Free Oracle db client

Hi fellow users,
What client (like toad) do you use with your oracle db (free express edition, if it matters)?
I am currently using toad, but it is only on a 30-day trial.
I will greatly appreciate your ideas.

There is a free version of toad, that needs to be updated every 30/90 days. However the codebase for it is a few versions back from their production version.. Might as well d/l the latest Sql Developer.. Its free and a lot less headaches involved with it..
Thank you,
Tony Miller

Oracle 11g client installation on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

I'm having trouble installing the Oracle 11g client installation on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) machine.
Can Oracle 11g client even be installed on the Windows 7 Home Premium 64?
Thanks!

Hi;
As mention here home OS not supported, so as mention here again if you make some googling you can find link&blog which is mention to create WM machine, install linux(you can use OEL linux which is free and can be download from e-delivery site) than you can make 11g installation on it

Fatal error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect() in /var/www/html/waseem.php on line 20
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is the problem with oci_connect or odbc_connect?
The phpinfo() output shows '--without-unixODBC' which may be a root cause. There is no 'odbc' section shown in the phpinfo() output so I wouldn't expect odbc calls to work.
But if the issue is with OCI8, then make sure that Oracle environment variables and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set BEFORE starting Apache.
More information on OCI8 and PHP is in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/underground-php-oracle-manual.html

Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X

Hi all, this is my first post here (so I don't know if it's the proper place, but to try it is free. Sorry for any inconvenience).
Anybody, can confirm/explain why, one year after launch, there isn't one available download of Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X?
Without it's impossible, for example, to compile PHP with OCI support under Intel MacOS X (native mode) and it's really a pain.
With PPC version existing since ages, wouldn't be absolutely easy to recompile that cool stuff for Intel MacOS X?
TIA and ciao, Eloy Lafuente :-)

Hi again...
just to know a bit more... two months later... how is customer demand going...?
Have you searched for "macos x instant client intel" ?
Aren't PHP/Perl/Ruby applications enough?
I sincerely think it's a big mistake to don't offer native connectivity for MacOS X Intel users... of course, your mistake.
Some developers, like me, will stop developing/improving Oracle support in their applications just because they use MacOS X to develop. So, those applications won't run ok under Oracle, no matter where you deploy them.
With thousands of applications running natively under MacOS X Intel... isn't there (@ Oracle) able to recompile that tiny piece of software to run under Intels... sorry but I cannot believe it.
I'll email SJ right now! Ciao :-)

License for Oracle Unix client

Let say I have an application running on Unix 64bit (SunOS,HPUX or AIX) accessing a DB with proC, php or jdbc OCI.
From XE doc I understood that it is possible to have the DB running Oracle XE on Linux 32bit and the application connecting to the DB with Oracle SE or EE Client from Unix 64bit.
What license is required for Oracle Unix client?
Is the configuration above free (or am I naive)?

As least Oracle instance client is Free according to Oracle.

Oracle instant Client and memory

Hello everybody,
I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
Thx in advance.
Maat

If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory
for all its NLS data. The Instant Client Lite package uses a smaller
footprint.
Make sure you know what you are measuring and whether what you are
seeing actually has an effect on performance.

Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible

I am getting an error, and I don't understand why I'm getting it.
Error:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
Environment:
ODP.NET, 10.2.0.2 (ODTwithODAC10202.exe install)
Oracle 9i database
Windows 2000, .NET 1.x framework
Before ODP.NET, Oracle 9.2 client
Server does not have Visual Studio installed
Just installed ODP.NET today; any time I attempt to access OracleConnection, I get the error above. I am a newbie to server installations; if something is obvious to you, it might not be obvious to me, so feel free to point out even the most basic things.
I did install ODP.NET (same version) on my own PC several months ago, running over the same database, and everything seems to be working fine...
Message was edited by:

Yeah; apparently, the Oracle install on that server was known (by everyone but me, from the sounds of it) to be exceptionally fragile. Installing ODP.NET brought down all Oracle connections. Uninstalling ODP.NET broke (actually, shattered might be closer to the truth) the Oracle instance on that box. Our solution? Start from scratch with a new server. Another piece of information which would have been nice to know is that they were looking for an excuse to get rid of this server; I wouldn't have been running around like a madman trying to fix it (and stressing all the while).
So, the problem has been solved, but not in any kind of normal fashion.

Oracle 8i Client with XP 64

Folks,
I have scanned the forums for some post on this, but I havent found anything directly related. We are supporting maintenance of 8i databases and it isnt an option to upgrade at this point.
I have installed an Oracle 8i client on an XP 64bit platform. I have configured the ODBC server connection settings using the 32 bit ODBC admin tools. And I have a valid TNSNAMES.ORA file in use that works on other machines to connect to the server. The path to the oracle \bin exists in my environment variables settings. When I attempt to connect to our server using the conventional in-house tools, I get the error "ORA 6413 "Connection not open.". However, when I use the "Oracle ODBC test" GUI, I can see the tables to to the DB on our server and seem to connect.
I know this product is probably not supported. But this is not an option for us. I must support this applications use. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
MB

Downgrade your xp os to 32 bit.
You could install Oracle's Free VirtualBox on your 64 bit system and install xp OS as a VM inside that. Then install the 8i client in the 32 bit OS.

Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client Operating System Authentication

Hi.
I am trying to get OSA to work with Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client, is this not supported?
I get the following Error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Here are some of the variations of connection string, I have been testing with.
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Trusted Connection=True;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Trusted Connection=True;
Integrated Security and Trusted Connection gives me, unknown or illegal connection string attribute errors.
My first assumption would be that my Operating System Account doesn't have access to the Oracle Database I am trying to log on to.
But I am fully capable of connecting to the database with OSA with sqlplus, sqldeveloper and toad.
Can somebody explain to me why this isn't working? And what I may do to fix it?
It may be worth mentioning that I am trying to use the 12c x86 ODP.NET Managed Provider, against 11g/11.2 Oracle Databases.

That's correct. Kerberos is not currently supported by managed ODP.NET. We are working to support this feature, but don't have an ETA on when it will be available.
What company or organization is requesting this feature?
I believe there's an open feature request for Kerberos support in the Oracle .NET Feature Request Tool. Fee free to add your vote to this request.

Free Oracle 9i CD

How can get a free Oracle 9i Database CD ?

Does the free sample CD for 9i application server includes the 9i database installation? I am looking for free installation CD on the 9i database for Linux.

Oracle 10g client installation on OpenVMS 8.3 Itanium

I am trying to perform the installation of Oracle 10g client installation on OpenVMS 8.3 Itanium. I am getting the OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) window up and as soon as I click the "next" button it errors. The error is:
SEVERE: OUI-10207:There is not enough disk space on the OUI swap area /dsa50/temp/OraInstall2007-06-05_06-19-23PM. Please make at le
ast 9MB of space available and retry.
The disk for the oracle installation temp location and home location are in different directories on the same ODS-5 formated disk. The disk has approximately 251711296 free blocks.
The trace.log located in the <oracle_home> area shows the following:

in ssGetVolumeFreeSpace:before getFreeSpace:DSA50
Vol name is DSA50
Disk name is [.DSA50]
Disk=, Free blocks = 3362
in ssGetVolumeFreeSpace:after getFreeSpace:3362
returning from ssGetVolumeFreeSpace
The "temp" disk is DSA50.
Has anyone seen this issue with installation of the client on a large disk?
Are there any suggestions on what to do to correct this issue?

SEVERE: OUI-10207:There is not enough disk space. This error may be present at the Open VMS Itanium platform at it is due to bug 5981203 "OUI CALCULATES AVAILABLE DISK SPACE WRONG" and bug 5580279 "OUI FAILS WITH OUI-10207 ERROR". It is fixed in 10.2.0.3.0
As a workaround, use a logical diskname or the volume name and not the physical device name

License terms for Oracle SQL client

Hi,
Is Oracle SQL client free of charge ?
if not, what is the license policy for this small application ?
thanks a lot,
Al.

What you mean 3 licenses for 8.1.7 ?
I don't think you can only buy 3 named user license for Oracle DB server.
Oracle client <> SQL*plus
SQLpus is only one of the utilities that included in Oracle client package.
If you have concurrent user license, you can install as many Oracle client you want but any given time only 3 concurrent session can connect to database.
When you download the Oracle client from Oracle website, there's full Term and Agreement you need to accept before proceed.

Downloading Oracle 11g client

I'm trying to download the oracle 11g client 11.1.0.7.0 version and on the download page, I saw the message saying "Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0)
for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)".
Is it just for MS Windows Server 2008? or will work on any windows based 32 bit machine?
Just asking 'cuase for 11.1.0.6.0 version, it just mentioned that 'Microsoft Windows (32-bit)'.
Thanks!

Just asking 'cuase for 11.1.0.6.0 version, it just mentioned that 'Microsoft Windows (32-bit)'.Yup - That one for Windows Server 2008 is specifically for that version. 'nuff internals have changed in Windows that Oracle had to release a special version to get a good install. It'll likely fail it you try it on an older version of Windows.
If it's not qualified for a specific version then it is compatible with all? older versions currently supported by the OS vendor. (I believe that Windows 2000 is not longer under official support.)
But that should not be a problem - the free download version is only for test/evaluation/training and you don't need any patches for that. WHen you are ready to put it into production. you'll properly license and get Support, at which time you can patch up to 11.1.0.7.1

System Error 1114 from ODBC driver in Oracle XE Client

Hello,
I am running into some problems connecting to our Oracle 10.1.0.2 database through the ODBC driver supplied with the Oracle XE Client. I set up a DSN, and the test was successful. I can get to the database using that DSN to import data into MS Access, but when I am having problems when I try to connect using a program I have written.
On the first connection, I use the following connection string:
DSN=orcl-xe
and I get the following response:
[28000] [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
which makes sense given that no password was provided.
On the second connection attempt, the user has entered an ID and password, and I use the following connection string:
DSN=orcl-xe;UID=mapper;PWD=brock01
This connection attempt, and subsequent attempts, result in the following error:
IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114 (Oracle in XEClient)
The driver was loaded and responded to my first connection attempt, so I don't understand why the second attempt would fail like this. After the first attempt fails, my program frees the various environment and connection handles, so there shouldn't be any resource issues.
Can someone tell me what system error 1114 means? I saw some information in another forum that indicated that a DLL might be missing, but I've got C:\XEClient\bin as the first entry in my path, and the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is pointing to the correct directory. As far as I know, all of the required runtime DLLs are available in the path.
Thanks,
Bob

I have been developing an Excel application using the Oracle XE client. At first, it created an ADO connection, from which I opened a record set. After this, it created several new QueryTables. This worked great.
Later, among other things, I needed to reverse the order of those connections. After two weeks of wasted time, I finally realized that was why I started getting the "Specified driver..." error. If I used a file that created the connections in the original order, it worked. If I left Excel open, the file that had the connections in the opposite order also worked. However, if I closed Excel and then tried the file that had them in the "bad" order first, it failed.
Somehow, just having created an ADO connection, even in a different file, even closing it and destroying the object, Excel remembered it and knew how to create the QueryTables. By the way, before I realized how to work around it, I noticed that I could create QueryTables in the front end and browse the data through Microsoft Query, but it would fail with the error when I tried to bring the data into a worksheet.
My workaround was to open an ADO connection, close it, and destroy the object BEFORE trying to create the QueryTables. It works, but I can't believe the time I had to waste getting there.

Oracle Lite and Oracle 8i Client on Win98

I've had Olite v8i running on my Win98 machine for a while now. I just installed Oracle 8i Client on my machine. Now, my JDBC driver for Oracle Lite does NOT work. What could have happened here??
Thanks.

HI Jeremy,
I think, Your PATH was cranked up.
The JDBC driver for OLite normally does not use any OCI DLLs, so that should not be the problem. As I said, the OLite dlls may be missing now from the PATH.
Any error messages? "Does not work" is a bit... fuzzy.
