I have an Oracle database installed on my computer, and I can connect to it with both Oracle Developer and SQL*Plus. Using either of these tools, is there any way to determine the connection string used for the existing connection?
In sql*plus, it stores the safe things (not the password) in _USER, _CONNECT_IDENTIFIER and _PRIVILEGE defined variables. By default, you can access them like:
prompt &_USER.#&_CONNECT_IDENTIFIER &_PRIVILEGE

I need to connect my Microsoft Report Builder to Oracle DB but I could not seem to find the correct connection string for Oracle.
I tried:
Specifying username and password
Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Integrated Security=no;
but it returned:
Is it saying that I need to download the Oracle driver? Or should I get the connection string for Oracle DB?
If you don't already have it, you will need the Oracle Client installed. It will include an ODBC driver. ODBC is a wrapper for the Oracle Client, not a replacement. When setting up your connection you will also need to get the connection properties from the DBA (e.g. hostname/ip address, port, service name, username and password).
See documentation here:

I'm trying to connect to an Oracle Server using ADO and Oracle Wallet,
First of all, my wallet IS working. I have tested it using
SQLPLUS /#DDKTEST
If I provide username and password in my connection string it works fine:
Provider=MSDAORA;Password=<my password>;User ID=<My user ID>;Data Source=DDKTEST;Persist Security Info=True
But I'm stoked when I need to make a Connection String for Oracle Waller
I've tried the following:
Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=DDKTEST;Persist Security Info=True
But it doesn't work.
So in short: I need a connection string for ADO, in order for connection to Oracle using my Wallet.
The connection string that we are using with wallets is:
Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=TNSName;OSAuthent=1;
We use this successfully with TADOConnection in Delphi (first XE5, now 10).
Where TNSName is an alias as defined in TNSNames.ora. I must note that we use a different provider (reflected in the provider name, OraOLEDB.Oracle), and I don't know if this will also work with the outdated and deprecated MSDAORA.
We did use MSDAORA before, but switched to OraOLEDB before we started using the wallets. I do remember that it was quite primitive and didn't even support BLOBs, so I'm not very confident it will support wallets at all.
I have a database Connection established in odbcad and Microsoft Access (aswell as working in Excel) via ODBC and want to also get it working in Oracle SQL developer.
It is a Windows SQL Server as far as i know and I have tried several Settings, of which None works. I have also installed Driver for ODBC. I would like to Import Settings into SQL developer as applied in MS Access, is there any possibility?
No, SQL Developer is a Java application and uses a JDBC driver.
But if you look at the odbc properties for your connection, those should largely translate to what you need to define a basic connection.
Oracle:
Server name or IP address of the DB, port # for the listener, and the name of the SID or Service, plus a valid username and password is all you need to connect to Oracle.
What error do you get when you try to connect?
Show us what you're trying.
Update:
You're trying to connect to SQL Server but you're getting"
Native SSPI library not loaded
You're trying to use OS Authentication for your connection. For this to work with the jTDS driver, you need to copy a DLL file named ntlmauth.dll (which is for NT authentication) under the jtds-x.x.x-dist\x86\SSO\ or jtds-x.x.x-dist\x64\SSO\, to any directories in the PATH environment.
Please update your question such that's it's clear you're connecting to SQL Server and share the error message so others can find it.
I imagine this question is a duplicate of many previous iterations of the same challenge.
I have already installed sqldeveloper and i can launch SQLdeveloper client on my Linux Ubuntu 16.04 system.
The problem occurs during the first attempt of the new oracle connection from the client.
Error returned:
"I/O: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
I have already tryed several times to connect at the database but i still missing the username and password.
Is it possible to configure username and password for SYS/SYSTEM(or who else) user after installation?
Full stop.
You don't have a database.
Installing SQL Developer is just giving you a client you can use to work with an existing Oracle Database, which we often refer to as the 'server.'
SQL Developer is not a database.
So you need to get one.
Then you can use SQL Developer.
You have a few options. I talk about them in detail here.
SQL developer is just like the Key for Safe lock. And Database is the Safe.
So right now you have the key for Safe but doesn't have Safe.
Please get the safe first.
SQL Developer is not the Database. So Installing SQL developer will not give access to DB
Instead SQL Developer is the client side tool to retrieve the data or to do the modification on Database.
To get the database you need to download oracle DB from below link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle12c-windows-3633015.html
I have downloaded the oracle instant client 12_1 but i'm unable to connect to the oracle database.when i tried using sql developer it is displaying the following error.
The Network could not be established.
I'm using windows 7 and my Oracle_home path is defautly set in the system variables as
path
E:\app\dell\product\11.2.0\dbhome\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
I suspect you've begun the headache of messing with the connection string. I seriously recommend you find the option in SQL Developer that will allow you to connect directly to the server (bypass TNSNAMES) and use EZ Connect. The connection string will look like this:
server.whatevz.com:port/sidname
I don't use SQL Developer, so I can't point to it specifically, but I have used it and configured it as such, and it works fine. I'm a fan of PL/SQL Developer (All Around Automation) myself.
