How can I connect excel from pl / sql to copy results from the query. I was trying with OLE2 but it is throwing error as "invlid Identifier". Then how to include OLE2 in oracle.
View 10 RepliesI would like to connect to oracle database and would like to execute series of SQLs and write those SQL results into Excel file (sheet1).
my requirement is simple :
------------------------
db_user_id scott
db_user_pwd tiger
db_sid orcl
select count(*) from emp;
select count(*) from dept;
print the same SQLs in A column and result should be in B column in excel file.
column A column B
select count(*) from emp; 14
select count(*) from dept; 4
thats it.
We wrote a query to spool the results in TAB delimited flat file, Results are ok but when copied into excel the leading zeroes are getting wiped off.
Example:
Result: 0000123 and when copied into excel the value is just 123. I need to retain the value as it is 0000123.
Can we control it in the query itself rather than correcting the excel.
I want to copy some rows in one column from Excel and Paste it in a Oracle Forms Progam. Normaly with the clipboard. But my Oracle Forms 6i Program copy alle the rows in one Field, separated with a | character. But I need it in several rows.

I've read a lot of articles on the internet regarding the Heterogeneous Services but just can't get it to work on my system. Therefor I tried an example on connecting to an Excel workbook I found on another forum [URL] but that gives me the same problem as with connecting to sql server.
Here is what I've got:
initFRUIT.ora

One thing I noticed is that I do not have an hsodbc.exe file in my \bin, should it be there?
(I also tried Tgmsql80 in stead of hsodbc as program in Listener, resulting in an extended time of testing the connectivity but with the same result)
Is there any way I can test parts of the connection to limit the location of the problem? (e.g. does the listener get to the TNS)

I have been trying to connect to an remote oracle db from c# .Net . I believe I have the proper code (Cos when the user id and password strings were omitted , it threw an error of invalid user Id and password).
Once this was properly provided , the connection is now throwing "TNS Error : No Listener " error . The same remote DB is perfectly connecting through TOAD and it is from the tnsnames.ora file of the local file that i got the connection string from . Hence , I don't thing its a problems with that as well.
I am trying to learn Oracle and trying to use Visual Basic 7 to connect to an Oracle database, upload a text file to an empty table and then update a second Oracle table based on the info in the first table. I know you can do this with SQL*Loader, but how about VB? I did some research and found this posting: Re: Using Bulk insert or SQL Loader in VB6 I borrowed the code from there and altered it for my application (see below).
Dim con As New ADODB.ConnectionDim rst As New ADODB.RecordsetDim rst2 As New ADODB.RecordsetDim rst3 As New ADODB.Recordset con.ConnectionString = "Provider=OracleDB;User ID=john;Password=doe;Data Source=TestDB;"con.Open 'open the text filerst.Open "C:OracleTestCombinedCombined.txt" 'rst2 is an empty recordset because TempTable is empty at this time.rst2.Open "select * from TempTable", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic 'adding rows into TempTable.Do Until rst.EOFrst2.AddNew Array("PACKET", "DATERET"), Array(rst.Fields("PACKET"), rst.Fields("DATERET"))rst.MoveNextLoop rst.Closerst2.Closecon.Close
My second question is this - say I had a second Oracle table in the same DB called "MasterTable", with the same two fields as "TempTable" (PACKET and DATERET). I want to update the DATERET field in "MasterTable" with the DATERET field in "TempTable" ONLY when the "PACKET" field matches in both tables.

I have been told client is not getting to the listener because listener is only listening on 127.0.0.1.
unless & until DB server is configured with a routable IP#, no remote client will succeed.

But for the past two days I am heck stuck with making a Proper Installation ! I have swept the Internet and the Oracle Forums but there is not single tutorials on how to 'INSTALL' these products completely.(All tutorials are on on 10 XE and dont cover Dev Tools installation)
For eg. I installed Oracle 11 XE and ODAC 11.2 Release 5 (11.2.0.3.20) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio but still the database was not connecting.A blog suggested that I should edit and place the tnsname.ora files in the correct location then I should configure the machine.config file.But Oracle says that its universal installer automatically configures the config file.

Connecting Oracle to SQL Server via database link.
I am trying to connect from Oracle 10G to a SQL Server database. I have looked at the manual and i will admit that i am finding the documentation quite difficult to follow. There seems to be several options to use but none of the documentation describe how each option works.
As an example, i have been given the following information on the database i need to connect to (i.e. the SQL Server database)
- Username
- Password
- Database Name [lets assume the database name is data_extract]
To connect the above i made the following changes
$ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/inithsodbc.ora
---------------------------------------
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = data_extract
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

Note: In listener.ora, i only added the last SID_DESC entry. I then went on and created the database link as shown below
create database link sqlservdb using 'sqlserver.db';
When i try to access a table i get the following error
sqlplus> select * from TESTTABLE@sqlservdb;

ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from ORASQLSERVER
A couple of things i am not sure of:
- Where do i specify the username and password to access the sql server from the oracle db to the sql server db
- Having read around on the internet, i can see some people refering to a DSN datasource. I am told that the information that i have is all i need. Is this correct or do i need something else?
- The sid i specified in inithsodbc.ora and tnsnames.ora is actually the sql server database. Is this correct?
connecting to an oracle db with the instant client 11.01.06. I can connect to the db via other tools like sqldbx or SqlTools 1.5 which are also using oci. So now I tried it with c++ using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
First I tried this
Environment* env=Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* con=NULL;
try{
con=env->createConnection("user","pwd","//servername:ip/mydb");
}
and got following error: "the attribute OCI_ATTR_USERNAME is greater than the maximum allowable length of 255".
So I tried:
Environment* env=Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* con=NULL;
try{
con=env->createConnection("user","pwd","tnsservice-name");
}
where tnsservice-name is the name I specified in the tnsnams.ora, and which I used with the other tools working fine -> same error.My username is only 4 long, so I thought it might have something to do with the string. So I tried:
Environment* env=Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* con=NULL;
string user="user";
string passwd="pwd";
string db="tnsservice-name";
try{
con=env->createConnection(user,passwd,db);
AfxMessageBox("sucess");
}
now it returned the error "TNS:connect descriptor too long". Can't have anything to do with the .ora file, since it worked fine for the other tools. Plus it didn't matter if I renamed the .ora file or removed it from the TNS_ADMIN directory..So I searched a little more for a solution and so an example, where the the last argument is missing. So I tried
string user="user";
string pwd="pwd";
Environment* env=Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* con=NULL;
try{
con=env->createConnection(user,pwd);
}
It returns: "TNS: protocol Adapter error" which I somehow can understand, since the adapter doesn't know to wich db to connect.I also tried to use some frameworks like soci or otl but was never able to compile them... (link errors, unknown data types etc...).
i have table (MEN) with 900,000 records.in this table i have field `IP` and `Tdate`.when i run query:
select * from MEN where IP = '1.1.1.1' and Tdate = TO_DATE('07/04/2010', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
it takes long time until i get Result.i try to make index like this:
create index
my_in
on
MEN (IP,Tdate );
but how to run the query to get fast Result?i try this:
select My_in from MEN where IP = '1.1.1.1' and Tdate = TO_DATE('07/04/2010', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
and get error: `ORA-00904`
On our production servers we have simple function with result_cache, like this:
create or replace function f_rc(p_id number) return number result_cache
is
ret number;
begin
select t.val into ret from rc_table t where t.id=p_id;
return ret;
exception
when no_data_found then
return null;
end;
/And its results frequently invalidates without any changes in table or function. I found only 2 cases when oracle invalidates result_cache results without any changes in table:
1. "select for update" from this table with commit;
2. deletion of unrelated rows from parent table if there is unindexed foreign key with "on delete cascade".
I test it on 11.2.0.1, 11.2.0.3, on solaris x64 and windows. Test cases:
[URL]......
But none of them can be the cause of our situation: we have no unindexed fk, and even if i lock all rows with "select for update", it still does not stop invalidating. In what other cases this happens? Am I right that the oracle does not track any changes, but the captures of the locks and "commits"?
I've migrated from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11gR2, when i'm checking my application on Oracle 11gR2, i found that some of the query result are differed from the previous version of Oracle 9i, which is very illogical to me. I've checked the data for all related tables which are involved in one of the query. I've checked all indexes also. Still i'm not convinced that Oracle is doing anything wrong. I cannot recreate the whole scenario here, because of many tables involved in that query.
One of the sample query code.
select 'ProductMaster' producttype,e.schemecd,e.SCHEMESHORTDESC as SCHEMEDESC,to_char(e.schemefrdate,'dd/MM/yyyy')as schemefrdate, to_char(e.schemetodate,'dd/MM/yyyy') as schemetodate,e.mkid ,e.countrycd,e.statecd,e.districtcd,f.schemetype, a.productcd,a.packsizecd,a.packtypecd,a.sortorder1, a.countrycd,a.statecd,a.districtcd,a.p_uniqueid,a.mrp, (a.productcd ||'-'||b.countryname||'-'||c.statename||'-'||d.districtname|| ' -pkt.prc:'||a.pktprice ||' -mrp:'||a.mrp) as pcode

I use sqlplus in oracle (linux). I have a table and the string cell have long string . Like below :
CODEcolumn A Column B
A BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
.....................................BBBBBBBBBBB
So, I need to edit/update the row A and the value in Column B. But the string in Column B is so long and I only need to edit one character. IF I use update command , I need to type very long string and it is easy to wrong edit .
