Setup sybase DB connection in SQL developer? - configuration

Can we connect to the sybase db server using SQL developer.
If yes what are the configuration settings we need to make?
Can we use the same tnsname.ora file in the Oracle directory or do we need to install a sybase client seperately for getting connection informa

In Oracle SQL Developer 3:
You need to download the "JTDS JDBC Driver" extension via Oracle SQL Developer's GUI under Tools / Preferences. The description of this extension only mentions Microsoft SQL Server, but it can also be used for Sybase.
Once it's installed, you should see 2 new tabs in the Create Connection dialog: (MS) "SQLServer" and "Sybase".
I did not have to set up a 3rd party JDBC driver (a reference to a Sybase JDBC connector JAR).

You have to configure a new JDBC Driver into SQL Developer.
You can follow these instructions:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/jdbc-migration-1923524.html
Basically you have to download the supported version of the open source jTDS driver (1.2) and then add the jar file in "Third Party JDBC Drivers" on "Preferences".

I got the solution.
We can download the Sybase plugin which allow us to use SQL Developer for Sybase.
Or we can use JDBC ODBC bridge tweaks for SQL developer.
Can be downloaded for free.

Link to download the JTDS driver. Just add it to your Oracle SQL developer and you are done!!

SSIS - Using Attunity connector with Oracle Express Edition

I've been trying to setup a local test environment by installing Oracle Express Edition. I've got a test database up and running and can query that database from Oracle SQL Developer. I then installed the Attunity Oracle connector. I found documentation that said I should install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Oracle Client for Windows, so this is what I did. Actually these are just zip packages that you have to unzip and add to your PATH environment variable. (Apparently the people at Oracle haven't heard of installers.) I then created an SSIS package, added an Oracle Source component to my data flow and created an Oracle Connection manager for it. However, I'm unable to connect to the XE database. The error I receive is 'Oracle Home not found.'
Any ideas? Is it even possible to do this?
VS2015, SQL Server 2014 Express, Data Tools 14.0.61021.0, Oracle Express Edition 11g R2
#Rubio,
You'll need to set your system environment variables for Oracle on the VM or local box you're running the SSIS package if that's where your version of Oracle Express resides. To determine where that is, the directory path should be one level above the bin directory where the sqlplus executable exists.
Here's an example setting: ORACLE_HOME=c:\Oracle\product\11.2.0. You should also set your path to include $Oracle_HOME\bin.
To set your environment variables in Windows, go to the advanced system settings, click on environment variables, add a new one under system.

Preferred ODBC DSN in SQL Server

We are using a third party software which we have to connect to SQL Server. We are using SQL Server DSN connection, but the third party tool suggested that we have to use SQL Server native client DSN for the better performance.
Please suggest which DSN connection would be preferred SQL Server or SQL Server native client.
Yes always try to use SQL server native client for this. you could download this microsoft site.
For 2008 R2 you need to use SQL SERVER NATIVE CLIENT 10.0 and you could download this form download link
you was asking about which DSN connection would be proffered. I think this depend on your sql server version.

how to integrate Odoo with MySQL

I am trying to integrate Odoo(openerp-8) with MySQL on ubuntu server, to get the database access instead of postgresql.
But I am unable to figure out the correct way to do that.
I tried this link, but it didn't help me
http://openerp-team.blogspot.de/2009/08/open-erp-server-with-mysql.html
Any better ideas on configuring odoo with MySQL?
In Odoo apps Store One Free module Available name is "External Database Sources"
This module allows you to define connections to foreign databases using ODBC, Oracle Client or SQLAlchemy.
Database sources can be configured in Settings > Configuration -> Data sources.
Depending on the database, you need:
to install unixodbc and python-pyodbc packages to use ODBC connections.
to install FreeTDS driver (tdsodbc package) and configure it through ODBC to connect to Microsoft SQL Server.
to install and configure Oracle Instant Client and cx_Oracle python library to connect to Oracle.

IBM Worklight database connection

I have installed Worklight Server and with DB2 database, and now I try to migrate an application that has a MySQL database which is obviously not working. Is there any workaround? Do I have to use an adapter to interface the DB2 and MySQL?
A database usually requires a connector driver in order to interface with it.
Had you used the IBM Installation Manager to install Worklight with DB2 database (available to IBM Worklight customers, are you one?), it would require you to supply such a driver, so I will assume - since you did not provide any information on your environment setup - that you are using the Development Edition (Eclipse + Worklight Studio plug-in).
In this case you need to edit the worklight.properties file (can be found in Eclipse under yourProject\server\conf).
Change the database type to DB2 (ucomment it) and supply the required information based on your environment.
The DB2 connector can be download through this page. Get the correct version for your installation of DB2.
Place the driver in the lib folder (can be found in Eclipse under yourProject\server).
If you are in fact using Liberty or WebSphere, see this troubleshooting section with installation instructions for DB2 and more.

Portable ODBC connection driver

Is there any availability to make MySQL ODBC connection driver portable? I develop an application which uses MySQL ODBC ocnnection driver with TADOConnection and everything is working properly on developer's machine, there ODBC connection driver is installed. When I run this application on another machine (no ODBC driver installed) an error raises. Is there any opportunity to include necessary libs to program and make the project independent?
You can bundle the MySQL ODBC driver with your installer (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-odbc-installation-binary-windows.html), but remember that if you're using the free GPL connector you're bound to the GPL, thereby or you release your application (and code) under the GPL as well, or you're violating the MySQL GPL license. To avoid it, you can always buy a commercial license.
ODBC needs a driver since it is an API abstraction over existing database access libraries - see How to explain why ODBC requires a database driver
Since there is no standard way of installing a database driver, you'll have to rely on the driver instructions, which are specific.
For MySQL, if you launch setup -r it would install the ODBC provider silently.
