Anyone installed the Oracle client software on MBP?

Hi there,
I'm running into problems installing the Oracle 10g client software (not the server) on my macbook Pro (Intel)
The instant client installs fine, but it doesn't have the tools I need (sqlldr, imp, exp). During the install the installer gives me a java UnsatifiedLinkError.
Any thoughts? Sorry if I've missed a previous thread on this, but searches turned up nothing.

So do u mean if we have SQLPLUS on the box, it implies that client tools are installed ?
and the SQLPLUS.exe is the one that indicates the existance of client tools on a box and this has to be present on the box to say that the clinet tools are installed.
Can we have client tools on the box with out SQLPLUS.?

  • How do we determine the version of the Oracle CLIENT software??

    I am sure someone in a large organization has had to deal with this...
    We have hundreds of machines in our environment and over the years have loaded the Oracle client software on many... So now I am looking at implementing the July set of Oracle Security patches and there are patches for the Client machines in this release...
    Looking at our list, we have machines with oracle 8, 9 and 10 (and almost every subversion known to Oracle) Clients out there... and of course each of these versions and sub-version use a different patch for windows...
    so the question is, is there a quick way of identify exactly what version of the software is loaded... preferably programmatically... Running SQL*Plus on each machine manually is probably not an option.
    We already have software that can scan each machine identify if a specific program is loaded and it's size and maybe pull the contents... (I know there is a $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml file in 10g that might tell us what we need to know, but I don't know if it goes back to 8/8i or not...)
    This would also help me plan a migration plan for some of these older clients also...
    Thanks.

    This is a little late, but may be it will help someone else in the future.
    There may be an easier way, but this is what works for me.
    Log into ADI. Go to the Request Center. Click the ‘tool’ icon.
    It looks like a hammer and screwdriver.
    On the next screen, look in the bottom left corner.
    It will show the version of ADI.

  • Has anyone installed the samsung 840 pro in MBP mid 2009?

    Hi All,
    My macbook doesnt work anymore because the HDD gave up. I now ordered the samsung 840 pro ssd. My mbp doesn't start up anymore and all I can see is the file boz and a ? mark. I have the CD that came with the macbook. Is it hard to install the software or should I just take it to apple and let them do the job?
    Also, I only bought the 128 GB since I cannot afford the 256g. I have a seagate 1 TB external hardrive. Can anyone please tell me what to do to set all downloads and other documents to save in the external so I am not using all the 128 g

    JS28,
    I installed a Samsung 840 PRO SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It’s not hard to install the software onto your SSD, though it will take some time to do so. I don’t know how much Apple would charge for that service, so the time vs. money tradeoff is something that you’ll need to decide.
    If you decide to do it yourself, what you’ll need to do is to boot your MacBook Pro from the grey installation DVD marked “Mac OS X Install DVD” that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro; to do that, hold down the C key as you power up. Once you’ve booted up from the DVD, you’ll need to run Disk Utility to format your SSD as “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”. Once it’s been formatted, you can then install the version of Mac OS X that is on that DVD, either Leopard or Snow Leopard. Once your MacBook Pro’s original version of Mac OS X is installed on the SSD, you can then reboot from the SSD, and optionally install the iLife applications from the “Applications Install DVD” — the other grey installation DVD that came with your MacBook Pro.
    Next, you’ll  need to upgrade or update your OS to Mac OS X 10.6.8, which in turn will allow you to access the App Store, so that you can redownload Mountain Lion for installation. Once you’ve installed Mountain Lion on your SSD, it will then have the Mountain Lion recovery partition installed also.
    To ensure that your downloads and documents are saved to your external Seagate HDD, be sure to choose a location on that drive whenever you download a file or save a document. Each application that you use will probably need to be set to download/save to your external HDD, but each of them should remember that external HDD location for future downloads/saves.

  • I cant install the oracle client 8i

    Is there any way we could install oracle client in pentium four
    machines?

    I can't either, therefore there's nothing wrong with your phone.  It's a server / apple issue.  Nothing you can do about it right now, so move on...

  • ASP to Oracle...without the Oracle client...

    Hi there. I work in a university setting, complete with politics and territorial departments. I am authoring some web pages using third party software for the content management (which uses SQL Server); the 3rd party software requires these pages use ASP. However, there is some data I need to pull off of an Oracle Database and integrate with the regular content.
    I have just begun to learn about my options for connecting to Oracle from ASP, and they all involve, if I understand correctly, installing the Oracle client software on the web server.
    The department that controls the web server (Win 2000 IIS) has balked on installing the client software. They want to keep the machine "clean".
    Is there a method for connecting to Oracle from ASP that does not involve installing the Oracle client on the web server? Maybe just a driver? Someone told me that I might be able to have the ASP page call a procedure on SQL server (which is not on the web server) which in turn connects to Oracle, pulls the data, then returns it to the ASP page. Sounds convoluted, but I guess if it works...
    The issue is not going away; we are pretty much tied to ASP for our web development and Oracle for our database needs. Can anyone give me some advice on what direction I should take? Do I have any options? (Besides stealing the web server away...)
    Thanks in advance...

    If I were in your position, I would simply explain that if you want to pull data from an Oracle database and use that data to create dynamic ASP web pages, you'll need the Oracle client on the web server. 99%+ of the world does it this way, it'll almost certainly cost more to develop and maintain a nonstandard setup than it will cost to "depurify" the web server with the Oracle client. Save lots of headaches down the road.
    Barring that, however, there are a few options technically available to you. I'll list them in my personal order of preference
    1) There are some third parties (DataDirect is one) that sell "thin" ODBC drivers which don't require the Oracle client to be installed. They speak the Oracle wire protocol. You can use this thin driver and the Microsoft OLE DB to ODBC translation layer to communicate with Oracle. These aren't particularly cheap products as I understand it, but you may be able to negotiate terms. You'll still have to install something on the web server, it'll just be a smaller something than the Oracle client.
    2) You could set up a SQL Server database on a separate machine (you could have SQL Server & Oracle on the same machine I suppose), install the Oracle client on that machine, and set SQL Server up to query from the Oracle database. Your ASP pages could query the SQL Server database on this machine, which would query Oracle and return the data. Not particlarly elegant, but doable. If you have to license the SQL Server install (i.e. you don't have a site license), this is probably more expensive & less elegant than #1.
    Side note: the reason you don't need to install "SQL Server client" software on the web server is that Microsoft has helpfully decided that SQL Server client components need to be a standard part of Windows.
    3) (Warning, speculative) The goal here is to use Oracle's thin JDBC driver (no Oracle client required) on the web server to query the Oracle database. I don't know if you could cobble together some database access components using Visual J++ called from ASP that called Oracle's thin JDBC driver. This strikes me as requiring a whole mess of bailing wire, duct tape, and chewing gum to hold together if it's possible, but has the benefit of not costing you money (just sanity, time, future maintenance...)
    So, it's technically possible to do what you wnat.
    I'd strongly advocate getting folks to understand the necessity of installing the Oracle client on their precious web server, no matter how pristine they think it is. If you're really backed into a corner, explain that you can go for option #1, but there will be a financial cost to doing so. Without knowing your precise requirements, I would tend to suspect that you won't be able to meet you project objectives with #2 & #3 both because they'll make development, design, and maintenance more difficult and because they'll involve more "moving parts" which will tend to make performance & reliability suffer. If this is a low-priority system that people won't rely on too heavily, you may be able to get away with it. Of course, if it's a low priority system, my guess is that you wouldn't have to time to develop it.

  • Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10

    Hi
    I am looking for looking to upgrade the Oracle client software (not instant client) to find a version that support Windows 7. We currently use 10.2.0 On XP.
    I can only find version 11g downloads but our database server is 10
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
    I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported.
    Where can I get a Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10.
    thanks

    I can only find version 11g downloads but our database server is 10Oracle 11 client will work just fine with a 10g database. However, 10g is currently only on "sustaining" support. You are WAAY overdue to upgrade the db.

    I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported. You need to look at the level of "supported" for 10g. A software company can't support old versions forever, and by limiting the download of those old versions, they limit the number of new support calls for them.
    >

    again, since you are concerned with the client software, you should just get the 11g client. It will work fine with your 10g database.
    thanks

  • Where do I find the Oracle Client installation for HPUX

    I thought I could install the Oracle Client on my HPUX Itanium server from these zipfiles:
    hpia64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
    hpia64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
    But, after unzipping them, I'm not locating "clientadmin.rsp" which I was expecting to find in the binary distribution.
    The only .rsp files I'm finding are these:
    ./database/response/dbca.rsp
    ./database/response/netca.rsp
    ./database/response/db_install.rsp
    Is the install media for Oracle Client going to found somewhere else? I'm having quite some difficulty locating it.
    Locating the "Instant Client" was easy, but that's not what we're trying to accomplish here. We want to run the "Administrator installation of Oracle Client".
    Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    ...Chuck...

    It seems that my concern is that I haven't got the correct binary (zip) files yet. After extracting BOTH files I'm left with the following, top-level structure:
    $ pwd
    /home/szpqw7/11gR2Client/database
    $ ll
    total 80
    drwxr-xr-x 12 root sys 8192 Dec 16 09:41 doc

    As you can see, there is no "client" directory there. What binary should I be looking for that would contain the folder you are suggesting??

    Hi
    Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
    And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
    I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

  • Installing Latest Oracle Client & ODT for Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a Windows 7 64-bit. I would think that using 32-bit Java, 32-bit Oracle Client and 32-bit ODAC would work just fine on this operating system. However, I had no luck getting it to run. Here is what I did and a few reasons why I prefer to never work with Oracle products:
    Installed 32-bit JDK/JRE (1.6 Update 25)
    Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
    Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
    Installed 32-bit ODT (11g R3) to Home 1 (installer noted upgrades and new installs)
    Failed connectivity from all things windows (ODBC, ADO, ADO.Net)
    Uninstalled 32-bit ODT
    Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (oraparam.ini file missing among other issues)
    Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 2
    Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (told to use deinstall tool)
    Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (told to use deinstall tool)
    Failed to run uninstall tool in Home 1 (told to download standalone deinstall tool)
    Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (completed successfuly with errors - seriously?)
    Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (completed successfully, but couldn't delete folder)
    Oracle.DataAccess and Oracle.Web are still installed in GAC. Uninstall attempts fail (access denied)
    Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
    Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
    Tested connectivity from .Net 3.5 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
    Tested connectivity from .Net 4.0 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
    Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Oracle Data Tools for Windows to work before I try that again?

    I realize ODT uses ODP, but installing release 3 upgraded the .Net 2.0 ODP DLLs (which were installed from the Oracle Client 11g Release 2 install) and added the .Net 4.0 DLLs. After that install everything stopped working from Windows land and then it took the better part of two hours to get it back to what it looked like prior to the install. The other thing weird thing I noticed is that although Oracle.DataAccess is registered in the 2.0 GAC I cannot add a reference that way using VS2010. I have to manually add a reference to the file path. Although it still appears I do not have to have the assembly copied locally to run, so the GAC registration seems to be working in that regard.

    And where to get download this.
    Thank u..!

    The only way you can get 9iR1 release software is by asking it to your Oracle representative. The oldest 9i release available for public download is 9iR2.
    You could try the administrative 9iR2 client, it can work with 9iR1 releases.

  • Is Oracle Client software must in Sql Server 2005 Box to connect ORACLE

    We need to connect ORACLE from SqlServer 2005
    1. We would like to know is Oracle Client Software MUST needed to be installed in SqlServer 2005 to connect ORACLE.
    2. Do we have any other means?
    3. Will Oracle OLE DB Provider for Oracle help us in establishing Linked Server to ORACLE

    Probably late in the day for this but
    The workbench cannot handle SS2K5 directly at the moment. However as long as no new SS2K5 functionality has been used with a few tweaks this can be achieved.
    1. Firstly use the SS2K offline capture scripts to build the directories for the database(s) you want to capture.
    2 Secondly edit
    (a) SS2K_SYSLOGINS.dat and take out long SS2K5 user records
    (b) SS2K_SYSINDEXES.dat change FIRST ( forth column) to a value (say hex 1).
    (c) SS2K_SYSUSERS.dat change ROLES (sixth column) to a value (say hex 1).
    This should now load into the workbench. If it does not check the error.log file in <OMWB HOME>\log.

  • Question about Oracle Client Software

    Hi!
    I'm going to develop a software which will access an Oracle Database somewhere on the network. This software will be developed using C++ language and will run on a Linux RedHat 7.3 machine.
    Searching for APIs to connect with Oracle Database, I found OCI and OCCI, which I think will do this job. Also, in another thread in this group, I found that I have to install Oracle Client Software on the machine which will run my software. Then I came into a question: is it possible to install Oracle Client Software alone in a machine, I mean, without the entire database? If yes, how about the licenses? Do I have to have a Oracle Client License for each machine running my software or is it free for Linux?
    Thanks in advance,
