Connecting To DB Remotely Through Toad Using Oracle Instant Client?
May 5, 2013
trying to connect to DB remotely through Toad..
"instantclient" already downloaded and configured as below :
dll files like "oci.dll,... etc" are here : C:Oracleinstantclientinstantclient_11_2
Created both tnsnames.ora & listener.ora are here : C:Oracleinstantclient
etworkadmin
And did the below in user/system variables :
User Variables :
=========
TNS_ADMIN with value "C:Oracleinstantclient
etworkadmin"
System Variables :
===========
TNS_ADMIN with value "C:Oracleinstantclient
etworkadmin"
ORACLE_HOME with value "C:Oracleinstantclient"
Path edited and added this value "C:Oracleinstantclientinstantclient_11_2"
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.
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:
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
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...).
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
There are three versions of Oracle 10g instant client (10.2.0.2, 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.5) on Oracle website. which one works with Window 7? Where I can find the documentation from Oracle website?
i got to find out the users hostname who are connecting to database through remote,i tried with v$session bt it is showing null values in the terminal column.how to find out ?
Im trying to connect a benchmarking application (benchmark factory) from my windows 32bit laptop to Oracle on my linux desktop.
When connecting I am supplying the following details: (im getting the error: ORA 12170 : TNS connect timeout occurred)

I have installed Oracle 10g in Windows XP which is in 'VMware' as guest OS. share the procedure if we can connect to the oracle installed in Guest OS from the main operating system.
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'm writing on behalf of the MacPorts package management system. I am trying to update the MacPorts port of Oracle Instant Client from 10.2.0.4.0 to 11.2.0.3.0 [URL}...and while many of our ports including the PHP oracle module continue to work fine with this version, soci [URL}.... and TOra [URL]...
ld: can't link with bundle (MH_BUNDLE) only dylibs (MH_DYLIB) for architecture x86_64
This is on OS X 10.8.2 compiling with Xcode 4.6's version of clang ("Apple LLVM version 4.2 (clang-425.0.24) (based on LLVM 3.2svn)").I suspect this is because soci and TOra are doing something with static libraries, and Oracle Instant Client is only shipped as a dynamic library. But I can't explain why this worked with 10.2.0.4.0, unless something has changed about how Oracle Instant
Client is being built. It's not clear whether this is an intentional change in Oracle Instant Client, and if it is, what developers should do to fix their software.I have not heard back from the developers of TOra, and the developers of soci
I am running TOAD 10.6 on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have two 64-bit Oracle 11g clients installed (all on the same machine). The first is Instant Client (client_1); the second is the Runtime client (client_2). The installation of Instant Client was a mistake, since it doesn't have a Network / Admin folder to drop a tnsnames.ora file into. The Runtime client is my desired client, which has the aforementioned folder that I subsequently dropped the file into.
On starting TOAD, it says that "No valid Oracle Client found. Please note that Toad only supports 32 bit Oracle Client installations". (This is odd, since my colleague is running the same Oracle Runtime client as me and has TOAD 11.6, and yet his is working fine. But, this is aside the point.) When, I click on the ellipsis button next to the "Connecting Using" field, TOAD says that I don't have any Oracle homes installed. I checked my registry key (via regedit) under Computer / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / ORACLE. It looks like I have 2 Oracle homes (because of the 2 clients).
Also, I right-clicked on My Computer and brought up Properties, Advanced system settings, Environment Variables (on the Advanced tab). My PATH variable has both of my clients.
How to make my available clients (particularly, my client_2) show up in TOAD?
Here is what I have tried thus far:
-Alter the PATH variable to just have client_2. This didn't do anything.
-Try to uninstall client_1 and client_2 via:
a) There is a Universal Installer under Oracle Installation Products in my Runtime client. I do Deinstall Products, click on any of my Oracle homes, click on Remove, and a Warning window pops up saying to run a command at some location, but the location is truncated since I can't expand the window.
b) In my client_2, there is a deinstall Windows Batch File in the deinstall folder. When I run this, the command window sits there for a little bit, saying that some files were copied and that 1 directory was removed. It then closes on its own. This doesn't seem to do anything.
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 install Oracle instant client 11g in my Windows 7(32bit), and use MSVC6++ to test program occidml.cpp, compile is no problem, but when I run it, it crash on create Connection. I have tried to link with different version of OCCI library ( v8,v9), but all crash on create Connection.
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.
comparison of oracle and toad products.I know we have oracle enterprise manager for doing application and enterprise management.I am listing the tools from toad
Can list the tools from oracle which have or perform the same functionality.

I have installed the Oracle Instant Client* on UNIX(Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5), and I want to use it on localhost because i just want to study and test it.but here, the some error appeared to me. so I was so screwed up.
here is the error messages and the settings
Command:
~ user$ sqlplus scott tiger
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
env settings:

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 have installed oracle 10g database in the my local laptop ( Windows 7) . This laptop is in LAN. I am not able to connect from other machines in LAN. When i open sqlplus, SQL Developer from the same machine, i was able to login to the instance.
But when i want to login from the other machines in LAN. I was not able to connect. I was able to ping the server on which the database was installed from other machines. why i am not able to connect ?
I am having difficulty in making the 32 bit Oracle client connection to an existing 64 bit DB. The 64 bit SQL*Plus will connect just fine, but when trying to configure the 32 bit client I can never get a successful TEST of the connection. It always returns "No TNS Listener". I have tried several things, but may be way off base. To name a couple ...
1) Stopped the 64 bit listener so my 32 bit listener can use Port 1521 ... no success 2) Tried naming the 32 bit listener to LISTENER32 to not conflict with the original LISTENER name ... no success
If there is a documented way to make this work, I would surely like to be pointed to the "how to" of this item. I need this as a commercial application I have that connects to the DB requires the 32 bit client.
I was downloaded new version of TOAD for Oracle version 10.6 and I try to connect to my current database (oracle xe) and TOAD raise an error ORA-12154 Could not connect to XE..., but with old version of TOAD 9.6 all works fine. What can be an solutions?
I'm fighting with a fairly large set of dynamic queries created by some developer (often SQL is over 2MB) accessing plenty of tables having something like 1000 columns...
Formatting of such query takes ages in Toad while is pretty fast in Oracle SQL Developer... SQL developer is running plenty write operations in local app data directory... moving it onto a ram-drive didn't worked how I could optimize Toad's formatter?
I'm often accessing a small table which has 100 columns of type VARCHAR2(4000).
The problem is that I cannot see the results of such query as Toad is throwing "out of memory" exception. How to deal with that?
Had some annoying problems with installing TOAD on Windows 7, 64 bit.Got I working now, but anyway I thought I share it here.
1. Toad 10.1(latest) doesn't work with the Oracle 64 bit client. The problem is that this is a limitation of the tool Quest uses to build Toad. So that will not work in a "near" future.
2. Never choose the default suggested installation path which is "C:Program Files(86)",that will mess it up totally. Point to a new or existing directory without brackets.
Our company has finally undertaken the task of getting us all off Windows XP and onto Windows 7. My turn came this afternoon, they gave us all clean installs and after walking through oracle client, toad, visual studio setup I finally started using it an Toad is unbearably bad. I have found:
Loaded files suddenly become read only for no apparent reasonAfter selecting a file on a network drive and clicking the open button, a blank edit pane is loaded in place of the file, sometimes it has the name of the file sometimes no name and sometimes I get an error that the file does not exist Empty file listings, I will browse into a directory that has files in it but toad shows nothing or freezes completely
I have not used Windows 7 much or this version of Toad at all I am loading much of this over the network so that is one possible culprit but it has never been a problem in the past with XP or older versions of toad
I'm using toad 9.2.7.5 to do my plsql development. How I can enable the Profiling option so that I can analyse the performance of my stuff - currently the grey profiler icon is greyed out
