Oracle-style exception handling in SQL2000

Hello!

I'm working on a project that migrates an Oracle based DB application into SQL2000 server.

The original version of the application uses the Oracle exception-handling mechanism. In SQL2000 I wasn't able to find exception handling. Of course, there is an error handling mechanism, but it is far less sophisticated.

The raised error doesn't exit the procedure, neither propagate the "error state" through the whole call-stack, which means that I have to simulate the exception handling by putting error check after virtually all the DB access statements, which is a painstaking job.

Is there any better solutions?

Thanks for your help!

BalageNope..

If @.Error_Out <> 0
BEGIN
Select @.Error_Loc = 1
Select @.Error_Type = 50001
GOTO Load_Ledger_Init_sp_Error
END

If @.Month1 = '99' Or @.Month2 = '99' Or @.Month3 = '99'
BEGIN
SELECT @.Error_Loc = 2
SELECT @.Error_Message = 'Month Not set for File name. Check System Variables. Values are: '
+ ' Proof_Year=~' + @.Proof_Year + '~'
+ ' Proof_Quarter=~' + @.Proof_Quarter + '~'
SELECT @.Error_Type = 50002
GOTO Load_Ledger_Init_sp_Error
END

One check for system error, one for business logic error|||We are a small company and we specialise in Database Migration. We have our toolbox that we have developed after long years of research and experience. However, even then, there were these hard nuts that we could never crack.

Of late, we have found a powerful utility in a product called Vaman DataServer. This product is essentially a DBMS, but what sets them apart, is their utility to migrate data from any source to any destination. I was a little sceptical to begin with, but eventually I figured that this tool is a nifty little thing that every migration company can use.

Right now it is free, but we are in talks with them for a commercial version, which they say migrates DDLs as well.

Oracle Error When running Niku Clarity with MS JDBC

Hi All

I get a very strange error when running the JDBC in WAS6.0

This is running the Clarity 7.5.3 Application
Failed to verify database: Io exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:134)

Any ideas

Not sure that I understand the scenario here. The Microsoft 2005 JDBC driver is a type 4 Sql Server driver. The only databases supported are Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005.

After working with the CA Clarity system now for some time, it is apparent that they just did not change the code to reflect another vendor, so the Oracle errors are realy just database errors

Just another case of Oracle coders thinking that their code will never move to MS SQL...

Oracle Client Exception

Hi,

I've been working with MS XP OS and Oracle Client 9i (9.2) and my project was working properly. In another machine with the OS: MS Windows 2003 Server SP.1 and Oracle Client 10g I'm getting the error "System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater " when trying to open a connection.

Please help,

thnx

Hi,

YOu either have the Oracle client not installed / the installation is messed up and you will have to install it again or it could be based on the following issue:

I had a similar problem with Reporting Services trying to access an Oracle 9i db, this response from Robert Bruckner helped:

Re: 2005 Reporting Srv cannot connect to Oracle datasource on web server

Posted by Robert Bruckner MSFT in SQL Server Reporting Services

Most likely the RS web service and the RS windows service cannot access the Oracle client installation due to missing file system permissions. Please r! ead the following KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;870668
