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.
View 6 RepliesI 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?
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've to install ODBC drivers required by a Windows application ( Windesign ).I've downloaded on Oracle website :
- instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
- instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
- ODBC driver - Oracle 10.1.exe
- ODBC driver - Oracle 10.2.exe
- ODBC driver - Oracle 9.01.exe
- ODBC driver - Oracle 9.02.exe
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 !!!.
I want to update the ODBC drivers in ORACLE 8i version. it's possible or not.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are running Oracle Enterprise software on various client and DB servers and we are experiencing a problem (outlined here [URL] .....) where the apparent mismatch between the oracle drivers are causing the errors.
Our db servers are using 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5 drivers and the clients are using 10.2.0.1.
Firstly, are the drivers the same on the Express and Enterprise editions so that if I update a development server using Express version (I don't have the authority to upgrade the Enterprise version nor the time to commission that) and it is successful, can I reasonably expect an upgrade to the Enterprise client versions on other servers to be safe/error free, baring environmental factors of course ?
Secondly, can I upgrade to version 10.2.0.5 now or do I have to go to the 11g version only ?
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.
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 want to use Oracle database client 10g ODBC driver but i don't have it.
I want the driver for setup.
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 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'm using following connection string: +connectionString="Driver={Oracle ODBC Driver};Server=someDb;Uid=useruidr;Pwd=password"+

When I change Driver to "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" it works fine. However I want to use Oracle ODBC Driver.
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

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

I have problem with moving old DB to the new (the same DB 10.2.0 in Win 2003, first in 32 bit, second in 64 bit). I want move DB from 32 to 64 bit. Problem is that all objects in old DB were created in SYSTEM schema by SYS. I can't export that objets (with data) because impdp nor imp don't touch this objects (tables with indexes). I can't use export import procedure. I'm looking for another method to transfer data, which will be the best and the fastest? Maybe files copy on OS? I suppose it will be problems with configuration files, database have other tablespaces.
View 13 Replies View Relatedi have the following problem:
At a test database instance of Oracle 11g (11.2.0.3.0) at CentOS 6 i've imported a tablespace from another instance to test my backup strategy.
First i've done a fullbackup with RMAN:
----------
# rman target /
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT;
----------
Then i thought to test the database i could delete something and restore and recover the database from the backup. So i deleted a table in the imported tablespace:
----------
# sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> drop table TESTTABLE;
----------
After that i would start the restore and recover process by restoring and recovering the tablespace in which I deleted the table with RMAN. At first i've set the tablespace offline:
----------
SQL> alter tablespace TESTTABLESPACE offline immediate;
----------
Then I go to RMAN and start the restoring:
----------
RMAN> restore tablespace TESTTABLESPACE;
----------
Now there is a problem when i execute the recover command. The recover command includes the recovering from the redolog files, right? As I dropped the table from the tablespace this operation was written in the redolog files. So when i make a :
----------
RMAN> recover tablespace TESTTABLESPACE;
----------
The dropped tablespace would be dropped also, because the last redolog file told RMAN to drop the table. So i think I have to restore and recover my tablespace from an older timestamp, so RMAN would ignore the dropping of the table in the redolog file. Is that right so?
And when it is right how can i restore a tablespace from an older date so RMAN would ignore the dropping?
in ASM disk group,
(under one directory)
ASMCMD> ls -lt
...(thousands of log files looks like, for example, log_19.26718.790635667),
how can I delete those files older than 10 days in one command line?
We are running 11.2.0.3.2.
In my catalog for the "source" database (rman target db), I have the backupsets for a full database backup ended at Feb. 7, 03:43:37. These are online backups. So, there are archived redo logs being generated while it runs and the following archived redo logs finished at Feb. 7, 04:00:24.
We duplicate databases all the time. So, this is not a new concept for us. The one thing that has changed is that we now back up to disk (using the flashback recovery area) and then later on, initiate a backup to tape. Prior to this go-live, we did all of our backups directly to tape. The catalog does not seem confused. It knows it needs to go to tape because it's beyond the retention for disk backups. The only problem is that it is going to the backup prior to the backupset I want, only for a couple of files.
In the past, when all went directly to tape, we would do a set until time 'Feb. 7, 03:43:37' and it would automatically restore the backupset that finished then and apply archived redo logs as necessary to make a consistent copy. Now, if I use the same model, it's going to a backup set from the prior date for 3 particular files. If I change the time to when the archived redo logs ended their backup, 04:00, it still goes back to the day before, but only for 2 files.
I can list a backup of each specific file and see that the file is in the backupset for which I expect RMAN to pull. How can I figure out a date/time to go back to if not using the method of reviewing the catalog entries and timestamps?
Is this script is enough to delete the backup pieces older than 2 days.
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
configure device type disk parallelism 1 backup type to compressed backupset;
run
{
allocate channel d1 type disk ;

What are the steps required to change an ORACLE stored procedure (on a AIX/UNIX machine) using OTG to connect to a DB2 database, to an ORACLE stored procedure that uses ODBC or JDBC connectivity?
All I need to do in the stored procedure is a simple insert statement into a DB2 table.
What kind of ODBC/JDBC driver do I need on the UNIX machine? unixODBC?
What would be different in the ORACLE stored procedure for it to use ODBC connectivity rather than OTG.
