Can i install Oracle client with diferent version than database server?

Hi,
I need to install in two PC client 11g R2 version client. One of my database version is 10g R2 and the other is 9i. Can i install in my PC client a Oracle client version different to my database servers (or i need to install exactly de same version)? I need buy any aditional license?
Many thanks in advance.

In general you can install an Oracle client version that is different from Oracle database server. However you should take care of client/server support status on My Oracle Support site: see Client / Server / Interoperability Support Matrix For Different Oracle Versions [ID 207303.1].

Can I install Oracle client on Mac os X version 10.4.6?

Hello,
My os version:
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.4.6
BuildVersion: 8I127
The processor information is "Dual 800 MHz PowerPC G4 2MB L3 cache per processor"
Memory 1 GB SDRAM
120 gig hard drive
I would like to install the Oracle client software so i can run sql*Plus. I'm looking at the quick install guide and it says that "Only Mac OS X Server is supported." and it also says "The operating system version must be Apple Mac OS X Server 10.3.6"
Why would Oracle only create an Oracle client that runs on a mac server? Is this information correct? or can I go ahead and install the client on my machine?
Thank you,
David

No luck for me. :( Even gave total access to the directory and files. But the location of the lib file is not any directory on my machine.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can we install oracle client over oralce xpress edition??

hello....
Actually i am instally oracle 11g r2 express edition. Over that i have to install oracle client to meed my software requirement.
Can i do so in oracle XE.

for 11.2 XE Supported client versions are 11.2.0 and 12.1.0. (Doc ID 207303.1)
If "Supported" means Oracle will support you, then yes, but all versions from 9.2 onwards will work (OP didn't specify its software requirement).

Installing Oracle client with PSU

Hello together,
I am planning to install Oracle client on AIX
Normally we use to follow the order -
     - Client software Base Release (p10098816_112020_AIX64*)
     - OPatch (p6880880_112000_AIX64*)
But what I prefer is -
     - Client software Base Release (p10098816_112020_AIX64*)
     - OPatch (p6880880_112000_AIX64*)
     - PSU (p12419331_112020_AIX*)
Also During installation of PSU there is a warning that some options are missing (oracle.rdbms...)
I checked in metalink, whether PSU have to be applied during Client installation. but didn't find a proper recommendation.
Can anybody help on this ..
Regards,
-Rajesh

Can I install Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000 professional

Yes, of course. Both versions works but you have to be prepared for lots of RAM.

Can we install oracle client 32 bit on Linux 64 bit

Can we install the 32 bit applications like the oracle client on to a database server 64 bit and linux os 64 bit ?

This question is two parts which I paraphrase as per my understanding; please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) Can you install 32-bit applications (like the oracle client) on to a 64-bit Linux OS?
Quick and correct answer is: Yes. Most distributions will include 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit libraries for just this purpose.
2) Can a 32-bit Oracle Client "connect" to a 64-bit Oracle Database server?
Yes.
So ultimately, you could install 64-bit Oracle Database on a 64-bit Linux OS, and then continue by installing the 32-bit Oracle Client on the same host (although I see no real reason for this), and then finally use the 32-bit Oracle Client to connect to the 64-bit instance running on the same host.
Hope this is helpful!

How i install oracle client with ODBC using response file method

Hi,
I have managed to create a response file using OUI. Currently, I do not know what are the methods which i can install a group of computers using this response file. Any advise
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Tony

Presumably, any method that allows you to remotely run code on the group of computers would allow you to do a silent install of the Oracle client and ODBC driver. I know Microsoft and various third parties sell such tools, but I'm not enough of a Windows admin to know anything about the relative benefits of the products in this category.

Can I install Windows XP with another CD than the recovery CD?

A friend of a friend ;) has a Satellite 5200. He cached a very bad virus on his Notebook, witch I couldn't remove after 2 hours of work, so I'd like to install Windows in order to "clean" the system. The problem is: he is just for visit here, and his recovery-CD is in his hometown, so I do not have the recovery-CD.
My question: can I use any other Windows XP CD - and then use the key, which I can find under the notebook? Does it have to be a "home"-CD too, or will any CD work - or will ONLY a Toshiba-recovery-CD work?
It's important for him - if it doesn't work he will buy a completely new Windows XP within the next 2 days. Because he pays me a little bit for my work, I cannot just try it out and then try it again the next day or so.
ps: how much does a new recovery-CD cost - ONLY the CD - when I purchase it an a local Toshiba dealer? I live in Germany.
Thank you

Hi
I agree with Silas. You can use an own original Microsoft Windows CD and install the OS on the Toshiba notebook.
All drivers can be found on the Toshiba page.
If you want to purchase the Toshiba recovery CD I would recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
Im not sure about the CD costs but I think its not expensive the single service points are responsible for the Recovery CD prices and this can be different from country to country

Ummm .... client license?
All license questions should be addressed to Oracle. I believe what you'll find is that the license for client installation is free. What you pay to license and support is the rdbms (server) software.
But all licensing questions should be addressed directly to Oracle. A license agreement is a legal issue, and this forum will have no standing in court.

Error when trying to install oracle client (can't connect to X11 error)

Hi guys,
I need help to install Oracle Client 10g. I am quite a novice so I am totally hopeless when it comes to difficult or linux-kind-of-terms.
I can't use GUI at all, so everything got to be done through putty.exe
my local pc (where the putty is, IP 192.168.8.194) -> linux red hat 4 IP 192.168.8.31 (where the oracle client should be!)
when I run the runIntaller I receieved error mentioning about DISPLAY variable haven't set yet.
I did set it trhough putty as follow
DISPLAY=192.168.8.194:0.0
export DISPLAY
no luck...I still hit an error that eventho this time the error is like below;
=============================================================================
Can't connect to X11 window server using '192.168.8.194:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
192.168.8.194:0.0
192.168.8.194:0.0
OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactive install session because of the following error:Can't connect to X11 window server using '192.168.8.194:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to <hostname or IP address>:<screen>, where the <screen> is usually '0.0'.
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
OUI-10027:To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock... see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock'
==============================================================================
When I run the xclock using GUI I can see it pop up on my screen, but when I run xclock trhough putty, I see that it just went blank...is that right because I am using putty or what?
Can you guys please help? Everyone that had this problem like find the solution real easy...I just so frustrated because this setting is just not working, and I have no idea what to check. Do I need extra library or something to install this?
Please remember that I can use GUI in my test server but I can't use any GUI at all when I am implementing this.
Thanks thanks thanks.

Hi-
You are right. putty is just a simple console without X11 in it. how come it didn't even cross my mind?
Thanks for the reply. I solved it by using third party software called xdeep, from what I got from internet looks like this and the software you were talking about hold the same purpose. This xdeep is pretty easy to configure and in just few seconds I can launch the installer! Gee...!
For those guys that having the same problem as me then find xdeep software from google and browse on the configure webpage. I found a step by step configuration setting from the internet too and it's real easy.
