Best Universal Oracle Client

Hi Friends,
We have different versions of databases 9i,10g,11g, etc. on unix and windows servers.
I want to install on my laptop oracle client that can access all oracle databases. Is it 11g client? or 10g client?
I have read something before that 10g client is more stable and compatible to all versions than 11g?
Is it still true today?
Thanks a lot
MsK

Can you be a bit more specific about the exact database releases you're using? There is quite a lot of difference between an unpatched 9.0.1 database and a fully patched 9.2.0.8 database when it comes to client compatibility.
Metalink 207303.1 is the Client/ Server Compatibility Matrix.
An 11.2 client is compatible with an 11.2, 11.1, 10.2.0.2 or later patchset, and a 9.2.0.4 or higher patchset. It is not compatible with a 10.1 database
A 10.2 client is compatible with an 11.2, 11.1, 10.2, 10.1, or 9.2.0.4 or higher patchset
If you need to connect to a 9.0.1 databaes, you'd need to go all the way back to 9.2 (or 10.1) client which is no longer available on OTN.

How to uninstall oracle components silents using oracle universal installer in oracle client 11.2.0.3.0?

Hi,
I have installed oracle client 11.2.0.3.0 silently using the response file with INSTALL type as runtime. I want to remove 'Oracle sql developer' from the installed products. Using Oracle Universal Installer I am able to remove this component in GUI. Please provide me the silent switch to remove this component. I have tried with DEINSTALL_LIST property , but I am getting an error that 'no products selected for deinstall'. Please suggest on this.

Pl post your OS details
AFAIK, SQL Developer is not included in the Oracle Client install - it is a separate install. You will have to follow the instructions for uninstalling SQL Developer - check the docs for your specific version of SQLD - Oracle SQL Developer
e.g. for 3.1, see Installing Oracle SQL Developer

Uninstall Oracle client 11gR2

We need to install oracle client on a windows 2008 64 bits server.
Because for some of our miscrosoft integration service SSIS packages we have to run 32 bits.
SO I installed Oracle client 11g R2 32 bits for windows on the server.
I found some components are not installed, so I need to uninstall the client and reinstall it.
But by using universal installer, when clicking deinstall it says to run command ... to unintall it. Why...
Then in the directory of deinstall, I double click the deinstall.bat, it runs quickly and I didn't see oracle client is uninstalled.
Then following the instruction on the http://heliosguneserol.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/how-to-remove-oracle-11gr2-on-windows-7, it is windows 7, but I think it is the same.
I download the utility, and run the command, when I run this:
D:\win32_11gR2_deinstall\deinstall>set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\client_1
D:\win32_11gR2_deinstall\deinstall>deinstall -home D:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\client_1
The system cannot find the path specified.
But the path is there in windows direcotry,
what I am doing wrong?
How come 11g client is so hard to uninstall, but 10 g is so easy?
More information may help to trouble shoot:
Prior I download the the standalone version of deinstall , I tried the deinstall tool with the origianal oracle installation.
it gives error when I run the destinall,

Hello,
I found some components are not installed, so I need to uninstall the client and reinstall it.I'd like to know why it was not possible to make a custom installation with OUI and, then select the components you need.
Normally, you can run OUI every time you want so as to add all the necessary components over an existing installation.
For instance you can make a 1st installation with the "runtime" option, then in a 2nd installation add "Oracle ODBC Driver" component.
Else you'll find here the documentation about the deinstall tool:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24187/deinstall.htm#BABHIGFE
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle Client 11gR2 installation issue on RHEL v5.4 64-bit

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Client software 11gR2 on RHEL v5.4 64-bit. I have resolved all the libraries dependency as well as Kernel changes as suggested by the installer. The error in the log file is as attached. At present I have "skipped" this error and proceeded with installation.
While installing the client, the installer fails while configuring the Net CA with error:
INFO: Done parsing command line arguments.

Also when I invoke the SQL Client; sqlplus user@db and enter the password, the sqlplus exits without any error and returns to the terminal console. Please note earlier I has getting a SELinux violation and have changed it to "permissive" mode
Please let me know how to resolve NetCA installation and the sqplus issue.
Thanks & regards,
Vinay

Hi,
Thet NetCA error occurs during installation and I believe the installer should take care of the ORACLE_HOME variable setting.
But before invoking sqlplus I have set the ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in the .bash_profile as mentioned in the installation guide. The snippet of the profile file is:
export ORACLE_HOME=~/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1
export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export TWO_TASK=mmcoedb
I am able to tnsping to the server/service name too but when I try to login using the user/password using sqlplus, it simply exits without any error.
Please let me know how to resolve the error.
Best regards,
Vinay

Hi,
Often the error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client" is raised when the unmanaged dll OraOpsX.dll can't be found, can't be loaded, or is the wrong version. For version 10.2.0.x of ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.x the file should be called "OraOps10w.dll" and should be found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
Since the ODAC pieces are installed on the same host as the database, are they in a separate Oracle Home or the same Oracle Home as the database software? If there are multiple Oracle Home directories, which one is in the system path first?
I would start with verifying the version of OraOps10w.dll and the system path on the server. You might also confirm that the Oracle Home directory (and everything under it) has the following permissions for Authenticated Users:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read

How to upgrade the Oracle Client silently ?

Hi all,
I have to upgrade the Oracle Client from 8.1.6.0.0 to 9.2.0.1.0.
I use the -record option for creating the destination file or edit the response file manually for being able to install the new client. But I have no idea, how to remove the old client.
The following command doesn't work:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install\setup.exe" -deinstall DEINSTALL_LIST={"oracle.client","8.1.6.0.0"}
What am I doing wrong? How to remove the Oracle Client silently?
Thanks for the help and best wishes from Frankfurt.
Dimitri

I created a instant client silent DE-INSTALL for version 10.1.0.2 on XP.
setup.exe -silent -deinstall -responseFile Z:\yyyyyy\xxxxxx.rsp
These are parameters are in my response file...
ORACLE_HOME="C:\oracle\InstantClient\10.1.0"
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraInstantClient10g_home1"
TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT={"oracle.client","10.1.0.2.0"}
DEINSTALL_LIST={"oracle.client","10.1.0.2.0"}
SHOW_SPLASH_SCREEN=false
SHOW_WELCOME_PAGE=false
SHOW_END_SESSION_PAGE=false
SHOW_EXIT_CONFIRMATION=false
SHOW_DEINSTALL_CONFIRMATION=false
SHOW_DEINSTALL_PROGRESS=true
REMOVE_HOMES={"c:\oracle\ora81","c:\oracle\InstantClient\10.1.0"}
You still have to manually update/remove the PATH & TNS_ADMIN environment variables and the file system directories.

Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
Thanks,
Barry

Hello,
When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
Hope this will help.
Best regards,
Sylvie

Hi,
There is no record option with 11gR2.
There is no need to use '-record' flag to record/save the response file. At Summary page of installation, 11gR2 installer provides option to save the response file. We can perfom the silent installation using this saved response file
Unix:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile <saved_response-file>
Windows:
c:\software\11.2.0.1\database\setup.exe -responseFile <saved_response-file>
For more details, kindly refer
11gR2 Install (Non-RAC): Understanding New Changes With All New 11.2 Installer (Doc ID 884232.1)
4th point in the document explains about this

Oracle Client 32 bit installation on Exadata Machine

Hi,
We are starting our migration to exadata next month.
One of the issues we have is regarding to our Informatica ETL tool . Our application is licence to 32 bit.
The database repository of this tool is currently running on linux redhat 5.5 64 bit with 11203 rdbms version.
We had to install oracle client 32 bit software , in order to allow the application to connect to the database.
Is it possible to install oracle client 32 bit on exdata ? If not what would you suggest ?
Best Regards

I can't speak for Informatica, but it should be able to connect to the database over the network, so the database server OS wouldn't matter in that case. That is, if Informatica runs on a different Linux machine that runs 32-bit Linux, it can connect over the network to the Exadata database server node. If Informatica requires to run on the database server directly, you'd have to ask them how they can support 64-bit Linux (or you may have to modify or add to your license).

Oracle Client Installation. ODBC "not configurable".

Hi people.
I need your help to solve a problem in a installation of Oracle XE Client.
I install Oracle XE Client in a Windows XP.
In Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> ODBC
Later in the flap: Controlers
I don't see the "Oracle in XE" controler.
OK. I look in the directory and exists the sqora32.dll, etc. etc.
Do you know how resolve this?
Oks. That's my problem. Now I tell you what I do trying to solve it.
I find in other forums that I can utilize, the normal 10g client or use Instant Client.
Important question: If I take one of this solutions. Have a cost associated?
How much is the cost for instant client?
How much is the cost for normal 10g client?
The interesting of XE in this phase of my project is that is completly FREE !!!
It give me the opportunity of migrate in a later time to a more sofisticated version of Oracle but at this moment I dont complete my product. ;-)
I will try with this solution but I have intrigue and desire of drive the XE software not patch it.
The documentation is recurrent to a document that doesnt explain nothing about my problem.
I tried to register the dll with the following command:
regsvr32 C:\XEClient\bin\sqora32.dll
And obtained the following message (followed by other):
Error Cannot Load Resource File sqresus.dll
Do you know how resolve this?
Best regards
Roberto

Hello Stevens,
Thanks for the reply. I have installed 11g r2 64 bit client and I have tried this way too C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Like I said, the (sysWOW64) is for the 32-bit. You now assert you installed 64-bit, so that is not applicable
but there were no drivers found. I didnot find any odbc folder in oracle client home. Could you please suggest what needs to be done next.
Now we know you installed 11.2 client. Like I said, the ODBC drivers are NOT installed by default on that version.
And so you need to do as I said in my last post:
do a default installation, then go back and do a 'custom' installation, specifying the same ORACLE_HOME as before, and selecting the ODBC components.

How to make Oracle Developer Suite use different Oracle client version

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) on Win7 32bit
When I run Oracle Forms or Oracle Reports or any DB tool (like SQL Navigator or PL/SQL Developer) and trying to connect to remote Oracle DB 10g (10.2.0.5.0) I get an error ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Then I've installed Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.4.0 and made DB tools use this client and error was gone, but I still get that error using Forms and Reports.
So my qustion is, can I make Oracle Forms and Reports use any other Oracle Client but that was installed with Oracle Developer Suite? Or any other suggestions are welcome how to fix connection issue in Forms and Reports?
I have read many threads and some suggested to set NLS_LANG. Done that, but it didn't help :(

The better question is why are you trying to use an obsolete Oracle product on such a new OS and expecting it to work properly? Are you also using MS Office 95 on this machine? Attempting to hack a solution is fine if you are just learning to use a product or just playing around. However, I would never recommend attempting to do what you are doing.
Oracle Forms 9.x was desupported years ago, long before Windows 7 was released. Trying to use it in this manner is risky at best and not something that should be done in a professional environment. If you are a student or just home user trying to learn on your own, I would recommend that you use a virtualization product like Oracle Virtual Box and create a vm of an older OS. For example XP, then install on that platform. If you are a licensed user of Win 7 Pro or higher, I believe Microsoft is still giving away (for free) "XP Mode". Details here:

How to use Oracle Client

Dear Buddies,
To the best of my knowledge I understand that Oracle Client is a minimal package to get connected to the Oracle Server in order to access the database. Corrrect me if I am wrong.
I have installed it based on the steps given in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
and also other sites.
How do I start using it? If SQL Plus, all I have to do is launch the SQL Plus, get connected and start using the database. How should I use this Instant Client? Please guide me. Is it compulsary to use it with SQL Plus? or some other tools?
I also tried the methods mentioned in this pdf http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oraclenet/files/OracleNetServices_NetEasyConnect.pdf
but it doesn't help me as well.
Expecting your support and reply.
Thanking you in advance.

You need a client program that uses Oracle client to connect to an Oracle Database.
One such program is "sqlplus", it is the command line interface.
Its usage is described extensively in
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm
See specifically
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch3.htm#sthref610
for how to connect to a database.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Crash in 32 bit C++ application on Linux 5.4 with Oracle Client 11.2.0.2.

Hi ,
I am getting following crash in 32 bit C++ application built on Linux platform 5.4 with Oracle client version 11.2.0.2.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
[New process 22157]

#9 0x0804b716 in main (argc=2, argv=0xffabe244) at crewxa.cc:371From the stack trace, it seems that the crash is occurring at oracle client library libclntsh.so.11.1 . When looked at Metalink, there is a note Pro*c Application Cores On 11g Client [ID 1410089.1], which says that Pro *C application consistently produces core dumps with above stack trace in Oracle client 11.2.0.2 .
Such traces are resulting from the function “sqlnst ()”. But in this case, the stack is called from the main function of our application.
Please advice.

Thanks again, Phil.
It seems to be some specific situation, since I could get to install the same version (Client 11.2.0.1 32 bits) in a Windows Vista 64 bits.
I still hope somebody has an answer.
Best regards!
