Oracle 9i ODBC connection
I am attempting to access an Oracle 9i database located on a Solaris server from an XP client. The server is running Oracle 9i9.2.0.1.0 and the XP is Oracle client 9i 9.2.0.1.0. When I start a listener on the server, the listener starts but I receive a message “The listener supports no services”. I can access the database via SQLPLUS on the client using the Oracle client SQL. I can also access through a telnet SQLPLUS session. When I attempt to access the database in ACCESS using ODBC, I receive an error message:
ODBC - call failed.
Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle ORA 12514: TNS: listerner could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor (#12514) Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0 (Microsoft) (ODBC Driver Manager) Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#)
I realize that Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora on the client work together. On the server, should I have something comparable?
Also, on other examples I have seen SID used to identify a service, the Oracle client configured as SERVICE_NAME = xxxx rather than SID.
After I can establish this ODBC connection, my ultimate goal is to use dfPower DBMS/Copy on my XP client to load Oracle tables on the server through an ODBC connection.

Hi, I'm trying to make an odbc connection to a SCO db using Vista, but I'm having some troubles. In the past I have used Vision97 on either windows 98 and XP, but it will not install on Vista. Is there an alternative driver that I can use to make my connection? Any other workaround?

iodbctestw
iodbctest(1) iODBC Driver Manager iodbctest(1)
NAME
iodbctest, iodbctestw - iODBC Demonstration programs
SYNOPSIS
iodbctest ["DSN=xxxx[;UID=xxxx][;PWD=xxxx][;OPT=value]"]
iodbctestw ["DSN=xxxx[;UID=xxxx][;PWD=xxxx][;OPT=value]"]
DESCRIPTION
The iodbctest program and iodbtestw programs are simple ODBC sample programs, showing the strength of the ODBC API to connect to any ODBC
enabled database, issue SQL commands and retrieve the query results.
The iodbctest program uses the standard ODBC API calls to connect using any DSN, but retrieves all results in ASCII mode.
The iodbctestw program uses the ODBC Unicode API calls to connect using any DSN, and retrieves all results in Unicode mode.
OPTIONS
The iodbctest program uses the SQLDriverConnect function to make a connection using any available ODBC compliant driver. This allows the
user to override any ODBC connect attribute in the DSN string.
Connect strings should start with either a DSN=xxx or a DRIVER=xxxx attribute optionally followed by other DSN attributes separated by a
semicolon e.g:
DSN=ora9;UID=scott;PWD=tiger;DATABASE=ora9u
Any attributes required for a proper connection that are not entered in the DSN connect string, must be present in the odbc.ini file.
If the connect string is passed as an argument to the iodbctest program, the string should be quoted as most shells use the semicolon as
their command separator. If the connect string is entered on the interactive prompt, no quotes should be used.
After a successful connection has been established, the user is prompted for a SQL command to be send to the database. A SQL command cannot
span multiple lines.
If the SQL command returns one or more result sets, each result set is fetched using character buffers and displayed in a table.
Additionally, the iodbctest program understands a few special commands:
qualifiers
Show a list of qualifiers using the SQLTables catalog call.
owners
Show a list of owners using the SQLTables catalog call.
tables
Show a list of tables using the SQLTables catalog call.
types
Show a list of tables types using the SQLTables catalog call.
datatypes
Show a list of data types using the SQLGetTypeInfo catalog call.
reconnect
Perform a disconnect/reconnect with the information saved during the first SQLDriverConnect.
quit (or exit)
Exit the program and return to the shell.
EXAMPLES
Start the iodbctest program and get a list of DSNs before making a connection:
$ iodbctest
OpenLink ODBC Demonstration program
