Using ODBC without the 8i or 9i Client

Connecting Access.mdb on a windows station to Oracle 8i or 9i using ODBC
Can an oracle ODBC driver be installed programatically on a station without installing the complete 8i or 9i client?
The Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle produces a message stating that the client needs to be installed.
Perhaps there is an automated way of installing the client by running a script or something.
Ideally there would be a method of using one setup program on any station that would install all required elements for this application including the Oracle ODBC driver.
Would InstallShield contain an Oracle ODBC driver that would work on 8i and 9i?

In order to use the Oracle ODBC driver or the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, the Oracle client needs to be installed. You can invoke the Oracle Universal Installer from InstallShield (optionally with a response file), but I'm not aware of a more 'integrated' solution.
If the Oracle client is too large a fottprint, there are third parties (i.e. DataDirect) that would be more than happy to sell you a wire-protocol ODBC driver that can run without the Oracle client.

  • Activating Windows 7 by using KMS Without the Active Directory Domain environment

    Dear,
                 Can we able to activate the Windows 7 O/S Machines by using KMS without the Active Directory Domain environment,As our some of the Computers will not connect with AD domain, we need to setup the speprate KMS
    server for this.
    Thanks
    Balaji K 

    You can point the KMS clients to the KMS host machine by opening an Elevated CMD prompt:
    and running slmgr /skms to point directly to the KMS host.
    You do not need a Domain controller.
    Volume Licensing: Key Management Service (KMS) Client Options:
    /skms <Name[:Port] | : port> [Activation ID] [Activation ID]                                                                                                          
    Set the name and/or the port for the KMS computer this machine will use. IPv6 address must be specified in
    the format [hostname]:port                          /ckms [Activation ID]

    Is it manitory to have an airport antenna or can you use it without the antenna (powermac g5 dual processor 10.4.11)

    On the PowerMac G4 I had it had to be connected, but not sure about the model you have.  My guess would be yes due to shielding in the case, but would rather wait and hear from someone else.

    Sounds like your phone is carrier locked, presumably to a service provider in France.  There is no way to use it with another carrier unless you can contact the original carrier and get them to unlock it.  Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize an unlock - some will unlock some won't.
    As far as using it jailbroken, you will not get support for that here.

  • Using ODBC without running odbc_install.exe (no installation)

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have a VB.NET aplication using Oracle ODBC driver without running/installing odbc_install.exe?
    I want to deploy my application without having to run anything on the client so I guessed that instant client would help but I can't make it work.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I use FCS without the media?

    Can Final Cut Server be used as just an information database without the media the info references? We're using Filemaker right now, but we have FCS. We don't have the budget for a full online system for final cut server (all of the hard drive space required), but we do have some.
    I just want to know if FCS requires having the media attached as well. I'd like our entire office to be able to use FCS at the very least to find information on our media and know how to get to even if the drive that has the media isn't online.

    To answer your last question
    Question:
    Does this mean that FCS requires you to import the media before it will retain any information or before I can delete the media and it retains the info?
    Answer:
    Yes, FCSvr requires you to import an asset before you can apply metadata to it. This can be a 1 second Quicktime movie to conserve on hard diskspace.
    Question:
    If I just wanted to manually type a record for our media could I do that?
    Answer:
    No
    So for the rest of your question, I have for example create scripts that take records from a Filemaker .csv dump and done the following.
    Scenario:
    Filemaker
    Outputs a .csv file with information pertaining to asset, these records have a filename as part of the records, but if your data doesn't have a filename it's ok.
    Final Cut Server (script)
    1. Reads the CSV file and 1 record at a time create assets in Final Cut Server will retaining the metadata from Filemaker.
    This way you can use Final Cut Server to search for files. If you use the original files vs (dummy i second files) you can actually view the proxies to see what the assets are.
    1. Create

  • Using unix without the pretty OS...

    I am running an eMac with 512MB Ram and want to run some memory hungry perl scripts. It seems that the vast majority of my RAM is given over to running the aqua interface - something that I would like the option of it not doing.
    Basically, can I run my eMac as a basic unix box without the interface (which, I presume, will allow me to access considerably more of the RAM than I can at the moment)?
    On a secondary point, I tried doing this from single-user mode but was prevented from doing any editing of files in that mode. BUT I found that my RAM was still very limited i.e. I ran a memory hungry process and it choked at the same point that it choked when I was running the script with the regular aqua business running.
    What's going on, and what are my options (aside from shelling out for more RAM...)?
    Thanks

    Hi Mike,
       It doesn't work consistently on Tiger but you can try logging in with the following username:
    console
    Don't put anything in the password field.
       512MB is cramped but doable for most purposes. If this is the only problem you're having then it may not be worth it to get more RAM but it usually helps to get more.
       It's also possible that you're running into a limit on the number of processes. It's easy to fork processes in Perl and while parallel processing helps up to a point, I've seen many scripters go overboard. Most of the scripts crash when a fork fails but maybe this one handles the error and keeps trying to spawn new ones. That could also cause a noticeable slowdown. While the script is running you could run "ps -auxww" and see if you have more than a hundred processes.

  • How to use Client_Host without the exe file path

    Hi,
    i'm using oracle forms 10g,
    in my application the users can upload any type of files (doc,xls,pdf,avi ,.. etc) and any user can download and open any of these files.
    i implement this using client_host and including the path of winword.exe or AcroRd32.exe ,...
    in many cases i don't know where these exe files are installed in the client side or whether it is installed or not.
    i tried this command : client_host('calc.exe') it works and show me the calc without including the path of this exe file.
    what i want to do is to just call the target file(doc,pdf,avi,..) in the client_host without having to precede this with the exe and path like the calc.exe example.
    if you go to start->run and write for example c:\ahmed.mpeg , windows automatically call the real player or any other video software installed and open the movie.
    can we implement this in oracle forms? and how?

  • Using WebDAV without the WebUI

    We are running iFS 9.0.2 and want to be able to access our Oracle 9iFS repository via WebDAV without using the WebUI.
    There are some references to DavServerConfigurations in Appendix C of the Setup and Admin guide but we need a working example.
    Does anyone have any experience of running WebDAV in this way ?

    I have taken a closer look at this and what we would like to be able to do is run the WebDAV servlet in our own container rather than having to run the OC4J_iFS container.
    We have developed our own OC4J application which accesses the Oracle iFS repository and which already references http.jar etc. where the WebDAV servlet is. We thought it would be possible to set this up and run it within the context of our application. I raised a TAR on this and Oracle responded saying that it was not possible to run the WebDAV servlet outside of the OC4J_iFS container.
    I would be interested in hearing if anyone has had any different experiences.

  • Using iPod without the battery

  • How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

    Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8).  When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from.  No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols.  Is there any way to change this?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

    That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized.  I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro.  Is that feasible? 

  • Using bootcamp without the installation disc.

    My school allows me to download windows XP for free, so I did so and put it on an external hard drive. Is there anyway I can use bootcamp to install XP from the hard drive, or do I need an installation disc?
    Thanks

    Hi stribs,
    BootCamp needs a Windows Installation CD/DVD since it has to boot your Mac from that CD/DVD during installation.
    Ask your school if the downloaded Windowsd package can be used to burn an installation CD.

  • My Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) is VERY slow when I use it without the charger

    When it's not plugged in, my macbook doesn't function in its normal speed. Basically it lags. But when I plug it in to a power source, it works fine.
    I've tried checking hardware but the AHT doesn't work anymore.
    I'm not sure when it actually started but I think this has been happening after I upgraded to Yosemite.
