Windows 7 64-bit connection to Oracle server 8.1.5.0.0

Hello everybody,
Using Windows XP everything was working fine. I recently switched to windows 7-64 bits / professional. Could you help me to select the necessary client for this case?
Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 64-bit connection to Oracle server 8.1.5.0.0
V8.1.5 is ancient, obsoleted & unsupported.
Combine that with Windows 7 & you have an Improvised Explosive Device waiting to explode in your face.

  • Ftp connection in oracle server

    dear all,
    i need some ideas...
    Fact: We have an application made by programmers. This app enter a lot of external users through internet browsers. Now the application will have to upload PDF files and save into a directory. This files will be read with UTL_FILE in order to identify the file name.
    We were thinking that we have to open an ftp connection (in oracle server) through this application in order to save the pdf files into directory (another server) but this directory will have to connect through NFS to my oracle server.
    I think that this could be a potential risk in my oracle server if i open ftp...
    can you give me some ideas o antoher ways in order to do that i want ???
    Thanks a lot

    No version number.
    No operating system.
    No hardware platform.
    No DDL.
    Uploading PDF files from the client to the database server?
    Uploading PDF files from the database server to another server in the data center?
    Uploading to the file system?
    Uploading to a BLOB?
    What you are doing is totally unclear. But what is most unclear is why you chose to post this in a group named "Database Upgrade." What does this have to do with upgrading?

  • Connectivity Through Oracle Server

    The senario is that i have established Oracle 8.05 as a server and three Oracle 8 client in a LAN Environment.HOst naming Configuration technique make SQLPLUS of client to connect with Oracle server.i have also installed Developer 2000 on the CLient but the problem of connectivity of developer to oracle server bothers me so please give me some configuration technique about it asap
    Thanks

    hello,
    unfortunatly you do not describe your problem precisely, so i guess you can connect from sql-plus but not from developer.
    you have to define your databases in both ORACLE_HOMES. the easiest way is to copy the TNSNAMES.ORA file from the ORACLE_HOME of SQLPLUS to the ORACLE_HOME of DEVELOPER.

  • Connect to oracle server

    I am getting message when I will try to connect with Oracle server
    "Unable to connect to the management server. The management server 9.2.0.1.0 production is incompatible with this client". How can I resolve this problem ?

    It sounds like the version of your OEM client is not the same as the version of your OMS. The versions must be the same.

  • Cannot connect to ORACLE server in VPN

    Hello ,
    May this be a networking question but it deals with oracle database. In a workgroup environment a client PC is not able to connect to the PC in which oracle is installed.
    I tried to ping the PC , sometimes it replies back & some times it says request timed out.
    I searched on net & it said that oracle should give user authentication to that PC on windows environment. I referred the following link
    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13831_01/external.htm]
    but still i am not able to find all computers in that environment as its a workgroup & still can't connect.
    ORACLE DATABASE 10g R2_
    Windows Server 2008 64-Bit - on which oracle is installed_
    Windows XP SP2 - By which user is trying to Connect/Ping to oracle by unsuccessful._
    I also used Oracle Administration Assistance for windows but could not find the solution...
    Please guide what to do ???
    Thanks in advance !!!

  • Windows 7 64 bit apps crashing, dde server error

    Hi, I am having problems with a new Windows 7, 64 bit system. Acrobat 9 frequently crashes programs when it's invoked, for instance when trying to print a web page to PDF from Firefox, or making a PDF from a Word document. Firefox or Word will crash, with no errors. Acrobat is also giving these errors freqently: "Fatal error: failed to connect to dde server"
    Other installed apps include MS Office 2007 and Symantec Endpoint Protection, SAS JMP, Endnote.
    thanks for any suggestions.

  • "Xandros" (linux flavor), shows "TNS 12203" connect with oracle server(win

    I am using oracle developer 6i and from 2000 on operating system "Xandros" (linux flavor),and working properly after instalation.
    Problem when i am connecting to this Machine with oracle server(windos) it shows "TNS 12203"

    Thanks

    Hi,
    here is the descroption of TNS 12203
    oerr TNS 12203
    12203, 00000, "TNS:unable to connect to destination"
    // *Cause: Invalid address specified or destination is not listening.
    // This error can also occur because of underlying network or network
    // transport problems.
    // *Action: Verify that the net service name you entered was correct.
    // Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which

    Check if you see the database server from the client machine, and if listener is running and on which port, check tnsnames.ora on client.

  • Crystal Developer crash, connecting with "Oracle Server" (Unicode DB): "buffer overrun"

    Post Author: mdde
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hello everyone!
    We're experiencing the following error, connecting with "Crystal Developer XI" or "Crystal Developer 2008" to a unicode-configured Oracle 10g Database using "Oracle Server"-driver and choosing a table:
    ERROR MESSAGE: Buffer overrun detected!
    Program: ...essObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crw32.exe
    A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.The Program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
    This error is reproducable by 100%. We're normally using it because of performance, but now we have do work with "Microsoft OLEDB" instead.
    STEP BY STEP: Open CR Developer, File, New Report, New Connection (to unicode instance - this is a must), "Oracle Server", (Login without checking "OS auth."), Double click on table, Error.
    DETAILS: "Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production", Oracle-client used by CR Developer: "11.1.0". OS: Windows XP, SP2
    We tried CR SP4 and SP for 2008 edition. Didn't help. Nothing on google, nor in this forum, nor in BO knowledge base.
    Does anyone also experience this error / know anything about? Thanks in advance!
    David
    P.S.: Picture:

    Hi Aaron,
    I highly recommend that you only have ONE oracle client installed. Oracle tends to have problems finding the correct dependency versions of their runtime. One way is to change your PATH statement so it only has the one Client listed but I highly suggest you uninstall both and then install just the 11G client.
    Also, when CR connects to Oracle we query the DB and load all tables, SP's Views, etc. and when the local resources are filled up we stop. So when connecting be sure to check off the options not being used and add filtering in that UI also for your schema as well.
    One last change, close the designer down and then go into regedit and this location:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - DoAutoSmartLinking and set the default value to No if it's not already.
    Thanks

  • Windows 2008 R2 ODBC connect to Oracle Linux with 11g db

    so i think on the server site everything is correct. How could i establish a connection from the windows client

    "connectstring" is not a valid attribute with Oracle's ODBC driver, so since there is no datasource attribute specified, the app is trying to connect to a local database, and since you don't have one, you get 12560.
    To resolve the problem, pass DBQ=      instead of  CONNECTSTRING=

  • Establih a connection to Oracle Server through Discoverer 11g

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle Discoverer reporting, I have installed Oracle Discoverer 11g on my Windows 7 32bit mechine and when I open discoverer it is asking for connection details.
    I would like to know more on this connection details :
    --Do I need to install Oracle client on my mechine ?
    --Or is there any settings to be modified (ora.ini file or etc...)
    --Do I have to install any other components to establish a connection to my oracle server ?
    Your help is highly appriciated.
    Thanks,
    Sastry

    Hi,
    Do I need to install Oracle client on my mechine ?No, all the client software is installed with the Discoverer Admin and User install
    Or is there any settings to be modified (ora.ini file or etc...) You need to setup the tnsnames.ora file found in the <OH>/network directory within the Discoverer Admin/User Oracle home directory. The setup is the same for other Oracle clients e.g. SQLPlus.
    Do I have to install any other components to establish a connection to my oracle server ?
    No, not unless you are connecting to an e-Business Suite using an apps mode EUL.Rod West

  • Steps to Connect remote Oracle Server using OCi C in Linux

    Hi !
    I am trying to connect oracle server through my application using OCI C in linux, it works fine in my oracle server machine.
    I want to connect oracle server through my C application from Oracle Client Machine
    can anyone help me in this issue ?
    regards
    Balaji.C

    Sounds like you did not specify your database name. Or you database name is hard-coded.
    Can you show us the code?
    Is your TNSNAMES.ORA set up correctly?
    Also, you did not specify any error messages or anything. Are you checking the result codes after any functions?

  • Not able to connect with Oracle server through VBScript without DSN

    Hi
    I have both Oracle9i and Oracle10g clients installed with local system.
    I am able to connect to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition server though sqlplus through command prompt and also through AQT without any error.
    As the server has lots of database ,whenever I connect to a particular database through sqlplus from command prompt,I connect as below
    C:>sqlplus username/password@service_name
    and it gets connected without any error.
    When I am trying to connect the same database through VB Script,I am getting ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adaptor Error.
    Below is the connection string I am using:
    Database_String = "SERVER=xxxx.vvvn.Com;Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};DATABASE=service_name;user id=userid; password=passowrd"
    I have installed a Oracle10g server in my local system and tried to connect the same way and I was successfully ,but its not working when the server is running remotely.
    Does it make any difference with the version of driver being used ?Should I need to modify my connection string anyway.
    Please help me as to identify the issue.Thank you very much in advance.
