Is Oracle 8i Client installed?

What's the best way for a setup program to find out if Oracle 8i client is installed on a machine? Is there a specific registry key or file I can look for? I also need to get the Home name and Path.
Thanks,
Tom Jordan

1. use below select statement to find the version.
SQL> select * from v$version;

Oracle 9i client install fails to load disk 3

I downloaded the Oracle 9.2 database software from OTN. I'm trying to install the 9i client from this software. I've extracted the disk1, disk2, disk3 to separate directories. I run the install from disk1 and it gets about 90% into the install, then it requests disk 3. When the "Disk Location" dialog box comes up I set the path to the appropriate location for disk 3. Then I click OK. The OUI comes right back with the same dialog box. I have verified that the path to disk is correct. Any ideas? The install cannot get past this.

Negative. The installer only asks for disk 3. I'm installing from the Oracle 9.2 Enterprise Edition download. I'm just choosing to install the client. I just figure for a client install, it doesn't need to access the contents of disk 2. Incidentally, even if I direct the installer at disk 2, I receive the same results. Nothing happens.

Oracle 8i Client install over Oracle 9i

I am trying to install Oracle 8i Client over top my Oracle 9i installation to support 8i EXP processess. It is appearing that it works (i.e. Universal Installer runs through everything like it is installing) but afterward if I run the Univ Installer to look at installed programs it is all still version 9.2 items and my migration of 8i to 9i still does not work. How do I force an overwrite?
Pretty sure I am not a P4 so that should not be the issue. Am I missing something on how to get 8i over top 9i?????
Thanks for any help,
Miller

If you want to install that software you have to do it in a different Oracle Home. If you want to export a database or part of it with the export uitility of Oracle8i client you will be able to do it without installing Oracle8i Client on Oracle9i.

Oracle 8i client install. at mobile PC's

Hello,
i'll try to install a Oracle 8i client at a laptop, but it failed.
I start autorun.exe. I can see the first mask, but the pick at the install-button failed.
The installation at non-mobile-computers are correct.
What can i do?

Oracle 9i client Install hangs at 33%

Hi Guys,
I am trying to Install Oracle 9i client on my windows xp laptop. The install hangs at 33% with (at the process "setup install types"). Is it a known issue?
Thanks
thedba

I just had the same problem - stopped me for an hour or 2. Solution is stupid tho. before invoking the Installer make sure you have c:\Oracle or whatever, then answer Ora92 to the Oracle Home, and c:\Oracle to the path. I hit browse and went to c:\Oracle before hitting Next. Installed fine after that.

You need the files sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora. I think the
sqlnet layer looks for them in /etc initially, or possibly
/var/opt/oracle, but setting the environment variable
"TNS_ADMIN" will override this.
If you want to link the stuff dynamically, then run ldd against
a dynamically linked executable, copy across the libraries you
need to the client, ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the
library directory, and that TNS_ADMIN points to a functional
pair of sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files. (Ie, you need a
stanza in the tnsnames.ora file that points across to the
instance on the server).
Or something like that. It's not very neat and Oracle support
would have a heart attack. Unless you are running several client
processes simultaneously static linking may be simpler.

Oracle 9i Client Install on Mac OSX

Is there a way to just install the Oracle client on Mac OSX 10.2.7 (not OS X Server)?
I downloaded the 9.2 Mac installer, but everything I've seen/read shows this installation will install the DB server and set up a database.
If anyone knows, please let me know... I'm just looking to connect (through PHP CLI) to a Oracle DB within our corporation. Thanks.

Hi,
Checkout MacSQL on www.rtlabs.com, there is info on installing Oracle OCI client and a link to the client only software.

Libnspr4.dll fails to load if Oracle instant client installed

I have tried Instant client 10.2 and 11.2 and this dll fails to load. If I go back to Oracle full client 10.1 the Message queue works correctly.

I'm trying to load from .\lib and I've found that it is really looking for .\lib\lib. That is workaround for now.
Something is changing where . is.

Oracle 10G client Install on Windows

We recently had our Oracle client upgraded from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10G. Now when we sign into the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, select a user schema and right click on a table to View/Edit Contents, the records display but when i select a record and try to right click to Add Row / Delete all i get is a solid gray bar, so i can't delete the record. I am thinking this may be a permission problem of how the client was installed, but have no idea where to start. Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

Use this step-by-step guide.

Attempting to install the oracle Client on my RHEL5, laptop.

As far as im aware i have the oracle user setup correctly... However im getting this pretty big exception.
There is a post saying to be sure to have the following installed:

One way to install the missing packages is to open a terminal session as root and enter this on the command line:
yum install package_name
It will either install the missing package or tell you there is nothing to do. Forget about metalink. You can only access that if you have a support contract. Go to here and you will find information on the required packages for a client installation.

Oracle 11g Client Installing - invalid entry size

Oracle 91 Client Install image download?

Hello!
Sorry to take up time and space here, but I thought that this might be the place to ask. I'm looking for the place on OTN to download an Oracle Client Installer. We have several developers that need connectivity. I would like them to have SQL Plus as well as just the naked JDBC drivers.
Haven't found it on OTN; haven't found it within our 9i install (Solaris). I'm a developer also; I'm not dba-smart.
We are licensed for this. Somewhere, someone knows the needed information to call Oracle Support, but hopefully this is a little more timely than chasing that down.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

Daniel,
You might want to take a look at Instant Client. It's a very lightweight version of the Oracle Client.

Minimal size oracle 8 client install

I need to set up a PC that has a client program which
performs various transactions to an oracle server. How
do I go about setting up a PC with the absolute minimum
oracle 8 components required to do this? My client PC has
very limited capabilities in terms of disk space. I've been
using MySQL which worked like a charm, and had a tiny client
side installation, but the company wanted to go for the oracle
image etc...
I've tried linking my client program statically on the server
machine, then copying it to the client machine (+- 3Mb), but I'm
not
sure how to set up the networking so that I can connect to the
server. If I install from the CD, and only select client and
SQL*net, the installation is 106Mb!!!
I'm sure this should be a really common problem, please somebody
shed some light on this...

Oracle 9i Client install

I am installing on a WinNT Service Pack 6 platform with Internet Explorer 6.0 with 128-bit encryption. The install is located on the network. The install gets to 96% completion, extracting ftsbody.htm and just sits there. I have left it running over night in hopes that something will change, since letting it sit for 30 minutes to an hour made no difference. If you have any suggestions, please help.

MR.Scott, where are the other details? In which OS that the user is trying to install. The sym file problem it not there in 9i.
