Install Oracle 9i client on a computer with Oracle 10g Client

Hello all!!
I'm using a computer with Oracle 10g client, and I access two databases. One server has Oracle 10g server, and the other server has Oracle 9i server.
I want to install 9i client, to have it also in my computer. I haver read that I just have to install it in a different ORACLE_HOME, but I have a doubt.
If I install 9i client, would I be able to use the utilities, (exp, expddp, sqlldr) of both versions, or which version will be used in the command line for the utilities.
Thanks a lot!!!

To start with, Home Selector is a "9i thing" (and older), in 10g there's the OUI -> Installed Products... -> Environment tab instead.
About the 9i dbca with other Oracle products installed. If you use launch.exe to start via dbca start menu shortcut, it uses ora92\assistants\dbca as working directory ("start from"). So when not looking for "numbered dlls" like oracore9.dll, a later/different version will be loaded if earlier in path, since loading goes through jre directories, ora92\assistants\dbca, then the dir's from path variable. From there it may start to link in libraries from different homes (on my laptop, "launch.exe dbca" uses files from 2 additional home paths!)
But, if you instead use dbca.bat started from ora92\bin, it will look in the right directories first and there's no dll mess-up. (But only when using the correct cwd!)
Plain and simple: stay very far away from multiple-general-home installs. It is possible to install allright, in different homes and all very nicely, but there will be pain when you decide to use the stuff (perhaps with sql*plus as the only exception, but I've run into bugs with that too).

Hi All,
I am a novice in database(SQL,PLSQL) programming and hence want to learn and practise very deeply in detail for which i want to install Oracle 10g client with Toad 9.1.So need your advise on the process.
(a)Do i need to download entire Oracle Enterprise Edition Installation for Vista? I have read in one of the forums that downloading only the Oracle Client is enough?
Can you please advise me?
(b)I already have the TOAD 9.1 setup with me which i can install.But,i do not know that how will i use TOAD interface and connect to the oracle database.
(c)Also,any sample script/database with some tables that i can use for learning complex SQL query writing would be very helpful.In brief-any project that i can work on in building all the requirements by writing SQL which simulates real time scenarios of SQL development.
Please help me ,i am struggling.
Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for all your inputs.Its very useful and presently I am following the steps suggested.
I had another doubt with respect to this.While attending a oracle course,the instructor had told about an installation option of installing oracle 10g on Linux using VMware/virtual -i am sorry i am not sure about it.
So,can you please give your inputs about this process as I dont know about how to setup?
(a)What are the tools that i will need to build a virtual machine in my present computer with Linux as the OS?
And,what are the steps we need to do ?
(b)How do i use a vitual machine if i install it? I mean how will it work?
(c)Then,at last how do i install Oracle with Linux on that?
Please help me with some more inputs

My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

I can't install Oracle 10g Client in x86-64(Intel EM64T)

Dear All,
Recently, I tried to install the Oracle 10g client in Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0 with x86-64 (Intel EM64T) platform. As I know,that is either Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g has been certified to Redhat AS 3.0 operating system.
How can I install Oracle 10g normally under all x86-64 platforms? Or, When does Oracle to release out the patch for all x86-64 versions?

Please reffer to Installation section.

How to install Oracle 10g with its grid functionality on Linux?

Well, I thought changing the subject line might help to convey the meaning of what I want better. Here's my earlier post from a few hours earlier.
Hi,
I need carry out TPC-C benchmarking test for Oracle 10g (using one, two and four servers; basically using the grid in case of multiple servers). I have installed oracle 10g (with default options) on all the four servers, but beyond that I have no idea as to how can I invoke the grid option in order to carry out the tests-by my statement, I mean do I need to choose grid option while installing Oracle or is it the case that I specify the grid option in the code that I write for carrying out the tests. The OS is LInux (Scientific Linux).
An unrelated problem-one of the servers is 64 bit while others are 32 bit, and proper versions of oracle have been installed. Neglecting the obvious fact that this will make comparisons difficult does anyone anticipate any other problem?
Many Thanks!
Steve

Do you think that the installation of RAC can be done
in a week? yes, as long as you know what you are doing and can catch the concept quickly and good at following instructions.
Moreover, we do not have a cluster-all we
have are four servers that are separate. Do you know
if the name Real Application Clusters implies that
the servers have to be in a cluster?
The basic idea of RAC is all these hosts need to share same set of storage. The most popular such storage are SAN and NAS.

Installing oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

Thanks for your reply.
Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

this error apear:
Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.
how must I set de DISPLAY variable if I have instaling in a local system?
Thanks

Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.you apparently set the display correctly (:0:0) if you are installing locally.
You could do a xhost + as user531326 if you did not start your X session as oracle

How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3? Seriously frustrated. I put the disc in the drive and nothing happens. I open up add/remove programs and I get an error message stating it can't find a disc. I chatted with Adobe support, and they decided to send me here. Probably because they knew I wanted to spend all day online trying to figure this out.

Download from Adobe's website, install then enter your serial number.

What should I do to install OS X Mavericks on a computer with OS X 10.6.8

What should I do to install OS X Mavericks on a computer with OS X 10.6.8

Firstly ensure you have full backup your can restore from - Time Machine or clone, in case you need to restore to the previous OS for any reason.
Make sure your computer meets the specs: https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although the tech specs say 2gb of RAM is required, user experience seems to indicate that at least 4gb is required for real-world use.
Be aware that any older PowerPC apps will not longer run as Mavericks (or Lion and Mountain Lion) don't support Rosetta, which enabled the ability. If you rely on any you may need to do lots of updates or replace some apps. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of compatibility of various apps:
http://roaringapps.com/apps
If you decide to upgrade download and install Mavericks from the Mac App Store (in the Apple menu). The installer is 5.3gb, so it's a large download. You may want to make a copy of it onto an 8gb USB stick or DVD as it could save you another big download in the future.
To do this quit the installer before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. (Once the download is complete you are prompted to click on the 'install' button - it's at this point you quit. The file is downloaded to your Applications folder as a file called 'Install OS X Mavericks').
Some people make a bootable disk of the installer - this can be easily done using Diskmaker X:

I tried to google and noted that there are some RUMOS say "We cannot deploy ORACLE on a Domain Controller, It's impossible"
Is this true? Please, Please advise!

Installing oracle 10g with oracle 9i

hi,
I have windows 2000. I alreardy have oracle9i and working fine.
Is there anyway to install Oracle 10g without distrub the existing oracle 9i.
can I have both on same server?
Thanks

HI Håkon,
No, there is no entries in the Windows Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES\ID0 (ID1, ...)
for Oracle10g, so "Home Selector" does not know sbout Oracle10g.
The switching homes actually changes the PATH putting Oracle bin entry in the beginning of it and this is what I meant for switching manually.
However you can create manually for Oracle10g manually in the Registry in order to use "Home Selector".
Regards,
Vladimir.

Here I am using Java Type IV for database
connection.
So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.

How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
Thanks in advance
Mayank Adhikari

The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
Toad 9.7.x.x
SQL Developer
SQL/Plus
Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.
regards,
