Client Tools :: Cannot Connect Using JDBC Oracle Thin Client With (New Method)?
Feb 21, 2013
The problem is that this connection errors when I try to connect using my SQuirreL client. My developers want to connecting using the SID or the SERVICE_NAME and by using the "New Method" syntax, not the "Old Method" syntax. According to the documentation the "New Method" syntax works with the SERVICE_NAME or the SID. The "Old Method" only works with the SID.
# Host name is vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com
# SID is sting2
# SERVICE_NAME is sting2.na.sas.com
PROBLEM using SID errors ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2
THIS WORKS using SERVICE_NAME ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com
I am using SQuirreL Client version 3.4.0
# Here is the tnsnames.ora entry on the server.
STING2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
[code]...
# In this documentation it says, "On new syntax SERVICE may be a oracle service name or a SID."You can find this on the orafax wiki under JDBC#Thin_driver.
# I was able to connect with the "old method" using the SID only, SERVICE_NAME errors jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2.na.sas.com
(SQuirreL client error, "Unexpected Error occurred attempting to open an SQL connection.")
jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2 (this works)
# "New Method"
jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com (this works)
jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2 (this errors)

I have new virtual UNIX machine and I installed oracle client on /usr/lib/oracle. Also I have a oracle database and I am able to connect to this database from my desktop sql developer.
So now I am trying to connect from new UNIX machine. Where I created tnsnames.ora file under /usr/lib/oracle/network/admin and before connecting did export the following
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. Not sure what I missed here. using same tns file I am able to connect from sql developer on windows.
I have TOAD 8.6 installed and hoping to use with Oracle 10g databases. I have SQL Navigator also - it works fine. However TOAD does not. Open up TOAD and see the TNS dropdown, select a database and try to log in - click on Connect and the little SQL hour glass comes on, goes off - there is no error, no message and no connection. I have tried several databases and again, SQLPlus, SQL Navigator are both working fine.
I installed Oracle 10g XE and Toad 10.5 in my home system.I am able to connect to Oracle from Oracle XE homepage and XE SQL command line but when I try to connect to Oracle from toad 10.5 I am getting the error 'TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified (XE)'.From toad I tried direct and TNS options but it did not work. My tns ora file looks like below.
TNS_ADMIN variable has correct parameter and Toad is directing the correct TNS file. I tried changing hostname with my system's ip but still I am unable to connect to Oracle from Toad.
when i try to connect with sqlplus or toad then i get an error
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:Users>sqlplus SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly C:Users>
and i want to tell what i do before it-my all files were be converted in .FLT then i shorted out this problem after that when i tried to connect with sqlplus or toad then i get above error.and i have restarted my system but throwing same error.
I am able to connect to DATABASE from SQLAssistant only when I provide string like ABOVE........If I dont mention the SERVICE, m unable to connect to DB.Now the biggest issue is with SQL Developer.....m not at all able to connect to DB using SQL Developer.
I need to install Oracle client to get latest sql plus working on client pc as the problem is, i am not able to find out where i can download this , i just need the sql plus as i am not able use many commands because when i installed oracle forms 6i client tool , sql plus 8.0 got installed.
The version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi. for Unix AIX 5
I install the ODBC Driver Manager, Basic Instant Client, ODBC Instant Client packages (libsqora.so, odbc_update_ini.sh).
The error:
[oracle@d4 oracle] $ isql OracleODBC-10g user passtemp -v [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/home/oracle/instantclient_10_2/libsqora.so' : file not found [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I am using oracle 10 g on my pc .i have no issues while working on it but whenever i am not connected to the internet its says failed to connect.As most of the time i am not connected to the internet the isql plus browser would show the same error but the moment i connect to the inet,it works.
Is it that 10g isql plus wont work while not connected to internet ?
I have installed and loaded a mssql express database on my pc for migration testing. When I test a connection from sql developer 3 receive "Failure -Test failed Cannot connect to Microsoft SQL Server on localhost. I am using windows authentication and SQL Server authentication and the default port 1433.
I'm not able to login to PL/SQL Developer 7.0.3.1123.I'm receiving "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified" error. Although it lists all TNS entries in Database drop down.It was working fine last week but now I'm not able to login.
When i'm trying to connect my already-existing database, i get an error: "ORA-12505,TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.The Connection descriptor used by the client was: localhost:1521:xe".
i can't loose the builted tables and the information stored in them.My listener.ora file is :
there is a problem , related to toad. when i try to connect with my database through toad then it throws an error-"Can't initialize OCI. Error -1", how to sort out of this problem. and i am using toad 9.2.7.1 on widows server2008.
it seems to me that the file tnsnames.ora is not read when i execute sqlplus.whit the command: sqlplus username / password @ servicename i receive the error ORA-12154, while if i pass the whole connection string i can connect without problems
