Using Heterogeneous to connect to Sybase databse

Hello,
Here is my situation, I have two SUN boxes , one for Oracle database and other for Sybase database. I would like to use Sybase database from Oracle using windows ODBC. How do I configure this, do I have to install ODBC on Oracle server too?
Thanks
Syed

In my eyes this does not make much sense, but...
You have 2 SUN boxes and want to connect from an Oracle DB on SUN to Sybase on another SUN box.
In general you have 2 options: GENEIC CONNECTIVITY and Gateway.
The gateway requires a sep. license, whereas the gateway is for free but requires an additional ODBC driver (on Unix; on MS platforms it's delivered for free most of the time...).
The gateway has the advantage, that you can install it on a different machine then the Oracle DB; also on Windows...
HSODBC is for free and ported to a few platforms (like SUN). HSODBC MUST be installed on the same machine like the Oracle DB. So you need an ODBC driver on the SUN machine.
You can get ODBC drivers from OPENLINK or Data Direct, but they require also a license. The other option is to use the EASYSOFT ODBC/ODBC bridge. Easysoft offers an splitted solution: you connect with their SUN based part to the Windows machine and there you call the windows based ODBC driver.
But this solution is also not for free.
So it's a simple calculation -> all require a licence you must purchse. In many cases the Gateway is the cheaper solution and if you later on plan to use distributed transaction the gateway is the only choice....

Connection to Sybase using Connection profile

Hello,
I've been trying to configure a connection profile to
directly connect to a sybase database, but I have issues with the
drivers. At firt I was told that the JDBC drivers jconn3.jar
weren't found, so I downloaded the ones from Sybase :
http://www.sybase.com/products/allproductsa-z/softwaredeveloperkit/jconnect
In the Edit driver definition windows I've deleted the
jconn3.jar and replaced it with the jconnect.zip I just download.
Then I've entered all the details concerning my database, but when
I Test the connection, I get this message :
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Any idea ? Any solutions ?
TIA.

Moreover, I try to create an application module with the view object which has an entity object. This entity object is connect to a table of sybase database. When I try to test this application module and enter the login id and password of the database server. It pop up and error "(oracle.jbo.NotConnectedException) JBO-25200: Application module is not connected to a database". In fact, I use ODBC to connect the sybase server. However, there is no "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" for me to select in the Connection Type of "Oracle Business Component Browser - Connect" wizard. What should I do? Thank you.

How to use JDBC to connect Oracle databse

Hi
I try to connect the oracle databse by using JDBC. But I not sure whether is it correct or not because I learnt from the documentation provided by WWW.JAVA.SUN.
I have create a ODBC DSN file call TKS username/password : tem/manager
then I download the source code and enhance a bit as following :
import java.sql.*;
public class CreateCoffees
public static void main(String args[])
     String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:tem/manager@(

String createString;
createString = "create table COFFEES " +
"(COF_NAME VARCHAR(32), " +

"TOTAL INTEGER)";
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e)
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());

stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
stmt.close();
con.close();
     catch(SQLException ex)
     { System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
After that I saved the file as CreateCoffees.java and compiled it

Problem connecting to Sybase Server using Crystal XI-Version-11.0.0.1994

Dear All,
I have Crystal Reports XI (Version-11.0.0.1994) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5 installed in my machine.
Now Im trying to connect to Sybase Server As , File > Log On or Off Server > Create New Connection > More Data Sources > Sybase. But am not Able to. It takes me to the installation wizard and ends with "No items found" error message.
How ever Im able to create an ODBC Connection to the sybase server. But I want to create a connection using Sybase Native Driver. Could you anyone please throw some light on this
Thanks

Hello,
Go into Add/Remove Programs and Change and then select Custom install and expand the database drivers. Verify you have selected Sybase, if not select it and then OK.
If it's there then make sure the client is installed and path to the Sybase Client is in the PATH statement. Sorry I don't recall what it should be but you should see Sybase there somewhere. If not add it, typically it also has a \bin folder.
Thank you
Don

Oracle Gateway Not Connecting to Sybase database

Hi,
I'm trying to setup an oracle gateway to connect to Sybase database. I followed in details the instructions but still can connect successfully. The Oracle database is in RAC environment. Below are the steps I took:
The oracle gateway and oracle database are in the same server while Sybase is on a separate unix box.
1. create an initdg4sybs.ora file

Connecting to sybase

Hi,
Could someone help me with this problem.
I am trying to copy data from sybase to oracle.
The table structures(contains long datatype) for the two db are similar.
But when i try using the copy command in sqlplus, i get the error message:end of communication file end channel.
I am using heterogenous service to connect to sybase.I already created a dblink and tested it, works fine.
I added the tnsname: amos_sql and tried to connect straight to sybase using sqlplus:
conn username/password@amos_sql but it also had the same error : end of communication....
What is wrong,please help.
Thanks.

<<the Copy command doesn't support long columns>>
It does. Please check the following link for details.

How to host one application using different database connection on OAS?

Hi,
Jdeveloper - 10.1.3.4
Application - ADF/BC
Oracle Application Server - 10.1.3
Above our the specifications for our application,
We have two database schemas different for development and production therfore we have different databse connections for the two,
we have one application which is in production and enhacements on the same application are done by the development team.
Since we have two different schemas for developement and prduction we use different database connections for the application on development and production.
The problem is our Model and View Controller project are same, only the database connection file changes that's why we are able to host only on application at a time on our OAS. This is probably because the URL generated by OAS for developemnt and prodyction application is same.
Is there a way we can host two instances of the same application with two different database connections on the a single OAS.
Thanks & Regards,
Raksha

Use different deployment profiles each with a different context root for your application?

Run a java class in Oracle db to connect to Sybase

Hi All, I'm looking for a way to connect to Sybase database at no-license-cost (meaning Oracle Gateway or similar 3rd party products), first coming idea was JDBC, I know I can run a java class in Oracle, the simple idea is to write a java class which connects to Sybase via JDBC thin driver and return the resultset of given query in a java class, the resultset will be presented in Oracle Apex framework. Does anyone know if this can be done or not, and how? Any howto articles are welcomed.
Henry

Henry:
To connect to Sysbase or MsSQL Server you could use jTDS open source driver.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/
upload above driver (jar file) using loadjava, and grants the port connection using dbms_java.grant_permission procedure.
Because jTDS is pure java driver (mode 4) is possible to use directly inside the RDBMS.
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: Latest jtds driver is compiled against 1.6 sources, but oldest version will work with 1.5 for 11g.

Corrupted Chinese characters shown while connecting to Sybase

SQL Developer experts,
While I connect to Sybase DB 11 via SQL developer 2.1.1 with 'jtds-1.2.5' JDBC driver, but I see corrupted Chinese characters from SQL developer, the Sybase DB is using 'iso_1' charset. Can anyone advise me how to solve the problem ? Any configuratioin should I do for the JDBC connection string and where to configure it ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you browse your Sybase connection do you see the corrupt characters in the table name, column name the data or both.
Is the corrupt character a ? or an upsidedown ?
You say that you are using 'iso_1' charset in Sybase. Is this not just for western european languages ? in which case I wouldnt expect it to manage chinese characters.
When you log your Sybase instance using Sybase Central, do you see the correct characters?
Just to note I can browse I chinese (GBK) Sybase database where the tablenames, columnnames and data are in chinese.
Also that we currently only support jtds-1.2.jar .

Trying to connect to Sybase with Java jdbc

Hoping someone can help me to connect to Sybase database (version is Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.3). I am using a technique I read that worked with Access and adapting by some examples for Syabase I found on the web but keep getting errors. Below is my code with some of the examples Ive been using commented out.
I have created a DSN on my Windows Xp o/s named GPTS_SYBASE via ODBC Use DSN set-up wizard, driver is Sybase ASE ODBC Driver.
import java.sql.*;
public class DBConn {
public DBConn(){
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver.class.getname()");
//Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver");
String sourceURL = "jdbc.odbc.GPTS_SYBASE";
//String sourceURL = "jdbc.sybase.Tds:GPTSPSYB1:5000/gpts";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(sourceURL, "gptsdbo", "gptsdbo");
//Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(sourceURL);
System.out.println("Success");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Got an excpetion! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
Error message from this code is
Got an excpetion!
com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver

Have you read the Sybase docs or the Java JDBC docs? ODBC != JDBC. They sound the same but are totally different. The DSN is totally irrelevant for type 4 JDBC drivers.
It would help to actually print the stack trace by changing your code to:
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Got an excpetion! ");
e.printStackTrace();
}Also, you're mixing the wrong class name with the URL. You need "com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver" and, in your case jdbc:sybase:Tds:GPTSPSYB1:5000/gpts - note the change to colons, not periods! - when in doubt read the docs!

10g Form Developer Quits on compiling Forms connected to Sybase tables.

Dear Experts,
We have configured the connectivity for Sybase database with our oracle 9i database. using Hetero Geneous Service i.e using System_dsn ..etc.
On this Sybase connectivity 6i Forms are compiling and running successfully But with 10g Forms while compling it just close the 10g form developer.
For example....!
In 6i forms On Button Press trigger below insert command works perfectly.
But In 10g forms it say nothing and Just Quit.
begin
insert into *"sybase_table"@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK*
("colum1","colum2")
values
('value1','value2');
commit;
end;
Please help to resolve this problem.
Thanks
Eidy

Hello,
1.) does it with with the forms compiler (frmcmp)?
2.) did you try creating a synonym for your object:
create synonym my_syn for sybase_table@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK;and use this synonym?
3.) Did you try it with the latest patchsets if you didn't apply them (10.1.2.3 for forms)?
4.) Did you try it with another database version (9i reached sustaining support btw. so you might try it with e.g. 10.2)?
5.) If everything fails you can put your logic in a database procedure and use that?
cheers

Problem connecting to Sybase

I tried to connect to Sybase as below in Unix environment as below
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sybase://INFUNDREF:7100/arch_db;TDS=7.0");
I get an ERROR message as below
An exception occurred.java.sql.SQLException: Unknown server host name 'INFUNDREF'.
The INFUNDREF is a valid database(Sybase) server name, but still I get this error.
Can any one please help?

Could please also tell where to inser the ip address in the codeIs it really hard to think logically?

Error connecting to Sybase database through WSAD
