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.

  • 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!

  • 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).

  • Problem Installing Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit on Windows 7 Enterprise 64

    Hi,
    I am having problems installing the Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit installation on my Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise machine. The installer does all the checks successfully, it gets me to summary screen and I press finish to start the installation. It then opens the installation mask where it first says Checking whether Central Inventory is locked by another OUI session. After that it very briefly shows Central Inventory is not locked and then the window immediately dissapears with no other errors. I tried installing at my colleague's W7 Enterprise 64 machine and it behaves a little differently but with the same result. Basically on his machine it never even opens the Install mask, when pressing finish from the Summary it just disappears and never starts installation. I tried installing 11g R1 and that loads the first mask and when i press next it just dissapears. I basically need an oracle client 64 bit installation on my machine deperately. Please help. Thanks
    Alex

    One user above reported installing the 64 bit odbc drivers and then the 32 bit drivers. How did you do that? I'm a neophyte to this.
    I'm trying to get a 32 bit ODBC oracle driver to work on a server 2008 R2 machine. I downloaded the 11gR2 x64 client from oracle. The install process makes no mention of 32bit vs 64bit installation. After running the instalation I can run the ODBC administrator and generate a DSN for oracle. When I run the 32 ODBC administrator there is no oracle driver available except the microsoft driver for oracle. When I select that it says that I need to install oracle.
    I had at first tried to install 11g instant client. However that didn't work for the 2008 R2 machine. It complained about some registry error when I tried to run the ODBC install program. I need to get it to work for a customer asap.

    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.

    Edited by: 1001322 on Apr 20, 2013 7:23 AMIn addition to the other comments, you need to make the distinction between the oracle database and the oracle client.
    the application interacts directly with the oracle client software. The application should not know or care about the word length of the database.

  • Problems: install oracle 10g 32 bits on RH 5.8 x64

    Hello,
    Someone has given me an oracle 10g 32 bits to install on a Redhat 5.8 64 bits server (no other server available).
    I have a lot of errors during the installation process
    exemple:
    INFO: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /oracle/client/10x_32/lib/libxml10.a when searching for -lxml10
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml10
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    I installed libxml10 64 and 32 bits on the system !
    I would like to know if this configuration is POSSIBLE ???!
    If yes, what is the solution / process to fix these compli. problems :-|
    Thanks for your help !

    I've never seen any 32-bit software that DIDN'T run on a 64 bit OS, as long as the necessary libraries are installed.
    I used this process: is it the good one ?
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/oracle-db-10gr2-installation-on-rhel-5.php
    Tim does a very nice job with his stuff on oracle-base, but that is NOT the official documentation. Why not use ORACLE'S own installation guide? Have you seen http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
    And why are you installing a a version of Oracle that is out of support?
    And as long as you have a 64-bit OS, why would you want to run a 32-bit version of Oracle?

  • Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
    Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
    and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
    Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hello,
    When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
    What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
    If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
    Hope this will help.
    Best regards,
    Sylvie

    Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode?  Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which).  And what does THAT buy you on a server?
    I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop.  Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.
