I have made a link through ODBC to a Oracle table but when I view the table through Access 2003 I don't get the same data, some postings are dubble and others are missing. The number of rows are correct and it is also possible to create reports with a correct result.
I have also created a Form to be able to add and amend posting in the Oracle table, but the result is the same as when I just view the table, missing and dubble postings.
I'm trying to link to Oracle through ODBC...everyhting is set up, and I can connect and I can also see the tables..The problem is...there are just toooo many tables in the link window!!!....
Does anybody know how to find the right table you want faster??? Or how to limit the tables that are retrieved from Oracle to just the ones I desire?
I even set up the correct Schemas to just view the tables I want...but It won't work when linking it through ODBC!..All the tables appear over and over again... And the list is just tooo long.
I have written a few solutions in Access (using access 2007). Now I going to create a few new ones for my company. We use Oracle for our main database and was wondering what would be the advantages and disadvantages of using Oracle as my backend while Access is my front end?
Also, should I create the queries in Access or in Oracle?
finally, is there anything I need to do differently?
I am an Oracle DBA with little to no Access experience so please be kind. :D
As of yesterday a frequent user of Access 2003 (11.8166.8172) SP3 reported that all columns in all rows have the value #Deleted in a number of tables linked back to an Oracle database.
I am not experiencing this problem but I have Access 2007. It is not an option for this user to upgrade.
I've discovered several issues over the web with data type issues/ characterset issues but nothing seems to fix the problem. I've tried the Oracle supplied 11g and 10g ODBC drivers. I've tried the Microsoft supplied ODBC for Oracle drivers.
None of it seems to work and I am out of ideas. Can anyone suggest anything?
The problem wasn't noticed until yesterday so it can't have been happening for long. The problem is occuring in Oracle 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.1 databases. There has been no change in the Oracle environment.
There was a windows update recently but we tried uninstalling that and it didn't help.
Ok. I have tables vinculate to ORACLE, the primary key of Oracle is double, from Access of query return one number rounding 1,00000902026541907589E+20 this is the problem, in query i have this funtion: IIF(isnull([CAMPO1]);[CAMPO2];[CAMPO1]) this return one number ok field(CAMPO1) and other bad(CAMPO2 it's rounding). I need that return this query two doubles. example:
bad - 1,00000902026542E+20 = 100000902026542000000 ok - 1,00000902026541907589E+20 = 100000902026541907589
I have linked tables from an Oracle database. I want to run a query to find records that have dates in a defined range. The date field in my linked Oracle table is in the date/time format. When I run my Access query, I only get those records that have a date (and no time) in the field. How can I get all records, even those with a date/time entry?
We have an MS Access 2010 Database that uses Local Tables, External MS Access Tables, and ODBC Linked Oracle Tables (Accessed for Read Only). The unsual issue occurs with the ODBC Linked Oracle Tables.
One of the more important aspects of the project is to modify the ODBC Links to point to upgraded Oracle Database Tables. Up until today, all of the Links had been able to be remediated with a simple refresh and test.
This morning, however, it was determined that one of the Database Tables did not exist in the Schema. Instead, it was an Oracle Synonym for a Table that existed in a different Schema. We believe that we have the proper authorization for access to all of the Schemas involved, and despite this fact, MS Access was unable to link to the Table properly.
I have to use MS Access as front end with ODBC connection to Oracle 9i
DB.
The application(forms) should be able to update, delete ,insert records into oracle tables(backend).
i have a main form,which has some unique id's and other info about the ids and the subform shows several matching id's for that unique id in main form. the user who uses this application should be able to 1) search for the unique id in the main form such that the subform displays all its matches 2) they should be able to select anyone match and say approve(there can only be one match), then that particular record should be updated in the table.IF I USE A CHECK BOX AND IF THEY CLICK ON ONE RECORD AS MATCH,HOW DO I TAKE THAT RECORD SAY THE ID , NAME ADDRESS AND ALL DETAILS AND UPDATE THE TABLE??? similarly when they select some other record i should give option of deleting other irrelevant matches in the backend table.
the main form and the subform uses the same table as source.updates are to another table, i should also have to put entry into audit table about which record was deleted and which one inserted..
How should i do this?? i am new to MS access .VBA, any help would be highly appreciated!
Oracle Express Edition, DB2 Express Edition-C, and SQL Server Express Edition.Which one would you develop for / work with if you had a choice (SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2)?I am thinking of making a database application with one of the above and the criteria is:Great support, communityRock Solid and stable; where some clients do not have a DBAFastEasy to back-up and restoreRelatively easy to program and developEasy to deploy and scaleThe general direction I am getting from a few people is leaning toward SQL Server Express. They say it is easier to work with than Oracle, (supposedly Oracle is not for the faint hearted especially when there are network issues) but Oracle is faster and maybe more stable than the others. Haven't really heard anything about DB2...MySQL is out, simply because of the price of an OEM for a desktop application that can be expanded later is too high for what I want to do.Thoughts?Thanks
I donot have much information at this time, but siiting in an Oracle fusion meeting, the Oracle reps mentioned they have a product to compete with MSAccess. Of course it runs on Oracle instead. They said Oracle had to come with a competing product because to many Access databases turn into Sql Server databases. That is about all the info. I have right now on this. Thought it an interesting subject however.
My firm uses Access 2000 FEs to an Oracle 8 data warehouse.
I'm having trouble with a (native Access) query of Oracle joined tables using a text value from a combo box column, not the bound column, as part of the query criteria, not a pass-through query. I know, I know. but I've inherited it all.
The query return nothing. When I filter using specific string characters from the combo box column or a pure text criteria, the query returns data correctly.
It occurred to me that Oracle can't use the displayed column from the combo box as a query criteria. I'll try a text box tomorrow.
Hi, I have a front end that i have developed in access which manipulates a table stored in an oracle database. I have an ODBC connection to the oracle table.
When i open the access front end i am confronted with the
Oracle ODBC Driver Connect and am promted for username, service name and password.
My question is... Can I in any way take what is inputted into the driver connect for username and password. For example to deactivate/activate some command buttons depending on the username that is inputted
Can anything like this be done or is this driver connect a totally individual thing?
I'm just looking for some general views and opinions here and would love to know what people think; advantages/ disadvantages etc.
We have a system of spreadsheets traking various ongoing projects in our organisation which are sitting on 6 different regional servers. This poses a number of problems as you can imagine - no way of collating the data or generating reports centrally. Updates/bug fixes cannot be carried out because it would require chaning each workbook individually and so on and so on.
I am trying to make an argument to create a new Oracle based database or similar which will be held on a central server and accessed through the company's intranet.
What I'm trying to do is compile a list of the possible reasons to do this or not as the case may be. Opinions or arguments for and against would be most welcome.
We use an Oracle base software called Trapeze and Microsoft Access sometime used as a front hand to access the Trapeze oracle tables. Due to the possible dangers of allowing the users Access, Is there a way to block the users access to Administrative Tools, to create ODBC connectivity to our databases? Trapeze's security is antiquated and uses Oracle to validate accessibility. Since a user has to be created in Oracle, with update, delete, read, write, append rights, for Trapeze to work correctly, a user can connect directly to the Db through Access and make changes directly to the data, unless the ability to prevent them from creating their own ODBC connections.". Any ideas on how to prevent them to create that ODBC connection?Thank for your help.

I have a Acces 2000 front end that links to an Oracle 9i back end. Everytime i open a form/table the ODBC dialog box appears asking for username/password/server. Is there a way to bypass this using vba code so that when the Access app starts the connection is established behind the scenes and therefore preventing the dialog box appearing.
Tried using a link table however it gives me an error saying that I must specify owner because several tables with that name exist. I hit ok and the window closes, I never receive a chance to specify owner (sys?). Is there a way around this or another way to create a table that is constantly accurate with my Oracle table?
I’m trying to understand why I’m getting the message below and how I can fix it. This happens when ever I try to run a larger qry, and it pops up within a minute.
Any help would be very much appreciated
OBDC –call failed
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora][ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation (#1013)
I was hired to write some reports in Access 2000 for a small company (max of 6 users at a time). The database was created by someone else and he decided that moving to Oracle was the answer to some of their issues (losing data due to record locking). The guy did not know Access at all so that DB is screwed up (another issue all together). I had no problem creating the reports and they ran fine on my home and work computer. When I imported the reports into the Access DB at this company they ran fine (but VERY slow). I then got a call 3 days later from them saying the reports wouldn’t run. The owner decided to upgrade to Access 2003 to see if that would help but that created another set of new error messages. When I try to run the report it gives two messages: "can not perform action/make changes in record primary key" and "record not found". These reports are based on simple select queries. Trying to run the reports freezes the application. I even tried to open the tables and it either freezes the app or takes about 15 minutes to open. These tables are linked to Oracle 8i. The newest OBDC drivers have been installed and the newest Oracle 8I edition has been installed. Since I can run the reports in Access I assume the issue is the link with Oracle. I have very little Oracle knowledge. From what I can tell the data is stored in Oracle and Access pulls the data via the links. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know how to fix the issue? Your help is very much appreciated!
Using ODBC, is it possible to import only part of an Oracle dataset into Access 2007? If so, how would I do that? I have an Oracle table with 6 1/2 million records, but I onoly want to see the first 500,000 records.
If anyone can advise on how to do this, I would sure appreciate it.
