Windows 7, Oracle DB, Instant Client and VBScript

I'm trying to to connect to a Oracle database via vbs on a Windows 7 machine using the instant client.  I get an error [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]Ora-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error Code 80004005.  Script still works fine in XP using the Microsoft ODBC for oracle.  I've setup the system dsn, and added tns_admin option to the system environmental path.  Here's the connection line
psconn.Open "DRIVER={Oracle in instantclient_11_2};SERVERNAME=192.168.50.1:1521/PSPRODDB;User Id=user;Password=pass;"
I've tried 32 bit instant client and the 64 bit and get the same messages with both.  Any suggestions?

12560 means you didnt supply a tnsnames alias, and a database was not found in that home.
Try this:
   "DRIVER={Oracle in instantclient_11_2};DBQ=192.168.50.1:1521/PSPRODDB;uid=user;pwd=pass;"
Using Oracle ODBC Driver
Hope it helps,

  • Difference between instant client and full oracle client

    Everyone,
    I had read the below lines from a goldengate pdf. Someone please explain me what is the difference between instant client and full oracle client?
    What is the use of XDK libraries.?
    " The full Oracle client must be used with GoldenGate so that the GoldenGate programs
    have access to the Oracle XDK libraries. Do not use Oracle Instant Client, which lacks
    those libraries. You can download the full client from Oracle’s website."
    Regards,
    SAKTHi

    The dealio is this:
    When you install client software, you have several options as to the degree of what you get/install. The big chicken dinner is administrator, so you get all kinds of extra features, add-ons, libraries, utilities, etc. At the hard candy Christmas end is instant client, and that has just enough functionality to, as you may surmise by now, connect a client and that's about it. Various libraries have functionality built in to do whatever extra is required. An example is FAN, or fast application notification, used in Data Guard failover. A FAN API (Java) will detect a failover and re-direct a client connection to the new primary. What GG uses XDK for (specifically) isn't of importance to a user, just the fact that it is available for connecting to Oracle is.

  • ORACLE 10 INSTANT CLIENT:The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not...

    The problem still remain:
    I've installed oracle 10g instant client
    SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Wed Jan 10 12:43:40 20
    PHP VERSION: php-5.2.0 for Win32

    But I've the same old error when I try to restart Apache:
    The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not be located in the dinamic link library OCI.dll
    Is there anyone who can help me to solve this kind of problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    The solution is that you need to have Oracle 10g client side libraries
    installed (or you have to recompile PHP yourself). The oci8 extension
    has some version dependent code and the person who builds Windows PHP
    builds it with the latest version of Oracle. I was discussing the
    impact of this just this week.
    Luckily Oracle Instant Client can be downloaded and used for free from
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html

  • Cx_Oracle & Oracle's Instant Client

    Hello there, first time here :) , im having many issues trying to set up cx_Oracle module on my Ubuntu OS. My question is if the Oracle's Instant Client version it must be the same as my Oracle's Server Version ??

    There is no Oracle requirement for the client & database libraries to be exact. For example, Instant Client 11g will connect to 10g databases.
    If you have a database on the same machine as Instant Client then you need to be careful about which tools pick up which of the two sets of Oracle libraries. This is a common problem for Windows users.
    Also on Windows you do need to match the Oracle libraries to those that whatever tool (e.g. cx_Oracle) was built with.

  • Problems installing instant client and ODBC

    I am trying to install the instant client and ODBC drivers on an XP machine so I can connect to an OracleXE database via ODBC for an application to use.
    I have unzipped the instant client and ODBC drivers to c:\Oracle and added an entry to the PATH statement.
    When I attempt to add an ODBC connection I get the error "The Oracle client and network components were not found. The components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle version 7.3 or greater client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed"
    Am I missing something in the configuration?
    All help appreciated.

    did you set your ORACLE_HOME=c:\ORACLE and run the odbc_install.exe?

  • 10G Instant client and import command

    Hi all,
    Am using the 10G instant client and need to use the import command through this client but cannot find it anywhere. Does the 10G instant client provide this functionality or anyone know of a workaround for this.
    All replies much appreciated,
    Tom

    Thats a pity. I thought I read someplace that you dont lose any client functionality by using the instant client as opposed to using the client cd install. Is it just that the instant client replicates the connection functionality of a normal 300mb client install?

  • Unable to install 64-bit Oracle ODBC Instant Client on Windows 2008 R2 machine.

    I am trying to upgrade the Oracle ODBC driver from the 32-bit version currently installed (ODBC Instant Client Release 10.1.0.5.0, April 2006) to a newer 64-bit version but have not been successful.  I have had success at uninstalling and reinstalling the existing 32-bit version package (release 10.1.0.5.0) however when I've tried to install the 64-bit ODBC Instant Client (Release 12.1, December 2012), I run the odbc_install.exe application inside the package.  it appears to run without issue/compliant, but then I do not see the 64-bit Oracle ODBC driver anywhere, either if I go via the traditional Administrator Tools --> ODBC Data Sources or if I go to the c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe route.  Further investigation into the ReadMe file (ODBC_IC_Readme_Win.html) reveals that you need the 3 DLLs oci.dll, oraociei11.dll and orannzsbb11.dll which the package does not come with. Where could I obtain the correct version of these DLLs or else where can I get an installation package which already contains them?
    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  • Windows 7 64 Bit machine with Instant Client and 32Bit application

    Hello everybody,
    the last days a tried to get a 32Bit application to run on a Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit machine ... unfortunately with no success. The application runs on XP Pro and Vista Pro 32 Bit machines against a 11g RDBMS for years. As a refenence we use SQLTools from sqltools.net. It has nearly the same behaviour like the application, because it is a 32 bit application too.
    First thing was to install a 64 bit environement to verify if the connection is allright.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip an instantclient-sqlplus-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Unpacked both packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Made a directory C:\oracle\tnsnames with tnsnames.ora in it, because the app uses it
    - Set the environement variables TNS_ADMIN to point to C:\oracle\tnsnames and added C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2 in front of the path variable
    - Restarted the machine
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    Everything was allright, I was able to connect to the database as expected
    Second thing was to start SQLTools, but as I feard it quitted with an error message when trying to access oci.dll of the instant client.
    So i decided to switch to a 32 bit environement as a third thing.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basiclite-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip and instantclient-sqlplus-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Deleted the old C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Unpacked both 32 bit packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Didn't change anything in the environement, because nothing changed from the view of the system
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    But now I wasn't able to connect and got the following error
    ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
    SQLPlus was able to start now, but when trying to connect to the database I got the same error like when connecting with sqlplus.
    Does anybopdy have an idea how to manage to get a 32 bit application to run on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine?
    Thanks in advance
    My packages:
    Windows 7 64 bit SP1
    Oracle Instant Client basic lite 11.2.0.2.0
    SQLPlus 1.5 22D

    Have you tried WOW64 ? I have not used this emulator for sqlplus but it works for other 32 bit applications.

  • Mixing Instant Client and Oracle Versions

    I have a customer with an Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 database running on Windows XP x64. I'm building a new development machine, and trying to install the matching Instant Client SDK. All I see are versions 10.2.0.3.0 and 10.2.0.2.0 for Oracle 10g2.
    I assume the 11g versions are likely to cause some problems. Will it be a problem to install a slightly newer version, or will I have to patch Oracle for the customer? Since there's no actual DBA, I get stuck with all the DBA work, even though I'm a developer, and I try to avoid unnecessary DBA work.

    If you have access to download the files from the customer's installed oracle, you can get whatever you need for the SDK there. It will match the exact version number, and be a lot smaller. If you need to run the program on a machine without the installed client or server software, you can use something like a dependency walker to find what DLL's you're missing, if any. Hopefully it won't be too much.

  • Oracle 11g INSTANT CLIENT for Mac OS 10.8 with SQLLDR and WRAP

    To Oracle please upgrade INSTANT Client 11g and/or 12c (future) and include two additional utilities I always use SQLLDR and WRAP. Currently I have to open a Linux VM to wrap and use SQL*Loader. I would prefer to do it all in the terminal window.
    Actually I would like to see sqlldr and wrap utilities included with all instant clients (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc)

  • Oracle 11g Instant Client availability on Windows

    We have just installed and tested new features on Oracle 11g Linux and Windows.
    We had a problem in the deployment phase, we installed the Oracle Instant Client in Windows connected to Oracle 11g Server with Linux.
    The systems seems is not working correctly, when will be the instant client 11g for Windows available?
    We have a urgent need to know it.
    Thanks a lot.
    Stefano

    I don't think the instant client is available yet for windows nor linux.
    As for the 11g client beta on windows, you can get it via ODAC.

  • Oracle Instant Client and OUT Parameter of custom type in Stored Procedures

    Hi @ all!
    I try to set up a simple client application, that calls a stored procedure via Instant Client from C#.
    The stored procedure and assiciated types looks like this:
    TYPE MYVALUE AS OBJECT
          Id      INTEGER,
          value     FLOAT
    TYPE MYVALUELIST AS TABLE OF MYVALUE;
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT MYVALUELIST)
                                           IS
    ...I created an Oracle Command executing this SP and added OracleParameters for ID and (where I got stuck) the RESULTSET.
    Is it possible to pass a parameter with a custom type from C# in some way?
    I already tried it as a function with SELECT * FROM TABLE(ReadValues(1));
    With my parameter RESULTSET as the RETURN type. But since I use DML within the procedure, this does not work inside of a query...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Greg!
    Sorry, I misunderstood the forum topic then. =(
    Anyway, in the example you provided in the link, this is nearly exactly my situation. But there the Oracle.DataAccess.Client is used, where the OracleDBType can be called to initialize an object of type person. I use the instant client libraries called by using System.Data.OracleClient. There is only the OracleType enum, that does not contain an object or something similar.
    So I do it right now after trying a bit with a ref cursor parameter and an OracleDataAdapter - the ref cursor is passed back from Oracle as a DataReader, so die DataAdapter is able to use it for a .Fill():
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
    cmd.Parameters.Add("RESULTSET", OracleType.Cursor).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
    OracleDataAdapter odr = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable result = new DataTable();
    odr.Fill(result);Within my stored procedure I just added the following OUT parameter:
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT sys_refcursor)
                                           IS
    currentlist MYVALUELIST;
    ... [Adding elements to that list] ...
    OPEN resultset for select * from TABLE(currentlist);It works now, but I don't like that solution that much since I'm always afraid that there are lots of opened cursors idyling around. Do I have to close this one explicitly after filling my table by the DataAdapter?
    Regards

    Apologies - thought it was a database to database connection that you were trying to create.
    isql: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryThe readline library is in package readline-4.3-13 on RHEL4 and in readline-5.1-1.1 for RHEL5 on my servers (minor version number are of course dependent on the kernel version used).
    This is also not an ODBC or Oracle issue. It seems that isql is using rlwrap or similar - this requires the readline library. And possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set too.

    Pls help me.

    I don't understand your step 7 (the first step 7, actually).
    What is that unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz, where did it come from, and why are you doing all that?
    unixODBC should be installed after step 5.
    I guess that that is the cause of your problem.
    isql is not linked against readline at all on my RHEL 5 system.
    Do you notice any improvement after removing the files from that tar.bz file?
    Yours,

  • Oracle instant Client and memory

    Hello everybody,
    I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
    In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
    However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
    Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
    Thx in advance.
    Maat

    If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
    extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
    Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
    The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory
    for all its NLS data. The Instant Client Lite package uses a smaller
    footprint.
    Make sure you know what you are measuring and whether what you are
    seeing actually has an effect on performance.
