SQL*Plus Release 9.2.0.1 remote connection to 10g EX

Greetings,
I am trying to access my XE database from a linux machine using SQLplus 9.2.0.1. I do the following:
sqlplus /nolog
sql>connect username/[email protected]:XEERROR:
ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
If I leave out the "XE" I get the following error:
sql>connect username/[email protected]:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect
descriptor
There seems to be nothing wrong with my database (tnsping works, etc).
One of the enviromental variables in linux is "ORACLE_SID=CLASS1"
I might have a syntax error in the connect function.
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me. I viciously search the forum before posting this and could not get it to work.
Andrey.

Andrey,
Is there a reason why you are using a colon between the <hostname>.<domain> and XE? If you use a period instead of a colon and define the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file as follows:
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = <hostname>.<domain>.XE
You should be able to use a similar TNS alias but the colon will trigger an error. If you define your TNS alias as <hostname><domain>:XE and do not define the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file, then you should be able to connect from the command-line but not from within the SQL*Plus environment. For example, using this tnsnames.ora entry:
hostname.domain:XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname.domain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = XE)))
You can connect running this at the command line:
[oracle@s1 admin]$ sqlplus plsql/[email protected]:XE

However, you will get the following running:

SQL> conn plsql/[email protected]:XE
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Since the error will not occur if you define a default domain, it appears that changing the colon to a period may be your best solution.

SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.0 startup behaviour (glogin and login)

Hi,
I'm working in a unix environment where I have a lot of sql scripts to run using different DB users but only one OS user.
I notice that in this version of SQL*Plus something was change regarding glogin and login scripts: they are executed also after a successful connect. There is no warning in the documentation to NOT use CONNECT in these scripts.
What happens is recurrent execution of the same login script if there is a CONNECT command in it up to 20 time (the limit of recurrence in SQL*Plus). The only workaround I found is to put SET SQLPLUSCOMPATIBILITY to a prior version in the same login file before the CONNECT command.
Has anyone a better idea ?
Thank you.

There is no warning in the documentation to NOT use CONNECT in these scripts.the change is documented
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12015.htm
When you run a CONNECT command, the site profile, glogin.sql, and the user profile, login.sql, are executed.
I understand your problem. The best would be to use a valid login and glogin script. I do not recommend big modification in glogin.
Some tools, like OEMGC, particulary hates aggressive staff in glogin.sql, for example ALTER SESSION, etc...
It is not recommended to do a "SET TERMOUT OFF" or a "WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE" or any DML/DDL in your glogin, because it will irreversibily affect some scripts.
The best I can rate you : remove your fancy staff from glogin.sql. If it is about the sql prompt, use 10g feature, like
set SQLP _USER@""_CONNECT_IDENTIFIER>much better than selecting from global name!!!

Can I use SQL *Plus 11.1.0.7.0 to connect Oracle Express 10g

Hi guys:
I download "Oracle 11g ODAC *11.1.0.7.20* with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio", trying to use SQL *plus to see if configuration is alright.
But after entering account/pwd, I got a error:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
What is wrong with my environment?
Thanks,

Hi EdStevens,
Following the instructions in previous post, I can connect with SQL plus (the database is on the same box* as your sqlplus client); I just enter sqlplus in windows console.
In addition, i am still curious about how SQL plus connect to a remote* box. Could you shed more light on that?SQLPlus connects to a remote db the same way any other app does. After all, sqlplus is just another client app.
It's all in the connect string. So say, at a command prompt you enter
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@mydbso in the above example, 'scott' is the user, 'tiger' is the password, and 'mydb' is the tns service name. Of course, the OS passes all that to sqlplus as a command line parameter. Internally, sqlplus makes a call to the tns layer and passes it the connect information it has. TNS will take a look at the tnsnames.ora file and find an entry for 'mydb', and from there it will get the name or ip address of the host server, a port number, and a service name. That information will be passed on down the network stack for routing. (If a name was provided instead of an ip address, the OS network stack will use whatever means are at its disposal - a hosts file, a dns lookup, or whatever, to get an ip address). The request will arrive at the specified host and placed on the specified port. If everything was configured correctly, there will be an oracle listener process monitoring that port. It will pick up the request and see if it recognizes the service name. If it does, it will spawn a user server process on a different port to complete the connection, then get out of the way and continue listening for more requests.
This is how it happens most of the time. There are a lot of other variants, but that's the gist of it.
More information can be found in the fine documentation at tahiti.oracle.com.

Hi,
>>Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1026].
Your sql server is not listening on default port 1433 but on 1026.When you connect to instance like hostname\instancename you should specify post no also.
like hostname\instancename ,1026
Can you try this.Makes sure TCP/IP and named pipes protocol is enabled

Remote connect to 10G database

Dear,
Hwo can i remote connect 10g database use sqlplus? for example I have a server Ip address is 123.123.0.1 with database name fin. What should i type on host string on remote sqlplus client?
Rg

Assuming you're using TCP/IP protocol and your Client is 10g, you could try using easy connect naming method :
sqlplus <username>/<password>@<host name or IP address>:<port number>/<SID>
for example
sqlplus scott/[email protected]:1521/fin
See http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/naming.htm#ABC524382SRI12

SQL*Plus sysdba remote connection

Any thoughts? Apparently I'm making some sort of syntax error logging in but I don't know what it is? :) Thanks.

HI,
can you please try it like first entrying into the sqlplus and then enter the username and password..
Also it should be sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"

Making connection to Oracle 9i via SQL Plus - Mark

Hi,
I am unable to connect to oracle 9i via dos prompt or SQL Plus.
I installed the satabase on windows.
The SID is obiwan. Please help, already browsed similar topics and its not happening.
Thanks in advance.

The Listener is the process that is listening for incoming remote connections to the DB(s).
Database and Listener have Windows services, and services have to be started. Also, from DOS prompt you can do :
C:\> lsnrctl stat
to see if the Listener is active : the result should be the list of active DB(s).
To connect locally to the DB do the following :
C:\> set ORACLE_SID=obiwan
C:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
The result should be something like SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Dom Apr 10 16:58:32 2005

SQL> then it means that the DB is not up. In this case try :
SQL> startup
That way you are connected as sysdba, you can startup and shutdown the DB, create users, and so on. Do not use this connection to create objects (tables, indexes and so on) :
create an user, using the command "create user" (See [url http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/toc.htm]Sql documentation), and connect as that user, for example
SQL> conn scott/tiger
or, at DOS prompt
C:\> sqlplus scott/tiger
If you create a TNS alias, as I said before, you can use that as connection string from DOS prompt
C:\> sqlplus scott/tiger@<TNS alias>
or using SqlPlus in the Oracle menu.

Checking Module to Prevent SQL Plus usage on Database

I have a question regarding logon triggers checking against SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE'). I created a logon trigger that looks for SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE') = 'SQLPLUS.EXE'
and if it matches then it only allows specified users to log in to the database. This code works but I am confused as to why when I check SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE') after I login in
shows SQL*Plus which clearly does not match my IF statement in my logon trigger.
Second issue. If I rename sqlplus.exe to jeff.exe and run it I am abled to log in to the database as a non DBA user. But the module still shows as SQL*Plus. Why is this?

The idea that Oracle might perhaps set module to SQLPLUS.EXE on executable start, and then re set from SQLPLUS.EXE to SQL*Plus after connect, or in glogin.sql, to ensure it is consistent across all operating system never crossed my mind.
You might want to refer to Support Note "SQL*Plus Session/Module is Not Showing in V$SESSION" [ID 1312340.1] to see whether anything in there helps. I'm pretty sure http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm#i2698573 doesn't help much, though.
I'd certainly be raising it with Support as a potential security challenge, to get that potential hole closed.
Edited by: Hans Forbrich on Mar 7, 2012 2:23 PM
I wonder whether Oracle put that capability in there - if an untained SQLPLUS.EXE, it tells you that it is SQLPLUS.EXE, but if renamed it tells you 'SQL*Plus'? Specuklation, but it is one thing I might do to subtly raise the flag. Best bet - ask Support.

Oracle10g Developer Suite - Application Development - SQL Plus Login Info

I have installed Oracle10g Developer Suite and when I am trying to login into the sql*plus environment the username scott with the passcode tiger is not working. I have Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 as the database.
Can anyone help me in setting up the username and password to login into Sql*plus Release 10.1.0.4.2

It sounds like you may be new to Oracle and its products. I would recommend doing some reading.
Oracle 9.2 Net Services Admin Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96580/toc.htm
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_06/doc/dl/core/B16012_03/toc.htm
You create the "login" information when you install the database. If you are not the person who performed the installation, you will need to contact them or install it again. Also, be aware that the SCOTT schema is disabled by default in newer database versions for security reasons.
The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files can be found in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. This is the same for all Oracle products that use Sql-Net for database connections. You can also use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a pre-existing tnsnames.ora file (see previously mentioned documents).
The tnsnames.ora entry will be unique to your database and its listener however here is an example:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = someServer.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)

I have got a 64 Bit Windows OS and an Oracle 11.
With 32 Bit Applications ( Crystal Reports) I can not run SQL NET Thick, SQL NET Thin and JDBC.
Oracle 32 Bit Installation is Missing.
Oracles "Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" will not do it.

What else to use ?
Thank You

Did you unzip the ic sqlplus .zip (the one listed) in the same dir as ic basic?
After dezipping waht than ?
No installer, nothing ...That's the beauty of Instant Client, just unzip or move a few files, set PATH if needed, and you have client libraries all "installed" and ready.

Dear Damorgan,
     >>your version number to three decimal places
     My Oracle DB Version i have already stated in my previous post is 10.2.0.1.0
Actually my problem is to get the sql files name we run in sqlplus enviornment with @ symbol. like
i have created one sql file in c drive as
"C:\Createtable.sql"
afterwords i have connected to sqlplus as
sql> conn scott/tiger
sql>@c:\createtable.sql
Now i want some query to get the name of the file which is run.
In actual my problem is as
i have suppose 10 or more SQL files in some folder ( sql1.sql, sql2.sql, sql3.sql ....).
i created one file to call all the 10 sql files (main.sql)
i have also one track_table which will keep track that which sql file is runned.
I want some automated script which will insert the record in that track_table....... for that i need the name of sql file which is runned.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks & Regards
Singh

BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :COUNTER_PPAL FROM TEMP_TABLE
END;
EXIT :COUNTER_PPAL
The error I am getting is

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.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,
Have two different oracle client on same drive

I have tried,

Run sqlpus.exe from particular home then also got same error..
So , Please anyone can have some idea regarding the same ?

Is there any other error in error.log file?
What do you run in that (ms_script) script?
Have you used both sqlplus?
