Answer: There are two ways you can connect to an Oracle database. The first way is to go through ODBC (see TechNote 8167 for details on how to create a datasource). The second way is a direct connection to Oracle. Connections to Oracle 8.0.4 and Oracle 8.1.6 (or 7) are supported. Oracle 9i is supported with the updated MicroStation Oracle server files available from Web Downloads. See FAQ 6228 for more information.

Answer: Yes. When you install MicroStation GeoGraphics, you are asked whether you want to use Oracle 8i or 9i files and the correct MicroStation database files are installed. The path to the Oracle client files is stored in the configuration variable MS_ORACLE_HOME. If it becomes necessary after GeoGraphics has been installed, to change the version of Oracle, you must modify MS_ORACLE_HOME in the ..\Bentley\Program\MicroStation\config\appl\sdodgn.cfg file.

With the StyleSet Editor, you can easily index CLOB and BLOB fields. For information on using the StyleSet Editor with the ODBC Gateway, see the Verity K2 ODBC Gateway Guide. The Exchange gateway uses NT Challenge/Response for authentication.

A database is a large, organized collection of information used for storage and retrieval. Maricopa strategically chose to move, prior to implementation, from an SQL database to the Oracle database. There are significant technical advantages in making this move, most of which will be invisible to the end user.

Oracle provides two connectivity solutions to address the needs of disparate data access: Oracle Transparent Gateways and Oracle Generic Connectivity. Oracle Transparent Gateways provides access to many non-Oracle data stores, including Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Ingres, and Sybase from an Oracle environment. Oracle Generic Connectivity provides access to many data stores for which Oracle does not have a gateway solution. This feature enables transparent connectivity using ODBC and OLE DB.

It is necessary to include the following line before first connect: SrvApiDLLs[stOracle] := 'ORA73.DLL'; // for Oracle 7.3.x or SrvApiDLLs[stOracle] := 'ORA72.DLL'; // for Oracle 7.2.x After that you can use a connect string '2:ORCL' for TSDDatabase.RemoteDatabase property for login without TNS.

The most common cause is the move towards UTF-8 as the database character set. This is a good idea but unfortunately there appear to be implementation issues which need to be resolved. Basically, if the character set on the client is set to the same as the character set on the server then Oracle does not validate that the character data passed to it is actually valid.

There are currently several ways to access the Oracle database remotely. You can use SQL Plus or any other third party database administrative tool that does not require DBA access.

Use the ALTER TABLESPACE command to change the MINIMUM EXTENT value or the DEFAULT STORAGE parameters for a tablespace.

This is the free version of the Oracle 10g Database. Express Edition is free to download, develop and deploy with any application. In our case, we can bundle ALCiE Complimentary Edition with this free Oracle Database to deliver a zero-cost accounting solution! Click here to view the Oracle Database Express Edition data sheet. The great thing about ALCiE CE is that it is the identical set of applications as those contained in ALCiE SME (Small and Mid-sized Enterprise) Edition.

The Child Project™ system connects and transfers information via the Web. All that is needed to connect and share data is web connection -- either a dial up or other connection, such as a county local area network. The only difference will be the speed of the network.

DSN-less connections are faster than System DSN connections because DSN-less avoids doing a registry lookup. Furthermore you can receive additional performance benefits by directly using the OLEDB layer.

The Oracle RDBMS on Windows web site describes how the Oracle database operates on Windows, as well as provides tips on performance tuning. Oracle offers a variety of data access methods for COM-based, .NET-based, and Win32/64-based programming languages. Oracle developers can use any one of the following data access drivers based on the Windows programming language employed: NET: Oracle Data Provider for .NET, OLE DB.NET via Oracle Provider for OLE DB, ODBC.

ANSWER 2: Reportable amounts generally consist of U.S. source dividends, interest, rents, royalties and other fixed or determinable income. Amounts of accrued unpaid income, however, are not reportable amounts.

The Investment in Detection, Response, and Recovery Technology (IDRRT) is a working group designated, established, and approved by the Subcommittee on Telecommunications Security and Subcommittee on Information Systems Security (STS/SISS) of the Committee on National Security Systems ().

Answer: To connect to these databases in MicroStation, the supported connection is through ODBC. See TechNote 8167 for details on how to create a datasource. Answer: There are several possibilities for this error. One is that the database option was not chosen when MicroStation was installed. To check to see if database were installed: open Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory where MicroStation is installed. Go to your ... Program \ MicroStation directory.
