How to install Oracle ODBC driver...?

TOM,
Presently, I have oracle client version. But there no Oracle ODBC driver in my PC. But, I want to install only Oracle ODBC driver in my PC for ODBC Connectivity purpose.
How to install & where can get the source?

I found out the real answer!!!
On another thread there was a link to the client 10g installation. I download that 480Meg monster. Unzipped the package and launced the setup.exe.
You can then install just the ODBC using the custom option. But, it will not install the tnsnames.ora file. If you have ever done this from a VB app, copy the tsnnames.ora over to the \network\admin folder. It's usually under the oracle\product\client\10.0.2\ folder. Once installed you can launch the ODBC administer either from the link Oracle installs or from the control panel.
Next, you need to make sure the folders where the .dll file is readable to the iis. Change the folder to add whatever permission group you use for iis (I happen to have setup a local users group {machinename\users}. Add them to the entire folder structure (check the embedded folders to ensure they are readable).
While setting up the ODBC, the TSN names will now be listed from the tsnnames.ora file (if properly located). To make the connection work, the userid should be 'userid;pwd=password'. Otherwise the connection failed for me.
Now, if your connection works okay from the odbc test connection, it will probably fail if accessing through iis (like from a .asp page). There are environment path variables that need to be set. Reboot the server for them to get set. Otherwise you will get a ODBC driver can not be loaded do to system error 1114 message.

  • How to install Oracle-ODBC-Driver in WAS 6.40

    Hello,
    I'm new in Netweaver/WAS. I developed a Webservice, which uses JDBC to access a oracle-Database. I use the JDBC-Driver in classes111.zip. So classes111.zip has to be in the classpath.
    For Tomcat there exists a lib-Folder, where I cant copy the driver, so that every deployed Application/Webservice etc. can use it.
    Is there such a Folder in WAS, or how can I deploy the Driver to WAS?
    Thank you,
    Chris

    Hi,
    this thread should answer your question:
    Where must I add the classe12.zip from Oracle in WebAS

  • Errors when installing Oracle ODBC driver

    I've been trying to install the Oracle ODBC driver version 9.2 but each and every time I tried I am getting the following error messages that are preventing the Universal Installer to install it:
    There was an error loading the following libraries:
    areasQueries
    After I hit ok, another message pops:
    There was an error loading the following libraries:
    WindowGeneralQueries
    Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this problem? I tried downloading from the otn web site various 9.2 releases, 9.2.0.2, 9.2.0.5 and 9.2.0.5.4 but all of them are giving me the same error message. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the JRE but still the same problem occurred.

    When you install the Oracle client, a base version of the Oracle ODBC driver will be installed by default (you could customize the install not to install ODBC). Before we tackle the ODBC driver patchset instll, I'd like to make sure that the basic client software installed correctly.
    - Were there any errors thrown when you tried to install the 9.2 Oracle client?
    - Once you installed the Oracle client, were you able to connect to databases via SQL*Plus?
    - Is the Oracle ODBC driver on the list of ODBC drivers in the ODBC Data Source Administrator?
    - Can you connect to databases via the base version of the ODBC driver?

  • Download and installing oracle odbc driver alone

    Hi all,
    I wanted to find out if I can download just the oracle odbc driver and install in without actually installing oracle database or client version on windows PC.
    thank you

    You will need to have some Oracle software on your machine for the Oracle ODBC driver to function.
    If you can use the 10g client, you can install the 10g Instant Client and the ODBC driver. The Instant Client is a minimal set of libraries that allow components like the Oracle ODBC driver to work. The 10g client, though, is not certified to connect to databases earlier than 8.1.7.
    If you have to use an earlier version, you have to install the full Oracle client, which is not a small install, to be able to use the Oracle ODBC driver.

  • Installing Oracle ODBC driver from within another installation

    My application requires ODBC driver. Is it possible/recommended
    to install the driver from within my installation program (other
    than invokig the ODBC's setup program)? If so, what are the
    files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need
    to be updated and other activities perfromed?
    Thanks
    Michael

    In order for the ODBC driver to function properly, the Oracle
    client must have been installed on the user's machine. If the
    Oracle client has been successfully installed, users will have
    the Oracle ODBC driver.
    Since the Oracle client install is very large as installers
    go, you probably don't want to package this with your app. In
    addition, the Oracle client installation is pretty significant
    in terms of what it does, so you definitely don't want to try to
    replicate that work in your installer.

  • How do install Oracle ODBC

    Thanks a lotDoes the machine that you are trying to configure have the Oracle client software installed?
    When installing the Oracle client software, the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. I do a standard run-time installation, then go back and run the installer a second time, this time selecting 'custom install' - select to install in the existing ORACLE_HOME (by default it will prompt for a new one), the select to install the Windows components.

  • Instal oracle ODBC driver

    Hello,
    I'm new to Oracle, and i have a client with a Oracle Database.
    No problem, and i started downloading the drivers...
    But unlike Drivers from other manufacturers there is no setup.exe to intal the driver.
    I've downloaded 3 differente drivers, of differente types, and there wasn't a single setup.exe, instal.exe, instal.bat or someting like that.
    How can i add a new datasource to ODBC drivers in order to connect to a Oracle 10g database?
    Thank you,
    Joaquim

    Sure Oracle is a virtual jungle with many product suits, technology, downloads and documentation so it takes a while to learn how to navigate through. Be patient and curious.
    If I google for oracle instant client odbc or use the otn secure search for instant client odbc, I quickly find the downloads pages including the one given above. E.g. the Instant Client downloads for Windows link leads to a page which lists 10.2.0.3 and packages including Instant Client Package - ODBC.
    Btw, the regular or full Database Client is a completely different beast, that sorts under Downloads -> Database. If you click on the downloads link for your platform you will find the Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2, e.g. 10201_client_win32.zip. (if you want a "complete" install using this install package you may also need ODAC for OLEDB patch and Database Patch Set for upgrade to 10.2.0.3 and maybe a ODBC fix or two - so it's a much heavier installation to handle).

  • How to install the Oracle ODBC driver for all NT users

    I need to schedule a task on a SQL server running on NT to access an Oracle DB.

    How is it possible to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for all NT users ???

    The above link is a comprehensive "How to get set up and on my way" that I made for someone else learning Oracle/jdbc. Kind of a self-help resource page. I would start from the beginning and download the newest drivers, then set up your environment,...etc.

  • How to detect which Oracle ODBC Driver is installed using VBA Excel

    Hi,
    I have an excel workbook containing database queries that uses an oracle ODBC driver to update data. However different machines have different versions of the ODBC drivers installed and so although the code works on my machine, it doesn't on others because the ODBC connection reference is different.
    So as a first step, I would like Excel to automatically find what ODBC drivers are installed when the macro is run so that I could dynamically change the ODBC connection reference depending on what drivers are installed.
    The connection strings relating to ODBC drivers are in following formats:
    Machine A: "ODBC;DRIVER={Oracle OraDb11g_home1}
    Machine B: "ODBC;DRIVER={Oracle in instantclient11_1}
    ETC
    All machine run windows XP.
    Alternatively would there be an easier way to connect to a shared orcale database without the need of installing any additional drivers?
    Thanks,
    Lucas

    Problem with Excel & ODBC drivers really has NOTHING to do with Oracle RDBMS.
    I suggest you tag your post as "Off Topic" & post it in some Excel forum instead.

  • How to select active Oracle ODBC Driver programmatically?

    Hi,
    My application creates ODBC DSN to connect with Oracle 10g database server. I need to find out Oracle Driver installed on the system programmatically. I am trying to read KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry key and eventually searching ORACLE_HOME value. This helps me in searching Oracle Driver in ODBCINST.INI registry key. (Oracle in OraDb10g_home1)
    If multiple Oracle clients are installed on the same system, multiple KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry keys and oracle drivers would be available. I am not sure which and how to select the current active oracle driver.
    Oracle in OraDb10g_home1
    Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
    Can anybody help me out? Can I use inventory file (inventory.xml) to determince current active home directory? Reading PATH environment variable to identity active home directory would be tedious.

    Please look at following thread for answer.

  • How can I do to get Oracle ODBC driver in Windows?

    Hello,
    Please, I need help to use Oracle ODBC driver in Windows 7. I installed Oracle Client 10g with the ODBC driver, but I can't use it. OracleODBC driver don't appear in the driver list when I want to create a new datasource. How I can do to get Oracle ODBC driver for create a new datasource?
    Thank
    Edited by: user4528703 on 13 mars 2010 02:01

    Hello,
    To get the ODBC driver you should run a custom Oracle Client installation and Select
    Oracle Windows Interfaces 10.2.0.1.0.
    Then, you'll get the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.1.
    But, be aware that Oracle didn't certify Windows 7.
    So, if afterwards, you experience some trouble, think to install Oracle with Xp compatibilty mode, or
    wait to Oracle 11.2.0.1 which will be certified on Windows 7.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • Installed Oracle 9.2 Administrator - No Oracle ODBC Driver Option Found

    If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I just recently de-installed Oracle 8i on my laptop and installed Oracle 9.2. Once I finished installing 9.2, I went to set up a data source and realized that there is no Oracle ODBC Driver option available when setting up my datasource. In addition, I am unable to configure or delete any of my existing data sources that were created with the Oracle ODBC Driver.
    I have de-installed and re-installed 9.2 Administrator at least four times now. In between the installs, I have removed the old Oracle directories, services, entries in my registry and PATH. The result is still the same, not Oracle ODBC Driver option available after the installation. I get no errors when installing and the ODBC Drivers indicate that they have been installed. I have even tried re-installing the drivers and still get nothing.
    Please help.
