asp_databases thread: ASP to Oracle connectivity


Message #1 by Mangalam Ganesh <mangalamr@y...> on Tue, 22 May 2001 00:54:27 -0700 (PDT)
I have Oracle ODBC drver installed on my web server

(IIS). 



-DSN has been created.

-For security reasons i CANNOT install oracle client

on this machine. 

-I am trying to connect to the db using a connect

string in my ASP.

-Its gives me error 



Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle error '80004005' 



The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were

not found. These components are supplied by Oracle

Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3

(or greater) client software installation. You will be

unable to use this provider until these components

have been installed. 



/abc/database.asp, line 6 



Whats the Solution to this???



Thanks & regards,

Mangalam.

	Back when I [foolishly] tried to use Oracle with something other than

Oracle software (VB), I ran into this same exact problem.  It simply would

not let me connect.  At that time I made the assumption that all clients

would have to have Oracle client software installed on their machines to use

my program, which made little sense to me.



	I tried to find a solution, but couldn't.  The real show stopper was when I

installed SQL Navigator, a 3rd party tool that works with Oracle server-side

software, but simply would not run without the Oracle client installed.



	If you find the way to do it off list, then please share.



- Chuck

I don't think you can connect to an Oracle DB without SQLNET installed

on the client. The Oracle client side driver looks for two configurations

files

on the client.

This is what we do in making connection to Oracle DB from MS Web Server:



From MS-Server level:

1) Your Oracle DBA has to install the TNS service on your web server

2) You will then create a DNS name if you wish.



From Oracle DB level:

1) Your DBA has to setup an account for your web server to access via TNS



From your ASP page level:

1) use the DNS connect or

2) make direct connection example: using MS ODBC for Oracle

conn.Open "PROVIDER=MSDASQL;" & _

            "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};" & _

            "SERVER=your TNS name;" & _

            "USER ID=theuserid;PASSWORD=thepassword;"



I hope this help a little



Philip
