Windows / .NET :: Connecting To Oracle Database Using ODBC Driver
Jul 16, 2012
I'm using following connection string: +connectionString="Driver={Oracle ODBC Driver};Server=someDb;Uid=useruidr;Pwd=password"+
when I call method "Open" on "OdbConnection" I get following exception: +ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified+
"someDb" is specified correctly in tsnames.ora,
"...client" and "...clientin" are added to PATH environmental variable
ORACLE_HOME is set to "...client"
I have Oracle Client 11.2.0.3.0 installed
Operating system is Windows 7 32 bit
When I change Driver to "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" it works fine. However I want to use Oracle ODBC Driver.

I work in a large bank in a department that produces reports for different areas of the bank. By and large, we use Microsoft Office products to interface with our Oracle databases.Recently, we had two new databases come online that use Oracle 11g - we were not using any 11g databases before this point. We have two other databases that we use that run on Oracle 10g.
Up until the two new databases were brought in, our reporting was done from systems that used 10g and 9I. We all ran the Oracle 9I driver to connect to them, and it worked very well without issue. With the addition of the 11g databases to our reporting pool, we have been forced to upgrade our ODBC connections to the 11g driver, and it has not gone well at all. I had one query that typically ran in 30 minutes take +13 hours+ to run yesterday. Speed is not the only issue, either; we have sporadic ODBC call fails, crashes, and other general failures to deal with.
Our Oracle DBAs have been trying to solve the issue, but have not yet found a solution, and each day that this goes on we fall further and further behind, as I have daily time-sensitive reports to send out that depend on this data.
One of our DBAs said she read somewhere that Oracle had not included MS Access support in the 11g driver, and that the errors were due to the imperfect connection that the driver created. I don't know of there's any truth to that, but it would provide an explanation for our troubles. We have to use Access for our reporting, as over 90% of our existing reports and processes use Access, and having to change over everything at once is just not feasible.
Is there any way to force the 9I and 11g ODBC connections to coexist, so that we don't have to use the 11g driver for our 10g databases? Or is there a better 11g driver available?

I'm trying to setup ODBC connection for my Oracle client while installing BO. Following are the steps I followed.
1. Downloaded the Oracle Client from the link [URL] . From that downloaded two zip files. “Instant Client Package – Basic Lite" and “Instant Client Package – ODBC”. Extracted the Zip Files to the folder I created under C: as C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2.
2. Since I'm setting up in ODBC in windows 2008 64-bit R2. I was advised to install 32 bit . So in cmd prompt, from the location C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2, ran odbc_install.
3.Created the Environment variables as
i) *TNS_ADMIN - C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2*
ii) *Oracle_Home - C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2*
iii) *Edited the PATH variable with ;C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2*
4. Created the tnsnames.ora file in C:Oracleinstantclient_11_2. Its content are as follows.
clarity_dev =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = claritydev.vip.its.ebay.com )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = clarity)
)
)
5. From the folder %windir%sysWOW64odbacd32.exe, Opens ODBC Data Source Adminsitartor. In that I found my Oracle in instantclient_11_2 and added following details.
Data Source Name : claritydev.vip.its.com
TNS Service Name : clarity_dev
User Id: clarity1
When I test connect it, I get error *ORA-12154:*
* TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified*
I've seen FAQs for this error, but couldn't find anything which solves. Is there any steps I'm missing? I've checked in DB properties. It uses SID not the Service Name.

Windows 7
Oracle XE 11gR2
From Windows, I can successfully create and connect with a system data source using an user Oracle account.But when doing then same configuration process I can not create or connect using the 'SYS' account.
i get the error 'ORA-2009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER'.
What is the solution to creating an ODBC DSN for the user 'SYS'?

I am creating a cross platform database application using Mono. It uses oracle database as back end. I used ODBC drive to connecting database. I can connect to database using this following connection string in my windows machine
Driver={Oracle in OraDb11g_home1};Server=localhost;Uid=system;Pwd=manager
For Linux I uses Linux Oracle OS for Database server. I installed oracle client in my fedora OS. and cofigure the client using net cofiguration assistant tool with oracle client. client connection working OK. Then I try to connect with my mono application using the following connection string
Driver={Oracle ODBD Drive};Server=orcl;Uid=system;Pwd=manager
but the above connection string not worked.I am using Oracle 11g version. Do I need to install any other ODBC driver to access oracle database

I am using DataBase Express 11g as a development site.I have developed a Delphi GUI to run with it. (32bit). All runs as expected!My associate has a Windows 7 (64bit) machine. Express installation does not supply an ODBC driver. DataBase Express installs without problem, but it is the connectivity that is the problem
I understand that 11g(full) supplies both 32 & 64 OBDC drivers.I do not want to install the full 11g database if it can be avoided.
This is going to be more of a problem the more 64bit machines get into the workplace.Is there an alternative connection method available?

Using Server 2008 Standard Edition 64 bit. We have been running full client (admin) version 10.2.0 and just installed full client (admin) 11.2.0. Both homes are in my path variable with 11.2 first.
From ODBC Administrator, I can can create new system data sources using the 11.2 client driver and the testing widget built into the data source creator says my connection is good to both 10.2 dbs and 11.2 dbs. So the 11.2 odbc driver would seem to be working.
However, from MS Access, I can only see 10.2 drivers and 10.2 data sources, which fail unless I put the 10.2 home in first place in my path.
I cannot find a way to "access" the 11.2 drivers from MS Access. If I try to create a new data source from inside MS Access, I only see the old 10.2 driver.

I installed the Oracle instant client version 10.2.0.3 and the corresponding ODBC driver. When I try to add a DSN in ODBC Manager using the Oracle driver, it crashes and I get this message:
"ODBC Administrator has stopped working"
"Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..."
Trying to isolate this problem, I ran odbcad32.exe under DependencyWalker and it worked correctly without crashing. According to the Dependency Walker FAQ, this can be due to a "buffer overrun, stray/bad/freed pointer, etc.". They have a switch to set SET NODEBUG_HEAP=1 to check for this. When I did this, it crashes insider DependencyWalker also.

I installed the Windows 7 64-bit ODBC drivers, but the install does not seem to have made the drivers available to all users, but rather only the installing user. This install is for an image that will be cloned as a virtual machine, so the drivers, client, settings, etc. will need to be available to anyone who logs in.
Is there a way to do the install so that all the settings and files put in by the installer will apply to all users? And if so, how do you do that?

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
---------------------------------------
sqlserver.db =
(DESCRIPTION =
[code]....
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;
select * from TESTTABLE@sqlservdb
*
ERROR at line 1:
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 recently installed the latest Oracle 32bit client 10.2.0.3.0 on a Windows 2008 server. Installation was successful and I was able to create the required service names and test them to the Oracle database server. Now when I try to create an ODBC connection with Oracle in OraClient10g_home1, I get the following error: SQORAS32
An unsupported operation was attempted
If I install Oracle client 10.2.0.1.0, I don't get this error. It happens with the latest client. Is there any was to solve this error?
