Connect to Oracle 11g using VS2010.net Drivers/Cleints - vb.net

Hey all i am trying to redistribute my app that uses Oracle 11g:
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client
The problem i am having is that it will not run on a machine that doesnt seem to have the correct drivers that its looking for. When i install ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio on the test VM it works just fine but thats a 230+mb file to download and install! Not to mention that if the user already has Oracle 10/11g on their machine that it may mess up their current connections/etc by installing that setup file.
Is there another setup package that i can install that only has the Oracle Data Provider for .NET 2.0 11.2.0.2.0 or whatever its needing from that ODAC 11.2 Release 3 file.
So any help about what i need to go about fixing this problem would be great! :)
Thanks,
David

assuming you are on a 32bit environment you ought to be able to use the
ODAC112021Xcopy_32bit.zip 50.5 MB (53,019,552 bytes)
the corresponding 64-bit
ODAC112021Xcopy_x64.zip - 53.3 MB (55,955,853 bytes)
the files are smaller than the ODT tools but they work. Here is a dated (but it should get you on the correct track) how-to

Oracle Data Modeler Scripts Stopped Working

The scripts in newer Oracle Data Modeler seems to have stopped working. Even though the Oracle Nashorn is selected as the Scripting engine, it's not working with the newer version of data modeler. Not sure what settings needs to be enabled for the scripting to work?
This is for version 21.4.1, the one which was release in December - 2021.
I have the same issue with Oracle Data Modeler 21.4.1.349
OS host is Oracle Linux 7
JDK is 1.8.251
After updating version of Data Modeler I got error message after try run of Design Rules "Oracle Nashorn scripting engine does not exist. Script evaluation is terminated.".

How to install pentaho community edition Server on ubuntu 18.04?

I have followed the steps in http://wiki.joanillo.org/images/1/11/Community_user_guide.pdf but I am unable to run the server
That document refers to version 3.x of Pentaho. Current version is 8.2. The doc is out of date by several years.
There’s no folder biserver-ce anymore, it’s now called pentaho-server. The script’s name is still the same.
You will need a JDK installed (1.8 or above, and if you install Pentaho 8.2 you should use openJDK)
i hope you have started the server, if not run this file using terminal /pentaho-server/start-pentaho.sh ....
please provide the log it will be in the path pentahoserver->tomcat->logs->catalina.out

How to specify Java Home/JDK in Oracle SQL Developer?

With reference to the above-mentioned title, the path has been given at the time of opening SQL Developer for the first time. Now I need to change the path.
Can anyone help me or guide me to do this?
It depends on on your operating system.
Windows:
User, AppData, Roaming Profiles, sqldeveloper, VERSION, product.conf
Note for the Version value: if you're on version 4.0, you'll see 1.0 as the top level directory. After that you should see things like 17.3 or 18.2.
Linux & OS X
$home/.sqldeveloper, product.conf
Open file, update your Java Home.
Make sure you're pointing to an Oracle Java JDK - we don't support OpenJDK today.
Latest version of SQL Developer expects a Java 8 JDK.
Version 19.2 or higher will also work with 11 or Oracle JDK 12.
In the same folder, Roaming, delete all older SQL Developer folders. When you upgrade SQL Developer version, Java will first look in these folders.
In my case, I browse the java path as
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.8
It worked for me, please try it out if you need

Run MS SQL Server Express on Linux Mint

I am aware that MS SQL Server 2016 is compatible with Linux. Despite this flavor of SQL, I am needing to run SQL Express for training purposes. Is there a method to successfully operate Microsoft SQL Server Express in the Linux Mint environment?
I think this is an interesting question and shouldn't be marked down. After searching online, i came up with his tutorial on setting up mssql server on linux. I tested on linux mint 18.1.
http://www.tecmint.com/install-ms-sql-server-centos-ubuntu-linux/
I installed MSSQL 2016 on Ubuntu last night. Mint is Debian based so it 'might' work. The instructions are here ...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-ubuntu
The installation process is very simple - in fact it literally took seconds, since it uses the familiar apt-get install package manager install which is available with Mint. One thing to be aware of is the requirement for openssl needs version 1.0.2 - this caught me out. I tinkered around trying to upgrade to the correct version on my ubuntu server and did have the correct version installed but MSSQL still would not install. So I created a 16.04 version of ubuntu and then it installed easily. I'm not sure if my comments qualify as an 'answer' but I'd just try and install it as if you have the dependencies I would think you'll be okay.

Firebird on WinCE not working

I created an application for WinCE using Lazarus and Firebird embedded.When I run it on my PC,it works correctly, but when I compile it for WinCE/arm and run it on my WinCE device, I become the following
error:
"Can not load Firebird client library fbclient.dll.Check your installation."
I have this file in the project's directory,but it does not work.
Maybe I must use another version of Firebird embedded or fbclient.dll (for WinCE)?
Thanks!
There is no official WinCE/arm version of the fbclient.dll, nor of fbembed.dll. Most likely you are currently using a Windows/x86 version of fbclient.dll. There is fork for CE of Firebird 1, but that seems to have been abandoned in 2002.
See FirebirdFaq: Does Firebird work on WinCE?
