Instant client for Oracle 8.1.6

Hi, I need some previous version of instant client for ODBC. Current version needs at least Oracle 8.1.7. Is it possible to download ODBC instant client with support for 8.1.6?
Thanks
Paja

In my testing, the 10g full client will only connect to 8.1.7.4 and later databases. I beleive the 10g Instant Client would have the same restrictions.
If you have an 8.1.6 back end, you would need to install a 9i full client to connect or to purchase a third-party wire-protocol ODBC driver that supports 8.1.6. The Instant Client is a new 10g feature.

  • 64-bit Instant Client for Oracle 9i

    Based on what I've read here, it looks like there are no Instant Clients for prior to 10.1.
    - Is this correct?
    - Does a 10.1 Instant Client work for accessing 9i databases?
    Thanks

    Yes, and yes. Except that the database should be 9.2, as connections to 9.0 are desupported.
    Yours,

  • Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X

    Hi all, this is my first post here (so I don't know if it's the proper place, but to try it is free. Sorry for any inconvenience).
    Anybody, can confirm/explain why, one year after launch, there isn't one available download of Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X?
    Without it's impossible, for example, to compile PHP with OCI support under Intel MacOS X (native mode) and it's really a pain.
    With PPC version existing since ages, wouldn't be absolutely easy to recompile that cool stuff for Intel MacOS X?
    TIA and ciao, Eloy Lafuente :-)

    Hi again...
    just to know a bit more... two months later... how is customer demand going...?
    Have you searched for "macos x instant client intel" ?
    Aren't PHP/Perl/Ruby applications enough?
    I sincerely think it's a big mistake to don't offer native connectivity for MacOS X Intel users... of course, your mistake.
    Some developers, like me, will stop developing/improving Oracle support in their applications just because they use MacOS X to develop. So, those applications won't run ok under Oracle, no matter where you deploy them.
    With thousands of applications running natively under MacOS X Intel... isn't there (@ Oracle) able to recompile that tiny piece of software to run under Intels... sorry but I cannot believe it.
    I'll email SJ right now! Ciao :-)

  • Failed to install php-oci8 with instant Client for linux 64

    Hello,
    I have a 64-bits Linux box with RHEL4, and PHP version has been upgraded from 4.3.9 to 5.1.6. I try to make the connection to remote oracle server.
    I download instantclient-basic-linuxppc-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip , and follow the instruction to
    install it.
    But when i try to install php-oci8*.rpm, no matter which i use:
    php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386.rpm or php-oci8-4.3.9-2.2.el4.i386.rpm
    The installation always failed due to dependencies errors with oracle instant client.
    I also tried with some other packages like: php-oci8-4.3.9-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
    All my tries gave me dependency errors.
    sometime like:
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libclntsh.so.10.1 is needed by php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386
    oracle-instantclient = 10.2.0.3 is needed by
    php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386And I cannt find the right RPM for oracle instant client for linux 64 bits box, and php-oci8 5.1.6 64 bits.
    I have been trying on this problem for more than one week, and so frustrated. I will appreciate if I can be guide on this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

  • 11.1.0.6.0 instant client for x86_64?

    hy,
    since some day's the 11.1.0.6.0 for x86 linux is out. I need the DRCP Feature for PHP and I didn't want install the big client on every server.
    My Problem is that I have an x86_64 system running. Does anybody know where I can find an 11.1.0.6.0 instant client for x86_64 linux?

    Like you've said, the release for Linux x86 platform is out. The Database products was recently released for Linux x86-64, so I guess we can just wait and see. You could check the IC downloads pages until it happens:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
    Is your app (PHP in this case) designed to make use of DRCP features?

  • When Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 and HP-UX PA-RISC 32 are released?

    Does anyone know when Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 might be release?
    and also, Instant Client for HP-UX PA-RISC 32 ?

    There isn't much to check. This is the Instant Client and it was downloaded specifically for the 32-bit PA-RISC platform. The "documentation" simply says I should set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable to include the directory where I unzipped the files. It is obviously looking at the libraries when I load my application, otherwise I would get a different type of error message along the lines of "missing Oracle client". FYI, This is not one of the newer 8x00 chips which support 64-bit addressing, but that is the point of the 32-bit option. I assumed this was compiled for my platform (which more specifically is an HP PA-RISC 7300LC 160MHz processor with 768MB RAM). I know this isn't the most modern box, but I would like to have a simple lab environment for my ERP application and save the hassle and additional expense of aquiring a 64-bit compatible workstation. I figure what I have works well with my application, and there is no 9i 32-bit client...so why not try the 10g Instant Client which should be backwards compatible with my database. BTW, the database is not running on this box, it's on a remote server which does support 64-bit and happens to be running Oracle 9.2.0.4.

  • Instant client with Oracle 8i server

    I am pretty new to Oracle.
    I just installed instant client on my xp workstation, and set up all the variable. I am trying to connect to a Oracle 8i server.
    Can instant client connect to Oracle 8i?
    Thank you!

    Although the 10.1.0.3 instant client for windows doesn't appear to be "officially out", if I try to download
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/instantclient/instantclient-basic-win32-10.1.0.3.zip and similar files, the files do exist.
    Unfortunately this version still can't connect to my corporate Oracle database:
    Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0, 64 bit - Production
    With the Partitioning option
    JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
    Oh well, back to a full client install of Oracle 9i.
    Perhaps the official release when its documented on the Instant Client download page will work.

  • SQL*Net Client for Oracle 8i/9i ?

    Hi..All,
    Where do I download just the SQL*NET client for ORacle 8i/9i. ?
    Regards

    I have the same question: is there a stand-alone
    installer for SQL*Net?No.

    I need this for a Windows 2003 Server x64 platform.
    The link provided just goes to the client, which is
    far too large to transfer over my VPN connection to
    a remote host.The alternative is the 'instant client'. You MIGHT be able to use that.

  • Clients for Oracle XE?

    I have downloaded and installed oracle express edition on my windows xp. I am using it to learn Oracle. I see that you can execute queries through the web interface using the menu SQL commands. Also you can connect to it using 'SQL command line' program.
    I am wondering is there some more user friendly client with which I can connect to the Oracle database and execute queries and pl/sql?
    I saw something like iSQL*Plus but I do not know from where to download it?
    I downloaded files from here
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
    but they are only zips with dlls and jars in them. I do not know what to do with them?
    How can i download and install this iSQL*Plus or other user-friendly client for Oracle?
    I know my question is probably very lame but thanks in advance... :)

    Any client that can interact with Oracle's Networking protocol - often called SQL*Net or Oracle Networking - can be used. In the past it was necessary to download this and use a complex install and configuration to get Oracle Networking up and running.
    The 'Instant Client' is mainly a much simplified Oracle Networking component that sits on the database 'client' machine and acts as a bridge between most 'Oracle Networking'-aware ap[plications ans the database.  As such it is an 'instant setup for the client', and it is easy to understand your confusion.
    In fact, any ODBC aware client will generally work if the correct ODBC configuration and drivers are obtained - these will 'talk to the database' perhaps using the 'Instant Client'.   Thus, even MS Access or Excel could be used. 
    My personal preference is SQL*Plus, followed closely by SQL Developer.  SQL Developer is GUI oriented even though it still requires typing, rather than painting, the SQL statements. 
    However, becoming comfortable with typing the commands, in conjunction with books like the O'Reilly 'Mastering Oracle SQL', unleashes a [u]lot more power than typical 'graphical filters and joiners' are able to accomplish. The Oracle SQL language is absolutely amazing, if one takes the time to learn it..
