Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X

Hi all, this is my first post here (so I don't know if it's the proper place, but to try it is free. Sorry for any inconvenience).
Anybody, can confirm/explain why, one year after launch, there isn't one available download of Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X?
Without it's impossible, for example, to compile PHP with OCI support under Intel MacOS X (native mode) and it's really a pain.
With PPC version existing since ages, wouldn't be absolutely easy to recompile that cool stuff for Intel MacOS X?
TIA and ciao, Eloy Lafuente :-)

Hi again...
just to know a bit more... two months later... how is customer demand going...?
Have you searched for "macos x instant client intel" ?
Aren't PHP/Perl/Ruby applications enough?
I sincerely think it's a big mistake to don't offer native connectivity for MacOS X Intel users... of course, your mistake.
Some developers, like me, will stop developing/improving Oracle support in their applications just because they use MacOS X to develop. So, those applications won't run ok under Oracle, no matter where you deploy them.
With thousands of applications running natively under MacOS X Intel... isn't there (@ Oracle) able to recompile that tiny piece of software to run under Intels... sorry but I cannot believe it.
I'll email SJ right now! Ciao :-)

  • Oracle RDBMS for Intel MacOS X

    In reading the other posts about Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X, I see a lot of others are stating that no one is asking for Oracle RDBMS to be supported natively on Mac OS X (Intel).
    For the record, there are many others that are asking for this from Oracle (and have been since Intel of Mac OS X was announced). I too need the Oracle Instant Client, but I really need Oracle RDBMS released as well (10g for Tiger (Intel) or better).
    We have been waiting for Oracle's promise a few years ago to treat the Mac as First Class Enterprise platform. We invested in this and have been shipping our "single box" solution. However our customers are held back by only able to run Oracle 10g on Panther Server since our product must be run in a certified environment.
    Oracle on Mac OS X for us has been very stable and has served our development and customers well. However, it is just not able to run "certified" on the newer hardware architecture (Intel) and a machine replacement cycle is overdue because of this.
    I hope that Oracle visits this issue soon and has an announcement coincident with the launch of Leopard (UNIX 03).
    I realize some of you have different needs and run the RDBMS on another platform, but not us. So please count a vote for me for both an Oracle Instant Client AND Oracle RDBMS for Mac OS X (Intel).

    In reading the other posts about Oracle Instant
    Client for Intel MacOS X, I see a lot of others are
    stating that no one is asking for Oracle RDBMS to be
    supported natively on Mac OS X (Intel).Yeah, well, those are the same people who seem to think that all it takes to release a new version of the client is switching a compiler flag, waiting 15 minutes for a build, and dumping the result onto the OTN download site. Hyperbole trumps reality. In other words, it's an Internet forum. ;-)
    I'm sure you've already done this, but you're much, much better off getting on the phone with your Oracle rep and detailing to him/her just how much licensing revenue they realistically stand to lose if they don't give some attention to the Intel Mac platform. I could believe that the recent tone of discourse on this forum about "Oracle on OS X/Intel" might actually erode the position that it's a useful product direction for Oracle, so anything that license-paying folk can do to convince them otherwise would be great. :-)
    Otherwise, it's just the same 5 people posting semi-anonymously making vague threats about moving to some other platform and/or venting their spleens about horrible they think Oracle is (which, I know is often a huge motivator for anyone to take on a project...)

  • Failed to install php-oci8 with instant Client for linux 64

    Hello,
    I have a 64-bits Linux box with RHEL4, and PHP version has been upgraded from 4.3.9 to 5.1.6. I try to make the connection to remote oracle server.
    I download instantclient-basic-linuxppc-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip , and follow the instruction to
    install it.
    But when i try to install php-oci8*.rpm, no matter which i use:
    php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386.rpm or php-oci8-4.3.9-2.2.el4.i386.rpm
    The installation always failed due to dependencies errors with oracle instant client.
    I also tried with some other packages like: php-oci8-4.3.9-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
    All my tries gave me dependency errors.
    sometime like:
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libclntsh.so.10.1 is needed by php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386
    oracle-instantclient = 10.2.0.3 is needed by
    php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386And I cannt find the right RPM for oracle instant client for linux 64 bits box, and php-oci8 5.1.6 64 bits.
    I have been trying on this problem for more than one week, and so frustrated. I will appreciate if I can be guide on this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Licence Cost for Oracle Instant Clent for PHP

    Hi all
    we have downloaded Oracle instant client for connecting our PHP application with oracle.
    We have Oracle licence already.
    Do we need to have separate licence for Instant client or it is free?

    Yes, thanks for pointing that out. When you download a thousand times such details might just become lost behind a click, scroll, scroll and click procedure.
    However, what I was trying to get at was that most product downloads if not all requires a "real" license, unless you want to only play a bit with it on your laptop. But in this case the license is somewhat more generous. Of course, you or your customers would still need to license the database servers.

  • Instant client for Oracle 8.1.6

    Hi, I need some previous version of instant client for ODBC. Current version needs at least Oracle 8.1.7. Is it possible to download ODBC instant client with support for 8.1.6?
    Thanks
    Paja

    In my testing, the 10g full client will only connect to 8.1.7.4 and later databases. I beleive the 10g Instant Client would have the same restrictions.
    If you have an 8.1.6 back end, you would need to install a 9i full client to connect or to purchase a third-party wire-protocol ODBC driver that supports 8.1.6. The Instant Client is a new 10g feature.

  • 64-bit Instant Client for Oracle 9i

    Based on what I've read here, it looks like there are no Instant Clients for prior to 10.1.
    - Is this correct?
    - Does a 10.1 Instant Client work for accessing 9i databases?
    Thanks

    Yes, and yes. Except that the database should be 9.2, as connections to 9.0 are desupported.

  • Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

    Hi,
    on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
    std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
    odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
    as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
    State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
    the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
    open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
    Data source name: Anything
    TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
    User ID: myUser
    then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
    and it works!
    I cannot figure out what's my problem.
    Thanks,
    Roy.

    I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
    SQL> desc test;
    Name Null? Type
    ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
    My character set being used is:
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
    NLS_CHARACTERSET
    WE8ISO8859P15
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
    AL16UTF16
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
    BYTE
    So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
    Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
    To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
    mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> desc TEST;
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
    SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
    Name Null? Type
    attività VARCHAR2(80)
    So in general it should work.

    thanks
    LuciaHello,
    I had the same problem. It was related to the shell script interpreter being used: it is really a bash script asking to be interpreted as sh. For the impatient, the solution was to change the first line of the script orarun.sh to read as:
    #!/bin/bash
    Explanation:
    1. The script runfixup.sh calls orarun.sh. The latter is the one that fails starting at line 845.
    2. The script is really a bash script as can be seen from the if syntax used. For example at line 191 we see the double equall sign ==:
    if [ "`echo $SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS | tr A-Z a-z`" == "true" ]
    3. The bash man page says:
    string1 == string2
    string1 = string2
    True if the strings are equal. = should be used with the test command for POSIX conformance.
    string1 != string2
    True if the strings are not equal.
    (End of man page excerpt)
    Notice in particular that for a bash script to be POSIX it should avoid the == and just use =
    4. orarun.sh has on its first line #!/bin/sh. On my Ubuntu system, sh is a softlink to dash and the dash man page says:
    s1 = s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are identical.
    s1 != s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
    5. So this script script uses bash syntax but is interpreted by dash. It is possible that this worked fine for the Oracle developer if on their system sh was softlinked to bash (which is often the case). Apparently, one should then be very careful to not use idioms that are not POSIX compliant.
    6. Another solution is to change the /bin/sh softlink from dash to bash. Personally, I was less comfortable doing this (the possible repercussions were wider than the proposed solution above).
    After making the change, the script ran perfectly. I think the best solution is for Oracle to update the script to be POSIX compliant or to identify itself as bash.
    Hope that helped,
    Mark Gaber

    Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
    Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
    Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
    The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
    Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
    Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.

  • Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client Error

    We are testing a Oracle Solaris Express 11 Server with the standard Apache and PHP installation. But we need the Oracle Instant client and the oci8 module enabled for our company applications.
    We did this by using ./pecl install oci8 in /usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
    a 32bits solaris (x86) version of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link made.
    envvars:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
    he oci8 module installed and php loads it.
    phpinfo(); output:

    OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*
    but when we use echo getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php the output is "/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2"
    now the strange this is as randomly as it appears it disappears we can load the web-page without problems and after a couple of clicks the error is back. if we wait a coupe of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normaly.
    The error appears to be random and we get it over and over agian, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are viewed. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing on the website.
    Is there a fix for this? is this an known bug? It seems strange the instant client works some times and fails a second later without a change in the system.
    Hope someone can help us.

    Solved it by compiling apache 2.2.20 into 64bits using:
    CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure enable-so enable-cgi enable-info enable-rewrite enable-deflate enable-ssl
    and compiling php 5.3.8 into 64bits:

    and using the 10.2.0.4 instant client.
    there might be a bug in the 11.x ones, they dont seem to work on Oracle Solaris 11.

  • CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

    Two questions.
    I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
    When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
    Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
    Second question:  I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
    In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
    Any info helps. Thanks.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Below are the replies to your questions:
    Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
    - Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
    - Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
    - You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:

  • Error Compiling php 5.1.6 with Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.5 on Fedora 5

    Hello
    I have Oracle 10.1.0 enterprise database installed on a Windows 2003 server.
    I have another machine that has Fedora Core 5 installed on it. I downloaded:
    Apache 2.2.3
    Php 5.1.6
    OracleInstantClient 10.1.0.5 (base and skdk packages) from technet.oracle.com
    I created a directory called /usr/lib/instantclient10_1 in which I unzipped
    the files for the Oracle Instant Client and the SDK into /usr/lib/instantclient10_1.
    So inside /usr/lib/instantclient10_1 I have:
    all the unzipped filed from the base for the instant client as well as
    a directory called sdk with files inside this subdirectory.
    I compiled and installed Apache.
    I then tried to configure php using the instantclient with the configure option
    --with-oci8=instantclient/usr/lib/instantclient10_1
    The first time I did this I got the error: "link from
    /usr/lib/instantclient10_1/libclntsh.so to libclntsh.so.10
    not found"
    Well I had the libclntsh.so.10 but no such link. So I did the following:
    ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so
    I assume this was OK to do but I found it strange that I had to do this.
    Question #1 - why should I have to do this?
    I then tried to configure php again but got an error that I paste in from
    the debug.log. From this debug log you can see the configure options I gave for
    php as well as the error. It says "cannot find -lirc". Now I did put into
    /etc/ld.so.conf the line /usr/lib/gaim since that is where libirc.so is and ran
    ldconfig but it still complained. When I copied libirc.so into /usr/lib it then said there were
    lots of errors in that libirc.so. The only item in the configure options depending on lirc is
    the with-oci8.  Why does with-oci8 depend on lirc?
    I also tried the above on Red Hat AS 4.0 and got the same errors.
    Question #2 -- what do I do?
    Thank You

    Here is the debug.log in the case when libirc.so is just in /usr/lib/gaim:

    '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib' '--enable-debug'

    To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure. Everything I could find on it had to do with IRC or some kind of remote control thing (for controlling audio/media players). Maybe if Ivan stops by he'll know what it means... he knows quite a lot about the inner workings of many of these libraries.
    http://us3.php.net/install.unix was the most useful info I could find.
    There's also this thread:

  • Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.3

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle Instant Client on a FreeBSD 6.0 machine. The PORTS system of FreeBSD requires the version 10.1.0.3, but the version available for download is 10.1.0.4. Does anyone konw where to get 10.1.0.3 version?
    Thanx,
    Habosh

    One question :
    I'm trying to run sqlplus, but have a pb of version :
    (sh)$ sqlplus
    sqlplus: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /compat/linux/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1.20050713/client/lib/libsqlplus.so)
    sqlplus: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /compat/linux/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1.20050713/client/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1)
    sqlplus: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by /compat/linux/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1.20050713/client/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1)
    sqlplus: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /compat/linux/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1.20050713/client/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1)

    I had the same problem when I tried to compile directly from the client.
    I can't find GLIBC_2.3.3 on FreeBSD 5.3.
    Do you know if it works with another version of FreeBSD ? or should I install an emulator (I tried red hat 8.8, but doesn't work)? I tried to compile glib2.3.3, but it hasn't been ported on FreeBSD.
    Anyway, I will try with redhat9.
    Thanks,
    Basha
