Oracle client still required?

Do I need to install oracle client in order to install ODP.NET? Thanks.

The JDBC thin driver does not require the installation of an Oracle client.
I have heard that there will be a streamlined Oracle client installation process in Oracle 10g. I expect that the 10g client and database will be available some time early next year, based on the latest press releases.

Oracle Client Version requirements

We've built a program using VS2005 and ODT 10.2.0.2. The database it is accessing is 9i. In order for the program to establish connectivity with the server, we had to load Oracle Client 10.2.0.2, with the installing user having administrative priviledges. No problem. Things work fine.
However, users access the computer with the program installed via terminal services over their network. If a user who does not have administrative priviledges via Active Directory, a error is generated stating “The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client”.
If the user is given administrative priviledges, this error does not occur. As I ponder this, I wonder if terminal services uses the priviledges assigned to the user to determine the Oracle Client to use on the host computer.
Could this be the case, or am I missing something?

does the computer with the program installed has multiple ORACLE_HOME (i.e home for 9i client and home for ODP.NET)? I suspect, only administrators can access ODP.NET home.

Oracle client memory requirements

Hi everyone,
I read the Oracle 8.1.? for Linux documentation as saying Oracle products won't install on an Intel computer with less than 128MB RAM. Does anyone know if this is true for installing just the client? (If so, it seems like quite a stiff requirement for an operating system which boasts such efficient memory usage.)
Thanks in advance,
Ted Gordon

No, it's nonsense. I've installed the Oracle Server on an Intel compatible with only 96mb memory. It's not fast, but it works.
If you will be using Oracle in a production environment you will need a better configuration, but for testing it's good enough.

PORTAL INTEGRATION WITH ORACLE REPORTS STILL REQUIRING LOGIN

I'm trying to integrate Portal and Reports. It works properly in a WinNT environment, bypassing the Oracle reports logon screen, due to the previous Oracle Portal logon. However, when working on Solaris, Oracle reports continues to require logon.

i mean don't advice me to use URLs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Win64_11gR2_client still throws 'requires oracle client 8.1.7 or greater'

Hey All,
I just installed the new win64 11g R2 Client on my windows 2008 server machine, with the ASP.NET client, however i'm still getting the error:
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
Now I went to the ODBC Manager (64 bit, not the 32 bit) and tested my connections, so i know the client is connecting.
Is there something special i need to use to make this work?
Regards,
Dan Regalia

Is Visual Studio, or your web/asp.net app, 32 or 64-bit? If the app is 32-bit, it needs ("looks for") the 32-bit Oracle client libraries. Maybe that is the case here?
You could use Process Monitor for troubleshooting the issue:

In addition, consider using the Oracle provider instead.

JAVA beans and JAVA related services require Oracle client to be installed?

Can you please advice whether an application server that make use of JAVA beans and JAVA related services require Oracle client to be installed? For an example if the solution build based on Java and JBOSS to be used as application server, do we still require oracle client to be installed and configure the tnsnames in order to communicate to database server?

Oracle Client required?

I am running 10gR2 Standard Edition Server on my computer. When I go to install ODT.NET, it want's to install another Oracle Client in a new Oracle Home.
It did the same thing when I loaded the beta of ODT.NET earlier this year. Having two Homes was a pain.
Since I already have all the Oracle Networking I will ever need in my current 10gR2 home, why does ODT require a new Client installation??? I'd rather it just use the home that I already have.
Is there some way to install ODT without creating a new Home?
...don

Mark,
Thanks for the response!
The last time I tried to install ODP, I pointed OUI to my existing Oracle Home, and after the install all my client applications (TOAD, in-house programs, etc) could not find the Oracle DLL's to connect. SqlPlus still worked and my database was still available, but that's all.
So, I've tried installing to a new home and had to deal with two sets of tnsnames.ora's, etc, and I have also tried installing to the existing home but lost my OCI connectability. Apparently I am doing something wrong. Any ideas???

Oracle client required for Essbase Installation

Hi
I installed Essbase server and EAS server with foundation services in one Windows Machine.
My RDBMS (Oracle) Is installed on a different Machine.
Do i need to install Oracle client on my Essbase machine to configure with RDBMS? or Oracle Client installation is not required to configure with RDBMS?
Thank you.

You don't need the Oracle client if you want to configure the foundation database as it uses JDBC drivers which are included in the foundation installation.
The Oracle client is useful if you want to set up Oracle ODBC connections to be used with essbase SQL data loads.
Cheers

Requires Oracle client for windows server 2008 Version 6.1

Hello
I am using Windows 2008 Server Version 6.1 (64 Bit). I want to install Oracle client on this server. Which version is suitable for my requirement and from where i can download it.

The amount of information you provide is surprisingly sparse, assuming you want assistance.
So - if you want help, you might wnat to provide some information:
- the operating system (including edition, and major service pack if WIndows, or distro && major/minor release and kernel if *nix)
- the URL froim which you downloaded
- the country yuo are in (since ORacle could redirect to several sitres based on region)
- the command or executable, including directory path, you run or double-click on
- the 'exact' error message, or if a generic one like "Unknown", perhaps a screen shot to convince us that it is actually such a generic message
It's just a suggestion, but answering in such detail actually tells us you are serious about resolving the issue - you put in effort, and that may convince us to return some effort.

Windows 8 operating system + applications requiring 32-bit oracle client

Hi,
We are trying to install oracle 32 bit client on Windows 8 opertaing system
11.2.0.1
Have done so successfully on Windows 7 but Windows 8 says doesn't meet minimum environemnet requirements.
We have a 32-bit appliactuion which requires oracle client
When we tried the 64-bit oracle client on the Windows 7 onne, application didn't work so henec the 32-bit oracle client which allowed the application ro work O.K.
Problem is we need to have this application working in Windows 8 environment.
Any thoughts if can use oracle 32 bit client on Windows and if so where I can download from?
Thanks

Regardless of whether test or production machine, why would you choose an unsupported combination ? Which exact version of Win 8 ?
Certification tab is at My Oracle Support - https://support.oracle.com - access to which requires a paid support contract with Oracle.

Oracle Client requirement for BO XI 3.1 Desktop Intelligence

Will the BO XI3.1 Infoview or Desktop Intelligence work with Oracle 8i Client on the user's desktop? Or do they need to Oracle client versions 9i and greater.

Hi
for Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 the oldest officially supported version of Oracle is Oracle 9.2 over the native client (Oracle Net Client 9.2). What you can try though is to use the Oracle ODBC driver since Generic ODBC sources are also supported.

Stratos

Oracle Client 8.1.7 required!

Hi all,
I need the ODBC drivers for oracle 8.1.7. Can i get a link from where i can get oracle client 8.1.7, though this version is de-supported by oracle.
thanks!

There's no direct download available from Oracle. You might have to open SR with Oracle support.

Permission required to access oracle client service names

Hello,
I actually have a problem with accessing oracle client service names in Crystal.
The problem is:
I installed crystal reports 2008 and installed oracle client on a machine (I used an account that is a local administrator of the machine during installation) but the problem is that the users who are going to access crystal are standard users and they couldnu2019t access the services in oracle client and when they try to refresh the report they get the following error
"Failed to load database information. Details: the DB connector 'crdb_oracle.dll' couldn't be loaded. the correct version of the database client for this database type might not be installed"
I gave the users permission on the two folders (C:\program files \Common files \) and RegEdit : (C:\Windows \ System 32\) but the problem wasnu2019t solved so I made them local administrators and the problem was solved but I donu2019t want to make the users local administrators on the machine , some people told me that I have to install oracle client with the user who will be using crystal but the problem is that two users will be working on the machine not just one and they have two different accounts and when I tried to give the users full control permission on oracle folder , the problem wasnu2019t solved, So I wanted to know if any one faced a similar problem and how to solve it without making the users local administrators.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It appears you have everything installed and configured for Cr to work so it looks like it's a DB issue.
What do you see in the logs if you enable logging on the Server? Are your requests even getting to the Server from CR under the user account?
Test it using the admin and then the user account.
You could try checking on the option to use Trusted Authentication in the database log on windows of CR. This should pass the users PC log on credentials to the Server.
Thank you

Multiple Oracle Clients on Same Machine for different apps

I was not able to find info that answered this so sorry if I missed something that explains this.
At our site we have many applications some I know lots about some I'm not even aware of because we have mulitple sites. The application I develop uses an Oracle 8.1.7 database. In the next year we are going to be upgrading to a 9i database. The app I program for is written in VB and uses 0040 with the 7.3.4 version. We want to upgrade our client to the latest version to use all the features of the 9i database when that times comes. Can we have our 9i client on the same machine that may have other apps that require the 8i client or even the 7.3.4 client without breaking them? The other apps may or may not use 0040. Some of these apps are Oracle Forms applications and some can be anything under the sun.
I still need to do testing to see what breaks but thought someone may already have the answers some of my ?'s Any tips or info you can provide would be great.
Thanks

Two possible answers
1) Oracle added multi-home support to the Oracle client in 8i (may have been 8.0, I'm really not sure). This allows you to set up multiple 8i and above clients on a single machine in different Oracle Homes and should solve the majority of your problems. Having a 7.3.4 client installed wouldn't be supported, but 8i clients should have no difficulty connecting to a 7.3.4 database.
When Oracle added multi-home support, not all the Oracle client products were made multi-home compatible. The ODBC driver, for example, wasn't multi-home compatible until significantly later patchsets. I belive that OO4O has been multi-home compatible since the client has been, though.
2) From a technical standpoint, you should be able to have a 7.3.4 client alongside 8i and above clients. In my experience, this works, but isn't something that Oracle supports.

Could not browse pages from IIS after re-installation of Oracle client

Hi all,
Unfortunately, I hit a issue today in the morning. I could not browse pages from IIS after I re-installed my oracle client on my machine. Below is the error massage from browser.

When I comment a line for OracleWebEventProvider in health monitoring providers in machine.config, it works fine for me. But, Im wondering what went wrong during re-installation and how do I rectify this issue with out a temporary workaround.
Please let me know your suggestions in this regards and thanks for the help in advance.

After I ran the "uninstaller" on the Oracle CD .. there were services still in existance, however, once I deleted the c:/Oracle folder, they were gone. I also re-booted the pc and double-checked, before I tried re-installing.
Thanks !

Hi,
look into services, is there any services is still exist or running with the same name.
or give any other SID which you have given previously.
