Issues Using Parameterised Reports Connecting To Oracle Using ODBC And Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Oracle
Sep 12, 2007I have an issue using parameterised reports connecting to Oracle using "ODBC" and "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" using parameteried reports. The following error is generated "ORA-01008 not all variables bound (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle)" and a similiar one for ODBC. It works fine for simple reports. Do these 2 drivers have issues passing parameters for a remote Oracle query?
Thanks.
Connecting Oracle To SQL 2000?
Jan 28, 2005Hi, i need to build some way of connecting Oracle to SQL Server in order to pull data off Oracle and house it temporarily on SQL 2000 for searching.
Basically we've built an intranet using ASP and SQL 2000 and which also pulls data off Oracle, however our connection to Oracle is very slow so an idea to speed it up would be to have SQL store a temporary snapshot of this data and the ASP site query off the fast connection it has to SQL rather than use our slow connection to Oracle.
This temporary snapshot of Oracle data would be stored on SQL 2000 and updated on a scheduled basis.
Any ideas how to do this, or a better way to work this?
Thing is I tried installing the Official Oracle ODBC & Client software on our SQL 2000 server before and it just took out SQL 2000 so would really like to hear other options.
Thanks in advance,
:confused:
SSIS - Connecting To Oracle
Jan 19, 2006Hi,
I am new to using SSIS (after using DTS on SQL Server 2000 for many years).
I am trying for the first time to connect to an Oracle 9.2 database and export data from it into SQL Server 2005.
I used the Microsoft OLE DB Oracle Provider to connect to the Oracle instance. The test connection works fine, but when I try and preview a table or copy data from Oracle I get the error....
The component reported the following errors
Cannot retrieve column code page
Has anyone got any ideas how I fix this?
Many thanks
Pete
Connecting To Oracle RDB From SSIS
Oct 24, 2006Hi Gurus,
I am trying to build a Data Warehouse using SSIS in SQL Server 2005. My source data is in Oracle RDB. Now when I am trying to connect to oracle RDB using the OLE DB Source component, I am getting the following error.
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking componenets were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or late client software installtion.
Provider is unable to funtion until these components are installed.
I did install the Oracle RDB client software .Apparently it looks like Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle supports Oracle 7.3.3 and above. At the same time I tried to use ODBC for Oracle RDB driver from ODBC data sources. But the OLE DB Source Component in SSIS can't recognize ODBC. So now I am stuck on how to load the data from Oracle RDB to SQL Server 2005 staging area.
Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Ideally we are looking to port the data directly from Oracle RDB to SQL Server without any intermediate flat files (flat files etc)
Thanks,
SK

Connecting To Oracle On 64-bit (x64) Machine
Dec 6, 2005Hi,
View 81 Replies View RelatedQuestion On Connecting To Oracle
Jan 11, 2006Hello all,
I'm using a OLE DB Connection Manager to Oracle (I've installed the client) and using Oracle Native OLE DB Provider.
The problem was the view In Oracle I'm returning a column that uses a fuction on a numeric field in the the select part of the statement, and by this, the Precition is not displayed when I'm trying to look at the data types of the fields in the view.
The Precision is shown as 0 in the external field part of the component.
I have read the previous post concerning the problem connecting to Oracle Using the Oracle provider, and solved it by using the Microsoft provider, but still I have a question about the oracle provider:
I changed the precision on the External column (from 0 to 15) and also an the Output column, but now I'm getting an error on about error output not matching:
Error 6 Validation error. Data Flow Task: OLE DB Source 1 [8970]: The output column "UPDATE_TIME_NUM" (9333) on the non-error output has no corresponding output column on the error output. Dim_registered_user.dtsx 0 0
I cannot change the error output datatype, cannot delete it or do anything at all.
Is there a way to fix the problem?

Connecting To Oracle Datasource For Import
Nov 29, 2006Now this is the first time i have tried this with SQL 05 I am trying to Import data from an Oracle DB. I have the connection info:
Xtx20xxx = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =urlpart1.part2.part3.com)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = Xtx20xxx ))
)
I used the Microsoft OLEDB provider for oracle from the dropdown,
The username and password I have also. I tried to enter in the Xtx20xxx as the server name, clicked "Properties"
put in the username and password I can given and clicked "Test Connection". No matter what I get the infamous ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name error message. I am sure I am missing something obvious here but I have absolutely no clue and all the googling in the world has not given me any help. I do have the Oracle 10g client tools installed on this workstation (running Windows XP Prof SP2 and SQL 2005 STD).
Connecting To Oracle DB (connection Error)
Feb 6, 2007While upgrading several packages from DTS 2000 to SSIS I came across a couple of packages where the source data comes from an Oracle DB. Until now I have not migrated data from an Oracle source.
When I tried to create a new connection I got the error:
"System.Data.Oracle client requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater."
This is being developed on a machine that would not have any oracle drivers before now, so I THOUGHT it would be as simple as downloading the drivers, but the resolution seems to be much more complex than that. When I researched it, it appeared that I needed to download the Oracle 9i software. The installation is about 10 GB and this seemed like overkill to just be able to connect to a database.
Is this in fact the correct solution? If so, or even if not, can I get a quick run down of the steps involved, and anyone's experience (problems, etc..) on the topic?
Error Connecting To Oracle DB When Executed Within SQL Job
Nov 4, 2007
Hi,
I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 and Service Pack 2 on a new Windows 32-bit environment. I also installed the 32-bit 10g client (the Administrator option). The tnsnames.ora file is configured properly and I can tnsping to the Oracle database without any issues. I have created a package in Visual Studio and it runs successfully when I execute the job manually. I saved the package to the MS SQL Server and when I log into Management Studio to create a job for this package, I receive the following error:

Best Practices/Provider Connecting To An Oracle Database?
Jun 22, 2007Are there generalized best practices with regards to which method/provider to use when accessing an Oracle database? I have used both the "Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" and the "Native OLE DBOracle Provider for OLE DB" and both seem to have their own quirks (requirement to convert to Unicode, etc) but I also have heard that I shouldn't be using an "OLE DB" source at all, but to set it up as an ADO .Net connection.
We are just beginning to implement SSIS, and are trying to establish Best Practices/Standards etc.
Are there any gotchas - performance and/or otherwise I should know about?
Thanks in advance!
SSRS 2005 Connecting To Oracle Problem
Feb 29, 2008
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and I can view the report in Visual Studio using the preview tab. After I deploy the report and datasource, when I try to view the report on the report server is says that I must have Oracle Client version 8.xx or higher.
I have the same Oracle Client Version on my local machine and the Report Server with the same DataSource name set up for Oracle on both machines.
Any ideas why this would work on my local machine but not the Report Server?
Connecting To Oracle From Windows 64bit IA Server
Jan 23, 2007I am trying to pull data from an Oracle 9i database to my SQL Server 2005 sp1 database on Windows 2003 64bit Itanium server. Each time I try to use the import wizard, select the Microsoft OLE DB driver for Oracle, I get an error message telling me that the Oracle client tools are not installed. This happened after I had already installed the 9i tools, tested the connection using TNSPING and confirmed the tnsnames file was correct. So, I uninstalled the 9i tools and then installed the 10g client tools. Tested everything after the install and then tried the import again selecting the MS OLE DB driver for Oracle. I again got the error message that the Oracle tools were not installed.
has anyone ran into this problem and if so, were you able to fix it?
OleDb Source Error - Connecting To Oracle 9i
Nov 14, 2006Hi,
I have my datasource in Oracle9i and destination is Sql2005. I am connecting to Oracle 9i through OLEDb provider and when I connect to my DataSource using OLE DB Data Source, I get the following error:
Warning at "guid code": Cannot retreive the column code page info from the oledb provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale Id will be used.
Could anyone please help me trouble shoot this problem.

DTS Execution From Client Machine Fails Connecting To Oracle
Jul 20, 2005I have created a DTS package that pulls data in from Oracle into SQLServer. When I run it directly on the server (from EnterpriseManager), it works fine. When I run it from Enterprise Manager on aclient machine that does not have the Oracle client software, it doesnot run, giving me the error: "The Oracle client and networkingcomponents were not found...". I was hoping I wouldn't need to havethe client software installed on a machine other than the server whereSql Server is running. The problem here is that there are a number ofmachines from where I would like to execute this DTS package that I donot want to install/configure the Oracle client software. I don'tquite understand why the configuration of the client is importanthere. In my mind, when I am using enterprise manager from a clientmachine, I am using it sort of like a terminal services client toconnect to the server. I guess there is a lot more happening in thebackground.Thanks for any feedback,Marcus

Sep 7, 2006I am trying to connect to a Oracle 9i Server to execute a sql task, but the connection when tested seems to fail with the following error from the Integration Services Project:

Problem Connecting To Oracle Using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services
Sep 3, 2007
Hi,
I'm new to SSRS but have a problem connecting to Oracle. I have placed my reports upon a reporting server but the shared data connection isn't working and I'm confused as to why. I have specified the name, connection type as "Oracle", set the correct user id and password for the credentials and the connection string as for example 'Data Source=oracleExample;Unicode="True"'. I also have set the correct entry in the tnsnames.ora file for this datasource, example:
"oracleExample =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 12.23.45.23)(PORT = 3425))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = oracle)
)
)"
Unfortunately I receive the following error when trying to connect.
"
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleDataSource'.
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
"
I'm mystified as to what the issue is. Any ideas? Would restarting the report server pick up the tnsnames.ora file? I have this working locally using report designer.
Any help, much appreciated.

Output Column Has A Precision That Is Not Valid (loading From Oracle Using OraOLEDB.Oracle.1)

I'm loading from Oracle using the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider since I need unicode support and I get the following error:

1) Union
I have a select like "SELECT NVL(myColumn, 0) .... FROM myTable UNION SELECT 0 AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL"
Even if I cast the columns in both selects (SELECT CAST(NVL(myColumn, 0) AS DECIMAL(10, 0) .... UNION SELECT CAST(0 AS DECIMAL(10, 0)) AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL) I still get the error above.
2) SQL command from variable
The select basically looks like this:
"SELECT Column1, Column2, ... FROM myTable WHERE Updated BETWEEN User::LastLoad AND User::CurrentLoad"
Again, even if I cast all columns (like in the union), I still get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Inserting Into Oracle Table That Has DATE_HIGH As A Partition And Need Oracle Sequence Used
May 11, 2007Hi Everyone,
I've been searching for a solution for this for a week-ish, so I thought I would post my quesiton directly. Here is my scenario..
Source: MS SQL Server
Destination: Oracle 10g
The destination table has a partition set on a column called "DATE_HIGH". How do I populate this date high column in my package? Currently I just have a source object, and a destination object, but I'm unclear how to populate this field in the destination. I've read one blog that states "use OLE DB Command" - but that isn't enough information for me to implement - Can someone be more specific in these steps? Here is an example of what my newb-ness needs to understand
OLE DB Source (Select * from Table) ---> OLE DB Command (What query goes here?) --> OLE DB Destination.
Second part of my question: There is a second column called "ROW_NUM" and there is an Oracle Sequence provided to me... What objects do I need (Source, Destination, OLE DB Command etc...) and how do I call this sequence to populate on the fly as I'm loading data from my source?
If these are simple questions - my appologies, I am new to the product.
Best Regards,
Steve Collins
