Oracle DB 32-bit on a 64-bit architeceture

All,
I apologize up front if this question was already posted.
We have a Dell Poweredge 2950 with 64bit architecture. Would it work if I install Oracle DB 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3) Enterprise/Standard Edition x86, 32bit Edition?
thanks in advance,
chuck

And which OS is on this machine? Windows? Linux? 32bit OS or 64 bit OS? (64 bit hardware architecture does not necessarily mean OS is also 64 bit). In general , when the OS is 32bit, Oracle 32bit will run.

ODBC access to an Oracle DB running on Windows Server 64 bit?

I'm being told by a company that there is no way to connect via ODBC from my Mac to an Oracle database hosted on a Windows 64 bit server. Does anyone know whether that is true, and if not, what tool or driver one could use to make the connection?
Thanks,
~Andrew

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
(Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
ODBC call failed
[Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

Thank you for your reply.
I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
I found this small comment:
“There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
I tried it and it solved the problem!
With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
Solved.

Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit - blue screen error on both nodes

Hi Everyone,
I installed Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit, The installation was successfull and crs_state -t shows all services in two nodes are online.
When executed a select query with 100 sessions( For performance evaluation using Transaction generator ) ,the machine got crashed and blue screen is appeared on two nodes. I restrated the machines and and starts the same evaluation ,bt the same bug is repeating.
Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue? Is our hardware is not sufficient ? Shall we need to perform any
specific settings in Oracle RAC setup for performance evaluations?
Is our settings for load balancing is not enough? ( We added "Load Balancing= On" on tnsnames.ora on client for load
balancing)
The following machine configuration is used for Oracle RAC setup
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
Ram :4GB.
OS : windows 2008 Server 64 Bit
Oracle RAC 11g , Clusterware 11g R2 , ASM with 5 raw disk ( 1- votting disk ,1- ocr files and 3 disk files)

Oracle.DataAccess.dll on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi,
I am migrating a .Net 3.5 windows class library from WinXP 32 bit to Win7 64 bit. I use Oracle 11g 64 bit client to connect to database.
my code works in Debug build but not in Release build. here is the error message:
"An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format:"
I did not complete uninstall by Oracle Deinstall, and re-install it.
Debug build have a waring:
"Assembly generation -- Referenced assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess.dll' targets a different processor."
Release build still the same incorrect format error.
here is more information:
under C:\Windows\assembly
Oracle.DataAccess 2.112.1.0 89b483f429c47342 AMD64
Oracle.Web 2.112.1.0 89b483f429c47342 AMD64
How should I fix it? should I download and install "64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC)"? What's difference between ODP.net in Oracle client and in ODAC?
Thank you,
Wes
Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit, Visual Studio 2010, Oracle 11g 64 bit client

What do you have /32BIT flag set to in the assembly? Ie, was it compiled with AnyCPU, x86, etc? You can use corflags.exe with the .net sdk to find out.
Prior to VS2010, the default was AnyCPU which meant it ran as 64 bit on 64 bit OS, and 32 bit on 32 bit OS.
As of VS2010, the IDE defaults to x86, which means it runs as 32 bit no matter what.
32 bit apps need 32 bit odp/client. 64 bit apps need 64 bit odp/client.
The error you're getting usually means you have the wrong bits (32/64) of the Oracle client installed.
Assuming you have the wrong client bits installed, you could either
a) make the app run as the other bits by setting/clearing the 32BIT flag (also by using corflags.exe)
b) install the other bits of Oracle client software. a 32 bit home and a 64 bit home play rather nicely together for the most part, but you need to install them into separate homes.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Depends on how big is your database.
For small database, doing a export and import is quick and dirty.
For larger database, I would suggest migrate the database. But this means a lot of work and test. This is what I would do if I am doing amigration:
1. Do a cold backup of your 815 database
2. On your new test box, try to install 815 and start your old database
3. Upgrade your database to 8174
4. Install 10gr2 on your new test box
5. Migrate your 8174 database to 10gr2.
6 Test a lot
7. Repeat steps 1-6 2-3 times
8. Document tthe process and your test results completely.
9. Repeat what you document on your production box.

Can we install oracle client 32 bit on Linux 64 bit

Can we install the 32 bit applications like the oracle client on to a database server 64 bit and linux os 64 bit ?

This question is two parts which I paraphrase as per my understanding; please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) Can you install 32-bit applications (like the oracle client) on to a 64-bit Linux OS?
Quick and correct answer is: Yes. Most distributions will include 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit libraries for just this purpose.
2) Can a 32-bit Oracle Client "connect" to a 64-bit Oracle Database server?
Yes.
So ultimately, you could install 64-bit Oracle Database on a 64-bit Linux OS, and then continue by installing the 32-bit Oracle Client on the same host (although I see no real reason for this), and then finally use the 32-bit Oracle Client to connect to the 64-bit instance running on the same host.
Hope this is helpful!

Remove Oracle client path from windows 2008 64 bit

Hi All,
I had to unstall the epm Hyperion product after i found that installation need to done on a different language, which has oracle client for both 32 and 64 bit. But when i reinstall it is complaining about the oracle home path.
Below is the error i get from the log.
[FATAL] [INS-32053] The original name of the Oracle Home directory specified already exists.
CAUSE: The name of the Oracle home directory Home indicated on the command line corresponded to a name of origin existing Oracle Home directory in the central inventory.
ACTION: Choose another name for Oracle Home directory. Abandon this installation session and try again.
I have made sure that the filesystem is completely is removed after the unstallation except for these client files which i have removed manually.
Looks like the unnstalation doesn't happen correctly for the clients and old path is somewhere still exists. I have removed the client path from environment variable path list and tried again but no luck.
Can anyone help me to identify the places where i need to look to remove the earlier Oracle Home.
Thanks

The registry, perhaps, or the inventory (which is in c:\program files\oracle or c:\program files (x86)\oracle - cannot recall right now).
However, if you search Oracle Support for "windows clean machine," you can find an article that shows you how to remove every trace of Oracle software from your Windows computer.

OCI calls failing for Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7 (64 bit)

Hi,
I have a 32bit app which we build and compile in a 32 bit OS, we then deploy this in a 64 bit Windows 2008 R1 machine which has a 11g 64 bit DB;
when the code make the OCI calls the app terminates.On debugging we found out that its failing to make OCI calls on the connect() method of a .cpp file.
This connect code is a custom wrapper class created for OCI which only accepts a complete SQL statement mainly used for looking after rollback segments, etc.
The code runs perfectly fine when we internally call the ORACMD of sqlplus and directly execute the sql from a script.
It only fails when our code tries to connect to the DB and make OCI calls.
I have also installed a 32 bit Oracle 11g Client 11.1.0.7 since I am using a 32 bit app.
Is there any compatibility issues between these 2 versions or the dll's?
Why is it failing while making OCI calls and is there any resolution?
My machine and setup details:
OS: Windows 2008 R1
DB : Oracle 11g R1 11.1.0.7 (64 bit)
Client: Oracle 11g R1 11.1.0.7 (32 bit)
Our App: 32 bit
ORACLE_HOME = // this is pointing to the 64 bit DB
I tried pointing the oracle_home to the client still no go.
Any suggestions on this will be appreciated.

The frustrating 'bug' of the oracle java page if you want 64 bit support.

gosh, i wish there were a way to simply contact the oracle webmaster/webdev team. there isn't, as far as i can find. here's what i just emailed to [email protected] figured i'd share it here, on the outside chance someone at oracle might know how to escalate this:
hi, this has frustrated me a number of times in the last year or two.
go to the main java download page:

i want the 64 bit java plugin. hey, there's a link "information about the 64-bit java plug-in", yay! click it, it goes to

<read a bit through it> ah, there towards the bottom of the page, "java for 64-bit browsers, with the following text and link:
"for downloading 64-bit java click 64-bit manual download". cool! click the link -
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
it takes me right back to the main download page! it's an infinite loop!
i eventually just google, and type in 'jre-7u5-win' and it autocompletes to 'jre-7u5-widows-x64.exe download, and the first result returned is to the actual page needed:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1637588.html
is there any chance y'all could fix this? i'm sure i'm not the only person frustrated by the circular results the main download page provides.
thanks,

Interesting... I have now tested on various Windows versions with various browsers, including FF, IE, and Safari. I even tested on my iPhone. It appears that the page attempts to identify your platform and browser and displays differences in the page based on that result. So, for example, on my iPhone (in Safari) and Linux (with FF) where I know I can't use java or at least one for Windows, the page resembles what you described. However, on all my Windows machines (regardless of browser) the page displays properly.
So the questions to you is, are you doing this on a Windows machine or something else? If not Windows, this is why you are having the issue. If you want to download a Windows release while running a Linux, Mac, or other platform, you should use the method I described in my previous post of using java.sun.com then choosing Java SE under Top Downloads.
If you are on a Windows platform, but are seeing this issue, be sure your browser version is current and ensure that you do not have a security setting or security software which may be preventing this page from properly detecting your platforms.
