SQLSetConnectAttr error : Microsoft ODBC for Oracle, and Oracle 9i client on XP [message #99667]

Had a major problem, but solved it, so am posting here so that someone may benefit.
Attempting to create an ODBC DSN using Microsoft ODBC for Oracle (MSORCL32.DLL of 8/23/2001) on Windows XP (which comes with MDAC 2.7), get the following error:
"Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed"
Problem is that the ODBC settings expect Oracle 8.0 to be used by default. So change the registry to look for Oracle 9 DLLs and DSN creation succeeds.
Need to change 2 registry entries, see HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMSDTCMTxOCI
and change OracleXaLib from oraclient8.dll to oraclient9.dll and change OracleSqlLib from orasql8.dll to orasql9.dll (note: if OracleOciLib is oci.dll do not change it).
(As a reference see outdated Microsoft article Q264012).

When I upgraded from Oracle 9i to 9.2.0.4, I could not do the connection. I applied the changes that Joe suggested to the registry and it worked (even though OracleOciLib is oci.dll). Thanks for the help!

Worked for me too, from Oracle 7.2 to Oracle 9i.

Initial prob was in VBA (Excel) using ADO.. so many red herrings.. creating DSN showed additional error info.

Thanks

I am having similar problems, but I am trying to connect to a different database (Not an Oracle database). How can I change the registry and how do you know what version to change it to? Thanks.

Hi All,

I face the same problem. I get the "Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". I changed the entries as suggested by Joe.....the earlier entries were
OracleXaLib - xa80.dll
OracleSqlLib - SQLLib80.dll

I changed both to oraclient8.dll and orasql8.dll respectively. But it didn't work.

I use the personal edition of Oracle 8. If the ODBC looks for Oracle 8 by default, I wonder why I get the error then.

Any ideas??? Please advise.

Thanks,
Atthu

Worried about changing the registry. My settings are as follows:
"OracleXaLib was value data=xa73.dll" and
"OracleSqlLib was value data=SQLLib18.dll"
...apparently, both 8 and 9i are installed on my server. Oracle 8 client works and 9i does not - giving "Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". Can someone guide?

After changing the registry entries, I get this in the system log:
Application popup: Microsoft ODBC for Oracle : The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation.

You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed.

Thanks Joe. It is a great article. I had faced the same problem on Windows 2003 Server with oracle 9.2. My all other client machines with WIN-XP SP2 AND Oracle 9.2 clients were running fine. But the server was giving the same problem. I tried many solutions but could not worked.

I found your article similar and was really good one. The problem is solved within a minute. It is really amazing. Thanks once again.

I too, tried this today - Feb 11,2009 - but with no results.

I did not yet try rebooting.

But I also had the settings of
"OracleXaLib was value data=xa73.dll" and
"OracleSqlLib was value data=SQLLib18.dll"
------
yeah, rebooted, reattempted - no luck.
I'm also getting an ORA TNS 12535 timeout error with mine, so it could also be attributed to the way I'm going through my company's proxy server I'm thinking, or the way they set their DNS lookups.
