License for Oracle Unix client

Let say I have an application running on Unix 64bit (SunOS,HPUX or AIX) accessing a DB with proC, php or jdbc OCI.
From XE doc I understood that it is possible to have the DB running Oracle XE on Linux 32bit and the application connecting to the DB with Oracle SE or EE Client from Unix 64bit.
What license is required for Oracle Unix client?
Is the configuration above free (or am I naive)?

As least Oracle instance client is Free according to Oracle.

  • Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production

    Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production?

    Standard disclaimer: We don't represent Oracle. Your situation may be different because of specific wording in your particular Oracle contract, because of differences in licensing regimes over the years, because of laws in your particular country, etc. If you have a serious licensing question, you really need to address it to Oracle Sales. Explaining that some guy on the internet told you it was OK is going to be cold comfort if you're ever audited by Oracle and they disagree with my interpretation...
    In general, no, you don't need a separate client license. The database is generally licensed to support a number of named users and/or all the users that a certain hardware configuration can support. Assuming the person using the Oracle client is connecting to a properly licensed database (and that they are one of the named users if that is the licensing regime), you shouldn't need a separate license.
    There may be slightly different rules if we're talking about developers connecting to the database because of the "Oracle Programmer" set of licenses that appears on pricing sheets that I've never fully understood.

  • License terms for Oracle SQL client

    Hi,
    Is Oracle SQL client free of charge ?
    if not, what is the license policy for this small application ?
    thanks a lot,
    Al.

    What you mean 3 licenses for 8.1.7 ?
    I don't think you can only buy 3 named user license for Oracle DB server.
    Oracle client <> SQL*plus
    SQLpus is only one of the utilities that included in Oracle client package.
    If you have concurrent user license, you can install as many Oracle client you want but any given time only 3 concurrent session can connect to database.
    When you download the Oracle client from Oracle website, there's full Term and Agreement you need to accept before proceed.

  • The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory'

    Hi
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
    Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
    Microsoft .NET Framework
    Version 3.5 SP1
    Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 11.1.0.7.20
    I have DB 11.2.0.1 installed on my machine ( OraDb11g_home1 ) and ODT in another home OraClient11g_home1 on my Windows 7 32-bits
    After installing ODT I tried to create a new DataSource, it succeeded (test connection is succesful) but while saving I get
    "The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception." messagebox.
    In registry I have both keys
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.111.7.20
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.112.1.0
    of course I can connect to db from both homes.
    I've been searching for simmilar issues but have not found something that would help me solve this one.

    ODP.NET actually consists of several DLLs, some managed, some not. If you are missing one of the DLLs in the chain or it somehow picks up mismatched DLLs from several different versions then you will get this error. So if you hand copied DLL's rather than using an installer, this might be the cause.
    Another typical cause of this error is that you deployed your application to another machine (web server) and did not properly install ODP.NET over there.
    The best solution is to reinstall ODP.NET using the installer on the machine where you will run your application. If you already have ODP.NET there, make sure it is the right version and perform a clean up to make sure old versions are not lying around.

    Hi,
    As per my experience, Type initializer exception by ODP coulod also be due to mismatch between ODP.Net and dependant layers, especially with the service layer, which communicates with the OCI.
    So, please do following:
    - As suggested earlier, if not installed and then do install the ODP ship home on the target test machine.
    - If already installed, ensure that versions do match, essentially you cannot pick a different ODP dll and try to make it work with a different version of ship home dlls.
    thanks,
    Mrinal

  • Type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool' threw an excep.

    Hi all,
    I have a .NET application which save data in an oracle database (about 2000 database read / write each day).
    Every thing works fine since few years...
    However, yesterday, one of my client got this error :
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool..cctor()
    The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool' threw an exception.
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool.SetMaxThreads(UInt32 MaxWorkerThreads, UInt32 MaxIOCompletionThreads)

    Any ideas ?
    Regards.

    Hi,
    thanks for the answer. Yes the Inner exception returns "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client".
    Could it be the Oracle Client Version? I just noticed that on that machine there is the Oracle Client version 11.1.

    Please note that Oracle Lite is no longer being actively developed, and no further releases are planned. The recommended small footprint database from Oracle is Berkeley DB.

  • What's the latest patch for oracle 10g client?

    what's the latest patch for oracle 10g client? 6810189?

    The same as the patch for the Oracle database of the same version and operating system. Since you didn't specify the operating system or the particular Oracle version (10g could mean 10.1 or 10.2), it's hard to be more specific.

  • Partition license for oracle 9i

    Dear all,
    we are having oracle 9i database (9.2.0.4) on hp-ux platform. The database is being used for DWH purpose, so table partitioning feature is used.
    We have cpu based Oracle enterprise edition license for this database. Please suggest if we need to procure any license for partitioning feature too or the same license will work for Oracle 9i database?
    As nowhere i found anything about partitioning license for oracle 9i database, though for oracle10g it is written in documentation that partitioning feature is optional package and we need to procure additional license for it.
    Thanks in advance...

    for license Information you should contact oracle local office in your country , Also note that 9i is unsupported now .

  • License for Oracle Virtual Desktop Client

    I am trying to find a statement by Oracle as to wither Oracle Virtual Desktop Client is considered freeware or not. At one time I thought I saw a statement to the effect that OVDC was provided with a current support agreement but I can't seem to find that statement now. Does anyone know where there is verbage to this effect?

    I am afraid it is a bit more complicated than that. You can buy licenses per device or per named user. If you license per "named user" then you can install and use OVDC an as many devices as you wish. But if your use "per device" licenses, you'll need a license for each Sun Ray DTU and also all devices with the OVDC installed.
    I found this on iTunes concerning OVDC for iPad:License: Use of Oracle Virtual Desktop Client requires a valid Sun Ray Software or Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure license.Bjoern

  • License for oracle Help

    I have a question about the licensing requirements for Oracle Help.
    I am writing the on-line help to support a commercial application which will be charged for. can I use Oracle Help for developing on-line help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Q: I read the license text on the download page... I didn't see any reference to the rights to re-distribute the icebrowser that comes with the Oracle Help. Does one need to obtain a separate license with Icesoft the maker of IceBrowser ?
    Q: Related to a message posted earlier about Oracle's plan for Oracle Help... I can tell from the messages folks feel the Oracle Help has some advantages over Sun Java Help, and it can be considered as a replacement for Sun Java Help. However, in order to migrate from Sun Java Help to Oracle Help, it's important to understand the roadmap.. a roadmap will make it clear that Oracle is committed and helps users justify a migration.
    Q: Also, since Oracle is committed to Eclipse... what is going to happen to Oracle's commitment to Oracle Help, if people start building applications using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform and use the Eclipse Help system ?
    Thanks in advance for your responses,
    Edwin
