Patch for Oracle Client Software

Hi,
i have download oracle 10.2.0.5 patch set on the Oracle server..
i have a Oracle client machine with oracle 10.2.0.4 client.
Can i install the same patch in the Oracle client machine?

Hi,
Ok let me explain in detail
First there will not be any separate client patchset or client software and you need apply the server patchset to client
what will happen?
Only client related components will be upgraded.
server will consists of lot of other components compare to client
but when you upgrade client, only client related components will upgraded it will not touch the other components
Note: make sure that you have a valid oracle client backup ie 10.2.0.4.
Kind Regards,

  • Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10

    Hi
    I am looking for looking to upgrade the Oracle client software (not instant client) to find a version that support Windows 7. We currently use 10.2.0 On XP.
    I can only find version 11g downloads but our database server is 10
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
    I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported.
    Where can I get a Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10.
    thanks

    I can only find version 11g downloads but our database server is 10Oracle 11 client will work just fine with a 10g database. However, 10g is currently only on "sustaining" support. You are WAAY overdue to upgrade the db.

    I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported. You need to look at the level of "supported" for 10g. A software company can't support old versions forever, and by limiting the download of those old versions, they limit the number of new support calls for them.

    again, since you are concerned with the client software, you should just get the 11g client. It will work fine with your 10g database.
    thanks

  • 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.

  • How do we determine the version of the Oracle CLIENT software??

    I am sure someone in a large organization has had to deal with this...
    We have hundreds of machines in our environment and over the years have loaded the Oracle client software on many... So now I am looking at implementing the July set of Oracle Security patches and there are patches for the Client machines in this release...
    Looking at our list, we have machines with oracle 8, 9 and 10 (and almost every subversion known to Oracle) Clients out there... and of course each of these versions and sub-version use a different patch for windows...
    so the question is, is there a quick way of identify exactly what version of the software is loaded... preferably programmatically... Running SQL*Plus on each machine manually is probably not an option.
    We already have software that can scan each machine identify if a specific program is loaded and it's size and maybe pull the contents... (I know there is a $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml file in 10g that might tell us what we need to know, but I don't know if it goes back to 8/8i or not...)
    This would also help me plan a migration plan for some of these older clients also...
    Thanks.
    Michael

    This is a little late, but may be it will help someone else in the future.
    There may be an easier way, but this is what works for me.
    Log into ADI. Go to the Request Center. Click the ‘tool’ icon.
    It looks like a hammer and screwdriver.
    On the next screen, look in the bottom left corner.
    It will show the version of ADI.
    HTH,

  • Patching on oracle client

    I have a question about oracle patching e.g. 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4
    We do patching of 10.2.0.4 for 10.2.0.1 on oracle server.
    Just wanted to know do we also perform patching on oracle client also?
    If yes then what is the advantage/purpose to do that?
    Thanks,

    As per 1 reply we do patching for enhancements but i gues those will be helpful/useful at server side at the database level....
    how it wil useful for client side?This will help in preventing the issues which are result of client-side software code. F. ex. I can recall daylight savings time fix in 9.2.0.x (don't remember the exact patch number now, but I think it was 8) which included patching both client and server software.OP question is on We do patching of 10.2.0.4 for 10.2.0.1 on oracle server
    My answer included an "example". It has nothing to do with the versions that OP has mentioned.

  • Jena Driver Patch for Oracle 11.1.0.6 is missing

    I can no longer find the Jena Driver server-side patch for Oracle 11.1.0.6. I downloaded this a month ago from OTN but the link seems to have been removed. The installation guide is still available on the Jena Adaptor documentation page but I cannot locate the actual patch: jenadrv_patch111rdf.zip. Any idea what's going on?

    We are working on putting Oracle Jena Adaptor software on Metalink. After that, those links will be re-enabled on OTN.

  • Is Oracle Client software must in Sql Server 2005 Box to connect ORACLE

    We need to connect ORACLE from SqlServer 2005
    1. We would like to know is Oracle Client Software MUST needed to be installed in SqlServer 2005 to connect ORACLE.
    2. Do we have any other means?
    3. Will Oracle OLE DB Provider for Oracle help us in establishing Linked Server to ORACLE

    Probably late in the day for this but
    The workbench cannot handle SS2K5 directly at the moment. However as long as no new SS2K5 functionality has been used with a few tweaks this can be achieved.
    1. Firstly use the SS2K offline capture scripts to build the directories for the database(s) you want to capture.
    2 Secondly edit
    (a) SS2K_SYSLOGINS.dat and take out long SS2K5 user records
    (b) SS2K_SYSINDEXES.dat change FIRST ( forth column) to a value (say hex 1).
    (c) SS2K_SYSUSERS.dat change ROLES (sixth column) to a value (say hex 1).
    This should now load into the workbench. If it does not check the error.log file in <OMWB HOME>\log.

  • Any compatibility issues for Oracle Client 10.2.0.4.0 and Snow Leopard?

    Now that Snow Leopard is out and in fact in my hands, are there any known compatibility issues relative to the Oracle client software that is available from:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
    Thanks.
    BTW, it might be worthwhile to know about the following web site:
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    and for someone from Oracle to post an appropriate listing there as that site is becoming known as a central resource for such queries.
    Marc

    Guys,
    I appreciate all of your replies, but:
    1. Just to be clear, I am talking about running the CLIENT (SQL*Plus) on Snow Leopard, which will connect to Oracle 11g, which is running on RHEL 5. I don't care in the least as to whether or not Oracle 11g will run on Snow Leopard. Today, I run the CLIENT on Leopard from the CLI and can connect to 11g on RHEL 5 just fine. I use the Actual Technologies ODBC driver (http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_oracle.php) for queries in other applications and I have a similar query regarding Snow Leopard compatibility into them.
    2. @damorgan: Are you telling me that the client software that I can download from Oracle here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
    was written by Oracle and certified by Apple to run on Leopard (10.5)? I am curious, because today, it was Microsoft and not Apple that put forth the statement that Office 2008 is fine on Snow Leopard:
    http://www.officeformac.com/blog/Ready-for-Snow-Leopard
    Are you suggesting, as a parallel, that Apple did the certification of Office 2008 for Snow Leopard, not Microsoft? Or that Apple and not Cisco, will certify that Cisco's VPN client will work on Snow Leopard?
    Thanks,
    Marc

  • How to get and install 10.2.0.3 patch for Oracle XE (express)

    Total newby here, pardon the stupid question....
    I've installed Oracle XE but I've been told I need the patch that updates the database to 10.2.0.3. I can only find a patch for Vista, I'm on XP. When I go to the metalink(?) page it says I need to have a support ID.
    How do I get a support ID (free) for XE, or is there something I'm missing.
    Thx,
    Mark

    1) Just for sanity, I'm assuming that you posted a Metalink Note ID, not a bug. Metalink Note 334968.1 refers to bug 3807408.
    2) The patches referenced in that bug would appear to relate to the Oracle client. Assuming proper licenses, I would expect that you could patch the Oracle clients accessing the XE database and resolve the issue.
    3) The Metalink note references an alternate workaround of installing Visual Studio in a non-default location that doesn't include parenthesis.

  • Question about Oracle Client Software

    Hi!
    I'm going to develop a software which will access an Oracle Database somewhere on the network. This software will be developed using C++ language and will run on a Linux RedHat 7.3 machine.
    Searching for APIs to connect with Oracle Database, I found OCI and OCCI, which I think will do this job. Also, in another thread in this group, I found that I have to install Oracle Client Software on the machine which will run my software. Then I came into a question: is it possible to install Oracle Client Software alone in a machine, I mean, without the entire database? If yes, how about the licenses? Do I have to have a Oracle Client License for each machine running my software or is it free for Linux?
    Thanks in advance,

  • 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1

    Hi Guys,
    Does anyone know what is the patch number for 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1?
    This is a Oracle Application Server and not Oracle Database server.
    I tried searching on Metalink but not able to find it.
    Thanks in advance!
    Avinash.

    10.1.0.5 is not a version number for an OAS. It is only a version number for RDBMS.
    If you are running OAS 10.1.2.x with the Identity Managmenet/SSO (OID Server), & elected to have it install the Metadata Repository database for you, this was a RDBMS release below 10.1.0.5. The OAS patch to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 required the RDMBS be updated to 10.1.0.5 first. This is the standard 10.1.0.5 update for your platform.
    use Advanced Search on Metalink
    To find the OAS 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 patch set, search for Oracle Fusion Middleware Server. Release 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.3. Look for the decriptions like "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10.1.2.3 PATCHSET RELEASE" OR "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2"
    To find the RDBMS 10.1.0.5 patch, search for RDBMS Server, Release 10.1.0.5. Look for the Description containing something like "10.1.0.5 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER"
    The patch number is different per platform, so I can't tell you the exact #s without more info (OS)

  • Are there any licencing costs for Oracle Clients ?

    11.2/Solaris 10
    In my shop, we only install Oracle Client of type Instaclient (not the 'Administrator' type). Instaclient is very basic ; it only has some basic library files and sqlplus binary (no tnsping , exp, imp,...etc). I think they are doing this for saving licence costs.
    Does oracle actually charge for Oracle Client installations ? If so, is there a significant cost difference between 'Administrator' type and 'Instaclient' type ?

  • How do I set-up on %ORACLE_HOME%\bin for Oracle client on Windows XP

    How do I set-up on %ORACLE_HOME%\bin for Oracle client on Windows XP?
    The Oracle bin directory is: C:\oracle\ora90\bin
    Thank you!

    If you are asking how to setup the resolution of %ORACLE_HOME%\bin to C:\oracle\ora90\bin, you must create a system environment variable called ORACLE_HOME that is set to a value of C:\oracle\ora90.
