10g Client with ODT?

I have Oracle client tools from 10g installed on my PC, and I am wanting to use the ODT for VS2010. Is that possible and if so is there detailed instructions somewhere explaining how to do so.
Thanks

This is not possible. VS 2010 was first supported with ODAC 11.2.0.1.2 release. You need this ODAC version or higher.

Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.

10g client with 8.1.7 database

Hi,
I have to use two databases with my PC, 10g and 8.1.7. Which client should I use, 10.2.0 or 8.1.7? Or should I Install both and let the software decide which one to use?
Hoping answers,
Mark

MarkHi and welcome to the forum!
Why you've installed both clients to one machine? To which database are you connecting to? Oracle 8i is no longer supported. Use 10g Client to connect to your databases

10g client with Toad - why bother?

Hi.
I am doing several installations of 10g client yet to get access to the db the machines will use Toad. What does the "light" client contain? Must every machine actually have the client installed? To access the db with Toad / SQL*Plus - what does the client contain that makes it necessary to install beforehand?

Some application use JDBC connection instead of native Oracle SQLNet connection. In that case, Oracle client installation is not required.
Some tools support both types of connection for example SQL Developer,
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
Oracle Instant Client Light (English) support different kinds of connectString, for example,
As an SQL Connect URL string, of the form: //host:[port][service name]
As an Oracle Net keyword-value pair. For example:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=myserver111) (PORT=5521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=bjava21)))
As an entry in the tnsnames.ora file.
So you don't have to configure tnsnames using netca in this case.

Unattended instalation of 10g Client with response file

Hello,
I want to create a response File for an unattended installation, because installing 10g on 150 clients by hand is just to much work...
I tried to create a rsp.-file with the record option, no dice.
I managed to install the client runtime, but now I also need a custom installation with Oracle Windows Interface & Oracle Call Interface.
Any suggestions?
THX in advance

@Madrid
It tried to create a response file with "setup -record -responseFile C:\test.rsp", it records settings like the OraHome, but theres no entry about WHAT products I want to install, I heard that this is a known Bug in 10g Realse 2 10.2.0.1 ?
@orafad
our software developer told me we need the following components:
Oracle Client Runtime
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
Oracle Objects for OLE
Oracle ODBC Driver
Oracle Provider for OLE DB
Oracle Data Provider for .Net
I tried to customize the clientcustom.rsp from the Oracle-CD, but I don't know what names I have to use for the things I need?
e.g. oracle.rdbms.oci:10.2.0.1.0 for the Oracle Call Interface (OCI), but whats the name for Data Provider for .Net?? :(
maybe somebody could post an recorded RSP-file?
thanks for your help

Forms 6i & SRW.Run_Report does not work on 10g client

Hello Sir/Madam,
I'm using 10g client with Forms & Reports 6i.
FORMS 6i error => for some reason this combination is prompting FRM-10102 & FRM-40039 errors
Attempted so far => attached the library, complied, it compiles ok, but somehow loses the library file at runtime
Reports 6i issue => for Reports seems like it does not recognize SRW.Run_report built-in
Attempted to run without "srw.run_report" it works..
Please help me understand if any necessary "*.dll" files are missing? if so what might that be?
Regards,
Vani Sonti

When you install Forms and Reports 6i, the correct Oracle client (8) is installed. I don't know what you did exactly, but you shouldn't try to change that.
You can install the 10g client, but in a separate Oracle home. This way Forms and Reports still use the 8 client.
FRM-10102 & FRM-40039 errorsThat looks like a problem in your forms60_path registry setting.

Install Oracle 9i client on a computer with Oracle 10g Client

Hello all!!
I'm using a computer with Oracle 10g client, and I access two databases. One server has Oracle 10g server, and the other server has Oracle 9i server.
I want to install 9i client, to have it also in my computer. I haver read that I just have to install it in a different ORACLE_HOME, but I have a doubt.
If I install 9i client, would I be able to use the utilities, (exp, expddp, sqlldr) of both versions, or which version will be used in the command line for the utilities.
Thanks a lot!!!

To start with, Home Selector is a "9i thing" (and older), in 10g there's the OUI -> Installed Products... -> Environment tab instead.
About the 9i dbca with other Oracle products installed. If you use launch.exe to start via dbca start menu shortcut, it uses ora92\assistants\dbca as working directory ("start from"). So when not looking for "numbered dlls" like oracore9.dll, a later/different version will be loaded if earlier in path, since loading goes through jre directories, ora92\assistants\dbca, then the dir's from path variable. From there it may start to link in libraries from different homes (on my laptop, "launch.exe dbca" uses files from 2 additional home paths!)
But, if you instead use dbca.bat started from ora92\bin, it will look in the right directories first and there's no dll mess-up. (But only when using the correct cwd!)
Plain and simple: stay very far away from multiple-general-home installs. It is possible to install allright, in different homes and all very nicely, but there will be pain when you decide to use the stuff (perhaps with sql*plus as the only exception, but I've run into bugs with that too).

How can I delete an ODBC data source after 10g client has been uninstalled?

I uninstalled the 10g client and now when I attempt to delete the ODBC data source, I get an error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in Oraclient10g_home2 ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver. I re-installed the client and I get the same error, but I had to specify a new home. I still get the error. Anyone have an answer or a workaround to deleting the ODBC entry so that I can re-create with the same name later under the 9i client?

I have the same problem... and nobody gots the point:
1st. the ODBC and the client/home exists on the machine...
2nd. the client/home is unistalled and so...
3rd. tada! Now we have a impossible-to-unistall ODBC entry!
That is happening on a Windows, at last to me...
Please, help us if someone knows how to remove this ODBC entry... if know how to DO the stuff (permissions, system, all that things is answered above).

Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
(Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
ODBC call failed
[Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

Thank you for your reply.
I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
I found this small comment:
“There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
I tried it and it solved the problem!
With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
Solved.

What is the official procedure to install a 10g-Client on SLES10

Hi,
we are having a server running SuSE SLES10 and we need to have it access a 10g database.
We had a look at the certification-matrix and found that the combination
SLES10/10g-Client is supported by Oracle.
We know this now, but the installer obviously does not:
snip
# /home/oraclient/client/runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4,
UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at
snip
Although I found a way to circumvent the problem (I edited /etc/SuSE-release before installation, changed it back after inst.) - I am eager to know whether anyone
can point me out any "official" Oracle-Page describing how to install.
The installation guide does not help. I searched the forum and found you can
start the installer with -nosysprereqs.
But where can I find official information how to install? The problem is that I have to document everything I do, and this documentation is monitored closely, so I do not want to use any tricks that are NOT explained in a whitepaper or something similar. I
have to show that what I did is supported.
Any help welcome
Arno

You are right, installation guides (and corresponding check routines) are sometimes not up-to-date. Always check Release Notes for newer (and official) statements:

On Windows 2003 64-bit, Which 10g Client to Install ?

hello again,
I have a server with the Windows 2003 Enterprise 64-bit operating system.
I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise onto the server.
I noticed there are 2 install folders for the 10g Client R2 - one is R2 x32 and the other is R2 x64. I want to be sure I install the best, most problem-free version of the client.
Are there any known issues with using the 64-bit client? Sorry for the lame question - I googled and didn't find much.
Thanks, John

That's correct. And the primary application that will be installed is 32-bit. But I don't think it needs to interact with the client tools at all.
We are upgrading the server from 32 bit to 64, the OS and the database from 9i Enterprise 32 bit to 10g Enterprise.
I may just install the 32 bit client to avoid any problems.
Thanks, John

Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.
