64 bit oracle client VS 32 bit oracle database

if I have 64 bit oracle client installed in a windows host.., can I connect to a 32 bit oracle database?
I thnk yes, right?
thank you

Just curious - How difficult would it be for you to check?

  • 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.

  • How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

    Dear All,
    In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
    it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
    how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
    Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

    You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

  • Which version of Oracle database is certified on  Windows 2008 R2 ( 64-bit)

    We have a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) server.
    I wanted to know which Oracle database version is 100% certified on the above OS.

    Hi Sirini;
    10.2.0.5 is supported - see MOS Doc 1061272.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Client (10.2.0.5) with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)Correct;
    11gR2 is also supported - see MOS Doc 867040.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 – Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)There is a setup on this link:
    Oracle Database 11g Release 2
    (11.2.0.1.0)
    Microsoft Windows (x64) File 1, File 2 (2GB) See All
    I am little bit confused for this, as you mention note and also certification matrix says 11gr2 certfied with Win2008-64 bit. But there is no specific setup like win2008-64 bit, there is only Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
    By the way for 10gR2 on win 2008 64 bit platform there are 2 setups. Those are:
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)
    So i had issue for my client and oracle worker support me to use 10.2.0.4 for my issue, not second setup. So for 11gR2 could be work for Microsoft Windows (x64) but i am not sure %100 coz never tried before.
    i appreciate, If someone share their experience to make installation 11gR2 on win2008-64 bit wiht Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
    All those upper setups can be found at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
    I do not believe 11gR1 is currently certified with Win 2008 R2.Please check below link:

  • Oracle Forms 6i(32-bit)  = Oracle database 10g R2 Windows 2008 R2 64-bit)

    We have Oracle database 10g R2 installed on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) (SERVER1)
    We have Oracle Forms 6i (patch 4a) installed on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit) (SERVER2)
    I am not able to connect from SERVER2 to SERVER1, either through SQLPLUS or FORMS BUILDER.
    Its giving some DLL error.
    Is it because forms 6i (32-bit) cannot connect to a 64-bit database on a 64-bit OS ?

    There might be problems with 8i clients (like forms 6i) if the database uses AL32UTF8 characterset indeed (if you need unicode and you need to run forms 6i use UTF8 instead) but this should not be related to the platform of the database.
    The platform of the database server really should not matter as the forms runtime talks via SQL*Net with the database server and in the end it does not matter if the database runs on linux, windows whatsoever or unix 32 or 64 bit for the client. The only problem you'll encounter is that SQL*Net also changes with versions and thus "older" clients might not be able to communicate with "newer" servers and vice versa.

  • How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

    How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
    Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
    I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
    Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
    I need to know details. Thanks.
    USE master
    go
    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
         @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
        ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
        ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'
        ,@datasrc  = '{System DSN Name}'

        ,@rmtpassword = '{Oracle User Password}'

    You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
    You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

  • Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

    First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation  worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
    (Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
    it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w,  deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
    and
    then
    I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)"  from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
    The values I filled for
    1) Global Database Name :  orcl
    2) System Identifier : orcl
    3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
    4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
    5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
    6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
    Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
    Username : sys/ as sysdba
    Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
    After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

    Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
    Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

    Hi everybody,
    I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
    New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
    Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?
    Thanks for your help

    I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
    New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
    Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?Yes, in export/import, you will create a new database and import. The question is why you want to prefer export/import?
    is it source database 32bit is in different OS platform? If not directly after installation you can upgrade the database. using DBUA

  • Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 CPU hit 100% on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit Hyper-V

    Oracle Environment Detail:
    Oracle Database Enterprise Edition :11.2.0.1.0 (NON RAC, No failsafe)
    O/S:     Windows 2008 R2 64 bit (6.1)
    Specifics: Virtual Server using Hyper-V
    Memory: 9 GB RAM
    Processor: E5540
    Specific about the issue:
    I have two database instance created on this server with ‘memory_target=3600M’ each.
    I am getting into an issue where I find NO activity on database except regular schedule job running using DBMS_SCHEDULER –
    •     Database FULL export DAILY schedule time 7 & 7:30 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 15-20 mins each)
    •     Database FULL RMAN DAILY schedule time 9 & 10 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 35-40 mins each)
    This was set up on Feb 25th 2011. Since then we have encounter CPU hit 100% TWICE in this system at around 8:30 PM (SAME TIME). Both database instance exports keep running and never finish. While RMAN schedule job has NO problem. Mostly everything runs every smoothly without any issue.
    Replicate the issue:
    I am unable to replicate this issue and do not know the cause of the issue.
    Work Around:
    Oracle services shutdown/Server reboot.
    Would anyone know about this issue? Have any information could help? This system will become production soon and want to make sure we have solution for this.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am finding that CPU hit 100% is very specific to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp) used to take FULL database export. I understand Original Export is desupported from general use as of 11g but available for specific need.
    Have anyone faced this issue with 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp)? Please help.
    I have a need to use export utility which gives us migration options.
    Thanks!

  • 64 bit SAP to 32 bit External Oracle Database connectivity failing

    Dear All,
    We are trying to connect to an external Oracle database thru DBCON method. We are able to connect to Oracle server from our IDES server which is a 32 bit server, but when we are trying to connect our development server which is a 64 bit server, the connectivity is failing.
    we copied the correct 64 bit *.lib file to the SAP server but still same result. We are getting the error message - Work Process restarted. Session terminated.
    the Oracle server we are trying to connect is 32 bit, can this create some problem ?
    kindly any one help us in this reagrd.
    thanks in advance,
    Saurabh.

    Hi Eric,
    thanks for the advice but I am a bit confused as where to execute that sqlplus command/query ?
    in the Oracle server or from SAP and what does system/password@DEV means ??
    can you elaborate on this please.
    here i would like to add that we have connected to the external Oracle server using linked server approach of MS SQL (our SAP default database) and so our connectivity is happening till SQL level i.e. I am able to connect to the Oracle and query it using OpenQuery syntax. the problem is appearing when I am trying to connect from the ABAP level.
    kindly suggest as to what can be the solution of this issue.
    thanks
