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!

Install oracle client 32 bits on 64 bits windows

We need to intall Oracle driver for OLEDB on a SQL server box.
The SQL server is windows 2008 R2 and SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bits.
But because we have some SSIS packages that need to run in 32 bits,(for example the source file is the Excel), so we are installing oracle client 32 bits instead of 64 bits on the windows box which is 64 bits.
Anyone knows if this will work?
Thanks

I think it should work. I have a server Win 2008 x64 which runs 32 bit 11g client and we haven't had an issue. I had the same situation as you are in which required me to install 32bit client on x64 server. if you have a test server I would try this on the test server identical to production to make sure that you won't see any hick ups in your production environment. hope this helps.

Did you carefully go through all pre-req steps for install?
Oracle needs some "compatibility libraries" as well (compat-lib*). Here are packages for AS 10g, most or all of which apply to Database too.
Checking operating system packages: gcc-3.2.3-20,compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122,compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,setarch-1.3-1,pdksh-5.2.14,sysstat-4.0.7,gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1,libstdc++-3.2.3,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5
When required packages are in place, there's another error lurking, related to __libc_wait symbol.
runInstaller "boots" OUI, which includes running a JRE from tmp. This JRE (build 02) is broken, but you can setup to run another one via oraparam.ini and JRE_LOCATION. Download build 10 from Sun (google "jre 1.3.1 download").

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 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].

I know this isn't a RedHat admin forum...but one of the most important things is an up2date set of system packages. It is my opinion that the RedHat Network Updater (up2date) should always be used to keep your kernel, bin-utils, glibc, gcc, etc files up2date...they fix issues all the time that help in relinking (making) files, as well as fixing security problems and increasing platform security.
That said, the version of bin-utils, glibc, kernel and gcc that I have installed Oracle 9i release 1 on RedHat 7.2 is:
kernel-2.4.9-31
binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12
glibc-2.2.4-24
gcc-2.96-98
Here is the documentation I followed:
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html
and here is a good discussion thread on an installation:
http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/821.htm
I did not (and do not) recommend downgrading the bin-utils ... just update the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh file and relink...
Also, if installing Oracle 9i Release 2 on RedHat 7.3, see this thread concerning the ins_ctx.mk error

How can I install Oracle database 9i on Redhat linux with OFA

Hello,
From the Unix installation guide:
Note: The Oracle Universal Installer supports, but does not require, OFA. The preconfigured database included with the Database installation type of Oracle9i database is created under a single mount point and is, therefore, not OFA-compliant.
So my question is how to install dabase with OFA structure. I have read the DOCs for OFA, but I still can not understand. I mean, within Oracle Universal Installer, is there some option allow me to support OFA?
Thanks a lot,
Grace

Why IBM said that their 64-bit server can run both 32-bit and 64-bit application in the same time?Because the CPU itself is capable of running both: 32-bit and 64-bit.
In order to do so you need a 64-bit operating system to run 64-bit binaries.
If you use LPARs you can partition your pSeries to have multiple partitions each running a copy of AIX. So you can run 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems at the same time if needed.
But as already pointed out i recommend to use 64-bit because most 32-bit applications will run without problems.

Can't Install Oracle 8.1.7 on linux

Hi,
This is related to posting 516230.
For some reason unknown to me, regardless of the media or the version, I cannot get the installation script, runInstaller to invoke on RedHat 7.1.
This is my oracle user is set up as such:
uid=501(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),501(dba)
This is my display variable setting:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost.localdomain:0.0
Here are the pertinent entries from my groups file:
dba:x:501:
oinstall:x:502:
osdba:x:503:
osoper:x:504:
Here is the access control list:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:localhost.localdomain
Every time I try to invoke the installer all I get is:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
Which I do, forever. There is no splash screen, but the processes are running:
oracle 3297 1 0 23:26 pts/4 00:00:00 ./runInstaller
oracle 3298 3297 97 23:26 pts/4 00:02:36 /home/oracle/Disk1/stage/Compone
I am not really sure what it is doing, it takes up a lot of cpu for no benefit as far as I can tell. Proof is in the output of the top command, which shows the jre eating up 98.8% of the cpu.
3298 oracle 19 0 3136 3136 964 R 98.8 0.4 7:52 jre
3309 oracle 12 0 1060 1060 840 R 0.5 0.1 0:00 top
I have 640MB of memory on a Dell Dimension XPS T600. The other post, details more of my configuration and steps I took to remedy the situation. I'm here asking this question because I have no idea where else I could go. ANY HELP AT ALL would be greatly appreciated. I have read the Linux and Oracle HOW-TO files, and anything else I could think of.
Thanks for your help

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.

Problem with Oracle Client(64 bit) install on Windows 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Client 64 bit (win64_11gR2_client) on my laptop and its giving me all the pre requisite failed for "Physical Memory, Free Space, Architecture and Enviornment variable: Path". So i need to exit that setup.
I have enough space almost 130 GB free on my laptop. Also, i cleared temp data. Then increased physical memory to 4096 MB but still facing the same error and not able to install the Oracle Client on my laptop.
Please assist as soon as possible.

Pl identify exact version of Win 7 - you will need Professional version or higher - Home versions are not supported. Pl verify you meet all of the pre-reqs for the install as identified in the Install Guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16774/pre_install.htm

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).
