Licence for Oracle Client 9i

Hi (again :-))
thanks to Justin Cave for previous help, I've already downloaded and successfully installed Oracle 9i Client Runtime and ODBC drivers with support to server 8.1.6 and it works.
OK, but now I need to be sure about licence. I've tried to find some information in documentation, but there is not (I've not found it) explicitly written about licence to Client's runtime.
I need to know, if I can use this basic part* of client if I own licence for Oracle server (above) or I have to purchase some parts this client. If I can use it, so where is it possible to read it (I need some quotation for my boss)
Thanks a lot
Pavel
* basic part means without any special packages for administration, analysing and so on - "runtime" option in installer

First, licensing questions really ought to be directed to Oracle Sales. You (and your boss) don't want to be in a position of explaining that "some guy on the internet told me I was OK" should your Oracle licenses every be audited.
My understanding is that the Oracle client runtime does not require a separate license from the Oracle database. If you are using named user licenses for your database, however, the number of machines where the Oracle client is installed may be highly correlated to the number of named user licenses you have.
You can go to http://store.oracle.com to get licensing information. If you look at the US price list (April 2004) http://oracle.com/corporate/pricing/ePLext.pdf, there does not appear to be an entry for the runtime client.

Are there any licencing costs for Oracle Clients ?

11.2/Solaris 10
In my shop, we only install Oracle Client of type Instaclient (not the 'Administrator' type). Instaclient is very basic ; it only has some basic library files and sqlplus binary (no tnsping , exp, imp,...etc). I think they are doing this for saving licence costs.
Does oracle actually charge for Oracle Client installations ? If so, is there a significant cost difference between 'Administrator' type and 'Instaclient' type ?

How do I set-up on %ORACLE_HOME%\bin for Oracle client on Windows XP

How do I set-up on %ORACLE_HOME%\bin for Oracle client on Windows XP?
The Oracle bin directory is: C:\oracle\ora90\bin
Thank you!

If you are asking how to setup the resolution of %ORACLE_HOME%\bin to C:\oracle\ora90\bin, you must create a system environment variable called ORACLE_HOME that is set to a value of C:\oracle\ora90.
Kind regards,
Russ

Where to running SQL Scripts after install of ODAC for Oracle Client?

I just installed ODAC for Oracle Client on a windows server, that runs a sql server database, for developers to connect a web app to an Oracle/Unix database. The install states to run SQL scripts located in the $ORACLE_HOME\ASP.NET\SQL directory after the install. I'm not sure where to run them? On the ORACLE DB on the Unix server? If someone could bring me up to speed I would appreciate it. Thanks.

If I do run the scripts, do you know what user they should be run as? The developer are using ASP.NET for connectivity.
Why there is no Oracle Expert answer this simple question? ?
After ODAC 11.1.0.7.20 installation completed, there is a message in the last screen:
*"Run the SQL script located in c:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\ASP.NET\SQL directory for a new installation or an upgrade of Oracle Providers for ASP.NET"*
The question is: How to run these 9 SQL scripts ?
In SQL*Plus, which oracle user should I connect to in order to run these 9 scrips, including:
InstallAllOracleASPNETProviders.sql
InstallOracleASPNETCommon.sql
InstallOracleMembership.sql
InstallOraclePersonalization.sql
InstallOracleProfile.sql
InstallOracleRoles.sql
InstallOracleSessionState.sql
InstallOracleSiteMap.sql
InstallOracleWebEvents.sql

Hi,
There is no record option with 11gR2.
There is no need to use '-record' flag to record/save the response file. At Summary page of installation, 11gR2 installer provides option to save the response file. We can perfom the silent installation using this saved response file
Unix:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile <saved_response-file>
Windows:
c:\software\11.2.0.1\database\setup.exe -responseFile <saved_response-file>
For more details, kindly refer

You don't even specify which Linux!!
As per your question. I don't understand. You need ODBC for Oracle 11.1.0.7.
What has this to do with Linux 64bit ??
From Linux, simply install a client and use SQLnet, not??

Throws Core Dump for OCISessionBegin() on Linux for Oracle Client v10.2.0.2

hi,
The OCI method, OCISessionBegin() is throwing an core dump on 10g client in Linux on C++, but the same code works fine for 8i and 9i client. Core dumps for 10g Client. 10g tnsnames.ora file is same as of 9i. I just debeggued with the core and says failing in OCISessionBegin() method. I would like to know is there any problem with Oracle Client v10.2.0.2? or how does i can solve the issue? appriciate a quick help in this regard.
Thanks,

Have you looked in the Knowledge Base information at metalink? That would be the place to start.
If that does not work then the next step would be to remove this thread and post in the OCI - OCCI forum where there are people that can actually help you.

Any compatibility issues for Oracle Client 10.2.0.4.0 and Snow Leopard?

Now that Snow Leopard is out and in fact in my hands, are there any known compatibility issues relative to the Oracle client software that is available from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
Thanks.
BTW, it might be worthwhile to know about the following web site:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
and for someone from Oracle to post an appropriate listing there as that site is becoming known as a central resource for such queries.
Marc

Guys,
I appreciate all of your replies, but:
1. Just to be clear, I am talking about running the CLIENT (SQL*Plus) on Snow Leopard, which will connect to Oracle 11g, which is running on RHEL 5. I don't care in the least as to whether or not Oracle 11g will run on Snow Leopard. Today, I run the CLIENT on Leopard from the CLI and can connect to 11g on RHEL 5 just fine. I use the Actual Technologies ODBC driver (http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_oracle.php) for queries in other applications and I have a similar query regarding Snow Leopard compatibility into them.
2. @damorgan: Are you telling me that the client software that I can download from Oracle here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
was written by Oracle and certified by Apple to run on Leopard (10.5)? I am curious, because today, it was Microsoft and not Apple that put forth the statement that Office 2008 is fine on Snow Leopard:
http://www.officeformac.com/blog/Ready-for-Snow-Leopard
Are you suggesting, as a parallel, that Apple did the certification of Office 2008 for Snow Leopard, not Microsoft? Or that Apple and not Cisco, will certify that Cisco's VPN client will work on Snow Leopard?
Thanks,
Marc

ODBC setup error for Oracle Client

Hi,
I'm trying to setup ODBC connection for my Oracle client while installing BO. Following are the steps I followed.
1. Downloaded the Oracle Client from the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html . From that downloaded two zip files. “Instant Client Package – Basic Lite" and “Instant Client Package – ODBC”. Extracted the Zip Files to the folder I created under C: as C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2.
2. Since I'm setting up in ODBC in windows 2008 64-bit R2. I was advised to install 32 bit . So in cmd prompt, from the location C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2, ran odbc_install.
3.Created the Environment variables as
i) *TNS_ADMIN - C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
ii) *Oracle_Home - C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
iii) *Edited the PATH variable with ;C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
4. Created the tnsnames.ora file in C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2. Its content are as follows.
clarity_dev =
     (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS_LIST =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = claritydev.vip.its.ebay.com )(PORT = 1521))
     (CONNECT_DATA =
     (SID = clarity)
5. From the folder %windir%\sysWOW64\odbacd32.exe, Opens ODBC Data Source Adminsitartor. In that I found my Oracle in instantclient_11_2 and added following details.
Data Source Name : claritydev.vip.its.com
TNS Service Name : clarity_dev
User Id: clarity1
When I test connect it, I get error *ORA-12154:*
*     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified*
Could you please help, I've seen FAQs for this error, but couldn't find anything which solves. Is there any steps I'm missing? I've checked in DB properties. It uses SID not the Service Name.
Thanks in Advance
Sreeram

Oh, zip files. Right. I usually use the installer.
Try creating it yourself then and see if that does it. I don't normally use these zip files so I'm not sure if it goes somewhere else with them.

Locale for Oracle Client

Hi,
How does one set the locale for an Oracle Client 10 x universally for all sessions, post installation on a window server?
On our test machine, I need to change the locale from American to swedish. I am especially interested in changing the date format and numerical separators so that it reflects in the sql plus prompt without using the alter session set nls_lang .. commands.
Thanks,
Peeyush

Thanks,
Do I need to have a language installed with the oracle client to set it?
I am trying to set NLS_LANG = SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8MSWIN1252.
On sql prompt
SQL> @.[%NLS_LANG%].
SP2-0310: unable to open file ".[SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8MSWIN1252]."

Patch for Oracle Client Software

Hi,
i have download oracle 10.2.0.5 patch set on the Oracle server..
i have a Oracle client machine with oracle 10.2.0.4 client.
Can i install the same patch in the Oracle client machine?

Hi,
Ok let me explain in detail
First there will not be any separate client patchset or client software and you need apply the server patchset to client
what will happen?
Only client related components will be upgraded.
server will consists of lot of other components compare to client
but when you upgrade client, only client related components will upgraded it will not touch the other components
Note: make sure that you have a valid oracle client backup ie 10.2.0.4.

Cant find 10.2.0.3 patchset for oracle client

Hi folks,
i have an installation manual for some program called business flex, it says that after installing 10.2.0.1 client for windows (2003 server); i have to upgrade to 10.2.0.3
but i cant find the patchset.. client 10.2.0.3 seems to be available for only vista and server 2008.
some guys [here |http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-db-l/10g-client-10203-patchset-1588346]
"Same as the dB server. And it's huge 852M

but this one is not available for windows 2003! i cant find a way to upgrade client 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 please help.

The Client on Windows and the Server on Windows use the same patchset.
The OUI only patches what you actually have installed.
