Instant Client on Windows is released!

Instant Client has been released on Windows! See
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
for details.
There is also a separate forum for Instant Client:
Instant Client

Talking about registry settings...
Where is ODBC? Is there a separate driver install?
Description mentions "Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications (and ODBC on Windows)". But the two (or is it three) driver files are missing form the archive and moreover you would need the .reg info to configure odbc datasources.

When instant client for windows:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html will be available?
Thanks.

Now, it seems :)
Thinking about it, I later downloaded Client CD from:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/winsoft.html
On the Select Install Type page we have as the first choice: InstantClient
New Installations (9 products)
Oracle Client 10.1.0.2.0
Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.2.0
RDBMS Required Support Files for Instant Client 10.1.0.2.0

Maybe it's not quite complete after all, or Oracle just forgot to update the Instant Client main page...

Any simple program available for testing instant client for Windows

Any simple program available for testing installation of instant client for Windows.
Thankx in advance

Having a program means you need a dev environment to compile, link and then test it with your instant client env.
I would suggest you download sqlplus ZIP and connect to a DB server.

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

Instant Client on Windows

I know how to setup instant client on unix but I need to setup this on windows so that the dev can access the database using odbc, I just want to install the basic + odbc libraries and I have downloaded them too. But can anyone tell me what env varables do I need to configure on windows in order to get it working.
Mainly I want to configure one tnsnames.ora which I can refer while creating the DSN to use odbc.
Client: Win XP
Server: Linux + Oracle 10gR2

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 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?

Instant Client 10.2.0.1 for Windows 64-bit x86-64?

Does anyone know when Instant Client for Windows on x86-64 might be released?

We also badly need that build - thanks in advance ;)
One of our customers uses a Citrix Farm based on Windows 2003 Server x64 (EM64T), on which our Client has to run (using the ODBC-driver of the Instant Client) and that customer don't want to install the Oracle Client.

Oracle 11g Instant Client availability on Windows

We have just installed and tested new features on Oracle 11g Linux and Windows.
We had a problem in the deployment phase, we installed the Oracle Instant Client in Windows connected to Oracle 11g Server with Linux.
The systems seems is not working correctly, when will be the instant client 11g for Windows available?
We have a urgent need to know it.
Thanks a lot.
Stefano

I don't think the instant client is available yet for windows nor linux.
As for the 11g client beta on windows, you can get it via ODAC.

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)
Thanks!

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.

Instant client with Oracle 8i server

I am pretty new to Oracle.
I just installed instant client on my xp workstation, and set up all the variable. I am trying to connect to a Oracle 8i server.
Can instant client connect to Oracle 8i?
Thank you!

Oracle 11g INSTANT CLIENT for Mac OS 10.8 with SQLLDR and WRAP

To Oracle please upgrade INSTANT Client 11g and/or 12c (future) and include two additional utilities I always use SQLLDR and WRAP. Currently I have to open a Linux VM to wrap and use SQL*Loader. I would prefer to do it all in the terminal window.
Actually I would like to see sqlldr and wrap utilities included with all instant clients (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc)

Can you see the difference? (btw i am sure, genezi -v as sidadm worked with 11.2.0.1)
sidadm > /oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient_10204/genezi -v

Or check in SAPGui -> Menu -> Status
Cheers Michael
PS: the cause for the behavior is, that there is always a client library in the $ORACLE_HOME directory too. And you have to be careful which one you (genezi) picks...

Instant client 11.1.0.7.0 for win32

I've been told by the folks on metalink that the new version of instant client for windows (which I hope has support for Pro*C apps) is due for imminent release but they can't be date specific, as the OTN and support are two entirely different functions (don't they talk to one another?)
Does anyone here know when it'll be available for download?

user10858876 wrote:
When will there be updated packages for Solaris on x86/x64 systems,
or is this platform not supported anymore?Good question, and one we would like to know.
Due to Oracle's redicoulus NDA for new release versions no one within Oracle seems to be able to tell us, which as a customer we find unresonable. We were told last year, about this time that we should expect a 11gR1 release around Oracleworld. That came and went. Again we asked, and were told that it "might" be comming out as a 11gR2 version.
Fine. We will renew our support agreement when we know you will support our platform.
