Oracle ODBC
Driver 11.2

&nbsp;

DESCRIPTION

&nbsp;

The Oracle ODBC Driver enables applications to connect to
Oracle database from a Windows client as well as from a Unix client that use
Microsoft Open Database Connectivity?
(ODBC) API to read from and write to Oracle databases.

&nbsp;

The Oracle ODBC Driver distribution kit consists of Dynamic
Link Libraries/ shared libraries (for Unix platforms), Windows help file (for
installations on Windows platforms only), a copy of the license and this
product description.? To use an ODBC
enabled application the following software is required in addition to the
Oracle ODBC Driver:

 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3;
 tab-stops:list .5in'>Oracle Database Server</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Oracle&nbsp;ODBC Driver complies with ODBC 3.52
specifications.

 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6;tab-stops:list .5in'>Oracle
 ODBC driver has been enhanced to prefetch LONG/ LONG RAW data to improve
 performance of ODBC applications. To do this the maximum size of LONG data
 (MaxLargeData) has to be set in registry on Windows (also need to add the
 registry key ?axLargeData? in the DSN), and in odbc.ini file on Unix
 platforms manually. This enhancement has improved the performance of
 Oracle ODBC driver up to 10 times, depending on the MaxLargeData size set
 by the user. The default value of MaxLargeData is 0. The maximum value for
 MaxLargeData that can be set by the user is 64KB (65536 bytes). Even if
 the value of MaxLargeData is set to some value greater than 65536, the
 data fetched will be 65536 bytes only. If uses has LONG/ LONG RAW data in
 database which is greater that 65536 bytes, MaxLargeData should be set to
 0 (the default value), which will result in single row fetch and complete
 LONG data can be fetched. Incase the user has passed the buffer less than
 MaxLargeData size in non-polling mode, the data truncation error will
 occur if LONG data size in database is greater than the buffer size.

&nbsp;

This section lists the server software required to support
ODBC enabled applications through the Oracle ODBC Driver.

&nbsp;

Oracle Server 10.2 or higher

&nbsp;

MORE INFORMATION<o:p></o:p>

???????????????????????? ???

1. Post-Installation?????????

&nbsp;

Use the Microsoft(R) ODBC Administrator to configure your
Oracle ODBC Driver data sources on Windows. Refer to the Oracle ODBC driver
help file section entitled Configuring the Data Source. For Unix Client refer
to point-4 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;

2. Data Conversions

&nbsp;

The Oracle ODBC Driver follows the Microsoft(R) ODBC 3.00
Software Development Kit (SDK) guidelines for manipulating and displaying real
and double data types. Precision (the maximum number of digits used) of
SQL_DOUBLE and SQL_FLOAT is 15.

&nbsp;

If double values are stored in an Oracle database precision
for these data types can be much greater than what ODBC currently supports. The
end result will be the loss of precision. For Example:

&nbsp;

???????? A float
data type defined in Oracle with the default precision contains a number such
as:

&nbsp;

???????????????? 123.9991029382123

&nbsp;

???????? When
converted on the Windows Platform the number will drop precision to

&nbsp;

???????????????? 123.999102938212

&nbsp;

This loss of precision may have different behavior for different
applications. For Microsoft Access(R), the user is not allowed to update the
data. Microsoft Access(R) thinks the data has changed, because Oracle has the
value 123.9991029382123 and Microsoft Access(R) now has the original but
truncated number 123.99910293821. Microsoft Access(R) cannot update the row
using the 123.99910293821 truncated number as a selection criteria since that
row does not exist in the Oracle database.?
Only the original row with 123.9991029382123 exists in the Oracle
database.

&nbsp;

In Microsoft Query(R) the display will be incorrect. Lets
take for example the following double precision number to display:

&nbsp;

???????????????? -1.123400000000000E-001

&nbsp;

???????? with
Microsoft Query(R) the number is displayed as

&nbsp;

???????????????? -1.123400000000000E-00

&nbsp;

Microsoft Query(R) makes a call to SQLColAttributes
returning the display size of 22. The format defined in the ODBC SDK for
display of a double precision data is the following:

&nbsp;

???????? Total
22 Length

???????? (a
sign,15 digits,a decimal point,the letter E,a sign and 3 digits)

&nbsp;

Our example contains a total string length of 23 with 16
digits instead of the 15 digits for precision. This is why the data is
displayed wrong.

&nbsp;

In general to avoid precision problems using ODBC, ensure
that data stored in the Oracle database for a double data type conform to the
specifications described in the Microsoft ODBC Programmer's Reference and SDK
Guide.
