How to install ODBC driver minimally

Oracle9i provides ODBC driver download page. the dirver is small, only 2M after installation. However, it does not work unless Oracle Net Client is installed correctly.
The question I want to ask is, what components should I install for the Net Client? or is there any straightforward installation program for ODBC driver?
I just want to make the installed ODBC driver and its dependencies use minimal Hard Disk space.
Thanks,
Mike

Unfortunately, that's as small as it gets if you want to have a supported configuration.
If you're really stuck, you may want to investigate third-party ODBC drivers. DataDirect has a "thin" ODBC driver they'd be happy to sell you.

How to install ODBC driver

I am trying to test very simple JDBC connection. I have a database on my local machine and I just want to run some very basic SQL queries. When I am trying to run following code I am getting error saying ODBC driver is not available. Any help is highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance
CODE:
public class TestJDBC
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try{
               System.out.println("Hello World!");
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               String url = "jdbc:odbc:<localDB_name>";
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"scott","tiger");
               Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
               stmt.executeUpdate("create table testHk(testId number(10), testName varchar2(7) )");
          }catch(SQLException se){
               System.out.println("Some error while getting Connection to database");
               System.out.println("Exception is ===" + se.getErrorCode());
               se.printStackTrace();
          }catch(ClassNotFoundException ce ){
               System.out.println("Class Name is not found");
ERROR msg is -

Absolutely,
Your URL will be different, and will be along the
lines of:
for ORACLE...
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:sid";['thin' refers to a specific driver that allows you to
not have an oracle instance running on the client
machine... port 1521 is teh default, check for
changes... and 'sid' is your instance name]
for mySQL...
String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/sid";[you can guess]
There will be a driver either incuded with your DBMS
(you don't say which you have) but u need to either
place it in your classpath (it will be either a zip or
a jar), or unpack it and place it in your
application's codebase (if you plan to jar the whole
app up and deploy it that way), either way you need to
refer to the driver class using the following method
in the constructor:
for ORACLE...
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");for mySQL...
Class.forName ("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");You do not need to instantiate this driver, you are
just telling the context where it is...
then all you need to do is...
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,
"user", "password");
Statement s =
con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);and you are away!
Totally platform independent and no messing around
with ODBC toss
good luckHI,
these drivers will be loaded automatically when we install the respective softwares ? or we have to install them explicitly??

How to install ODBC Drivers in Oracle

Hello All,

Please help me how to install ODBC Drivers on Unix platforms....
Sridhar.

Please help me how to install ODBC Drivers on Unix platforms....You should be able to install them as a component of your client (or server) installation. Just use the Oracle Installer to add them.

How to install hard drive into mac pro

how to install hard drive into mac pro

I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
For one, should I partition the drive?
My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

How to install ODBC drivers ALONE in OUI?

Hi, I need to install ODBC drivers in oracle clients, so I choose "Customized" installation and then the "Oracle Windows Interfaces" component. However, OUI will also try to intall the Microsoft Transaction Server component under the previous mentioned node, and also "Oracle Object for OLE" and "Oracle Provider for OLE DB".
The question is: how can I install the ODBC drivers ALONE? I want to keep my clients with the minimal possible installation.
Thank you in advance.
Leandro.

Have you looked at the 10g Instant Client? That's going to be a lot smaller and a lot easier to install.

Getting MS Access Error Code 1157 when installing ODBC Driver

I am not an Oracle programmer, so please forgive me if this is a simple question. I am trying to access an Oracle database using MS Access 2000. I'm following the step-by-step instructions that our IT department sent to me, but I did not have the Oracle ODBC Driver installed. I downloaded a driver from OTN, but when I try to set-up Access to use the Oracle Driver, I get a dialog box that says the setup routines could not be loaded because of system code error 1157. What does this mean? Is this an Access or Oracle problem? How can I get Access to connect to Oracle? Thanks for any help.

I'm guessing that you don't have the Oracle client installed. If this is the case, you probably want to bother the IT folks for the CD (or a pointer to a local copy of the image). You can download the Oracle client off OTN, but it's a very large download.
If you do have the Oracle client installed, check your PATH environment variable to see whether the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory is in your path.

Installing ODBC Driver

Hello:
I'm running Windows XP.
I just downloaded the ORA10203.exe driver. I ran the file and the files were unzipped into the following directory:
c:\ORA10203.
How do I now install the driver? When I look in Data Source in my control panel, I see it listed nowhere.
Can someone help?
Thank you.

The readme text states:
Part IV: Installation Instructions
This section assumes the following:
1. Oracle 10.2.0.0.0 client has already been installed on your system,
and necessary 10.2.0.3.0 patch has been applied.
2. Part III has been completed.
Installation Instructions
Once the self-extracting archive file ORA10203.EXE has been
exploded it will create an directory structure as shown below on
your hard drive.
The directory structure after unzipping and where the files to be
copied are shown below:
1. a. ORA10203\bin\sqora32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
b. ORA10203\bin\sqoras32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
c. ORA10203\bin\sqresus.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin
2. a. ORA10203\ODBC\html\ODBCRelnotesUS.htm ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
b. ORA10203\ODBC\readme.txt ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
3. ORA10203\ODBC\mesg\oraodbus.msb ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\mesg\
As far as I understand it is saying "copy the files to the Oracle home". Yet this still does not install the driver. The Microsoft Data Sources tool says "use the driver's setup program".
I don't see one provided, nor does the Universal Installer seem to be applicable here.

Simplest way to install ODBC driver?

What is the simplest and least invasive way to install Oracle ODBC driver?
Do I need to install the Oracle client? Seems like there should be an easy way to do this.
I have an Oracle table I want to share with about five people. The best way I know how is to do it in MS Access through ODBC.

Yes, you need an Oracle client installed in order to make use of the Oracle ODBC driver.
The simplest approach would be to download and install the full Oracle client, which includes an ODBC driver (though you may have to do a custom install to select this), on each client machine.
You could use the Oracle Instant Client, rather than the full Oracle client, which is much, much smaller in size than the full client, but requires more work to get set up. The Instant Client was originally designed for developers to install as part of their own application's installation procedures, so you need to set up some environment variables to get things to work and you don't get some of the GUI's that you would get with the full client.
Depending on the Oracle version, you may also want to consider writing a small APEX app to expose the data in the table to whoever needs it.

Only when you will do this download:

Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect,
Install from a list or specific location,
Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.
