I have a spreadsheet located on a centrally hosted server. Each day, a view on my Oracle database exports a report to this excel. To access the document, various users across a number of locations can login and review the doc. However, for no obvious reason, a number of locations have started being requested for the server name. Most of the locations have the 3 fields filled in by default, but in the problem locations they have to enter the server name each time.
Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this? No configuration changes have been made recently, and I am fairly new to the system as a whole, and cannot come up with an explanation.
See attached screenshot for what I mean.
Thanks!

I browsed to Admin Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) and created a File DSN. From here I was able to specify the following:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
UID=xxxxxxxxx
PWD=***************
server=xxxx.xxx.xx
This meant creating new database queries inside excel, I could point to this as reference and connect externally. But more importantly for my issue, remote users could now access a server based excel, without being prompted for the server-name. I still don't know how they lost this functionality in the first place, but this solved my issue. :)
Turns out this doesn't work - I was opening a different version of the file. Still no sure how the connection box with excel is populated from!

I am getting error when clicking on one tab in Oracle forms app UI.
All other tabs are working without any issue.
Pleased suggest.
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger contains code which - I presume (I must, as you didn't post any code) - references (a) table(s) in another database, but that database is unreachable.
Why? Because database name you provided doesn't match any of databases available to you. Usually, that's because database's alias can't be found in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Note that this is not your "local" TNSNAMES.ORA, but the one that resides on the server. I guess you aren't using Forms 6i or lower, are you? They were client-server, so - yes, you'd copy everything to each client. When forms are deployed to web, you use IAS or WebLogic server.
To illustrate what's going on: that's as if you wanted to call someone on the phone, but can't find their name in a phonebook.
Therefore: make sure database is known and its alias is in TNSNAMES.ORA which is used by your database.
You might have several TNSNAMES.ORA files, so it depends which one will be used. I'd suggest you to maintain only one copy of the file; it should then reside in a directory (folder) on the server whose location is stored in TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
As the title states, if I connect to my heroku posgresql DB via pgAdmin4 I see many other databases which I am not allowed to access.
I know there must be a restrction DB field somewhere but I cant find it.
In pgAdmin4 its not in the advanced tab as stated here:
StackOverflow similar Question pgAdmin3
Actually, you can hide the rest of databases.
When you fill in all credentials and connections parameters for the serevr, in order to avoid parsing so many databases, we have to white list only those databases we care about.
Go to the Advanced tab and under db restriction copy the database name (it’s the same value as the Maintenance database field filled earlier). Remember - you have to set up this parameter BEFORE you hit "Save" as you cannot modify this field after saving.

You're probably using a Hobby-Dev or Hobby-Basic database. These used shared infrastructure. Although you can see the other (obfuscated) DB's in the list, you do not have access to them. To avoid seeing them, specify the DB name in your connection settings in pgAdmin.
i try to use Datagrip as my primary sql server query tools, bit i meet a problem that i can not move forward.
When i setup the project data source, i have to choose a Database, otherwise it will goto the default tempdb, how i can work like sql server management studio, that i can see all database list.
i have tried both jTds and Microsoft drivers, both not works.
or can i choose multi-database? i do not want to create one data source for one database.
if i connect to mysql, it works like expected.
tks
It is possible to connect without specifying the database. Just leave this field blank. After entering other settings (host, port, user, password), go to Schemas tab in Data Source properties and select all the Databases and schemas you want to work with. Then invoke Synchronize action for this Data Source in Database tool window.
DataGrip 2016.2 EAP claims to have support for showing multiple databases. See https://blog.jetbrains.com/datagrip/ and find for "Database View". Unfortunately, as of the date I'm writing this, it doesn't seem to work at all.
Unfortunately, Andrey's suggestion did not work for me.
I'm working on a Windows application. When I give this software to the client it is necessary to give database also? I want to lock the database of SQL Server on his computer so that he can not open that database or copy or view its schema or anything by which he can access that database.
When he tries to access that, it must ask for a password. So, what is the solution for the above?
SQL Server databases cannot be password-protected - they're not just files that get opened (like dBase or SQLite)
"normal" access control is handled via permissions and users - you can define who can see what, modify what, delete what
This does not however prevent a system admin from looking at your database schema and contents; there's really no way to prevent this, a sysadmin can also just copy the .mdf file to another server and attach it there and circumvent all your "security"
if you really must hide all of this, don't deliver a database - hide the database in your own company and provide a web-service based interface to the customer who can then call those web services to do his work - then the schema and data is under your control, but also: the customer's data is no longer under his control so he might not like that.....
I have some simple VBA to import tables from multiple Oracle databases. I have one ODBC entry, and I connect to different databases using different credentials.
My transfer database code is simple:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC", "ODBC;DNS=source;UID=user;PWD=pass;", acTable, "SomeRemoteTable", "MyLocalTable", True
That code works, but when I run the same command with a different user/pass immediatley after this command I get this error:
Run-time error '3011': The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'SomeRemoteTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
Here's the catch:
The DNS, user credentials, and table names are correct. If I open access and comment either line out, then either transfer will run successfully. However, once one command runs, the other will not run until Access has been closed and reopened.
I'm guessing that there must be a way to close the first connection before proceeding to the next. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try?
If the databases are owned by you how about setting up a dblink on one of them to the other ?
You will then only need 1 connection.
