Re: Is rev Oracle support just a joke?

My Mac is an Intel mac indeed and has instant client installed. I also tried to connect with similar string on my work with Windows client and could not connect. What is Rosetta may I ask?

The server shouldn't be the difference, it's the Rev client. Is this client on

for Oracle couldn't be updated because the underlying library for Intel hadn't 
been released yet by Oracle itself.

Aha, just dug up entry 7102 in the Quality Center 
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7102> which confirms that 
theory. However, there is now an InstantCLient available for MacOSX on Intel:
<http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/macos/index.html>

So first try to run Rev inside Rosetta, and if that works, then the problem is 
indeed the non-existing Intel driver. In which case, you should email 
[email protected] to ask for an update to this driver; and also ask Mark 
Schonewille to re-open the entry in the Quality Center.

Hi Jan,

thanks for the reply, I was already given up the hope for
connecting Oracle. Here's the string I'm using to connect the 
database.

revOpenDatabase("oracle", "localhost", "ORCL", "sakari",
"test") ORCL being the SID, sakari the username and test the password. I'm using oracle 10g on OS X 10.5, but did also try to connect Oracle 
on Solaris.

 I did try several variation of that same string with port
number defined etc. The string works with other programs like SQLDeveloper, but I'm not a dba so dunno all the tricks. If you could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. 

With best regards,

Sakari

Hi Sakari,

Oracle support for Revolution is not a joke - I'm

assuming you have an Enterprise license otherwise you can't
connect to Oracle anyway.

First of all, on which platform and cpu architecture

are you working?

Secondly, what version of Oracle are you trying to

connect to?

Thirdly, can you give us the exact code you're using

to connect?

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel

Hi,

this question has been raising to my mind mind
lately.  I have not been
able to connect Oracle with Revolution using the

normal

connection
identifiers. So my question is if the Revolution

really is

supporting
Oracle connections or is it just a hoax? It could

be that

I'm making the
mistake when trying to connect the db, but then

again

there's no documentation to tell me if so and I

don't think

the idea is code my own OCI interface for Oracle?


With best regards,

Sakari Ruoho
