• Java class to connect to Oracle Database Express Edition11g and URL

  Can I use Oracle SQL Developer to do or use it as the value of the URL for the host name?

  I'm just starting to learn Java and with it, learn how to use the Oracle Database Express Edition11g and with it the Oracle SQL Developer...

  At this point, I have the Express Edition is installed and the SQL Developer installed and were able to establish a connection and to run a query and get a result.

  I use Eclipse for JAVA.  I have a work of class that performs a query on a database/table in MySQL.

  So now I'm eager to make the same use as the database Oracle Database Express Edition11g engine.

  And this means that two different versions of JAVA that I need to get the right to be able to do.

  The first is the value of the url variable.

  I now like

  String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost";

  then

  Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");

  and then

  Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection (url);

  The thing I'm puzzled on is in the URL where I 'localhost' was supposed to be the term generic and not so much as the text, you should use.

  I see in Web sites like 3 connection to Oracle Database XE

  and decrease example 3-2 by specifying the URL of database using the XE Client Setup

  There I see

  JDBC:driver_type: [username/password] @[//]host_name[: port] [XE]]

  And just what is and what is not is explained here.  So what I ended up with was

  String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost";

  So if it was just a text to rest for a name I wonder just such a value or name might really where.

  I noticed that view that an app called "Oracle JDeveloper" has been used to create the values.   I don't have such a thing, or at least I don't think I do.

  Do I need?

  I have Oracle SQL DEVELOPER, where I used the following to connect to the database of the XE.

  My choice for Oracle's SQL Developer Help

  Name of connection: Connection1

  User name: Rod

  Password: myOracle11

  Host name: localhost

  Port: 1521, which is the default value

  SID: xe

  Above so I have to host name set to localhost

  Can I use Oracle SQL Developer to do or use it as the value of the URL for the host name?

  1. I do nothing

  2. While wouldn't you say it

  3. no results from the earlier assignment.

  I asked "'can I use Oracle SQL Developer to do or use it as the value of the URL for the host name?" "

  I showed the choice that I used in SQL Developer to connect to the schema.  And I was wondering, now that I had done this case those are the values that I could use in the Java class that I wrote.  The web site in the first post of this thread showed connection but he was using JDeveloper and SQL Developer.

  So I was wondering if the connection that I made using SQL Developer would do the same trick, and if I could use the values I did there.

  I'm happy to announce that YES, The values used to connect using SQL Developer work exactly like JDeveloper.

  So, given that in SQL Developer for Hostname I chose the value "localhost" "Rod" Username and password "myOracle11".

  I did the following JAVA CLASS that worked:

  package VC_2_9;

  Java for COBOL - copyright 1999 Doke & Hardgrave programmer

  import java.sql. *;

  public class DataBaseDemoOracle

  {

  Public Shared Sub main (string args [])

  String url = "JDBC: thin: @localhost';"

  / * String sqlQuery = "SELECT Name, SSNo, address, telephone OF THE customer;    */

  String sqlQuery = "SELECT CUST_LAST_NAME FROM DEMO_CUSTOMERS";

  //                                               |||||||||||||||

  Try

  {

  Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");

  Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "Rod","myOracle11" ");

  Statement statement = aConnection.createStatement ();

  ResultSet rs = aStatement.executeQuery (sqlQuery);

  Boolean more = rs.next ();

  (more)

  {

  CUST_LAST_NAME = rs.getString (1);

  /* */

  System.out.println ("name:" + CUST_LAST_NAME);

  more = rs.next ();

  }

  RS. Close();

  aStatement.close ();

  aConnection.close ();

  }

  {System.out.println ("Exception caught" + e) ;}}

  catch (SQLException e)

  {If (e! = null)}

  Hello

  Yes, the host is Windows Server 2003.
  I created a new service for the new SID. Followed all the steps to make the change

  How did you create the Oracle database Service? Have you used ORADIM to remove and create the new Instance?

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/create.htm#i1006533

  If you have created the new OracleServicePRTLservice, check who is started correctly.

  Then try a connection as follows from a DOS window:

  set ORACLE_SID=PRTL
  sqlplus / nolog
  connect / as sysdba
  

  Hope this helps.

• Connection from Oracle to Sql Server (64-bit on Windows 2003)

  Hello
  
  I want to install heterogeneous connectivity between our Oracle 10 g version 10.0.2.0.1 (on 64-bit Windows 2003) to a SQL Server on another computer on the network. I found that HSODBC is removed, and that this is is not supported on 64-bit Windows systems. So, I couldn't make it work obviously.
  
  It is even possible to set up a heterogeneous connectivity in our situation (using DG4ODBC or something?)
  If so, could someone point me in the right direction on where to start?
  
  Thank you!
  
  (I'm not a dba, previous attempt using hsodbc cost me two weeks before finding out that it doesn't even work...)
  
  Edit:
  Oh, and it is possible to display the Metalink notes as (Metalink Note: 361676.1, is generic connectivity available on The LINUX or Windows 64 - bit Platforms?) without a support contract? Or only customers with a support contract have the right to know that some features are not available?

  According to your last update, your actions are:
  1.) upgrade Oracle on SERVER1 to 10.2.0.4.0-online Yes
  2.) DG4ODBC is not certified to run on SERVER1, then I should install on SERVER2 tell you? That there is no installed Oracle... ?
  Yes, install it on the server of SQL Server 32-bit.

  The gateway comes with a complete Oracle SQL * Net listener. Just so install the 32-bit to SQL Server and configure the Oracle listener as well as the bridge and the ODBC driver.
  Now on the Oracle database server adds a TNSNAMES file. Entry of ORA that points the listener to the Oracle of the gateway on the SQL Server computer. The link of database within the 10 g, which oracle databased then connects using tnsnames.ora alias in the SQL Server computer that has an active Oracle listener that generates connection DG4ODBC. DG4ODBC executable load DG4ODBC configuration file and connects to SQL Server you have configured.

  The Oracle gateway are very flexible. You don't need to install them on the Oracle database machine. They can be installed independently; even on a 3rd machine if you do not want to touch the SQL Server computer. In this case, the scenario is similar as described above; only difference now is the driver ODBC to connect to a SQL Server computer on a remote host.

  Steve,
  The configuration files look all right, but can do you that there is at least a space at the beginning of each line except the first in each case.
  They lost when you paste in the thread, but please check.
  You can also view the listener log to see if this gives errors or messages about why he has no services?

  I have the Oracle database in one or several table, I also blob data, i.e. images are stored, now I want to move that data to the sql server database, which is the best way to do this?
  
  I would like to test for a migration of the table that contains the image data in the Oracle database and invade the SQL Server table.
  
  How to test for an Oracle table data to SQL Server migration?
  
  But the first thing I want to confirm is that if the Image from Oracle DB to SQL Server DB data are possible? is there something must be supported during the migration?

  I think that it is supported. The equivalent data type in sql server is IMAGE/varbinary (max)

  When you rename the file does not solve your problem.
  Anton Scheffer package generates a file in format xlsx Office 2010. When rename you it with the .xls extension, then Office 2010 will give you the warning that the file format does not match the extension.

  but the requirement has to generate excel 2003 file.

  The xml_spreadsheet package writes a format that was introduced with Office 2003, but you must use .xml as extension in other Office 2010 will give you the same caveat.
  To write the real xls version (binary), you can use Apache POI. You will need to import Java classes in your db and write a PL/SQL wrapper. Or you can use one of the options above, writing the output to a windows server and then use Excel to open and save in the required format.

  You must decide whether it is easier to write the binary xls format or to convince the customer to accept other formats that can be opened with Excel.

• Public link connected from a sys user database

  people, pls aplogise me if this is a silly question...
  
  I create a public database link connected through "sys" username (sysdba role) on the source db
  
  I don't use 'connect to' clause and therefore connected default value 'sys' will be taken for the user connection
  
  sys users everywhere to the db of the source and target have the same password
  
  Now, when I query select * from dual@linkname
  
  of the source database, it does not work... Why?
  
  Also tried connecting from another user, same problem.
  
  Error returned:
  
  SQL > select * from dual@db4_jpnprd;
  Select * from dual@db4_jpnprd
  *
  ERROR on line 1:
  ORA-01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused
  ORA-02063: preceding the line of DB4_JPNPRD
  
  Please help... as it's quite urgent... thnx

  A public database link created with only the 'USING' clause and not the "CONNECT to...". IDENTIFIED BY... "provides the same username/password pair (SCOTT/TIGER in your example) exist in the remote database. Username and password must be the same.

• How to distinguish between couples that comes from my TX CAN oppose and frames which comes from the network?

  HY,

  I have an object can pass data to the specific id.

  I expect to get frame from the network with IDs and similar data.

  How will I know that the data came from the network?

  (If I listen to the data of the CAN Interface, I can't distinguish the data that I convey and between data from the Internet)

  Thanks in advance,

  Aviad

  Since you are using NI-CAN, series 1, which does not support no matter what Self-reception, I assume you are using two ports CAN... make your normal transmission and the other to listen to the frames of the CAN bus?

  If this is the case, the only option I see for you would be to compare the charge received with the load transmitted to detect the images you send. This will only work if you send and receive different payloads, but it's probably something that's generally true. If it is false, then you really have no good option with the 1 series (or even series 2) and NI-CAN.

  We have a different product, OR-XNET, which provides a forum for independent reception (such as series 2 NI-CAN), but when you receive the framework that it contains a flag that indicates if it was received from the network or received through self-reception. It's of course far easier (and probably only guaranteed) way to achieve your goal.
