Windows / .NET :: ODBC Setup Error For Oracle Client
Sep 5, 2012
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.
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
Database: oracle 9i sitting on a 32 bit machine. Client: windows7 64 bit computer installed oracle 11gr2 client
Is there a way to connect to oracle 9i database from C:WindowsSysWow64odbcad32.exe on windows 7 machine? or what is the possible way to connect to Oracle 9i database?What we need is to run crystal reports from windows 7.
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 attempting to connect to an Oracle 8i database via the Oracle 9.02 ODBC driver and I am receiving the following error message upon testing the connection in WinXp's ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box: "Unable to connect SQLState=IM004 [[Microsoft]][[ODBC Driver Manager]] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed" .
I am running Oracle Client 9.2 on a P4 machine running winXP.
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?
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.
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 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 have installed oracle 10g in D drive . The installation says it is successful, without asking the database name or the password . I have followed the steps given in the attached file .
However it is not asking the database name or password ( no configuration set up is appearing for the user to interact with the system ) . So, after installation I can not give the username and password .
I am setting up a new production Oracle 11gr2 database on Windows 2008r2 server. I will have SAN(HP 3PAR) attach to the physical server. Here is my plan for diskLUN allocation:
1. 2 SAS disk in Raid1 for OS. 2. 2 SAS disk in Raid1 for Oracle database binary file. 3. 1 LUN for data file. (system, application, user table space) 4. 1 LUN for log file. 5. 1 LUN for temp. 6. 1 LUN for backup.
is this configuration OK? Does UNDO table space on separate LUN or it's OK to put it on data LUN?
I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I execute setup.exe as Administrator the command window flashes and exits. I could not even see what the message is. Also tried command prompt.
i want to configure my present Data Guard Setup with Enterprise Manager...and on the Enterprise Manager grid control page i am not seeing any Data Guard option.....i am using oracle 10gR2 and Windows XP.
How to use enterprise manager for configuring Data Guard.
I have facing problem while taking backup on Windows 7 client of Oracle 11g R2 database. I have installed oracle 11gR2 for windows on windows 7 machine. I have created a directory like below in database.
On Database Server
SQL> create directory win_expdp_dir as 'd:expimp';
Directory created.
SQL> grant read, write on directory win_expdp_dir to lab;
Grant succeeded.
On Windows 7 machine (client machine)
D:appproduct11.2.0client_1BIN>expdp lab/lab@wbdata.wbh-db11g DIRECTORY=win_expdp_dir DUMPFILE=lab.dmp LOGFILE=lab.log Export: Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon May 2 12:51:44 2011 Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

I have give all sharing rights on d:expimp directory. My main question is why i'm getting this error. Is there any thing missing in setup. how to take export on windows 7 client.
I am developing an 64bit And-In software. My OS is windows7 64bit Ultimate. Developer tool is Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit any-CUP.Server is SUN server and Oracle database 10.2.0.5 64bit enterprise edition.I have installed instantclient-odbc-win64-10.2.0.5 on my computer.I am able to connect through the command line sqlplus user/pass@server.In date source(c:windowssystem32odbcad32.exe), ODBC Driver connection successful.But in VS2010 C#, use Tools -> Connect Database,I get an error 193 (Oracle in instantclient10_2,c:ora10_64SQORA32.dll) cann't be loaded.SQORA32.dll is 32bit ODBC Driver or 64bit ODBC Driver?How can I connect database with vs2010 64bit?
We have a .NET application on windows server 2008 32bit using the stored procedures on an Oracle 10g environment. We are trying to deploy the .NET application onto a 64bit x86 Windows server 2008.
We face an error trying to install the x64 version of the Oracle 10g client on windows 2008. The error we get is Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: javaw.exe
Is the x64 version of the Oracle 10g client certified for Windows 2008? Has anyone successfully installed the 64bit version of the oracle client on win2008?
We have a workaround in place with 32 bit version of the client running with the 32 bit version of the .NET application on x64 win2008. However to maximize the infrastructure we need to use the 64 bit version or we would have to turn to MSSQL Server .
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.
the need to use 9i Oracle ODBC drivers with 11g? What issues might be raised with this? Our application is using a very old technology and has issues, in certain functional areas, with 11g ODBC, and we found by reverting the driver to 9.0.0.2 it works.
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 am using Oracle 11g version, and i am using plsql developer 7.1.I am able to connect Oracle through sql*plus, But i am not able to connect Oracle through plsql developer from past few days, it is giving me error like: ora-12545 connect failed because target host does not exist...I recently installed oracle dev_suite 10g client first and then i installed oracle 11g server in windows 7. Both tns files are having identical entries.
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?
But any of them contains install.exe or something like that...So I don't understand how to install instant client...I've found a doc on the web : " ... copy unzipped files into a folder ( ex.: C:OracleInstantClient ) and add Environment Variables TNS_ADMIN and PATH ) ... "I did it. But while adding ODBC driver with Windows admin tools , only SQL Server is available !!!.
