Sysdba connectivity using OCI

Hi guys,
I have a problem With Oracle sysdba connectivity using OCI.
Can you any one please forward the Source code to connect SYSDBA using OCI.
My server is Oracle 10g
I am using VC++ as interface.
Please respond,
Regards,
kishore

You should confirm that you can connect to the DB with a simple Java class using the url that the code you posted is using.
This will show that the OCI client is installed and executing properly. If you can't connect externally you will need to fix that first.
Is the Oracle client installed on the same machine the JDBC code is running on?

Problem JDBC Connection using OCI Driver on Weblogic Portal on Linux

Hi Team,
I want a JDBC connection using OCI Driver in Weblogic Portal 8.1 sp4 on Linux. When I had tested using JDBC connection using Plain Java Code it is working. Also when I create the OCI Connection Weblogic Connection Pool it is working.
But My Requirement is to create the connection using Java Code in Portal Application
But When I create OCI connection in the code it is throwing NO SUITABLE DRIVER Found.
---------- Code in Plain Java Code ------------ Same code is used in Weblogic Portal Application --------------------------------
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          String url="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@TESTDB";
          Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("user","scott");
     props.put("password","tiger");
          conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url,props);
When I am using the same code in Weblogic Portal and Deployed on Weblogic Portal Server 8.1 SP4 it is throwing following error.
-------------- Exception on Server Log --------------------

Hi Vishnu
Looks like a classloader issue. BEA class loader is very tricky. Any jar added manually in classpath, will end up loading only those classes. Any imports that we have in any of those classes do not get loaded. Anyhow, coming to your point, add classes12.jar inside your portal web project Web-Inf/lib folder and see if that helps. Usually thats where we put all the JARs for 8.1 SPxx applications. If this still breaks, then remove the jar from web-inf/lib folder and add under your portal app App-Inf/lib folder. First try with app-inf/lib folder having this jar. If not then with web-inf/lib. Basically web-inf is specific to that web app only. If you have a different app having this jdbc code, then put under app-inf/lib folder. Make sure that you remove the classes12.jar that you added in classpath either in env variable or in setdomainenv.cmd file.
When weblogic uses native OCI Drivers, it refers to jars at this location: ....\beawlp814\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\10g or 9g. Try using one of these jars and see if that works. Most of the times I used these jars only for oracle specific native drivers.
Word of caution. Try to use Connection Pool and a DataSource created in weblogic console for your jdbc code. This Datasource can still use the Oracle drivers that you want (instead of BEA Weblogic wrapper oci drivers) located in above location. Use JNDI Lookup and get Datasource and then connection. This is more recommended approach with many advantages then using DriverManager approach..

Can't connect using OCI JDBC driver in OC4J 10.1.3.3 standalone

Hi all,
I've recently upgraded my JDev from 10.1.3.2 to 10.1.3.3 and now I'm unable to establish any OCI connections with my local Oracle 10.1.0.4 database. Not even through a connection pool. The strangest thing is that when I test an OCI connection running from JDeveloper it works fine and the JDBC jars and the oci client are exactly the same.
The error is always the same when I execute a test on a connection pool using the OCI driver:
WARNING J2EE DS-00001 Exception occurred testing connection. Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection.
If I just change the driver to the THIN one, the same test works. If I take the same URL from the OCI test and use it in a test class and run it inside JDeveloper, it works also.
I've even downloaded the instant client 10.1.0.5 (which happens to be exactly the same version of the JDBC driver that comes with JDev 10.1.3.3) and tried to use it with no success.
THIN connections are working just fine. The problem happens only when I try to connect via OCI and this problem was not happening in version 10.1.3.2.
Any help?

I found the cause of this problem. It turns out that you must be very careful with the environment variable ORACLE_HOME. On Windows, normally, we don't even set this variable because most applications are able to get it from the system's registry.
Well, it happened that I've edited the script start_oc4j.bat and, for organization reasons, I set the ORACLE_HOME variable with my JDeveloper's home directory (which is the same as my OC4J standalone's). By doing that, I kind of confused the OCI client. Once I removed the "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\JDev" line from the script, everything worked just fine again.
So, always remember: avoid setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME when using Windows and, if you must set it, be sure to do it right.

Eduardo.

my global database name and SID value in mohan
Thanking u

Bathina,
Your problem is in your URL:
String url="jdbc:oracle://oci8:/@mohan";As far as I know, you can't use the forward-slash character ("/"), by itself, as your database login name -- you must supply a "login/password". I don't know why, and if you don't like it, I suggest you create a TAR (Technical Assistance Request) via the MetaLink Web site.
I recall similar questions being asked in this forum -- have you tried searching the forum archives?
Good Luck,
Avi.

How to check the database connection using OCI

I am working on enhhancement of very old application developed using C and OCI. It has a background process which acts as a middleware for interaction of any other front end process with oracle database. Any processes, which needs to interact with database sends a request to background peocess and then it will execute a call to execute the stored procedures for performing requested operation (like select, update, insert) on table and will send the result back to respective process. So this process has to be always running in background and connected to branch database.
If branch database gets restarted or connection gets dropped due to some ad-hoc problem then the background process also has to be restarted manually. Because this process establishes the connection to branch database only once on start up and it does not have the intelligence to reconnect automatically in such scenario.
I am looking forward to build the intelligence in this process to automatically reconnect if connection with branch database is lost. But I am not familer with OCI, and I am not sure if there is any OCI call which can determine if my earlier connection is still available. Can any one please tell me if there is any other way to check the connection other than the execution of dummy query, then check if it gets executed properly and then do the actual query.
Thanks in advance,
Deeapk

Hi,
If you are reworking the application can you not build in the functionality to re-establish a connection if there is a failure? That is, a submission from the application server to the database server detects a failure, etc. and then re-establishes the connection. If you need a more frequent check than during a user-initiated roundtrip, you may be best served by using the "dummy query" technique on some time interval.
From my understanding using HA Event Notification would require a RAC database (plus a multi-threaded application and services correctly configured on the RAC-side).
In the documentation I see this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/oci09adv.htm#sthref1495
"Applications must connect to a RAC instance to enable HA event notification."
In any case, this has the potential to be a bit complicated...

Unable to Connect to Oracle 10gR1 database from JDeveloper 11g using OCI

We are migrating our application from OC4J to Weblogic server. As a part, I am trying to create a database connection in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0 - Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660) to Oracle 10gR1 database. Previously I had Oracle 10g Client installed in the machine. Created a database connection using OCI driver and when I try to test connect, I got "Test Failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I searched through Metalink and forums and one suggestion was to install Oracle 11g Client on the machine where Jdeveloper 11g is installed. I installed 11g R1 client and tried the same test connection using OCI driver. Now I am getting "Test failed: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" error.
The same database connection works good with Thin driver with both Oracle 10g client and 11gR1 client.
Previously I had Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and Oracle 10g Client and I was able to connect to database without any errors.
Could you provide me the steps for this or if I missed any steps?
Steps to Replicate:
For the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 10g Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 11gR1 Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
Note: Tried the same scenarios with Oracle 11gR2 client as well. It was not working at all.
Any ideas and pointers would be great.

1. will my problem get solved after i install oracle 11g client on my machine.Yes, your problem should get solved. The version of the Oracle 11g Client must match the version of the JDev's JDBC drivers. Alternatively you may install an Oracle 11g Client and replace JDev's Oracle JDBC drivers with these from the installed client. Please, read carefully my 1st posting above in this thread.
2. can i patch JDeveloper 11g on my machine to work with 10g client, or can i do the same with 10g client.You might succeed if you replace JDev's built-in JDBC drivers (which are 11g versions) with 10g versions, but I do not recommend you to try that because JDeveloper 11g and ADF 11g may be using some 11g features that do not exist in 10g drivers, so you may have problems.
I also have PLSql developer installed on my machine and it works well.PL/SQL Developer does not use JDBC drivers, so it is not an relevant example in this case.
My generall recommendation is to use Oracle JDBC Thin drivers. Oracle claimed that OCI drivers had better performance, but this was really true about earlier releases. Current Oracle 11g JDBC Thin drivers offer excellent performance and they offer all the features of the OCI versions (which was not true about earlier releases). In my opinion, the most important disadvantage of Oracle JDBC OCI drivers is that most versions have native memory leaks so all the RAM would get consumed after long application execution. The fact that WebLogic Server does not offer Oracle JDBC OCI drivers by default anymore says that Oracle discourages the usage of the OCI driver in favour of Thin driver.

Unable to Connect to Oracle 10gR1 database from JDeveloper 11g using OCI JD

We are migrating our application from OC4J to Weblogic server. As a part, I am trying to create a database connection in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0 - Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660) to Oracle 10gR1 database. Previously I had Oracle 10g Client installed in the machine. Created a database connection using OCI driver and when I try to test connect, I got "Test Failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I searched through Metalink and forums and one suggestion was to install Oracle 11g Client on the machine where Jdeveloper 11g is installed. I installed 11g R1 client and tried the same test connection using OCI driver. Now I am getting "Test failed: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" error.
The same database connection works good with Thin driver with both Oracle 10g client and 11gR1 client.
Previously I had Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and Oracle 10g Client and I was able to connect to database without any errors.
Could you provide me the steps for this or if I missed any steps?
Steps to Replicate:
For the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 10g Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 11gR1 Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
Note: Tried the same scenarios with Oracle 11gR2 client as well. It was not working at all.
Any ideas and pointers would be great.

1. will my problem get solved after i install oracle 11g client on my machine.Yes, your problem should get solved. The version of the Oracle 11g Client must match the version of the JDev's JDBC drivers. Alternatively you may install an Oracle 11g Client and replace JDev's Oracle JDBC drivers with these from the installed client. Please, read carefully my 1st posting above in this thread.
2. can i patch JDeveloper 11g on my machine to work with 10g client, or can i do the same with 10g client.You might succeed if you replace JDev's built-in JDBC drivers (which are 11g versions) with 10g versions, but I do not recommend you to try that because JDeveloper 11g and ADF 11g may be using some 11g features that do not exist in 10g drivers, so you may have problems.
I also have PLSql developer installed on my machine and it works well.PL/SQL Developer does not use JDBC drivers, so it is not an relevant example in this case.

Steps to Connect remote Oracle Server using OCi C in Linux

Hi !
I am trying to connect oracle server through my application using OCI C in linux, it works fine in my oracle server machine.
I want to connect oracle server through my C application from Oracle Client Machine
can anyone help me in this issue ?
regards
Balaji.C

Sounds like you did not specify your database name. Or you database name is hard-coded.
Can you show us the code?
Is your TNSNAMES.ORA set up correctly?
Also, you did not specify any error messages or anything. Are you checking the result codes after any functions?

ORA-12504 error when connecting to Oracle 11G DB using OCI and instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip

Dear Friends,
I am using OCI and instant_client (11.2.0.3.0) in my C++ program (on Windows 7) to connect remotely to 11G database.
While doing a connection using server name as well as servername:port/service_name as connection strings, I am getting error of ORA-12504 TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA.
According to instant client FAQ & white paper at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html, no tnsnames.ora is required for instant client. Then why could I be getting this error?
I ensured that only the instant client directory is in Path environment variable. There was a ODBC driver installed on this same host. Could that be modifying the behavior of instant client?
Kindly guide.
Many thanks in advance for your help and time.
Best Regards,
- ganesh

>>what is the exact connect string you are using?
For connection, I am using the plain hostname on which the DB server is running.
>>are you calling OCIServerAttach before OCISessionBegin?
I am not using OCISessionBegin. For connecting to DB server, I am using the following sequence of OCI calls (in this same order):
1) g_OCIEnvNlsCreate
2) g_OCIHandleAlloc //-- error handle: OCI_HTYPE_ERROR
3) g_OCIHandleAlloc // --- sevice context: OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX
4) Setting driver name and application name for the session:
    OCISession* usersession = 0;
    ret = g_OCIAttrGet(m_pSvcCtx, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, &usersession, NULL,
                             OCI_ATTR_SESSION, m_pErrHdl);
    if (ret == OCI_SUCCESS)
        ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"OCI_DRV", 2,OCI_ATTR_DRIVER_NAME, m_pErrHdl);
        ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"ClientApplication", <ub4>(strlen("DataReconScanning")), OCI_ATTR_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER, m_pErrHdl);
5) g_OCILogon() using the user, password and host name, as below:
g_OCILogon(m_pDbCon, m_pErrHdl, &m_pSvcCtx,
                               (text*)user.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(user.length()),
                               (text*)pass.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(pass.length()),
                               (text*)host.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(host.length()));
Thanks.

Can I use OCI driver to test database connection in JDeveloper9.0.3

When using JDeveloper 3.2.3, I can use oci8 driver to test the databse connection.
Then I want oci8 driver work in JDeveloper9.0.2 or JDeveloper 9.0.3. However, it cannot work.
(Note: but thin driver works fine)
First, I read the help file and setup ORACLE_HOME environment variable and install
OCI client driver ocijdbc9.dll on my compuetr. Then some exception is happening when I test again.
So I want to know, does anyone succeed in testing the connection via oci driver
and how to fix this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Hi !
You MUST use jdbc library supplied with Oracle client ( so classes12.zip from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib ), not with JDeveloper - this one might be incopatible with oci native libraries.
I hope , this helps.

I had the same problem before.
And maybe this is the cure...
Check that you use the jdbc-drivers(classes111.zip) fwr 8.0.4
and not the ones for 8.1.5. I think they use different dll's. In
an 8.1.5 installation there is a file named ocijdbc8.dll and I
think that the one for 8.0.4. uses the one you mentioned...

Issue encountered when Login as sysdba role using Thin Oracle JDBC Driver

Hello all,
we are now considering to use Thin oracle JDBC driver to create database in our project, but we met one issue when we tried to connect to oracle as sysdba role using Thin driver, and it throws java.sql.SQLException: Io Exception: SO Exception was generated, I have found some tips on oracle jdbc website and it says :
How do I connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?
The only way to do this is to use the Properties object when connecting, rather than specifying the username and password as strings. Put the username into the "user" property, and the password into the "password" property. Then, put the mode into the "internal_logon" property. Something like the following:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "scott");
props.put("password", "tiger");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysoper");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
When connecting as SYSDBA or SYSOPER using the Thin driver, the RDBMS must be configured to use a password file. See "Creating and Maintaining a Password File" in the "Oracle Database Administrator's Guide".
So, i did execute orapwd command to create a password file and also set remote_login_passwordfile=execlusive in my initxxx.ora initial parameter file, however, when i tried to connect, it failed.
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But what made me puzzled a lot is if i use OCI driver, it did work great, why??? guys, anybody knows, please give me some tips, thanks in advance.
regards,
Kaixuan @ Shanghai

clarify my question in detail:
Step 1 : create password file using orapwd command
Step 2 : create database instance using oradim command
Step 3 : login using sys as sysdba to startup database, e.g startup nomount pfile='...\initxxx.ora'
Step 4 : create database.
java code showing below:
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx ");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
issue was met here, when i tried to login as sysdba using sys, and in my java code, i use Thin driver, it then thrus exception, but when OCI driver is used, it works great, i don't know why.
that is, when i use "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it works great. but, when i use "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it failed. hopefully, i have clarified my question clearly. thanks.

Sqldeveloper /as sysdba connection

I'm a total newbie in Oracle.
I installed Oracle 11g XE R2.
Also I installed SqlDeveloper 3.2.20.09 version.
I have Java Version 7 Update 25
I generated auto connections, and I have 2 connections. One is: /as sysdba and another: system-XE
I successfully connect to system-XE, but when I try to connect as sysdba in SQLdeveloper (in same time I can connect trough SQL command line) I get this error:

That means you are trying to use thick(OCI) driver and the version of 11gXER2 does not quite match SQLDeveloper 3.2.2.09.(one is 11.2.0.2 one is 11.2.0.3)
I suggest use thin (not OCI/Thick) i.e. do not have tools->preferences->database->advanced->use OCI/Thick driver should be off/not checked.
(If you absolutely need OCI you could install the suitable instant client version) Thin is pure java on the client side, the SQLDeveloper install is all you need on the client side)

"ocijdbc9.dll: Can't find dependent libraries" error using OCI in 902

Trying to use JDBC OCI driver in 9.0.2 OC4J to connect to a 9.2.0.2 DB. Environment set appropriately (per "Data Sources" guide) to use oci jars and dlls in 9.2.0 client install/directory. Why can't it find these dependent libraries and how to I workaround this?
Thanks,
Brian

How are you loading the library? If you're using the System#loadLibrary(String) method, the dll in question has to be in your computer's PATH (ie, somewhere in the folders defined in the PATH system variable). Simply being in the same path as the JVM or your classpath doesn't cut it. Moreover, don't include the extenion when calling loadLibrary. Thus, you'd call System.loadLibrary("HelloNative").
Another option is the System#load(String) method, which expects a fully-qualified path. Thus, if your dll is in C:\Development\Native, you'd have to call System.load("C:\Development\Native\HelloNative.dll") (notice the inclusion of the extension).
Hope this helps,
