Which ODBC driver for Personal Oracle8?

I'm using Personal Oracle8 and trying to connect via ODBC from a
Java program using JDBC. I can connect to MS Access 7 via ODBC
but I cannot connect to Personal Oracle8 using the delivered
ODBC 8 driver (8.0.4.0). Looking through the technet product
listing, the other ODBC 8 drivers only work with NT. I'm using a
laptop with Windows98. I'm stumped. What should I use and where
do I download it from please?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Are you connecting via a JDBC-ODBC bridge or just using the
native JDBC driver? The ODBC drivers (or JDBC drivers for that
matter) don't care if they run on WIndows 9x or NT. The problem
here might be that you are using Personal Oracle. This version is
not intended to be remotely connected to (i.e. from a remote
machine) -- it is only intended for bequeath connections (i.e.
processes local to the RDBMS). You CAN start a listener on the PO
RDBMS (it isn't running by default), although that really isn't
what it is intended to do (i.e. be a server). Try using the
workgroup or enterprise server instead.
The ODBC (and JDBC drivers) will need a listener running to
connect remotely (which is probably the source of your trouble).

Which ODBC driver to choose for a multi version , multi home installation

I have a situation where I need to rollout a piece of software which connects to an Oracle 64 bit database. The client group that I need to rollout to includes a combination of Oracle8, Oracle 9 and Oracle 10. Some installations have dual 8/9 Homes and I am sure that there are other combinations.
The software connects through either a normal oracle connection or can connect through ODBC. However, the normal connection software will not connect through Oracle below Oracle 9, So I am left with an ODBC driver. I am using the microsoft driver currently - it is very slow, but it is at least already installed on all the user pc's. However I believe that it does not work with dual homes.
Is there an Oracle driver that would meet our needs?, i.e allow connections from version 8 to 10 with any combination of homes.

You're right that the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle doesn't support multiple Oracle Homes. It also isn't updated regularly, so it doesn't support a lot of functionality that was added in Oracle 9 or 10.
Exactly what versions of Oracle does "Oracle8" comprise. There is a world of difference between having some 8.1.7 databases still in prod and having some ancient 8.0.4 databases around. Depending on the "Oracle8" variants in the world, you should be able to use either the 8.1.7.x or 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver should work for you. You'll need to install an appropriate Oracle Home for that driver (i.e. the machine will have to have an 8.1.7 Oracle Home if you're going to use the 8.1.7.x Oracle ODBC driver, it'll need a 9.2 Oracle Home if you're going to use the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver). Since 8.1.7 has been desupported, I'm hopeful that you can use the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver since Oracle 9.2 will at least be supported a few more months.

Which ODBC driver was certified for Informix/AIX?

Which ODBC driver was certified for generic connectivity on AIX to Informix? We tried to use the IBM/Informix ODBC driver but there are incompatible linker problems between it and the Oracle DBMS. We need to find an ODBC driver that does work. I know that the manual says that Oracle does not recommend any particular driver, nevertheless, it must have tested with at least one. Which one?

Kirk,
We test Generic Connectivity using our own ODBC drivers but these are not commercially available products.

ODBC Driver for Rdb / OUI Response file

I want to make a 'silent' install for the new ODBC driver for
Rdb v3.0.1.3, which uses the Oracle Universal Installer, but the
download does not include a response file template. Not knowing
anything about internal names etc., I cannot create one from
scratch.
Does anyone have such a template or a response file they have
already created?
thanks

Oracle 8i/9i ODBC driver for ARM-Linux

I may need an ODBC driver for Oracle
for the arm-linux platform in the near
future. Does anyone know if such a thing
exists and where to get it?
Michael

Oracle doesn't produce such a beast. The main problem in doing so is that Microsoft provides a lot of the infrastructure for ODBC on Windows only. In order to use ODBC on another platform, you have to port that infrastructure, which Oracle isn't likely to do.
You might try Merant or <http://www.unixodbc.com>, both of which provide third-party drivers that might be appropriate for you.

ODBC driver for Win Server 2008 64-bit.

I need help with installing the ODBC driver for Win 2008 64-bit. I'm not really familiar with Oracle products but anyway I was asked to install the driver. I downloaded Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.7.20 which includes the Oracle ODBC Driver 11.1.0.7.0 from this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html. I only needed the ODBC driver so that's what I selected during installation (plus one other required component). The installation was successful but when I go into ODBC admin to add a new data source I don't see the Oracle driver. I probably downloaded the wrong software. Can someone point me to the right direction? Thanks.

I need to install the developer suite first in order to get tnsnames and sql plusThat's wrong, you need to install the correct client:

Note: If you have Windows 2008 R2, you need patchset 10.2.0.5, which is only available from MOS/metalink.

Result Sets with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle

Howdy all.
I have an Oracle database that I have migrated from MSSQL2K. My front end is mostly VB, and I have many (hundreds) DLL's that use ADO to access the database and execute stored procedures in the database. I cannot seem to get result sets from the Oracle procedures. I have tried passing a SYS_REFCURSOR as an IN OUT parameter, and I have tried returning a SYS_REFCURSOR in a function. The Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle does not seem to handle the ref cursors. If I use the Oracle ODBC driver, then ref cursors are handled sort of magically. Just like the result sets are in MSSQL with the SQL Server ODBC Driver.
The question that I would like to pose to anybody willing to answer is this: Is there any way to use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle without changing the way I do the database access (using ADO connection/command/recordset objects)? I need the same DLL's to work on top of both MSSQL and Oracle.
I know that what I want to do is possible using the Oracle ODBC driver, but this will take some major changes to some of my DB components. I am trying to stay away from this, but it looks like I am going to have to go that route - that is unless somebody wows me with a good answer to this post.

As you are using Microsoft driver which works in XP and does not on Win 2003 you should post this on microsoft forum.

Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb 2.10.11.00 on Windows 2008 64-bit

Hello,
Our application runs on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and connects to RDB databases on Alpha Open/VMS via Oracle ODBC Driver fro Rdb release 2.10.11.00.
We are migrating to Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment.
We tested both recent Rdb ODBC driver releases (3.3.0.0 and 3.3.1.0) but we are getting errors intermittently when the application loads data from certain tables. Trace logs show no errors which could indicate the origin of the issue.
We want to use the old (2.10.11.00) release but it cannot be installed only on the Win 2008 32-bit version.
Can anyone suggest how to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb release 2.10.11.00 on a Windows 2008 64-bit Server?
Thanks in advance,
Momir

Oracle ODBC driver for Linux (C Language)

Dear Guys,
I am writing small code in C language which will connects Oracle to insert/delete and update data in oracle database. Despite of searching I don't find ODBC driver to connect to Oracle database in Linux platform through C language code. Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?
Thanks in advance

Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?Never seen an ODBC driver for Oracle on Linux. Perl uses its own abstraction interface. PHP uses its own abstraction interface. Ditto for Java. (keep in mind that ODBC is a Microsoft invention)
And the OCI is not that more complex to use than ODBC. In fact, OCI is a lot more powerful. And the Oracle® Call Interface Programmer's Guide has numerous source code examples you can essentially copy and paste and modify for your needs. See Appendix B. Demonstration Programs.
The resulting code is also a lot more portable - relying directly on an OCI client driver, instead of an ODBC driver that runs on top of an OCI driver.

Java.sql.SQLException[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]

I have just installed Oracle8i and i m trying to connect a project to d database using ODBC. I gave

can ne one help me out plz???

hi
dbgen is your project name? it should be the dsn name that has to be mentioned. Go to control panel->administrative tools>data sources and add the type of driver required.
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
public class TestThinDSApp {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException,
      SQLException {
    // These settings are typically configured in JNDI
    // so they a implementation specific
    OracleDataSource ds = new OracleDataSource();
    ds.setDriverType("thin");
    ds.setServerName("dssw2k01");
    ds.setPortNumber(1521);
    ds.setDatabaseName("orcl"); // sid
    ds.setUser("scott");
    ds.setPassword("tiger");
    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rset = stmt
        .executeQuery("select 'Hello Thin driver data source tester '||"
            + "initcap(USER)||'!' result from dual");
    if (rset.next())
      System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
    rset.close();
    stmt.close();
    conn.close();
}Hope this helps to some extent..

Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax

Hi,
This is Sathish, I am trying to create a report and retrieve data through stored procedure using ODBC Connection. When connecting to the Stored Procedure it is showing Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax error or access violation' Error.
CRXI R2, Oracle 9i.
What do i do to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sathish

Hi Satish
It could be an issue with the driver.
You can try with the OLEDB n Oracle native connection to test if the issue persists.
Also you can refer to the [Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e&overridelayout=true]
