Connection from Oracle to MySQL on HP-UX 11

[Brecht De Baets]

I have an Oracle database 10g installed on a HP-UX server (HP-UX B.11.23). I want a connection from my Oracle database to a MySQL database on windows webserver (so that I can add triggers on my Oracle tables, that can insert data in the mySQL tables).

How can I do this ?

If you installed an MySQL client on your Oracle/HP server, and granted perms in your MySQL server for inserts from the Oracle host,
this should work I would think.
I would also think that it shouldn't be too dificult to write a Perl script that imports DBI with installed drivers of DBD::Oracle and DBD::mysql, and that simultanuously opens data base handles to both your Oracle and MySQL instance.
So you can easily read from one and insert to the other.

Thanks for the reply, but this looks a bit Latin to me (We are a bit new to the Unix environment).
At Oracle I found a document that mentioned an HSODBC-connection to the MySQL database, but I also don't know how to do this ?

Hey

I presume you are trying to create an Oracle DB link.
As far as I know there is no free way to do this. you have two options.

-install ODBC driver on HPUX (extra costs)and use Generic Connectivity (free)
-use Transparent Gateway of Oracle (extra costs)

I had a similar question but to connect to MSSQL. check this two threads for more infos:

Hope this helps

I have found an ODBC-driver for mySQL on www.mysql.org. Apparently also a driver manager has to be installed. There is one on www.unixodbc.org.
When I try to install the driver manager however, it needs QT, which is also not for free ?

I am following a document from Oracle.
First it tells me to install ODBC drivers from www.mysql.org. This is no problem.
But apparently also an driver-manager has to be installed. They told me to get it from www.unixodbc.org. As I tried to install this manager, I had the message that qt was needed. So I tried to install Qt/X11 Open Source Edition from the trolltech website.
But to install this I need the aCC-compiler,
which I don't have.

Isn't there another way to install ODBC ??

maybe you have luck with this:

I have never tried it

Ok thanks,

When I run ./configure now, I get the following error :

/usr/include/machine/sys/_types.h:65: error: '__fpreg' does not name a type

What does that mean ?

[Dennis Handly]

__fpreg is a builtin type that HP compiler's understand.

[Brecht De Baets]

What can I do to solve this problem ?

>What can I do to solve this problem?

My IPF gcc compiler (3.4.3) likes __fpreg.
Are you using a PA gcc compiler?

[Brecht De Baets]

We have an ia64 machine.
We use a GNU gcc compiler, version 4.1.2.

Where can I get the correct compiler ?

Can you compile a trivial source and then use the file(1) command on it to see what type of object files you get?

When you use "gcc -v --help", do you see "IA-64 options:"?

>Where can I get the correct compiler?

You can get it from DSPP by registering:

Ok,

The configure statement works fine now.
But when I run make, I get the following errors :

kernel/qt_x11.h:64:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
kernel/qt_x11.h:69:23: error: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory

kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp:6020:26: error: X11/SM/SMlib.h: No such file or directory

Where can I get these missing files ?

[Dennis Handly]

These includes are shipped with HP's compilers, X11MotifDevKit is part of B9007AA.

I don't know if there is a opensource version of these.

[Brecht De Baets]

On my HP-UX Application Software DVD, there is a directory B9007AA, but it is empty and
it is not in the list of programs that can be installed from the DVD.
There is, however, a package called HPDesktopDev in the list of programs.

I guess this package doesn't contain the libraries ?

>Application Software DVD, there is a directory B9007AA, but it is empty

You need to purchase the product, perhaps that's why it is empty?

As I said, the headers are in X11MotifDevKit.
