I am trying to configure our web server (RHEL 5.4 x86) to connect to an
Oracle database using unixODBC. I have installed unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.1, which yum tells me is the latest version. I have also installed the
Oracle InstantClient 11.2 and the
Oracle InstantClient ODBC library.
I have symlinked the all the .so files in /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib to /usr/lib. I have set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/, $ORACLE_HOME to /usr/lib/oracle and $TNS_ADMIN to the directory containing my (valid) Tnsnames.ora file. Here are the contents of my /etc/odbcinst.ini file:
[Oracle]
Description =
Oracle ODBC Connection
Driver = /usr/lib/libsqora.so.11.1
Setup =
FileUsage =
and my /etc/odbc.ini file:
[Oracle]
Application Attributes = T
Attributes = W
BatchAutocommitMode = IfAllSuccessful
CloseCursor = F
DisableDPM = F
DisableMTS = T
Driver =
Oracle
EXECSchemaOpt =
EXECSyntax = T
Failover = T
FailoverDelay = 10
FailoverRetryCount = 10
FetchBufferSize = 64000
ForceWCHAR = F
Lobs = T
Longs = T
MetadataIdDefault = F
QueryTimeout = T
ResultSets = T
ServerName = //<host>:<port>/<db>
SQLGetData extensions = F
Translation DLL =
Translation Option = 0
UserID =
(ServerName has been edited...host, port, and db are actually there, and correct)
When I run isql I get
$ isql -v
Oracle
isql: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libsqora.so.11.1: undefined symbol: SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW
And running dltest gives me
$ dltest
Oracle SQLConnect
[dltest] ERROR dlopen: Oracle: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
If anyone has any insights I would be grateful, I've been trying to get this to connect for about 5 hours now...
I am going home for the night, but will gladly provide more details, if necessary, tomorrow morning, to anyone willing to help...
