Instant Client Downloads

The basic package, http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/instantclient/instantclient-basic-win64-10.1.0.3-20050303.zip, is corrupt.
Also, the extension for ODBC.

Thanks for reporting. This will be fixed shortly.

Instant client for SQLLDR

I see Oracle provides several instant client downloads. Is there a SQLLDR instant client, or a lite version that doesn't require the whole Oracle client for Linux (both 64 and 32 bit)?

yes - i am sure - things to consider:
the sqlldr needs to be from the same O/S (if obv, sorry)
you need to copy the contents of the rdbms/mesg/ folder so the status messages can be displayed.
make sure you've got a ln to bin and lib.
here is a typical instant client folder contents:
rdbms/mesg/ (directory)
network/admin/tnsnames.ora (directory & file)
lib     ->     ../instantclient_10_2
bin     ->     ../instantclient_10_2
install          (directory)
libclntsh.so.10.1
libociei.so
libnnz10.so
libocci.so.10.1
libclntsh.so.10.1
ojdbc14.jar
libocijdbc10.so
classes12.jar
sqlplus
libsqlplus.so
libsqlplusic.so
glogin.sql
sqlldr
hope this helps; let me know
also - i still have no exception or idea if Oracle Support will support this.

12c OCI Instant Client for Linux is on OTN

The Oracle Database 12c Linux x86 and x86_64 Instant Client bundles were pushed to OTN a few minutes ago:
Instant Client downloads for Linux x86
Instant Client downloads for Linux x86-64
Other platforms are still pending.
(The top level page for Instant Client is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html)

just curious... which distro are you running on SPARC 64??? :)

Help Using Instant Client ODBC on Linux

I am familiar with using ODBC and visual basic under Windows. I would like to use the Oracle instant client ODBC under Red Hat ES3 within a C or C++ program to access an Oracle database.
Where can I find documentation related to this:
a) setting up an ODBC connection on Linux
b) installing the Oracle instant client on Linux
c) building an application with Oracle instant client ODBC
Am I correct in assuming that any C/C++ ODBC code examples from windows could also be used on Linux.
Thanks,
Werner

We are also interested in the very same thing. We are using third party compiler called SIMSCRIPT from CACI which has a module called SDBC for database connectivity. SDBC requires ODBC to be installed/configured. Our application is for Linux, therefore we are interested in using the ODBC driver on Linux clients to connect Oracle database servers on Linux and Sparc. I see the odbc related zip (for 10g) and rpm (for 11g) instant client files on the OTN Instant Client download page. How to install/configure odbc instant client? Is there a document/whitepaper/Metalink Note ?
Thank you

SDK for Instant Client not available?

Hello all,
I'm new to using Oracle and I successfully setup my first 11XE install last week. I'm excited to begin using it but I can't get the OCI driver to compile so I can use it in PHP.
I have the linux/amd64 Instant Client 10.1 from the Oracle website but it does not have the headers file.
The docs say I need SDK for Instant Client but it is not listed on the downloads page for Instant Client. The docs also say there is a 11.1 version of IC but no trace of that either.
Is there another page which has all of these files?
I get as far as this in the configure script: "checking for oci.h... configure: error: I'm too dumb to figure out where the include dir is in your instant client install"
Thanks for your help!

You could search the 'net for instant client downloads x86-64, click relevant link, search page for SDK. Versions from 11.2, 11.1 and 10.2 releases should exist on found page.
Note that a dedicated forum exist, {forum:id=190}.

Instant Client with SQLServer2005 Linked Server

I have successfully installed Instant Client 11.2.0.1.0 on my Windows Server2008. I am able to create an ODBC data source selecting the driver "Oracle in instantclient_11_2". I have also been able to link tables from Access to Oracle. I can logon to Oracle through SQLPlus and execute a query against the Oracle database. I am unsure how to set a Linked Server object in SqlServer 2005. When I use "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers" and supply the Product - DBName and Data Source - ODBC data source previously created here is the error I receive:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB1".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB1" returned message "Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114 (Oracle in instantclient_11_2).". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

Although the 10.1.0.3 instant client for windows doesn't appear to be "officially out", if I try to download
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/instantclient/instantclient-basic-win32-10.1.0.3.zip and similar files, the files do exist.
Unfortunately this version still can't connect to my corporate Oracle database:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0, 64 bit - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
Oh well, back to a full client install of Oracle 9i.
Perhaps the official release when its documented on the Instant Client download page will work.

AIX 64-Bit Instant Client

Why does the instant client download only include libclntsh.a and libocci.a for the Client Code Library and the OCCI Library respectively? Where are the .so dynanimc link libraries with the instant client? I see those with the full Oracle install in the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory on AIX 64-Bit.
Does that mean that to build instant client compatible apps, I can only statically link libclntsh.a and libocci.a? I'm a little confused since the documentation suggests otherwise.

That one is easy, and I will explain it in a second.
What really is mysterious is that "polittba" gets an error on "ar -t libclntsh.a", but that may be due to a corrupted file...
For what it is worth, libclntsh.a from 10.2.0.4 yields the following checksum:
$ cksum libclntsh.a
1526887592 24719097 libclntsh.a
To your problem: The error message is misleading. "ldd" can find libc.a fine, the "Cannot find" is an incomplete error message for a different library that "ldd" cannot find.
Very annoying, and I would say that this is a bug in AIX' implementation of "ldd".
The "Cannot find" is actually because it cannot find libclntsh.a
See for yourself: if you set LIBPATH correctly to point to your instant client directory, you get:
$ LIBPATH=/wherever/instantclient_10_2 ldd libociei.so
libociei.so needs:
/wherever/instantclient_10_2/libclntsh.a(shr.o)
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)
/usr/lib/libdl.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libodm.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libperfstat.a(shr_64.o)
/unix
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libcfg.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/liblvm.a(shr_64.o)
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
PS: I just notice that Instant Client 10.2.0.4 for AIX ships with both libclntsh.a and libclntsh.so.
That is a bit confusing because - as I said some postings above - the former is a shared library.
But then what is libclntsh.so?
"file" will tell you it is a shared object.
Now look:
$ ar -t libclntsh.a
shr.o
Ah, this shared library contains exactly one shared object. Let's extract it:
$ ar -x libclntsh.a shr.o
Now compare shr.o and libclntsh.so:
$ ls -l shr.o libclntsh.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 laurenz staff 24140392 May 10 20:36 libclntsh.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 laurenz staff 24140392 Oct 24 08:59 shr.o
$ cksum shr.o libclntsh.so
1406909702 24140392 shr.o
1406909702 24140392 libclntsh.so
They are the same!
So Oracle ships the same thing twice: once as shared library AIX style (*.a) and once as shared object.
I assume that this is to cater to those people who come from other UNIXen and look for *.so as a shared library.
Or ported tools that do the same.
You can use both the shared library *.a and the shared object *.so for dynamic linking.
The linker "ld" will search for both if you pass "-lclntsh" and will take the first one it finds.
If both are in the same directory, "ld" will use the *.a library, but you can change that preference with the "-brtl" flag.
Sorry for the long rant that probably is not interesting to most, but I feel that there is much misunderstanding of shared libraries on AIX amoung people who come from - say - Linux.
And one more attempt to clear that up can't hurt.

Instant client for Solaris AMD x64

Hi,
I am desperately looking for OCI instant client for solaris AMD x64. I tried instant client download page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html) but it is not listed there. I have no idea who to contact within Oracle or Oracle tech support.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I've just downloaded the basic and sqlplus zip files and sqlplus works fine. sqlplus is linked to libclntsh.so.10.1, so I doubt that file is corrupt.

Instant client with Oracle 8i server

Triying to intall oracle instant client

Hi Buddies;
I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
I got to create the next:
Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 67053 Nov 15 2006 genezi
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5486009 Nov 15 2006 libnnz10.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1398088 Nov 15 2006 libocci.so.10.1

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1545954 Nov 15 2006 ojdbc14.jar
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 120135 Nov 15 2006 libocijdbc10.so
My doubt is, which of them to execute?
And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks and best Regards;
Al

At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
/home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
/etc/tnsnames.ora
/<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
Hope that helps.

CVE-2013-3751 and Instant Client 11.2.0.3

The README for the July 2013 Database GI Patch Set Update mentions Instant Client Installations needing Database PSU 11.2.0.3.7 to address CVE-2013-3751. Further details on the CVE at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujuly2013verbose-1899830.html#DB say “Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized Operating System takeover including arbitrary code execution. “ The Patch README references the Oracle Call Interface Programmer’s Guide and in there I found this relevant section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10646/oci01int.htm#autoId37
That document spells out the steps required create Instant Client zip or RPM files. That’s great, but here at my company we haven’t gone through these steps in the past. We simply go to the appropriate page on oracle.com ( Instant Client Downloads ) and download what we need.
I’m assuming the vulnerable file is in the “basic” package. I looked at linux x64 zip today and it has not been updated.

I have 2 questions.
Q1. If I apply only the database server home patch, will my database server still be vulnerable to takeover if the unpatched Oracle Instant Client from oracle.com is left out on my various app servers?
Q2. Is there any effort planned at Oracle to replace the vulnerable versions of Instant Client posted on oracle.com with updated versions no longer vulnerable?

I opened a Service Request with My Oracle Support. Here is the response.
Q1 answer:Yes.
Q2 answer: yes, ETA is next patchset release Q3CY2013

Download old Instant Client Version 10.1.0.4 for Linux

Hi to all,
the downloads for version 10.1.0.4 of Oracle Instant Client
for linux seem to be not available anymore.
Where can I download the packages:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip and
instantclient-sdk-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip ?
Thanks

for OWB metadata, run this following script
<OWB_HOME>/owb/reposasst/upg/upg10gTo10104.sql
For runtime data
<OWB_HOME>/owb/bin/unix/RT_upgrade_to_10_1
This is only if it's NOT upgrading to 10gR2 database
If you are upgrading to Oracle10g Release 2 with partial export and
import and if you are changing the database instance or the computer
hosting the database, then run the migration script:
For UNIX, navigate to OWB_HOME/owb/bin/unix and run
RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh.
The RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh prompts you for several parameters:
the User Name and Password of your original Runtime Repository
schema, the database connection string for your original Runtime
Repository (in the form of host:port:servicename), the User Name
and Password for your new Runtime Repository schema (whose values
should match the original Runtime Repository), and the database
connection string for the new Runtime Repository (also in the form of
host:port:servicename). Additionally, as it runs, the script prompts
you for SYS User Names and Passwords for the Oracle Database
instances for any Target Schemas and Oracle Workflows being upgraded.
