Redistribution of Oracle Instant Client in a linux distro

Hello,
Im one of the Archlinux TUs (Trusted Users, who are packagers for the community repository, i mean, a repository of users packages).
I want to know if that is possible and legal to redistribute the oracle-instant-client in a binary form (in a pkg.tar.gz - i.e package ) ?
Some great opensource packages use oracle and it would be great if we could add it to make these packages avaliable to all users.
For more info about archlinux and AUR (Archlinux User Repositories):
http://archlinux.org
http://aur.archlinux.org
Thanks for the attention.

let's continue this thread here: .oui error in the install of oracle database client in a linux CentOS

Oracle instant Client and memory

Hello everybody,
I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
Thx in advance.
Maat

If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory
for all its NLS data. The Instant Client Lite package uses a smaller
footprint.
Make sure you know what you are measuring and whether what you are
seeing actually has an effect on performance.

Linux: oracle instant client sqlplus cannot locate glogin.sql

Hi, I've downloaded and extracted instantclient and sqlplus for instant client. Added instantclient to libraries (through ldconf), added sqlplus.so to libraries also, added sqlplus executable to $PATH, installed rlwrap. I see that in sqlplus's directory there is glogin.sql. I've added "set linesize 100" there. Also I've created SQLPATH variable pointing to the directory where glogin.sql located. But it seems that when I connect to my database through 'rlwrap sqlplus name/pwd@url:port/sid' glogin.sql isn't applied. I execute 'show linesize' and it prints me default 80. Please advise.

hi,
have you had any success in resolving your glogin issue?
the recommended setting of ORACLE_HOME didn't help, neiother did ORACLE_PATH nor renaming glogin.sql to login.sql;
regards, carsten
ps:
oracle instant client 11.2.0.3.0 on win 7 x64
pps: (partial solution)
executing sqlplus in the directory where a login.sql file is located did the trick for me

The Instant Client SDK on Linux was released today

The 10.1.0.3 Linux Instant Client SDK was posted on OTN today. See
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
You can now use Instant Client to compile PHP. You need to modify
PHPs configuration scripts first. One suggested change is given in
PHP bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31084 The diff in the bug is a
little awkwardly wrapped. Here it is again for ease of
cutting/pasting. See the bug for the other instructions.

Help Using Instant Client ODBC on Linux

I am familiar with using ODBC and visual basic under Windows. I would like to use the Oracle instant client ODBC under Red Hat ES3 within a C or C++ program to access an Oracle database.
Where can I find documentation related to this:
a) setting up an ODBC connection on Linux
b) installing the Oracle instant client on Linux
c) building an application with Oracle instant client ODBC
Am I correct in assuming that any C/C++ ODBC code examples from windows could also be used on Linux.
Thanks,
Werner

We are also interested in the very same thing. We are using third party compiler called SIMSCRIPT from CACI which has a module called SDBC for database connectivity. SDBC requires ODBC to be installed/configured. Our application is for Linux, therefore we are interested in using the ODBC driver on Linux clients to connect Oracle database servers on Linux and Sparc. I see the odbc related zip (for 10g) and rpm (for 11g) instant client files on the OTN Instant Client download page. How to install/configure odbc instant client? Is there a document/whitepaper/Metalink Note ?
Thank you

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
Gail Lange
Here is the debug.log in the case when libirc.so is just in /usr/lib/gaim:
CONFIGURE: './configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--enable-track-vars'
'--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib' '--enable-debug'

Thanks

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:

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,

Oracle Instant Client libraries wouldn't install

I tried installing Oracle libraries (main file is called "oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1.i386", SDK and SQL according to the manual Oracle provides here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B1930601/install.102/e12121/insttask.htm#CIHEJFGF
After files is unzipped, manual instructs to use "runInstaller" command out of the directory where files are placed but this command is not recognized which tells me that either command file is missing or command is spelled wrong in the manual.
If anybody has successfully installed Oracle Instant Client on OS X 10.6 from the official Oracle download, please help! Thanks in advance.

Ok - I ran an ugly hack (similar to what I did with Linux) and manually moved files to locations which Oracle considers default and which do not require environmental variables, as follows:
When in the directory where Oracle client files were unzipped, run these commands:
cp sdk/include/*.h /usr/include
cp sqlplus /usr/bin
cp lib /usr/lib
Also, to be able to install OCI8 PHP module, following symbolic link will need to be created:
A symbolic link will need to be created as follows:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libclntsh.dylib.10.1 libclntsh.dylib
I then installed oci8 for PHP and DBD::oracle for Perl and ran some test files, they work. However, if somebody knows why libraries didn't install with the command, as manual instructs, please answer! Thanks in advance!

Triying to intall oracle instant client

Hi Buddies;
I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
I got to create the next:
Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 67053 Nov 15 2006 genezi
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5486009 Nov 15 2006 libnnz10.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1398088 Nov 15 2006 libocci.so.10.1

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 120135 Nov 15 2006 libocijdbc10.so
My doubt is, which of them to execute?
And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks and best Regards;
Al

At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
/home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
/etc/tnsnames.ora
/<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
Hope that helps.

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.

Imp Exp utility in ubuntu 10.4 with oracle instant client 10

Hi,
I have a problem with the imp/exp utility on Ubuntu 10.4.
I have installed the oracle instant client 10, and I have followed this thread
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/impexp.htm#CHDDBGDF]
So, I've set env variable in my .bashrc
ORACLE_HOME=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1
export ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${PATH}
export PATH
SQLPATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${SQLPATH}
export SQLPATH
Sqlplus works fine, but when I try to use the utility exp/imp
exp DB_USER/DB_PW@DB_SCHEMA owner=DB_USER buffer=300000 LOG=DB_USER.log FILE=DB_USER.dmp compress=n
I have the following error:
No command 'exp' found, did you mean:
Command 'xep' from package 'pvm-examples' (universe)
Command 'ex' from package 'vim' (main)
Command 'ex' from package 'nvi' (universe)

(I cannot use data pump exp)
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

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

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 :-)

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.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
