Oracle 8 and Forte 2
I tried to connect a Forte DBSession object to a Oracle 8 database server running (both) on WinNt 4.0.
The db is up and running, all Oracle tools work. Unfortunately, when starting my plan, I get the following exception:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed
Cause: This message occurs usually because the Net8 driver is not loaded into
memory or there is a mismatch of the version of the driver. A user program
linked with an obsolete library may also cause this message. Only programs
provided by Oracle Corporation should use this interface.
Action: If the message occurred during use of a program provided by Oracle
Corporation, contact customer support. If a user program caused the message,
relink the program with current versions of the Oracle libraries.
It seems, that Forte uses an old interface library to connect to Oracle, which is incompatible.
So my questions:
- Is it possible to connect Oracle 8 through Forte 2.0 ?
- What am I doing wrong (username, tnsname and password are correct) ?
TIA,
Tim Hagemann

Dale, Tim,
as of release 3.0.F.2, forte has certified connection to Oracle 8.0.3
with SQL*Net v 2 on limited platforms (digital unix, dg/ux, hp/ux,
aix, dynix/ptx, solaris, siemens). Please go to our home page
<a href=
"http://www.forte.com:8080/testplat.nsf/9189865429669e9a882564fb00089562?OpenVi ew">http://www.forte.com:8080/testplat.nsf/9189865429669e9a882564fb00089562?O penView</a>&Start=1&Count=2000&Expand=9.20#9.20 to verify the platform
requirements.
on a side note, oracle 8's object implementation is a quasi-object
implementation, using PL/SQL layer over relational tables.
If you or your customers have a business need for
this feature, we will be more than happy to review & implement it
in future releases.
regards,
linh ...
p.s. Dale, could you send a correction to the forte-user group? thanx.

Forte 2.0 does not support Oracle 8. Nor does 3.0 for that matter. If
Oracle 8 supports connections from Oracle 7 clients, then you might be
able to get around the limitation that way; install the Oracle 7 client
on the server where your Forte database service objects live, and let
Forte connect that way. Even if that works, though, you won't have
access to any Oracle 8-specific features.
