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.

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.

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux problem

Hello! I've RedHat Linux 6 Update 1 x64 on VMware Player and MS SQL Server on real machine. My application "servernew" on RedHat. All right, but when i try connect my SQL Server:
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof(buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:

How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

Which Hard Drive Is Appropriate for FCP

Hi Everyone.
I was hoping for a little help. I am in the process of building a 17" Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz computer off Apple's website, mainly for video editing using Final Cut Pro 5. I am upgrading to the highest RAM and my main concern comes when deciding the hard drive. I would have initially choosen the 200 GB for the high capacity that video files take up, but that drive has 4200 RPM. This compares to the 100 GB @ 7200 RPM and the 160 GB @ 5400 RPM. I was wondering what anyone would do in this situation. I am considering the 160 GB @ 5400 RPM to compromise capacity and performance. Do you think that a drive at 5400 RPM in a Macbook Pro could run FCP without any hassles? I do plan on getting a 2TB Raid 0 external drive to store the mass amounts of video. I appreciate any help that could make my decision a smart and easier one. Also, does anyone know how much space it would take to install just Final Cut Pro without the other applications that are included in the Studio package? Thanks again
Justin

You shouldn't be editing from media on an your OS drive anyway. It works sometimes, but not always and planning your workflow around that idea is not the best way to go... A portable SATA (with an eSATA express PC card) or a small FW drive is safer.

How does disk utility decide which optical drive to use for burn?

This is a somewhat daft question and purely out of interest.
How does disk utility decide which optical drive bay to open for burning?
I have two drives in a MacPro and both have the same capabilities (DVD-RW). Why does it sometimes open the lower one, and sometimes the top one?

Grant Bennet-Alder wrote:
The estimate is based on how long it already took to do how many blocks, and how many blocks are left to do. If you told it to overwrite 35 times, it will be a long, long time before it completes.
The estimate is made grossly large by the presence of Bad Blocks that need to be Read during the test (not the case with Erase and Write Zeroes).
Each Block is written with some redundancy bits, so that small errors can be corrected on reading. A Bad Block causes the drive to re-read. and re-read, and re-read, in hopes of getting correctable data the next time. This should NOT be an issue in writing. But if the drive stops responding (which can and does happen with a bad drive) the Erase function will just sit there, thinking it is making progress, and stretching out the time.
Thanks, Grant.
If I read your reply correctly, Erase and Zero Out free space shouldn't elongate the process, because there's no read occurring.
The drive will not be Mounted while Disk Utility works on it, so it will not be on the Desktop. But ask Apple System Profiler \[ About this Mac > More Info > Serial ATA ] if the drive is still THERE . If it cannot be seen, you have your answer -- the drive dropped out of sight while being tested -- Bad Drive.
Well, now I am confused. It's a FW800 drive. It's on the Desktop. And it appears under FireWire in System Profiler. AND Disk Utility shows a mount point. But the Unmount and Eject buttons are grayed out.
Will the drive be mounted if it fails to respond to Disk Utility? That doesn't seem to make sense.
How do I determine its status? It appears to be stuck at "1 day, 5 hours" but it'll take an hour for that to change. I think it's been that long since I first noticed the time.

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).

ODBC Driver - Save Password for datasource

Is there a way to save the password in a report so it is not required to be entered every time the report is opened?
We have two ODBC drivers for our report. The one for MySQL saves the password in the ODBC DSN config. The second is a DataDirect driver for Oracle. I have not found a way to save the password in either the ODBC Admin for this, or in Crystal Reports.

As Ido suggested....
CR will not keep passwords, it's not our role and would be a major security issue if we did. Anyone could get a report and log into your system.
If they don't know your reports stay safe....
Thank you

Is the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.5.0 certified for Windows 7 (32bit)

For this question my client needs a reliable answer when their global IT migrates all Windows clients to Win7.
Now, Support Note 1061272.1 says Oracle Client 10.2.0.5.0 IS certfified on Win7 32bit.
But, Support Note ID 66403.1 says Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.5.0 is NOT certified on Win7.
Does anyone one know, what counts?
Is (A) Note 1061272.1 right because ODBC is part of the client and note 66403.1 is simply outdated or inaccurate, or
is (B) note 66403.1 correct, because the ODBC driver is certified seperately?
Thanks for suggestions (or better: statements from Oracle), otherwise I have to open an SR.
Kai

10205 is certified on Win7, 66403.1 will be corrected.

Problem with oracle rdb + vb6 + new odbc driver 3.x

dear all
i have a problem with the new odbc-driver 3.x for oracle rdb and vb6
connection to the database and the query are ok, there are not errors,
but the resultset is not right, because the fieldnames are allways called coloum1, coloum2,... anstead of the original fieldnames.
further the values of the fields are wrong, there allways appears onle the first sign of then value the should be (result "A" instead of "Andy",... )
thanks for help

my platform is: Windows 2003 server R2 Enterprise x64 Edition Service Pack 2

In C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
If I double-click on C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and "select a driver for which I want to setup a datasource" I can see many driver ODBC and if I try to add the "Oracle ODBC for Oracle" I get this error:
The setup routines for the "Oracle ODBC for Oracle" ODBC driver could not be load due the system error code 193.

Certified for J2EE (TM)

Hello,
Which driver is certified for J2EE(TM)? I can see on the Sun site that Oracle should have such driver but I can't find it.
Volker

SCJP = Sun Cert. Java Programmer???
I can't compare it's level to other exams as I only did this one.
But my opinion is: It's not difficult.
I just went through the book "Complete Java2 Certification Study Guide" (only the JCP exam's chapters), made some of the test exams and took the real one without a problem.
The exam's objectives cover all the basics of java. If you are working with it regularly, about 90% should be known to you. The other 10% are interesting news, or things, that you saw once, but are not really aware of.
My advice: It's worth the effort!
Good luck!
Anja
ps: by the way:
if you watn to do any of the sun certificate exams, you have to start with this one anyway!!!

Hello Robert,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
