Instant client - compatibility

I'd like to try the OCI thick-client option to get around some irritations I've encountered with the thin client (cancelling queries, large data sets). So far I've not found a version that works. The only advice I've found is to use a more recent version than my DB, and to use 64 bit as I'm on a 64 bit machine. I've tried 4 different instant client installs, including the most recent (11.2.0.3.0) and I don't have time to try them all. The highest version caused SQL Dev to crash completely! With lower versions I get:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation: oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.getLibraryVersionNumber()I Vendor code 0
Could someone point me to a matrix of tested/supported versions?
My SQL Dev version: 3.2.20.09, Database versions vary between 9i and 10g

I do suspect yours is not a problem of compatibility between SQLDeveloper and instant client, but with the ojdbc6.jar file shipped with SQLDeveloper and the instant client.
You should try to set an ORACLE_HOME variable pointing to your most recent instant client installation, this way SQLDeveloper should be able to pick up the correct ojdbc6.jar shipped with your instant client of choice.
You can check the currently selected ojdbc6.jar by lookin at the property
jdbc.libraryin
Help -> About -> PropertiesObviously the instant client you point to should be of the same "bit level" of the SQLDeveloper installation as Jeff already pointed out.

  • PHP 4.3.11 Oracle Instant Client  10.1.0.4 and my firewall

    I've successfully compiled php with oci8 instant client support.
    The web server is in the DMZ and Oracle on a windows machine in my
    local net .. I've set up my firewall to allow the communication
    betweeen my web server and the oracle machine by freeing the
    standard port 1521.
    when I call the ociplogin function I pass as server argument //192.168.10.3:1521/medDB which match my oracle server configuration.
    As result I become
    Warning: ociplogon(): ociopen_server: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
    Well I've checked my firewall ad I noticed it blocked connections from
    my web server to my oracle on the port 1035.
    Today I rebooted the web server .. restarted apache
    and on the firewall I had the same blocking
    but this time on the port 1044.
    Someone knows something about this strange behaviour ?
    thank you in advance

  • TOAD 8.5 with Oracle Instant Client 10: ORA-03134

    Hi,
    I have tried TOAD 8.5.0.50 and also TOra 1.3.16 to connect to the database via Oracle Instant Client 10, but I am restricted with this error message:
    "ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported."
    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Earlier version of TOAD works alright. We are using Oracle 8i. Are there any compatibility issues between Oracle database version with Oracle Instant Client version?
    Thanks.

    Just want to share with everyone. This is a reply that I got from another forum:
    this is a oracle bug!
    connections with the 10g client are supported to 8.1.7.0 and above.
    the bug in the client causes this error.
    you are only able to connect to 8.1.7.4 and above.
    i made a service request but oracle is not able to patch the
    instant client.
    you have to use 10.1.0.3 client or above
    Regards.

  • Cannot get ODBC to work with Instant Client

    Hi,
    I am having problems getting ODBC working with instant client. This is what I have done so far:
    1. I installed Instant Client from this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
    The file I downloaded was: instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
    2. Next, I installed SQL*Plus with this file: instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
    Now I have SQL*Plus working with instant client.
    3. After that I downloaded instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip for ODBC.
    4. I unzipped the odbc zip file into the Instant Client folder and ran odbc_install.exe. Now I have 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' showing up in the drivers tab of ODBC Data Source Administrator.
    5. Now, if I try to add add a DSN and choose 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source, I get an error "ODBC Administrator has stopped working" (http://i50.tinypic.com/jifl2g.png)
    I can add DSNs using any other data source without problems. The aforementioned error comes up only when I use 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source.
    Can someone please let me know how to resolve this?
    I am running Windows Vista Business edition 32-bit.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ubaidullah Nubar.

    Two dimensions of compatibility/requirements:
    Vertically - This is your application, APIs, .Net, operating system etc. that may define requirements on Oracle Client version, and vice versa.
    Horisontally - "on the wire" or connectivity wise - Oracle certifies client - server interoperability at least two releases or major versions back/apart, so yes, 10.2 is/was* supported. See MOS interoperability matrix for your specific case.
    (*was since 10.2 Database is out of support or even Extended support by now. Perhaps it is time to upgrade the server side also ;-))

  • Not able to connect VS Web Developer Express through instant client 10

    I just spent 10 hours attempting to connect Web Developer Express 2010 to an Oracle 10g database. In the end the solution was beyond simple, but with the existing threads there is a lot of talking around the problem. I’m posting this in case it might help someone else.
    Obtain the Oracle instant client software that will work for your database. You will only need the basic package.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
    Extract the contents to a temp location on your hard disk
    Create a directory for the application – it could be anything, but here is what I used
    C:\instantclient
    Copy the extracted files into the directory you just created.
    Right click on my computer and choose properties
    Under advanced and environment variables you will need to add the directory you created above to the system variables PATH. You will need to create a new system variable called TNS_ADMIN and put the same c:\instantclient path in it.
    Create the file tnsnames.ora under the c:\instantclient directory and put your customized entry in it. Below is an example.
    tnsnams.ora file contents
    <Alias for this tnsnames entry> =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Your Oracle Server>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = <Your database instance>)
    It’s a good idea to restart your system after this installation.
    In web developer express use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
    Here is the key piece of information!!
    Under server name you need to use the alias from the tnsnames.ora file entry. If you do not do this it will not pick up the SERVICE_NAME parm and will give you some goofy error like:
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
    or
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

  • Why do I need instant client if I installed 11g1 and it works

    sqldeveloper works
    em works
    sqlplus works
    I have a problem with oci8, php 5.2.6, apache 2.2 ...all are installed and working
    All the instructions I've found (and there are many) talk about
    (1) Zend installs what I already have
    (2) installing apache, oci8, php and instant client form scratch
    I am NOT going to reduce a working system to scratch.
    BTW my oci programs work and they have in the past worked through a client.

    What Oracle Software is installed on the machine: client or server?
    I concur that there is no need for Instant Client here, indeed it would be a bad idea.
    Anything that works with Instant Client should also work with the regular client.
    If you encounter any Oracle-specific error messages, feel free to post them and ask for an opinion (even though this forum is reserved for Instant Client, it might be an obvious problem).

    Hi Rolf,
    It's works when you don't have a oracle.dataaccess.client settings(like to change oracle types).
    At the end I had to install ODAC using Beta 2, because i am using mapping settings(oracle.dataaccess.client).
    I am looking to test the new version 11.2.0.2.50, it's looks like have a XCopy version.
    Let us know if you test the new version.
    Thanks,
    Jorge

  • Availability of RPM Linux x86-64 10.2 instant client

    good morning,
    an increasingly important platform for us is Linux x86-64 (actually RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 x86-64), the instant client is available only in zip packaging. Could you indicate whether and approximatically when it could be made available in .rpm package.
    It is very important for our deployment on all of the client machines.
    I thank you a lot in advance for your time and answer,
    eric
    PS: on RHEL3 x86 platform, we use the RPM version of the 10.2 Linux x86 and this is very convenient. We would reproduce the same ease of deployment for RHEL4 x86-64

  • Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

    Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
    What I did so far:
    I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
    Unzipped the basic zip.
    Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
    Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
    Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
    Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
    From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
    I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
    What am I missing?

    hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

  • Unable to install 64-bit Oracle ODBC Instant Client on Windows 2008 R2 machine.

    I am trying to upgrade the Oracle ODBC driver from the 32-bit version currently installed (ODBC Instant Client Release 10.1.0.5.0, April 2006) to a newer 64-bit version but have not been successful.  I have had success at uninstalling and reinstalling the existing 32-bit version package (release 10.1.0.5.0) however when I've tried to install the 64-bit ODBC Instant Client (Release 12.1, December 2012), I run the odbc_install.exe application inside the package.  it appears to run without issue/compliant, but then I do not see the 64-bit Oracle ODBC driver anywhere, either if I go via the traditional Administrator Tools --> ODBC Data Sources or if I go to the c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe route.  Further investigation into the ReadMe file (ODBC_IC_Readme_Win.html) reveals that you need the 3 DLLs oci.dll, oraociei11.dll and orannzsbb11.dll which the package does not come with. Where could I obtain the correct version of these DLLs or else where can I get an installation package which already contains them?
    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  • Windows 7 64 Bit machine with Instant Client and 32Bit application

    Hello everybody,
    the last days a tried to get a 32Bit application to run on a Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit machine ... unfortunately with no success. The application runs on XP Pro and Vista Pro 32 Bit machines against a 11g RDBMS for years. As a refenence we use SQLTools from sqltools.net. It has nearly the same behaviour like the application, because it is a 32 bit application too.
    First thing was to install a 64 bit environement to verify if the connection is allright.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip an instantclient-sqlplus-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Unpacked both packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Made a directory C:\oracle\tnsnames with tnsnames.ora in it, because the app uses it
    - Set the environement variables TNS_ADMIN to point to C:\oracle\tnsnames and added C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2 in front of the path variable
    - Restarted the machine
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    Everything was allright, I was able to connect to the database as expected
    Second thing was to start SQLTools, but as I feard it quitted with an error message when trying to access oci.dll of the instant client.
    So i decided to switch to a 32 bit environement as a third thing.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basiclite-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip and instantclient-sqlplus-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Deleted the old C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Unpacked both 32 bit packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Didn't change anything in the environement, because nothing changed from the view of the system
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    But now I wasn't able to connect and got the following error
    ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
    SQLPlus was able to start now, but when trying to connect to the database I got the same error like when connecting with sqlplus.
    Does anybopdy have an idea how to manage to get a 32 bit application to run on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine?
    Thanks in advance
    My packages:
    Windows 7 64 bit SP1
    Oracle Instant Client basic lite 11.2.0.2.0
    SQLPlus 1.5 22D

    Have you tried WOW64 ? I have not used this emulator for sqlplus but it works for other 32 bit applications.
