ODBC Error: Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.

I am getting the following error when I try to run odbc_install.exe with the Oracle 10g Instant Client Lite version 2:
Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.
The 10g Instant Client Lite version (including the missing MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL files) is in the directory. What am I missing here??

Can you detail your configuration? What files are in the directories? Environment variables?

  • Error Compiling php 5.1.6 with Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.5 on Fedora 5

    Hello
    I have Oracle 10.1.0 enterprise database installed on a Windows 2003 server.
    I have another machine that has Fedora Core 5 installed on it. I downloaded:
    Apache 2.2.3
    Php 5.1.6
    OracleInstantClient 10.1.0.5 (base and skdk packages) from technet.oracle.com
    I created a directory called /usr/lib/instantclient10_1 in which I unzipped
    the files for the Oracle Instant Client and the SDK into /usr/lib/instantclient10_1.
    So inside /usr/lib/instantclient10_1 I have:
    all the unzipped filed from the base for the instant client as well as
    a directory called sdk with files inside this subdirectory.
    I compiled and installed Apache.
    I then tried to configure php using the instantclient with the configure option
    --with-oci8=instantclient/usr/lib/instantclient10_1
    The first time I did this I got the error: "link from
    /usr/lib/instantclient10_1/libclntsh.so to libclntsh.so.10
    not found"
    Well I had the libclntsh.so.10 but no such link. So I did the following:
    ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so
    I assume this was OK to do but I found it strange that I had to do this.
    Question #1 - why should I have to do this?
    I then tried to configure php again but got an error that I paste in from
    the debug.log. From this debug log you can see the configure options I gave for
    php as well as the error. It says "cannot find -lirc". Now I did put into
    /etc/ld.so.conf the line /usr/lib/gaim since that is where libirc.so is and ran
    ldconfig but it still complained. When I copied libirc.so into /usr/lib it then said there were
    lots of errors in that libirc.so. The only item in the configure options depending on lirc is
    the with-oci8.  Why does with-oci8 depend on lirc?
    I also tried the above on Red Hat AS 4.0 and got the same errors.
    Question #2 -- what do I do?
    Thank You
    Gail Lange
    Here is the debug.log in the case when libirc.so is just in /usr/lib/gaim:

    To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure. Everything I could find on it had to do with IRC or some kind of remote control thing (for controlling audio/media players). Maybe if Ivan stops by he'll know what it means... he knows quite a lot about the inner workings of many of these libraries.
    http://us3.php.net/install.unix was the most useful info I could find.
    There's also this thread:

  • Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

    Hi,
    on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
    std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
    odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
    as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
    State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
    the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
    open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
    Data source name: Anything
    TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
    User ID: myUser
    then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
    and it works!
    I cannot figure out what's my problem.
    Thanks,
    Roy.

    I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
    SQL> desc test;
    Name Null? Type
    ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
    My character set being used is:
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
    NLS_CHARACTERSET
    WE8ISO8859P15
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
    AL16UTF16
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
    BYTE
    So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
    Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
    To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
    mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> desc TEST;
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
    SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
    Name Null? Type
    attività VARCHAR2(80)
    So in general it should work.

  • CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

    Two questions.
    I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
    When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
    Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
    Second question:  I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
    In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
    Any info helps. Thanks.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Below are the replies to your questions:
    Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
    - Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
    - Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
    - You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
    [https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
    Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
       If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
    Please update with the results.
    Thanks!

  • Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client Error

    We are testing a Oracle Solaris Express 11 Server with the standard Apache and PHP installation. But we need the Oracle Instant client and the oci8 module enabled for our company applications.
    We did this by using ./pecl install oci8 in /usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
    a 32bits solaris (x86) version of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link made.
    envvars:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    he oci8 module installed and php loads it.
    phpinfo(); output:
    oci8
    OCI8 Support enabled
    Version 1.4.6
    Revision $Revision: 313688 $
    Active Persistent Connections 0
    Active Connections 0
    Oracle Run-time Client Library Version 11.2.0.2.0
    Oracle Instant Client Version 11.2
    Temporary Lob support enabled
    When we first view a site there is no problem but very randomly we get the following error:
    OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*
    but when we use echo getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php the output is "/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2"
    now the strange this is as randomly as it appears it disappears we can load the web-page without problems and after a couple of clicks the error is back. if we wait a coupe of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normaly.
    The error appears to be random and we get it over and over agian, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are viewed. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing on the website.
    Is there a fix for this? is this an known bug? It seems strange the instant client works some times and fails a second later without a change in the system.
    Hope someone can help us.
    Edited by: user10978378 on Sep 3, 2011 4:20 AM

    Solved it by compiling apache 2.2.20 into 64bits using:
    CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure enable-so enable-cgi enable-info enable-rewrite enable-deflate enable-ssl
    and compiling php 5.3.8 into 64bits:
    CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs with-gd with-zlib disable-ipv6 with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ with-png-dir=/usr/ with-freetype-dir=/usr/ with-pear with-openssl with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
    and using the 10.2.0.4 instant client.
    there might be a bug in the 11.x ones, they dont seem to work on Oracle Solaris 11.

  • To Find the version of Oracle Instant Client in SAP

    Hi,
    I am a newbie in SAP with oracle. I have planned to upgrade the Oracle Instant Client Version in our systems.
    The following is our system specificatiosn:
    SAP : ECC6.0
    Database : Oracle 10204
    OS : HP-UX 11.23 ia64
    I have the following observations with respect to finding the version of the Oracle Instant client in  SAP.
    a)  As per the SAP note : 819829, the version of the Oracle client can be found using the command "genezi-v" under the path 
    genezi -v
    Client Shared Library 64-bit - 10.2.0.4.0
    System name:    HP-UX
    Release:        B.11.23
    Version:        U
    Machine:        ia64
    b) From the SAPGUI, I have found the version of the DB Client library as  OCI_102 (10.2.0.1.0).
    Following are my queries:
    1) Which of the above methods can be considered to find the correct version of Oracle Instant client in SAP?
    2) If the method b gives the correrct version --> Where does this value is picked up from OS level?
    with regards,
    Arul

    Hello Arul,
    just look at a work process trace file .. you will find a section like this while starting SAP or restarting the work process.
    Loading DB library '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' ...
    Library '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' loaded
    Version of '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' is "700.08", patchlevel (0.110)
    Got LIBPATH=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run:/opt/kerberos/lib:/oracle/client/10x_64/i
    Oracle Client Version: '10.2.0.4.0', (dbsl 701 140910)
    There you can find the actual used client version ... also SAP delivers a file called SAPIC_README in the oracle client directory, which gives you information about the client version and its applied patches.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Triying to intall oracle instant client

    Hi Buddies;
    I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
    I got to create the next:
    Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
    Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
    instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
    oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
    I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
    -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so

    My doubt is, which of them to execute?
    And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
    Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
    May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
    Could somebody help me ?
    Thanks and best Regards;
    Al

    At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
    As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
    Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
    Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
    Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
    Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
    Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
    Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
    Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
    You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
    Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
    You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
    Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
    1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
    instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
    instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
    3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
    mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
    export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
    5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
    /home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
    /etc/tnsnames.ora
    /<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
    Hope that helps.

  • Oracle instant Client and memory

    Hello everybody,
    I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
    In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
    However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
    Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
    Thx in advance.
    Maat

    If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
    extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
    Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
    The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory

  • Oracle instant client 11g doesn`t connect to database 10g

    hi,
    i installed a oracle instant client 11g for windows xp on my pc, because i need a odbc connection.
    I don`nt know this product. I don`t find a tns.ora file, so how can i give them the right parameter for my oracle database and how can i make a odbc connection.
    Is it already the right client?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Nicole

    Thanks
    NicoleODBC sits on top of the Oracle client. (or any other native client of a given db product).
    I don't think the ODBC drivers come with the instant client, though if you can locate a 3d party odbc driver for Oracle, that should work with the instant client.
    Oracle ODBC drivers do come with the full client, but even there don't install by default - at least not up through 10g. In that case you have to select 'custom installation' (which can be done after a basic run-time installation) and select 'windows components'.

  • Redistribution of Oracle Instant Client in a linux distro

    Hello,
    Im one of the Archlinux TUs (Trusted Users, who are packagers for the community repository, i mean, a repository of users packages).
    I want to know if that is possible and legal to redistribute the oracle-instant-client in a binary form (in a pkg.tar.gz - i.e package ) ?
    Some great opensource packages use oracle and it would be great if we could add it to make these packages avaliable to all users.
    For more info about archlinux and AUR (Archlinux User Repositories):

    Your PATH includes "C:\instantclient_11_2;O:\ora11202". This hints that you have multiple versions of Oracle installed, which is common cause of issues.
    Do you need Instant Client?  If you already have an Oracle DB you don't really need Instant Client unless you have a particular version requirement.

  • Imp Exp utility in ubuntu 10.4 with oracle instant client 10

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the imp/exp utility on Ubuntu 10.4.
    I have installed the oracle instant client 10, and I have followed this thread
    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/impexp.htm#CHDDBGDF]
    So, I've set env variable in my .bashrc
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1
    export ORACLE_HOME
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${PATH}
    export PATH
    SQLPATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${SQLPATH}
    export SQLPATH
    Sqlplus works fine, but when I try to use the utility exp/imp
    exp DB_USER/DB_PW@DB_SCHEMA owner=DB_USER buffer=300000 LOG=DB_USER.log FILE=DB_USER.dmp compress=n
    I have the following error:
    No command 'exp' found, did you mean:

    Command 'ex' from package 'vim' (main)

    LuciaHello,
    I had the same problem. It was related to the shell script interpreter being used: it is really a bash script asking to be interpreted as sh. For the impatient, the solution was to change the first line of the script orarun.sh to read as:
    #!/bin/bash
    Explanation:
    1. The script runfixup.sh calls orarun.sh. The latter is the one that fails starting at line 845.
    2. The script is really a bash script as can be seen from the if syntax used. For example at line 191 we see the double equall sign ==:
    if [ "`echo $SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS | tr A-Z a-z`" == "true" ]
    3. The bash man page says:
    string1 == string2
    string1 = string2
    True if the strings are equal. = should be used with the test command for POSIX conformance.
    string1 != string2
    True if the strings are not equal.
    (End of man page excerpt)
    Notice in particular that for a bash script to be POSIX it should avoid the == and just use =
    4. orarun.sh has on its first line #!/bin/sh. On my Ubuntu system, sh is a softlink to dash and the dash man page says:
    s1 = s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are identical.
    s1 != s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
    5. So this script script uses bash syntax but is interpreted by dash. It is possible that this worked fine for the Oracle developer if on their system sh was softlinked to bash (which is often the case). Apparently, one should then be very careful to not use idioms that are not POSIX compliant.
    6. Another solution is to change the /bin/sh softlink from dash to bash. Personally, I was less comfortable doing this (the possible repercussions were wider than the proposed solution above).
    After making the change, the script ran perfectly. I think the best solution is for Oracle to update the script to be POSIX compliant or to identify itself as bash.
    Hope that helped,
    Mark Gaber

    Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
    Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
    Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
    The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
    Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
    Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.
    Yours,
    Laurenz Albe
