Problem new instant client 10.2.0.3 basic lite win32

I use the instant client 10.2.0.2 on a w2k/IIS5 machine with no problems at all.
I used "instantclient-basiclite-win32-10.2.0.2-20060508.zip", followed the instructions and it works fine. I use in an ASP page a connection string to use with OLE DB (Provider=MSDAORA; etc. etc)
On a second machine i downloaded a newer version 10.2.0.3. (instantclient-basiclite-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip)
As described i followed the same instructions but it would not work. When i use the older on on the new machine it works perfect.
Back to the new version, i got this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
2147467259
Oracle client and networking components were not found. etc. etc.
I came to the following:
In the ORACLE_HOME folder (in my situation: C:\Oracle\instantclient_10_2)
I have added the following files to the Bin folder, i got those files from the 10g client cd.
\Bin
oracore10.dll
oranls10.dll
oraunls10.dll
orauts.dll
After that i got a new error:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019"
Then i added the foloowing files to ORACLE_HOME:
\rdbms\mesg
oraus.msb
The error became clearer:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side"
I added more:
\oracore\zoneinfo
timezlrg.dat
timezone.dat
Finally i got it to work. I don't know why the instant client is behaving like this. The 10.2.0.2 version cannot be downloaded anymore.
Has someone experienced the same problem? I just want to work with the package as it was downloaded from Oracle, i doubt it was intended to add files from different version. I learned with filemon,regmon and depends from sysinternals that de instantclient looks for other files that arent in de instant client package. Probaly it does not need al the file to work. I have read that when using the file: \rdbms\mesg\oraus.msb can lead to serious performance problems, as it looks for the file many times when quering. I guess this file is only for explenation of errors.
This file can be left out, it work without it.
I hope someone can help me.

For what it is worth, I am having a similar problem with an application I support. When I upgraded from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.3 to fix a performance problem, we now have this connection problem. If I can not get a good solution for the InstantClient I will have to start using the Full 10.2.0.3 Client and I am not looking forward to deploying that.

Problem with Instant Client 10.2 with ODBC and Studio 6.0

Has anyone else had the issue of not being able to make a second connection after the first connection has been closed and the free HENV is called via the object distructor? What actually fails is the second time thru the SQLDriverConnect call returns -1. If the connection object is a global but close is still called it will work. So this leads me to believe the problem might be from the SQLFreeEnv call in the distructor.
If I run test using the 10.1 Instant cleint it works fine. I have included some code that I use to test with below.
I am using:
XP Pro sp2
Visual Studio 6.0 sp6
Instant Client 10.2

Problem using instant client with Win 7

Hi,
I have a Powerbuilder application that runs very well with Win XP and Oracle client 8 to 10.
With new computers (Win 7), we try to use instant client... but there are problems with accents ! In fact, all accents are replaced by a "¿" in the database.
It only appears when we are using our programs from a Win 7 machine with instant client.
Do you know if there is something to configure to solve this problem ?
Best regards.

If the characters only appear on certain clients, then they are NOT being "replaced ... in the database". What you are seeing is an issue with presentation, not data.

These days I very seldom use ODBC for Oracle - most recently it was simply to get Enterprise Architect to "talk" to Oracle. I never used it for my client applications (unlike in the fast distant past), so what I know about ODBC is seriously outdated.
Even so, a few comments. :-)
Have you tried creating a user DSN, in case a system DSN somehow works different environment wise?
The above error description sounds like the original TCP connection was successful (i.e. it is not a host unknown or not reachable error). Subsequent packets seem to fails.
To confirm, run the listener on namesrv1.xy.zz.com with logging enabled and have a look at the listener.log - does it show a connection being accepted/handled from your PC when you use the ODBC DSN?
Have you tried the Oracle ODBC drivers? When getting EA connected I had problems (also with Instant Client) and Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. Downloaded and installed the Oracle ODBC driver and it worked just fine first time around.
PS. You should raise this topic on the Instant Client Forum instead.

Problem using Instant Client 10g with PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian Sarge

Hello,
My current email is [email protected]
I am trying to use PHP on Debian box using Oracle 10gR2 on a RH 4 server. Everything works fine individually, but I cannot get PHP4 to use InstantClient to connect to the Oracle Server. This is what I've done:
Oracle 10gR2 works fine on the RH 4 server. Listener is running and all required OS security is in place and works (TCP_wrappers, etc.).
Client machine runs Debian 3.1 (Sarge). It works fine and SSH connectivity to RH4 server works.
Instant Client 10gR2 installed on Debian client and works fine. Tested SQL*Plus connection to the RH server. I installed Instant Client from the zip file.
I did have to add libclntsh.so to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to get Debian to use it, though.
Apache2.0.54-5 on Debian client works fine. Web pages on it can be opened in browsers from other machines.
Installed PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian client using following:
./configure --with-oci8-instant-client=<dir of my choice>
--enable-sigchild
I first checked ./configure help and the option with-oci8-instant-client was there.
Configure went well. Log showed checking for Instant Client files.
Ran make. Saw numerous Instant Client message as words scrolled.
Ran make install. Successful.
Restarted Apache2 with following env variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<my Instant Client directory)
TNS_ADMIN=<same directory where I put my sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files).
SQLPATH=<same directory>
I know this is correct because Instant Client SQL*Plus can connect.
Browsers on other machines can view simple php scripts run from the Debian box.
BUT, phpinfo does NOT show an OCI8 section.
phpinfo does show the correct extension directory, though.
Somehow, my PHP4 configure and make is not using the --with-oci8-instant-client option.
I checked $PHP4HOME/ext/oci8/config.m4 file and the verbiage IS in there to use the --with-oci8-instant-client option, either with the default location or the extension_dir location.
I tried using the new ZendCore product, even though it is not certified for Debian. It installed okay but I could not get PHP5 to work. I uninstalled it successfully and redid all of the above.
So, any ideas as to what else I can do here? Other than not use Debian (which is probably the wisest thing to do). And I suppose I could install a thick Oracle client, assuming that Debian would take it. But I prefer the Instant Client.
I tried the PHP ./configure syntax I've seen several places on this forum.
./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,<directory>
This syntax may work on Red Hat machines but it throws a syntax error on Debian and aborts the configure.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, but that did not work. Configure aborts because it cannot find the required OCI8 libraries. The --with-oci8 option is for the Oracle "thick" client. I have only the Instant Client...and am not interested in loading the older client.
I may have my own solution next week, though. I will be loading RH4 on a new server and will then install ZendCore and forget all about using Oracle with Debian.
Update on trying ZendCore on Debian Sarge:
I tried installing it again yesterday. The install seemed go to well, and said it was successful.
It did NOT load PHP5, however. Nor did it load the Instant Client. My previously installed PHP4 and Instant Client remained in my original directories.

Problems installing instant client and ODBC

I am trying to install the instant client and ODBC drivers on an XP machine so I can connect to an OracleXE database via ODBC for an application to use.
I have unzipped the instant client and ODBC drivers to c:\Oracle and added an entry to the PATH statement.
When I attempt to add an ODBC connection I get the error "The Oracle client and network components were not found. The components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle version 7.3 or greater client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed"
Am I missing something in the configuration?
All help appreciated.

did you set your ORACLE_HOME=c:\ORACLE and run the odbc_install.exe?

Instant client 11.1.0.7.0 for win32

I've been told by the folks on metalink that the new version of instant client for windows (which I hope has support for Pro*C apps) is due for imminent release but they can't be date specific, as the OTN and support are two entirely different functions (don't they talk to one another?)
Does anyone here know when it'll be available for download?

user10858876 wrote:
When will there be updated packages for Solaris on x86/x64 systems,
or is this platform not supported anymore?Good question, and one we would like to know.
Due to Oracle's redicoulus NDA for new release versions no one within Oracle seems to be able to tell us, which as a customer we find unresonable. We were told last year, about this time that we should expect a 11gR1 release around Oracleworld. That came and went. Again we asked, and were told that it "might" be comming out as a 11gR2 version.
Fine. We will renew our support agreement when we know you will support our platform.

Instant Client 10.1.0.3 available for most platforms

Instant Client 10.1.0.3 is available for many platforms. Click through to specific platforms on the Instant Client website to see availability. We will try to release the rest of the platforms over the next few weeks, but may be delayed due to holidays in the US.
A notable change in 10.1.0.3 is the availability of the SDK package. These are the header files needed for compiling applications with the Instant Client only (in lieu of using an full Oracle client). There is a demonstration makefile in the package.
Documentation will be released shortly. However, if you are already familiar with developing with Oracle, you should not have any problems.
Another change is the unzipped directory of the packages that includes a X.Y version (10.1.0.3 is in instantclient10_1). This is purely a sanity check to make sure that your unzipped versions will overwrite a patchset of the same major release (the usual intention), but not of a different major release (such as a 10.2.0.1). We hope this helps everyone.
Good luck! Hope everyone enjoys!

The new instant client looks promising on SuSE 9.2.
You need to rework some things, though.
1. setup the dynamic linker:
- add a line "/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib" to the file /etc/ld.so.conf
- then run ldconfig
2. create or copy a tnsnames.ora file:
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- md -p network/admin
- copy a tnsnames.ora from somewhere to network/admin/tnsnames.ora
3. add some environment: edit /etc/boot.local
- add a line: export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- add a line: export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
- add a line: ORACLE_SID=(some TNS name)
4. add another link for convinience
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- ln -s client/lib .
in order to have the so-files also at $ORACLE_HOME/lib which is rather often used in Java-Parameters "-Djava.library.path", for example in JBoss run.sh Scripts.

Oracle Instant Client & Oracle 9i Client Co-existence

I am having problems installing Instant client with existing Oracle 9i client. Some of our users have Oracle 9i client already installed. In this case, I need to do the following to make it work.
1. Add the Instantcclient dir path
2. Remove oracle_home from registry
3. SET NLG_LANG and TNS_ADMIN env variables.
The main issue we are facing is with TNS_ADMIN. When you set this variable to Instantcclient dir , then both Oracle 9i and InstantClient 10g started using the tnsnames.ora in instant client dir. This is not acceptable , as some of the might intend to use Oracle 9i network/admin/tnsnames.ora file when they use Oracle 9i ODBC driver.
Can you please tell me how to install/configure Instant client 10g with an existing Oracle 9i client. Also, can you send me the ODBC Connection string thats doesn't use tnsnames.ora.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Metalink note 90419.1 describes how to connect to a database without using tnsnames.ora. eg
sqlplus system/manager@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=tiger5.com)(Port=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=V815)))
I cannot use this method when creating an ODBC DSN. I tried the Oracle9i ODBC driver, the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle but not the Oracle10g instant client ODBC driver. I suspect that the long string exceeds the ODBC specification.
I have had some success using a MS-DOS Batch File to launch an application that required the Oracle7 client long after it had been removed from the registry. This could work for the Oracle10 Instant Client
REM set up the environment variables
REM these are local to this application
set ORACLE_HOME=%CD%\oracle7client
set TNS_ADMIN=%ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN
SET ORA_NLS32=%ORACLE_HOME%\NLSRTL32\DATA
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
set API=%ORACLE_HOME%\DBS
path=%ORACLE_HOME%\BIN;%PATH%
REM run the application

Instant Client speed issues?

We have a fairly large set of users that will be soon upgrading from version 8 client to hopefully 10g. I was looking at implementing the Instant Client, as that's much easier to script and deploy to multiple users. Our software development team is concerned that there will be a performance hit on the client side from not having a full version of the Oracle client installed. Some of the software can be database intense, but I don't see the real difference between full and instant if they're just making calls to the database. Has anybody noticed any noticeable speed or performance issues with the Instant Client that they don't get with the full client? Thank you.

Hi,
>>How about anybody that switched from full client to the instant client? Things seem to work the same?
There is no problem.
Instant Client allows you to run your applications without installing the standard Oracle client or having an ORACLE_HOME. OCI, OCCI, Pro*C, ODBC, and JDBC applications work without modification, while using significantly less disk space than before.
Here is a good article for you:

Instant Client Connection Problem - Excel 2007 to Oracle 10g

Dear users,
I would some help to connect Excel to Oracle.
I am using Excel 2007 (32-bit) on Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit. I want to connect to an Oracle 10g database through our local network using ODBC. I need to fetch some data once into an excel sheet.
There are no firewall issues or connection issues between my current machine , as I can connect from my machine, using SQL developer as a local client to the Oracle Database which is on another machine on the network.
I tried to make an ODBC connection but Oracle is not listed as a driver.
I beleive ODBC is the best way to do this, but please correct me if I am wrong.
It is an Oracle 10G database.
I downloaded instantclient-basiclite-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip a
I also downloaded the extra ODBC components: *Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications.
I unzipped both in a folder called C:\instantclient_11_2
The system path included that. I checked after rebooting.
I placed my tnsnames.ora (which I copied from the server) in that folder.
I got ti from the server : D:\Oracle\Ora10gR2DB\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
I ran the exe "odbc_install" and It told me the ODBC was intalled successfully.
When I went the control panel, administrative tools, ODBC
In the user dsn tab
I added a new entry. I chose the Oracle driver (previously it was not in the list)
Used the following values
Data Source name: OracleL
Description 123
TNS Service NAme: I chose fro ma drop down menu our prod environment. (There are two entries with the production name, one in caps and the other in lowercase)
Userid: my username
I tried Test the connection and got this:
Unable to Connect
SQlState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Any suggestions please.
Thnaks in advance.
A.
Thanks for all your help, in advance.

I've got the same problem, running on redhat 7.3, using gcc 3.43, php 5.1.4, instant client 10.2, installed via unzipping the oracle instant clients and being run on apache 1.33. I didn't 'link to pthreads' as I'm not sure what you have to do in order to do this linking. I just run php's configure, make install and let it go and it dies.
Any help would be appreciated.

Instant client on windows 2000, path problems

I have successfully installed the client and all work fine. But from time to time for no apparent reason php script gives an error
"Warning oci_connect (): OCIEnvNlsCreate () failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries."
I checked the environment variables, they are correct.
If you restart Apache, everything starts to work fine. What may be the problem?
(sorry for my English, it's not my native language)

I agree, but this is for the QA group and they generally test the app and access the DB using app only but now for some certain modules they want to check the data in the database but they dont know how to write SQL so they decided to use microsoft sql writer (I never used it :) ) and for that they want to setup odbc and for that they need client, so they are not going to use sqlplus and that why I just wanna install instant client on their desktops.

Sql*plus, instant client problems

I want to connect a linux machine x86 to a server with oracle 9i. So first I wanted to install instant client and I did as is said in the page for basic, sql*plus and SDK packages, but it doesn't work. When I executed ./sqlplus user/pass@connectionchannel in the linux machine, it crashes, without error message.
If I install the windows version and try the connection from a windows machine it works, so the oracle server is working, and there is no problem with the firewalls and so.
I have tried to execute fftrace (to have a kind of log of what programs does)fftrace ./sqlplus user/pass@conn and i saw a lot of lines I paste bellow. I think the last one is read from socket, but I'm not sure and i don't know what to do. I don't know if I can connect without the instant client. I will be very thankfull for any idea you can give me, i don't know what to try.

I thank you your help, but even with the trc file I don't know what can cause the problem, I don't understand what does it mean. I will thank more help. This is the last lines of the trace file related to my problem:

Instant Client Installation problems

I am trying to install the 10g Instant Client to connect to our Oracle database via ODBC in Windows. I have downloaded the Instant Client Basic and the ODBC packages and put them into one folder on my hdd, ran the odbc_install.bat and added the folder to my PATH Environment variable. But when I try to create a new ODBC data source, the TNS Service Names don't make any sense and look like characters not readily found on my keyboard!
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a walk through instruction manual available somewhere?
Please help!!
Many thanks

I'm not sure to be honest, but what I downloaded did not have a setup.exe.
Does what you're talking about allow you to connect to Oracle databases via ODBC? If so, is it downloadble from the Oracle site?
