Odbc instant client configurtion on Intel core i7,Windows 7,64 bit system

Hi all,
I tried to install the odbc instant client on the above mentioned configuration following the instructions given in the instant client package after downloading from the link given below(Basic and odbc packages).
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
But i cannot get this to work,i cannot find the microsoft odbc for oracle driver in the data sources in the system dsn tab.Did anyone come across such a scenario and make this work.It would be great if you can help find a way out of this.
Thanks!

You getting everything mixed up. First it's not the "odbc instant client", but the Oracle Instant Client. The Oracle Instant Client is not an ODBC driver but Oracle native drivers (OCI). Secondly the "microsoft odbc for oracle" driver is, as it's names implies, a Microsoft driver, not an Oracle driver so it's never going to be installed by the Oracle Instant Client. Finally you shouldn't need to use ODBC for Oracle. Use OCI to connect to Oracle databases.

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

This section assumes the following:
1. Oracle 9.2.0.0.0 client has already been installed on your system,
and necessary 9.2.0.8.0 patch has been applied.
2. Part III has been completed.
Software fixes:
Refer to release notes (ODBCRelnotesUS.htm) for a complete list of
Software fixes.

All of the above has succeeded ok; however whilst trying to create new DSN the intsant client is not listing as an available driver. What's missing please?

The package you downloade is not ODBC Instant Client package
Instant Client Concept came into existence from 10.1 onwards only
What you downloaded are the patched 9208 ODBC Drivers

ODBC instant client driver rpm for Linux X64

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where can I find odbc instant client driver rpm for Linux X64 edition.
I can only see for Linux x32 not for X64.

I don't understand your step 7 (the first step 7, actually).
What is that unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz, where did it come from, and why are you doing all that?
unixODBC should be installed after step 5.
I guess that that is the cause of your problem.
isql is not linked against readline at all on my RHEL 5 system.
Do you notice any improvement after removing the files from that tar.bz file?

Linux ODBC Instant Client and Web access?

Hi,
I have downloaded instant client 10.2 and the corresponding ODBC RPM, installed them on a CentOS 4.7 (32 bits) Linux machine. I have also installed UnixODBC on this machine. After a lot of experiments and searches on Internet, I have finally obtained a working state. I.e. using DataManager to test the connection, I access to the Oracle Server that is on another computer.
Now, I am in the second step of my tests. I have to access to the database through Internet. The scheme is the following:
1- a web client is connected, to my web server (server is HTTPD),
2- the web server has to access to the Oracle server by using the ODBC Instant Client.
But this does not work yet. When I try this configuration, I see the error "*can't find the lib libsqora.so.10.1. libcintch.so.10.1 cannot open shared object library*". To solve this problem, I have to tried to define (and export) LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the /etc/sysconfg/httpd file. But this does not work.
Does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance.

here, the trace from the log file:
[ODBC][8089][SQLConnect.c][3549]
          Entry:
               Connection = 0x81db4a0
               Server Name = [GTModus][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]
               User Name = [GTModus][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]
               Authentication = [*******][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]

Concerning exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH I did as explained in one of the few posts found on internet. I have also tested by modifying the httpd.conf file by adding SetEnv directives. But whatever the changes I did, it seems that, through internet, the environment is lost.

Oraclle 11g instant client x64 doesn't work in windows 7 x64

First of all I've read the software requirements in the installation guides for 11g instant client x64 and no support for Windows 7 is mentioned.. I'm not sure if this is the case any how here is the details of the problem:
I downloaded instant client (basic) and (sqlplus) and unzipped them on drive E, afterwards I created tnsnames.ora file with the following:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = IGGY) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
and saved it in the instant client directory, afterwards I included the instant client directory in the user variable PATH value, and created system variable TNS_ADMIN and added the location of tnsnames.ora in the value.
Now the problem starts when I open MS-DOS and type: sqlplus system @ORCL, It then prompts for the password and when I try to enter anything the cursor doesn't move unless I press enter and the result is that I get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS: COULD NOT RESOLVE THE CONNECT IDENTIFIER SPECIFIED
Any idea what the reason of this problem is?

Hello again,
I was able to reproduce ORA-12154 and the error raised beacause my DUMMY-HOST was not reachable. Using the correct hostname/IP address solved the issue. Can you check if you are able to ping and to telnet your hostname (IGGY).
Regards,
David

Developer client 11g will be available for Windows 7 64-bit or never ever?

Does Oracle or any user knows developer client 11g will be available on Windows 7 64-bit? If yes, when?
We are in OAS 11g Web Logic however I have to continue using developer 10g on Windows XP. Really awkward.
Thank you for help.

Hi,
Developer Suite 11g does not exist as it was for 10gR2/10gR1 but you can create your own Report Developer 11g environment.
There are some good notes about this.

ODBC instant client Microsoft ODBC error

I have successfully installed instant client.
I have added ODBC connections in Microsodft ODBC Administrator.
Issue is after I setup or delete one - and try to do something with the second one. The ODBC manager errors out. I get back into the ODBC Administrator and it will let me add/delete something. It seems like 1 task then out.

For the record, there seem to be two bugs logged with Oracle related to this issue.
The missing dll problem is bug 4696660.
The recommended solution is to find copies of MSVCR71.DLL and MFC71.DLL and put them into the instantclient directory (which itself will be in the PATH)
The ODBC 1114 failure seems something that has been broken in the 10.2 version of instantclient. Bug 5233492 reports a very similar problem and identifies that the problem does not exist in the 10.1 instantclient. I've tested this myself and verified that to be the case.
It seems at the moment if you want to use InstantClient and ODBC on Windows, you need to use the 10.1 version of Instantclient.

Should ODBC + Instant Client + ADODB work?

Hi, I have an old application in VB.NET that connects by ODBC using a filedsn that uses Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver using ADODB.
I have a problem because numbers with decimals are being returned as strings because of the client regional settings.
I've tried with the Oracle ODBC driver (Oracle in OraClient11g_home in my machine) and it worked.
I want to be able to use this driver without having to install anything on the client machine, only by using the Oracle Instant Client dll.
But after many tests I couldn't make it work.
Is it possible? How can I make it work?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user7304687 on 29/Ago/2012 2:03

For ODBC? Not really. It requires registry changes in order to register an ODBC driver with Windows and there's just no getting around that.
If you were to write something that made all those changes yourself, then you might be able to get around it by having your app's installer do it, but that would be highly error prone.
If you were using .net, you could use the managed provider that's coming out soon.

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.

Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Windows install advice

I find myself after 20 years using mac's needing to run a windows program. I have Macbook pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if parallels or fusion works better on this machiene. Also i see some folks here feel Windows 7 is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
tks in advance for any advice
-R-

A lot of the answer really depends upon you and your usage.
VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop both work well, nad each ahs its strengths and weaknesses. I have used Fusion v3, 4, & 5, as well as Parlallels v 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. I got my first copy of Parallels when I got my first MacBook Pro as a bundle deal along with a Windows XP Pro license. For my usage, I find that Parallels seems to be more "efficient" (it runs a little faster) but Fusion seems to be a bit more stable, and supports a slightly broader collection of hardware peripherals. Luckily for you, both packages offer a free trial before you buy the software, so you can test them both to see which works best for you. You could also consider using VirtualBox (a free tool much like Fusion or Parallels), or even Boot Camp if you need the "raw power" of running the system in native mode with no emulation overhead.
As for What version of Windows you run, it would really depend upon what licenses you have, and what your Windows software requires. some Windows software still requires Windows XP, some requires Windows 7 or later. Since you didn't mention your Windows app, I can't say for it.
In the end, it depends upon you, what you want, what you need, and what you are willing to pay for.

OCIEnvCreate fails with -1 using Instant Client 10.2.0.1 on Windows XP

I have a working application (using the full Oracle install) and I'm trying to see if I can get it to work using the instant client. I installed the client, changed my path and rebooted. According to the instant client how to install - it should just work but then if everything worked like it was documented then lots of support folks wouldn't have jobs. The only parameter I'm setting is the OCI_THREADED flag. The database is on a different server - but that shouldn't matter I'm not getting that far. I am logged into an administrator account on the client box - so I'm not sure what else could be wrong. Also if anyone knows why we always seam to need administrator accounts that would be a great piece of info too.

It should work if you follow the instructions on the instant client page on OTN:

Is my MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 Mid-2010 32 Bit or 64 Bit ?

I need to know which M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio interface driver to install. They offer a 32 bit driver and a 64 bit driver for Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My MacBook Pro is an Intel Core i7 Mid 2010 machine.

If you mean does it boot into the 64-bit kernel automatically, the answer is "yes." Unless you want to switch to booting the 32-bit kernel then you will need the 64-bit driver. However, the fact that the driver works for Snow Leopard is no guarantee it will also work with Lion.

Install EAS client 11.1.1.3 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Hello All,
I am trying to install EAS, Smartview and Excel addin clients on Windows 7 64 bit computer to connect the server which is 64 bit on windows 2003.
Is there a separate process to do that for Windows 7? Also what all zip files to download from the oracle website? I downloaded few and when I extracted, I dont see the Installtool.cmd any where.
Please advice and provide links if someone have for 11.1.1.3 EAS Console, Smartview and Excel Addin.
Thanks,

If it has to be 11.1.1.3 then you can get the standalone installer for the excel addin from Oracle Support - Patch 9147550
For Smart View try Patch 10433469
Cheers
