Using MS Access as Database from Remote Machine

Hi All
I am trying to use MS access as Data base, I have done the following.
1. I have Added the mdb file on a remote machines DSN.(Control Panel->Admin Tools->ODBC->System Tools)
2. In xMII data services->Data Servers, Copied the Default IDBC Server, renamed it and updated the ServerURL as jdbc:inetdae:<IP of Remote machine>:1433?database=<DB Name>&sql7=true.
With these things done, I am not able to get the Data Server Accesible.
Please correct what mistake I have made.
Thanks and Regards
Rupesh

Rupesh,
First Access is not a very good database... I would suggest using MSSQL, MySQL, or some other 'real' database. But I digress...
The only supported way to get the data you want from Access is by... you guessed it... the <b>xMII OLEDB UDS</b>. Sure you could try the JDBC - ODBC bridge, but this seems to be shaky.
Martin - seriously... I'm trying to get the UDSs out to all of you!

Access DB2 database from IRIX machine.

Hi ,
I am using DB2 database ,which is sitting on AIX machine.
And i want to access database from IRIX 6.5 (SGI machine).
I think there is no driver to connect DB2.
If any body knows how to access
Thank you for your help.

Since I've never used DB2, and Irix last ten years ago, I feel fully qualified to answer :-)
Get a JDBC driver. Googling for db2 jdbc driver site:ibm.com gives 3860 hits; remove site:ibm.com if you are interested in third party drivers.
Check if your DB2 installation contains the file db2jcc.jar - that seems to be the "DB2 Universal JDBC Driver", apparently a Type 4 driver (type 4 is a Good Thing). I can't find offhand if the driver is a separate product or comes with DB2.
Check out e.g. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/t0010264.htm

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

WHY can't I access my database from an applet???????????

The security code won't let my applet access its own database (from its own server)..
I'm using getDocumentBase()
to try and tell it that it is my own damn file..
I keep getting :
java.securityAccessControlException: access denied <java.util.PropertyPermission jdbc.drivers write>
...etc.
This applet crap is really starting to piss me off. I can see why they came out with JSP.
All I need to do is access my database, update it, etc. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to do jdbc from applets if you can't even access the database on your own damn server.
If you all don't have a clue, I'm freakin switching to PHP--I'm tired of this crap-I was thinking Java was a damn good language until I hit applets.

The simple answer to your question is: Because of security concerns.
The somewhat longer answer is that directly accessing a database from an applet is generally not a good idea. A lot of security-critical code like DB username/password must be hidden in the applet which potentially can be downloaded (and disassembled) by anyone that hits your webpage. Maybe you do an intranet solution with trusted users but that is not what applets were originally designed for.
The clean way is to make your applet talk to a servlet that talks to your database.
If that is not the way you want to do it, make sure that all client policy files (yes, on the browser machine) contain the permissions that your applet needs.

How to read file from remote machine

Hello,
Hi, i would like to know how to read text file from remote machine using java source code, any code ?
Thanks very much;
Best regards
Kim

On the server, perform the following steps:
Parse the request and determine the file to serve
Open a FileInputStream to the appropriate file
Obtain a reference to the Servlet OutputStream
Pipe the bytes from the file to the output stream
Flush and close the streamYou might want to call HttpServletResponse.setContentType("application/octet") to indicate to the browser that a file download will be occurring. Do so before getting the reference to the Servlet's OutputStream.

<snip>The subject of this forum is Oracle databases. How does your problem relate to that subject?
Two bits of advice:
1) Make sure you ask questions in a forum related to your problem.
2) If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, drop the MS IM Speak and use the language of the forum. In this forum it is English, which is successfully used by many people for whom English is far from their native language.

Can anybody provide me solution for this
I also tried with java.util.Properties class but result is same.

You are running on Windows 9x or Me, right? The darn OS has 300 or so bytes allocated for environment by default.
Try setting the Initial environment to 4096 in the Properties|Memory tab for the batch file. That will get rid of "Out of environment space". The syntax error is another matter; Windows (except NT and derivatives) shells do not allow '=' in an environment variables value. You cannot overcome that. Some software (Sybase for instance) interprets # as = just because of that. Unfortunately, the JVM doesn't take such an approach.
Better, grab copies of Unix utilities for Windows (www.gnu.org) including the wonderful shell 'bash' and write .sh scripts, which are inherently more powerful.

Linked server problem, its works locally but not from remote machine

Hi,
i am using the application NAV and have written the query in the application. am using automation variable to link to the SQL Server.
The problem is that , the query which i have written executes only when i am working on local machine .
I mean when i want to execute the same query from remote machine through my app Dynamics NAV then its not getting executed.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what you are trying to do and what security you are using.
What error did you get?
If you are using windows authentication then take a look at delegation

Tail command to read httpd log from remote machine

hi!
does anyone know how to read the httpd log file using the tail command froma remote machine?
i have a mac using osx sharing the internect connection to other machines. this machine has the http server running on it and i would like to check the httpd log file (from this server) from my computer in the same LAN.
can anyone help please??
G5 2.5ghz dual Mac OS X (10.4.4)

As Ashish rightly said, you need to use ftp/scp.
You can create a shell script on unix machine. Which shall copy the file from Windows machine to Unix machine on particular directory. Then you may need to change permissions of the file.
Once that is done, same shell script can call procedure in oracle.
You can schedule this shell script in Crontab to run at specified time daily, if you the timing of availability of file.

Trying to access 10gr2 database from sqlplus utility but it connects to 11g

Hi All,
I am facing below issue while access 10gr2 database from sqlplus.
I am having two oracle homes on one server one belongs to 11gr2 and another belongs to 10gr2.
I want to access a 10gr2 database through sqlplus utility.but instaed of connecting to 10gr2 it is connecting to 11gr2 after I enter a user name and passowrd.
I have set all the env variables such as oracle_home ,oracle_sid and path with respect to Oracle 10gr2.
Can you please let me kno what I need to do to connect to 10gr2 database and not 11gr2 database through sql plus.
Let me know if I need to give any more details on this.
Best Regards,
Dipti S

Hi Rocky,
I got the resolution.
I made a mistake by creating an oracle instance/service(e.g. fsdmo) when Oracle_home was pointing to 11gR2 Directory.so that service was refering to 11gr2 oracle home.
hence when I was setting oracle_sid(fsdmo) and trying to access database instance from 11g sqlplus utility ,it was directing to 11g and not 10g since oracle service was pointing to 11g.
So now after chnaging the oracle home directory to 11g,I am creating a service and its working fine.
thank you so much for responding.
hope I am clear with my reply.
Best Regards,
Dipti S

Launch exe from remote machine

Hi All,
How can I launch an executable residing in machine A from machine B?
I'm trying web services but no luck.
Am I the wrong track?
Thanks a lot

What does "I'm trying web services but no luck." mean? As I see it, you have two separate things to accomplish here. One is the launchiing of the executable locally. The other is the triggering of that event remotely. Deal with one, then the other. Much simpler. That is, encapsulate the launching in a single method call, then work on calling it remotely. Then your problem is simply "How do I call a method remotely?", and entirely decoupled from details such as "launch exe from remote machine"

Accessing tables from remote machine

I using the following code, to update the record from the emp table. This table is created locally in my machine.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn;
String db = "jdbc:odbc:NewDsn";
String username = "test";
String password = "test";
String tableName = "emp";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(db, username, password);
Statement stmt1 = conn.createStatement();
String update = "update " + tableName +
" set salary=salary+1000 where empid>200";
stmt1.executeUpdate(update);
I want my application to run on two different machine and the update should be made on a single table.
Please help me, how the user from other machine can access this emp table created in my local machine?

I completely agree with RPriya.
jschell, If you think that it is not correct, could you please put some focus on your statementYou mean you want me to explain how database connections work in general and how jdbc drivers would use them?
Do you know how a socket works? Do you know that it requires a client and a server?
How does a socket work if there is no server?
How do database connections work in C, C++, Perl, Ruby, Python, VB, etc, when absolutely none of those use a java type 4 driver?
Do you know how the oracle oci driver work? It is not a type 4 driver.
Do you know how the jdbc-odbc bridge works with oracle? With MS SQL Server? The jdbc-odbc bridge is not a type 4 driver.

Accessing mysql database from oracle using dg4odbc

I've been trying to create a database link from a MySQL database to Oracle using the Oracle dg4odbc gateway. I downloaded and installed DataDirect's ODBC package which includes mysql ODBC library (ddmysql24.so) and a generic ODBC libary (libodbc.so). After creating the DSN in odbc.ini, I tested it and it can connect to the mysql database. Then I created the init{SID}.ora file in hs/admin directory, added dg4odbc lines in the listener.ora, and added lines in tnsnames.ora. Then I tnspinged the new SID with success. Finally, I created the database link. However, when I tried to access the database link using the commands "select * from mdl_user@moodle;", I got the ORA-28500 error like the following:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][20101]You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"mdl_user"' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MOODLE
My mysql database is utf8 by default. Do I have to use latin1?
It seems to me that the dg4odbc translates the sql commands incorrectly (having double quotes around the selected table).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jeffrey

The syntax error occures for example when MySQL isn't running in ANSI mode and thus does not allow double quotes around the objects. DG4ODBC 11.1.0.6 by default always adds double quotes to table/column/view names.
A quick test to check if you hit the double quote issue would be to set the MySQL DB into ANSI mode:
- Open SQL*Plus
- execute:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@moodle;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@moodle(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@moodle(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@moodle(c);
END;
- Now run your select statement
=> if it now works, you can permanently change the MySQL config to be ANSI compliant or you can apply the 11.1.0.7 patchset to DG4ODBC.

Check also that your firewall port is open. If you try connect to Apex port 8080 should be open.
