User want me to update Lotus Notes data through an excel file. One way for me to do this is to import the excel data read through it then do an update. Unfortunately my machine (Windows 10) has no ODBC of Lotus Notes(8.5 ver) therefore I cant connect to the DB and do some update queries. Tried to search in google but I cant find any LN ODBC installer. Does windows 10 still support this ver. of Lotus Notes? Also, is there any other way that I can update the LN Data through imported excel data?
Thanks in advance for your response.
The Notes ODBC driver has always been an extra installer that has to be downloaded from IBM. You need credentials and a passport advantage contract or something similar to be allowed to download the driver. But there are a lot better ways to update Notes Databases from an excel file: use COM or OLE classes to directly write to the database.

I have a .dmp file (export from an Oracle DB) I need to get data from. I have installed Oracle 11g Express Edition successfully, with user SYSTEM and imp command I imported the file, with some warnings though, but now after hours of searching the Internet, I still have no idea how to explore the DB created by that file.
Can explain to me how to do that or at least point me to some relevant documentation, please? This is the first time I use Oracle.
Thanks!
Update: I already tried with Oracle SQL Developer. I use the user SYSTEM that was created automatically when I installed XE
I have installed vmware player and added the disk file to it. Teradata studio is already installed in it. Now, I want create a database of good size to perform bulk load types in Teradata.
Where can I get the sample database?
I assume that you are asking about the software part to create an instance of Teradata database. If you have VMware downloaded from Teradata for evaluation purpose, it is already installed and configured. You just have to connect with your Studio.
If you are trying to create a virtual environment on your own, then you need to download the Teradata software and install in machine which will create a database. After installing the software you can configure and connect with Studio.
Teradata Express comes with toy data (Samples database) but only up to version 14. From version 15 it is (oddly) removed.
Your VM-Ware is fully configured. Sart your TD-Studio and connect to it.
From VM-Ware's TD-Studio it is TDPID: localhost od 127.0.0.1 User dbc pass dbc
There are no more sample databases in Teradata Express, but I published several data sets on GitHub, see the blog on Teradata Community
I'm trying to find out how to connect to a FileMaker Pro 9 Database file (*.fp7) with ODBC. I followed the manual and installed the ODBC driver which now shows up as "DataDirect 32bit SequeLink 5.5".
However I can't find any instructions on how to connect to the Database File. I want to use LibreOffice Base (and maybe later on create my own app) to access Filemaker tables.
Any help would be appreciated! (Please note that I'm new to Filemaker as well as to ODBC)
You need the ActualTech software to connect to the database: http://www.actualtech.com/scenario_ess_setup.php
I don't know if it is down compatible with FileMaker 9 but you might want to upgrade to FileMaker 13 at this point.
They guys at ActualTech are also very helpful.
Once you installed it, you can set up a DSN in the ODBC manager.
I have an Access 97 database that serves as a front-end, via ODBC and linked tables, to a MySQL database, running under Wiin7-64. (Yes, it does work!) The database contains info about places of worship and pilgrimage in the part of France where I live. In addition, I have tens of thousands of photos of the sites in Photoshop Elements 9. The underlying database engine of PSE9 is SQLite, and interesting data about the photos is there (titles, which ones I like, etc.). I would like to link from Access to the tables in the SQLite database as I do to the MySQL database.
My problem: I am unable to create an ODBC connection to the PSE9 SQLite database. I have done multiple searches via Google, read multiple posts at stackoverflow and elsewhere, tried various suggestions, and still no ODBC connection, neither in the 32bit or 64bit ODBC tools of Win7-64. I'm stumped.
So far, I've
downloaded sqliteodbc.exe from http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ and run it (multiple times)
copied sqlite3odbc.dll, sqlite3.def, sqlite3.dll, and sqlite3.exe to the \windows\system32 folder
entered this command at the Windows command line: "rundll32 c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll,install", which produced this error message "Copy c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll to c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll failed."
When I look at the ODBC and ODBC (32-bit) windows, I don't find a User DSN, System DSN or File DSN for SQLite. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Harvey in balmy Bordeaux
Whats with all that copying dlls around - you don't need to do any of that. Just download the 32 bit version and double click on it - the driver will be installed. Then find the 32 bit ODBC Administrator (note there are 2 on 64 bit windows and only one is 32 bit), fire it up and create a DSN. You should see sqlite3 in the drivers tab.
DSNs are not there automatically, you have to create them yourself. There should be an "Add" button in the ODBC administrator. Then you select the type of driver "SQLite", and then configure the details in the next dialog.
A DSN normally contains all the configuration information needed to connect to a specific database instance so that all this - which may be different from one database system to the other - can be referenced by one name. That is where the name "Data Source Name" comes from.
In an xpage I would like to import data from another server and system with odbc (to a Lotus Notes View)
How could I do this ?
(NotesSQL does as far as I understand the opposite)
I guess I need to install DECS.
but then in the help file I found :
To load the DECS server task, the real-time extension manager library variable must be set in the notes.ini file
Domino is running on a linux server. What's my library variable then ?
I don't think DECS has much to do with this, particularly since you are talking about XPages. As suggested in these two previously-answered questions, you should probably be using the OpenNTF Extension Library:
Lotus Notes XPages for design and Oracle (or other RDBMS) for
data
(Xpages) SOA or Direct Database Access
