Instant client libraries 32-11.1.0.6.0

I install Oracle 11g (windows 32 bit platform) on windows 2003. It installed successfully and is up.
From another windows 2003 machine, I am trying to connect from a windows application to that oracle server using instant client libraires.
I had downloaded instantclient-basic-win32-11.1.0.6.0 for windows. I also downloaded instantclient-odbc-win32-11.1.0.6.0.zip
to the same location say C:\instantclient. Also I installed odbc_instant.exe from this folder. It said "ODBC installed successfully".
and added this path (C:\instantclient) to path variable. I set this path for TNS_Admin also in system environment.
When I try to install my application, when I select oracle connectivity, I had to give path for odbc drivers.
I selected this path "c:\instantclient" for oracle client libraries where I had downloaded the client libraires.
It gives error "Could not find required ORACLE Instant Client Libraries in the path specified"
Please help how to get these client libraries to connect to the oracle db server 11g.
thanks in advance,
Prema S

I would recommend two things.
1. Open an SR and ask support where to find what you are looking for.
2. Move your company to 64bit because 32bit is a terminally ill and the respirator will be removed very soon.

    Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
    Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
    Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
    The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
    Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
    Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.

  • Oracle Instant Client libraries wouldn't install

    I tried installing Oracle libraries (main file is called "oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1.i386", SDK and SQL according to the manual Oracle provides here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B1930601/install.102/e12121/insttask.htm#CIHEJFGF
    After files is unzipped, manual instructs to use "runInstaller" command out of the directory where files are placed but this command is not recognized which tells me that either command file is missing or command is spelled wrong in the manual.
    If anybody has successfully installed Oracle Instant Client on OS X 10.6 from the official Oracle download, please help! Thanks in advance.

    Ok - I ran an ugly hack (similar to what I did with Linux) and manually moved files to locations which Oracle considers default and which do not require environmental variables, as follows:
    When in the directory where Oracle client files were unzipped, run these commands:
    cp sdk/include/*.h /usr/include
    cp sqlplus /usr/bin
    cp lib /usr/lib
    Also, to be able to install OCI8 PHP module, following symbolic link will need to be created:
    A symbolic link will need to be created as follows:
    cd /usr/lib
    ln -s libclntsh.dylib.10.1 libclntsh.dylib
    I then installed oci8 for PHP and DBD::oracle for Perl and ran some test files, they work. However, if somebody knows why libraries didn't install with the command, as manual instructs, please answer! Thanks in advance!

  • Oracle Instant Client and OUT Parameter of custom type in Stored Procedures

    Hi @ all!
    I try to set up a simple client application, that calls a stored procedure via Instant Client from C#.
    The stored procedure and assiciated types looks like this:
    TYPE MYVALUE AS OBJECT
          Id      INTEGER,
          value     FLOAT
    TYPE MYVALUELIST AS TABLE OF MYVALUE;
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT MYVALUELIST)
                                           IS
    ...I created an Oracle Command executing this SP and added OracleParameters for ID and (where I got stuck) the RESULTSET.
    Is it possible to pass a parameter with a custom type from C# in some way?
    I already tried it as a function with SELECT * FROM TABLE(ReadValues(1));
    With my parameter RESULTSET as the RETURN type. But since I use DML within the procedure, this does not work inside of a query...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Greg!
    Sorry, I misunderstood the forum topic then. =(
    Anyway, in the example you provided in the link, this is nearly exactly my situation. But there the Oracle.DataAccess.Client is used, where the OracleDBType can be called to initialize an object of type person. I use the instant client libraries called by using System.Data.OracleClient. There is only the OracleType enum, that does not contain an object or something similar.
    So I do it right now after trying a bit with a ref cursor parameter and an OracleDataAdapter - the ref cursor is passed back from Oracle as a DataReader, so die DataAdapter is able to use it for a .Fill():
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
    cmd.Parameters.Add("RESULTSET", OracleType.Cursor).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
    OracleDataAdapter odr = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable result = new DataTable();
    odr.Fill(result);Within my stored procedure I just added the following OUT parameter:
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT sys_refcursor)
                                           IS
    currentlist MYVALUELIST;
    ... [Adding elements to that list] ...
    OPEN resultset for select * from TABLE(currentlist);It works now, but I don't like that solution that much since I'm always afraid that there are lots of opened cursors idyling around. Do I have to close this one explicitly after filling my table by the DataAdapter?

  • Php 5.1.2 doesn't seem to recognize the --with-oci8-instant-client option

    I just tried configuring php 5.1.2 with the --with-oci8-instant-client option and could never get phpinfo() to show the oci8 section...
    Finally went back and tried php 5.1.1 and it worked.
    If anyone else could verify this behavior, maybe the PHP folks should be notified??

    Discovered the issue:
    the configure script changed the format of the config option
    in php 5.1.1:
    --with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support using an ORACLE_HOME
    install. The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME
    --with-oci8-instant-client[=DIR]
    Include Oracle (OCI8) support using
    Oracle Instant Client. DIR is the directory with the
    Instant Client libraries. On Linux it will default to
    /usr/lib/oracle/<most_recent_version>/client/lib
    Other platforms will need to have it explicitly specified
    HOWEVER, in php 5.1.2:
    --with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support.
    The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME.
    Use --with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/oic/lib
    to use Oracle Instant Client installation
    This explains why the --with-oci8-instant-client option is ignored.  The new format is:
    --with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/libs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client Error

    We are testing a Oracle Solaris Express 11 Server with the standard Apache and PHP installation. But we need the Oracle Instant client and the oci8 module enabled for our company applications.
    We did this by using ./pecl install oci8 in /usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
    a 32bits solaris (x86) version of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link made.
    envvars:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    he oci8 module installed and php loads it.
    phpinfo(); output:
    oci8
    OCI8 Support enabled
    Version 1.4.6
    Revision $Revision: 313688 $
    Active Persistent Connections 0
    Active Connections 0
    Oracle Run-time Client Library Version 11.2.0.2.0
    Oracle Instant Client Version 11.2
    Temporary Lob support enabled
    When we first view a site there is no problem but very randomly we get the following error:
    OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*
    but when we use echo getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php the output is "/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2"
    now the strange this is as randomly as it appears it disappears we can load the web-page without problems and after a couple of clicks the error is back. if we wait a coupe of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normaly.
    The error appears to be random and we get it over and over agian, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are viewed. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing on the website.
    Is there a fix for this? is this an known bug? It seems strange the instant client works some times and fails a second later without a change in the system.
    Hope someone can help us.

    Solved it by compiling apache 2.2.20 into 64bits using:
    CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure enable-so enable-cgi enable-info enable-rewrite enable-deflate enable-ssl
    and compiling php 5.3.8 into 64bits:
    CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs with-gd with-zlib disable-ipv6 with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ with-png-dir=/usr/ with-freetype-dir=/usr/ with-pear with-openssl with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
    and using the 10.2.0.4 instant client.
    there might be a bug in the 11.x ones, they dont seem to work on Oracle Solaris 11.

  • The Instant Client SDK on Linux was released today

    The 10.1.0.3 Linux Instant Client SDK was posted on OTN today. See
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
    You can now use Instant Client to compile PHP. You need to modify
    PHPs configuration scripts first. One suggested change is given in
    PHP bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31084 The diff in the bug is a
    little awkwardly wrapped. Here it is again for ease of

  • Instant Client not working on Windows Server 2003

    Hi everybody,
    I have installed the Instant Client libraries on a machine running Windows Server 2003 in order to connect to a remote Oracle server. I also installed the sqlplus package. I copied them in a local directory, updated the Environment variable PATH and restarted. When I try to execute sqlplus to test if everything works fine, I get the following errors:
    sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl
    SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
    SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
    Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect() I get an error like:
    PHP Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries
    I checked it and the PATH variable points to the instant client libraries.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I get the following errors: sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect......Like the error suggested, the instant client libraries does not include the Network Service required by SQLPLUS.
    The connect string you are trying to use doesn't work for SQLPLUS. SQLPLUS will need proper TNS names configured.
    In another words, instanct client libraries installation is not enough to use sqlplus. Use Runtime installation or Customized installation.

  • Instant client on windows 2000, path problems

    I have successfully installed the client and all work fine. But from time to time for no apparent reason php script gives an error
    "Warning oci_connect (): OCIEnvNlsCreate () failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries."
    I checked the environment variables, they are correct.
    If you restart Apache, everything starts to work fine. What may be the problem?
    (sorry for my English, it's not my native language)

    I agree, but this is for the QA group and they generally test the app and access the DB using app only but now for some certain modules they want to check the data in the database but they dont know how to write SQL so they decided to use microsoft sql writer (I never used it :) ) and for that they want to setup odbc and for that they need client, so they are not going to use sqlplus and that why I just wanna install instant client on their desktops.

  • Instant client and Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019

    For an older Windows app, I am exploring using Windows 32 bit IC  instead of a full Oracle client installation:
    IC 10.1.0.5 works fine for me but has the problem of not being able to connect if run from a folder containing parens ().  ie.,   C:\Program Files (x86).
    IC 10.2.0.3  gives the error "Cannot load any communication DLLs, network may not be installed".  SQL+ works.
    IC 10.2.0.4 gives the error "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019".  SQL+ works.
    Does someone know why these three versions of IC would behave this differently on the same environment?
    I have tried all sorts of things with ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN with IC 10.2.0.4.
    Do you know which client version is the first to have the fix for the known C:\Program Files (x86) connect problem?
    Or are their patches to IC 10.1.0.5 that I could implement ?
    Any help or enlightenment would be appreciated.

    The web server is not seeing the Oracle environment correctly. You need to set PATH to the instant client libraries. ORA_NLS33 is not used for Oracle 10g clients. Perhaps you have some library conflict with two versions of Oracle on the machine?
    These may help:

    Your PATH includes "C:\instantclient_11_2;O:\ora11202". This hints that you have multiple versions of Oracle installed, which is common cause of issues.
    Do you need Instant Client?  If you already have an Oracle DB you don't really need Instant Client unless you have a particular version requirement.

  • Instant client AIX library search paths

    If you use the AIX "dump -H" command against the various Instant Client libraries, you'll notice that some non-existant paths (from the original build) are included.
    For example:
    $ dump -H libclntsh.a
    shows a library search path of:
    /b/114/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
    This can create security problems, particulary with set-uid programs which link against such libraries.
    When you next build your AIX libraries, you may wish to use the "-bnolibpath" or perhaps an explicit "-blibpath" directive with the loader.
    Just a thought. Thanks for providing the Instant Client.

    Thanks for the report.

  • Can a program compilied with 32 libraries work with Instant Client 64 bit?

    We are compiling our program on IBM AIX 5L and HP-UX PA_RISC with 32 libraries (using ORACLE_HOME/lib32)
    for AIX and HP-UX RISC the only available Instant Client 10gR2 is 64 bit. there is no 32 version.
    can a program compilied with 32 libraries work with Instant Client 64 bit?

    64 bit clients can be downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/index.html
    That said, Visual Studio itself is 32 bit, so if you want the developer tools to work, you'll need a 32 bit client. If you're not using the developer tools in your project and you're compiling your project for AnyCPU or x64, the 64 bit client will work. If you're compiling for x86, you need the 32 bit client. (If you want to do both, you'll need two clients installed.)
    edit - Actually, it looks like in this case you might be running into a problem of needing a 32 bit client & ODBC connection. The error mesage could be misleading here as Visual Studio itself is 32 bit. Did you create the ODBC connection using control panel? If so, that's a 64 bit connection.
    32 bit ones are created using c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe

  • Attempting to Run 'Instant Client' via XCode on Mac OS X (v10.4.6)

    Environment: OS X (10.4.6) on G4.
    The Setup:
    I used 'Oracle Instant Client Installer' {http://www.kyngchaos.com/} to install the necessary Oracle libraries here:
    [Users/oracle]ls /usr/local/oracle/lib
    libclntsh.10.1.dylib* libclntsh.so@ libnnz10.dylib@ libocci.dylib.10.1@ libocijdbc.dylib@
    libclntsh.dylib@ libnnz.10.dylib* libocci.10.1.dylib* libociei.dylib* libocijdbc10.dylib@
    libclntsh.dylib.10.1@ libnnz.dylib@ libocci.dylib@ libocijdbc.10.dylib*
    I've read that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is rather "archaic" for the Mac OS X vs a directory of dylibs accessable directly from XCode.
    2) I set the XCode 2.2.1 Library search Path as:
    USER_HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = /usr/local/oracle/sdk/include
    LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = /usr/local/oracle/lib
    ==============
    So my questions are:
    1) How do I find the available APIs?
    I've looked at an on-line example but don't know what I'm doing.
    I saw some source-code demo on-line so I essentially cut/pasted the following code.
    The following is what I've done within the NSApp's Delegate method:
    #include "/usr/local/oracle/sdk/include/oci.h"
    static OCIEnv *p_env;
    static OCIError *p_err;
    static OCISvcCtx *p_svc;
    static OCIStmt *p_sql;
    static OCIDefine p_dfn    = (OCIDefine ) 0;
    static OCIBind p_bnd    = (OCIBind ) 0;
    int p_bvi;
    char p_sli[20];
    int rc;
    char errbuf[100];
    int errcode;
    @implementation AppDelegate
    - (id)init {
         self = [super init];
         if (self) {
              rc = OCIInitialize((ub4) OCI_DEFAULT, (dvoid *)0, // Initialize OCI
              (dvoid * (*)(dvoid *, size_t)) 0,
              (dvoid * (*)(dvoid *, dvoid *, size_t))0,
