Unknown Database Connector Error

[Gesrix]

I got this error when refreshing a report in Crystal Reports 2008. At first, it works but I don't understand why it will stop working later. What could be the problem?

Hi,
More info please:


What database?
What connection method?
What is the exact error?

Hi, thanks for your reponse.

The exact error is this : 'Unknown Database Connector Error'

Connection is using ODBC.

The database is Oracle 10g.

Hi,
try setting a Oracle Server connection instead of ODBC - far fewer problems and easier to get meaningful error messages if it does not work.

How to use Oracle Server connection? Can you give me some steps?

 

[Turkbear]

Hi,
On an existing report, go to the 'set Database' option and choose the Oracle Server option when given the list of database connections ( it should be there, as long as your workstation has an Oracle client - and it needs one to even use ODBC ( usually)
- Provide the info needed ( username/password/instance )

On a new report just choose the Oracle Server option when starting.
