Question on Database link:
Database A -- 10.2.0.3.0
Database B -- 9.2.0.6.0
Created database link from 10g to 9i and it works fine as expected.
I tried from BOTH server and also a CLIENT (SQLPLUS from my PC).
Created databas elink from 9i to 10g and it works fine on server
for example:
SQL> select sysdate from dual ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
SQL> select sysdate from dual@<<DBLINKNAME>> ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
However, I'm unable to connect using SQLPLUS.
for example:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
SQL> select sysdate from dual ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
SQL> select sysdate from dual@daspnprd ;
select sysdate from dual@daspnprd
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Note;
=====
NO change in tnsnames.ora or LDAP.. ALL are identical
Any known issues???
Please help!!

Make sure you are resolving with LDAP, (check the sqlnet.ora contents) and not the local tnsnames. Verify the entry at the OID and verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier.

Problem connecting DataBase Link from windows oracle to oracle on Linux

I'm facing a problem with database links from windows oracle to Oracle hosted on Linux server.
I'm able to successfully create the Database Link using the following query on oracle database hosted on a windows server
CREATE DATABASE LINK SampleDB
CONNECT TO myuser IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'sample';
The tns names entry on windows for database in Linux server is as follows
DSOFT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sample)
But while executing the query "select count(*) from doctor@SampleDB;" in sql developer on windows, I'm getting the following error
SQL Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
Using the above tns entries, i'm successfully able to connect to the database in Linux server through sql developer installed on the windows machine. Then why i'm getting this error while executing the query on Database Link?. Can any one help me?

Can any one help me?A database link is acting as a client to the target, remote database in exactly the same fashion and using exactly the same tns infrastructure as any other client trying to connect to that remote database. your ORA-12154 when querying a db link means exactly the same as if you had gotten it trying to connect with sqlplus, from the same server. Check the link SB provided. Keep in mind that the tnsnames file of concern is the one on the source database server.

Different character sets on database links

Does someone know, how to select data from different machines with different character sets via database link transferring the umlauts correctly ?
The destination instance uses we8iso8859p1, the source machines have us7ascii (SAP) or we8iso8859p1. It is NOT allowed to change the character sets on the source databases!

This is not so easy to solve. The correct procedure is to fix your non-ASCII database to reflect the correct character set encoding of your data. Have you checked with SAP to see whether it is really not possible/supported to change the application db character set ?
The only workaround that I can think of ,is to create another database with 'WE8ISO8859P1' as the db character set. Populate it with the data you need from your SAP database using either SQL*LOADER or from insert statements generated by SPOOLing out the data using SQL*PLUS

Database link from 10g database to 8i

Is it possible to create a database link from 10g(10.1.0) to talk to a 8i(8.1.7) database?
I'm using a database link between a 9i database to 8i database, and would like to upgrade the 9i database to 10g. I created a link in 10g and kept getting the error message: ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found, but I have an entry for my database in the tnsnames.or on the 10g database server.
Message was edited by:
linghleong

My database version is 8.1.7.0, and I couldn't get to the point to select any data like the situation mentioned in the link.
I also tried to create a db link to a 9i(9.2.0) database, I got the same error message. I must have some issue other than linking from 10g to 8i. Any advice?
Thanks!

To create a database link from oracle to sqlserver with NT authentication

Hi ,
I need to create a database link from oracle 9i to sql server database with windows authentication.I dont have the database username and password instead the access is given to my NT ID and password.So can anyone provide me the information about creating a dblink to sql server with windows authentication.
Thanks

Oracle is attempting to log in to SQL Server using NT authentication.
The Oracle process, however, is running presumably with a local admin account (normal for a Windows service). SQL Server has no idea what this local account is, so it denies the login.
You could change the Oracle service to run as a known user (presumably not as your Windows ID but some other Windows ID you create explicitly for Oracle) and then grant that Windows ID in SQL Server appropriate privileges. That would mean, though, that when you queried tables over the database link, you'd be using that new Windows ID's privileges on SQL Server, not your Windows ID's privileges.
As I've said, though, this is a general architectural limitation for a multi-tier architecture. The end system (SQL Server) generally has no idea who the end user (your Windows ID) is when that user is coming through a middle tier (Oracle). So it cannot apply end-user permissions to connections created by the middle tier.

VTP from server to client mode

Hi,
I have couple switches setup in VTP server mode. All of them have the same VTP revision number, but most of them should be in VTP client mode.
Will switching some of them (but the one I really want to have in VTP server mode) into VTP client mode have negative impact on the network? I do know that if you change a switch (with the highest rev #) from client mode to server mode I could end up with problems. However, in my case it will be switching them from server to client mode with all of them with the same Rev #.
Thanks for the help

Hello,
change the switches in question to VTP transparent mode first, and then to client mode, that will reset the revision and prevent any possible conflicts.
In addition, in case you need to change the root switch as well, in general the VTP server switch should also be the root for your VLANs. You can set the switch as root by configuring it as:
spanning-tree vlan x priority 0
