Odbc Driver For Oracle 19c
Kahlil Algya
Oracle's Instant Client ODBC software is a standalone package that offers the full functionality of the Oracle ODBC driver (except the Oracle service for Microsoft Transaction Server) with a simple install.
Instant Client ODBC requires the Oracle Instant Client Basic or Basic Light package (depending on your locale requirements) also be installed. Download the desired package from OTN for your operating system and follow the installation instructions on the download page. For example, unzip the package to C:\instantclient_19_3 on Windows, unzip to /opt/oracle/instantclient_19_3 on Linux or other platforms, or use yum to install the RPM packages on Linux.
5. Set any Oracle Globalization variables required for your locale. See the Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for more information. For example on Linux you could set export NLS_LANG=JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC to work in the JA16EUC character in Japanese.
An ODBC application has to load the Oracle Instant Client ODBC driver's shared library file (see next section) to connect to Oracle Database. On Linux/Unix the directory path of the shared library should be set in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or platform equivalent. It can also be configured in /etc/ld.so.conf. On Windows it should be set in the PATH environment variable.
Refer to the topics Environment Variables for OCI Instant Client and Database Connection Strings in the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for setting up the Database Connection string and related environment variables like TNS_ADMIN, TWO_TASK, LOCAL etc.
On Linux and UNIX Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Linux/UNIX can be done by generating the Instant Client ODBC package and Basic or Basic Light package in a patched ORACLE_HOME. The procedure for patching and generating Instant Client ODBC, Basic and Basic Light packages is given in the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide. These new packages should then be unzipped into the Instant Client directory that needs to be patched. This method of patching is recommended.
On Windows Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Windows can be done only by manually copying the ODBC driver shared library files and supporting library files from a patched ORACLE_HOME or from an unpacked Oracle Database Bundle patch. These should be copied into the Instant Client directory. Generating an Instant Client ODBC package is not available on Windows.
I have downloaded 64-bit Oracle Instantclient 10.2 to my Windows 7 PC, and aIl works well as expected. But I now have to download 32-bit Oracle Instantclient 10.2 and ODBC driver to be used in MS Access 2016. I followed the instructions step by step as described in the following link:
Per instructions, I downloaded the instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip and instantclient-odbc-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip files, unzip them and then modified the Path system Variable value for the folder that contains the instantclient and odbc information. Once all done, for some reason, the Oracle 32-bit driver cannot be verified in the ODBC Data Sources. My question is:
If you are only gathering data from Oracle then you do not need to use the cross-connection query builder. Just try using the 'standard' query builder. The cross-connection feature is used when you are trying to gather data from Oracle and another source, say a spreadsheet, or DB2, or Mongodb, etc.
If you are gathering data from multiple sources then the cross-connection query builder is the way to go. For your Oracle connection the first step is to make sure you can connect to Oracle via the client and the proper Oracle Home:
EDIT: Further struggling with this query into the evening confirms to me that delays are within the subqueries only (all data sources, though larger tables result in substantially longer delays, as if the system is flushing through the underlying data each and every time I modify the query). Within the main query, it functions just fine.
Hi,
you have great solution. I am new to Toad Data Point.... just know enough to set up my ODBC using Oracle driver since we have oracle database. I was able to see the feature on your screenshot but TNSname and SQL editor both are grayed out.... but I was still able to set it up for one of the connections and able to access oracle database at the beginning.....
not sure what happened now when I right click on the oracle connection and properties I don't see the dialog box any more and even if I try to set up a new connection and select oracle for the group I don't see the middle section of login or advance tab. Can you help on that?
First of all, why are you right-clicking on the connection? Does the connection not work anymore? That would be the only reason I could see for doing the right-click. That being said, what has changed in your environment? Did the dba's change databases on you (did they move or drop your database)?
What happens if you double-click on the original connection?
yes I was trying to install Oracle in OraDB12Home1(64 bit) but I think it was wrong driver and was installed so I ignored it and just used the old one I had Oracle in OraDB11Home1(64 bit), however, I installed first before I configured my first connection so not sure what cause it to all of the sudden not available. I check control panel and no new oracle driver was installed even for me to uninstall, looks like Path for Oracle is good and first Oracle connection is still working fine but I just could not get property dialog box of existing one open to see how I set it up or even new connection is not showing me all the log in or advance tabs once I select Oracle
This is very odd behavior. Can you open up a support ticket? Also, I have added some new code to this area that i might want to have you try. We have an existing issue where you will not get a display if you have a registry setting to a bad Oracle client. Have you done any installs/uninstalls of Oracle clients since you started seeing this error?
Therefore I want to ask you if you can access to that database from another program that uses ODBC, does this program see the same set of environment variables as your erlang program? Has your version of erlang been compiled with a proper value for --with-odbc?
T24 JBASE has a jbase_agent that is basically a socket acceptor, so it makes me hopeful that a pure Elixir/ erlang driver might even be the way to go (if i can just understand how jdbc interacts with JBASE)
jBASE jAgent is a server-side jBASE component which must be listening on a user-defined TCP port on the remote jBASE instance. It accepts socket connections to process incoming requests from Client Applications implementing the jRemote Client API. Please refer to the jBASE jAgent user guide for more information on how to configure and start jAgent.
I have an old 32-bit software program that connects to an Oracle database but only works with the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. It does not work with the more up-to-date native Oracle ODBC driver.
For clarification, the C:\oracle\instantclient32_12_1 directory I specified contains files like oci.dll and ociw32.dll and belonged to the 32-bit Instant Client install. I guess it doesn't matter for 64-bit, since there is no Microsoft ODBC 64-bit client.
libname myoralib oracle user=userone password=XXXXXXX path=pathone; /* pathone is name of system dsn name for ODBC driver for oracle. My pathone does not have any characters not allowed in sas naming convention*/
Step 1 must be done on your SAS environment. If your SAS runs on a different Windows machine, the data source must be defined there as a DSN. If you're running everything local (SAS and SAS Enterprise Guide are on your local PC), then you can configure all of this on your machine.
1. Use Windows Data Sources (ODBC) to define a System DSN for your Oracle data source. This requires an Oracle ODBC driver. I have the Oracle in instantclient_12_1. Be sure to test the connection in the Data Sources facility. If using the 64-bit version of SAS, you'll need the 64-bit Oracle client and you'll define this DSN in the 64-bit Data Sources facility.
As Jaap points out, you don't have SAS/ACCESS to ODBC so you'll need to pursue OLE DB instead. I recommend similar steps for testing the connection outside of SAS code. You can try it with File->Open->OLEDB in SAS Enterprise Guide, but be aware that direct access to the database from SAS Enterprise Guide is not an efficient method for accessing that data in your SAS program.
I was able to use OLE DB and connect SAS in my local machine to the tables in oracle servers. As you suggested my tables are really big and took really long time if I selected more than one table. I will explore my other options.
Hi Chris, I realize this string is a bit old, but here goes, does the order of installation (SAS and Oracle client) matter? At my site we have a couple hundred users that just got new 64-bit laptops with SAS 9.4 pre-installed. Our IT department put the 32-bit Oracle client on all of these which of course does not work (error we are seeing is below.) IT completed packaging a 64-bit Oracle client and engaged me for UAT. They pushed it to my machine but I still get the same error. I will start a new post/thread for this. Thank you !!
