Windows 7 - Oracle 10.2.0.5 Database Client Installation (32bit)

Where can I get this?
I tried installing the 10.2.0.3 client, and the 10.2.0.5 patchset - but that got me nowhere. It seems like the patchset is for the DB server, not the client (unless there is something I am missing due to obtuseness.).
Is there a standalone installer for the 10.2.0.5 db client?
The following announcement indicates it will be made available: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=ANNOUNCEMENT&id=1061272.1
It also says to check https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=742060.1 for specific release dates. This document, however, does not specifically mention the client. The 10.2.0.5 release for Windows 7 was July 19/2010.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, that doesn't help at all.
1173433.1 has instructions for installation of the database server, not the client. I want to install only the client.
Here are the explicit steps I am trying:
1) Installing the Oracle 10.2.03 Database client (Administrator install, 10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.zip)
2) Attempting to install the 10.2.05 patch set (p8202632_10205_WINNT.zip) by either:
On the "Specify Home Details" page, if I select the client directory instead of the default DB directory (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 instead of C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1) it gives the following error:
OUI-10136:An Oracle Home with name OraClient10g_home1 already exists at location C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1. Please specify another location for Oracle Home.
or
Onthe "Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks" page, it will give the following error:
Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ...
Actual Result: NEW_HOME
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: This software can only be installed into an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle Home.
Recommendation: Choose an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle Home for installing this software.

OraOLEDB.Oracle: Provider not found: Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 Client installation

Hi All,
I am working on a SSIS task in which i need to get data from Oracle database which is on remote server.
But when created the SSIS package and tried to create the connection from the connection manager using OLE DB connection, I am not able to find the provder 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' . I have oracle client, toad installed on my machine.Using toad, I am able to connect to the Oracle database.
Please suggest. For time being I am using 'Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle' to make the SSIS working.
Edited by: 982652 on Jan 17, 2013 11:02 PM

Alright, so it's not that. It's possible the OLE DB provider isn't installed, depending on how you installed the Oracle client.
This link has a little windows script that can list all the known OLE DB providers. That should tell you if its installed and SSIS isn't finding it, or if it's not installed at all. http://www.motobit.com/help/regedit/sa117.htm

Oracle 11g client installation on Solaris in non GUI mode

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way i can install Oracle 11g client on Solaris 10 machine in non GUI mode (ie. i want to do it from a command based terminal)
Thanks
Anup

Hi Anup
You have two ways to install it
1) Client installation without response file
Please Refer to Doc ID 885643.1
2) With Response file
Refer to the document available in Document library
Document Oracle® Database Client Installation Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2) for Solaris Operating System
Note: from 11gR2 onwards you can create a response file from GUI also and then use it later on for silent installation.
Hope this is helpful for You

Database Client - Server Interoperability betwen different platforms

Hi everyone,
we run a 11.1.0.7 on HP-UX Itanium servers. We use COBOL, and connecting to database is via Database Client libraries (COBOL precompiler, client libraries linked to application). Application, Client and Server are on the same server.
Now we are planning to move database to different server and even to different platform. So finally we would have a HP-UX server with a Database Client software (the same version as database server) with a COBOL procompilers libraries and the database server on different server on IBM AIX server.
Do you thing this is a problem? As I expect there wouldn't be a problem because client and database comunnicates on platform-free (endian-free) protocol OCI or whichever protocol it is.
Thanks for any reactions,
Michal

Cannot Store Chinese Characters In Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database

Hi,
I'm having trouble localizing my Oracle 9.2.0.7 / ASP web application for our Chinese-speaking users.
My Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database has NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET set to AL16UTF16.
I've set up a test table thus:
CREATE TABLE "TBL_TEST_CH"
field1                          NVARCHAR2(40),
field2                          NVARCHAR2(40)
I have the Chinese character set installed on my database / web server (same box), as well as a test client machine. I can see Chinese characters in my web browser, and can enter them in a test ASP page I've set up. When I execute an insert statement via ADO, the insert statement seems to work, but the result is that the data seems to be stored as upside-down question marks.
I thought perhaps the data was being somehow scrambled between the web app and the database, so I set up an external table import the Chinese data from a Unicode text file:
CREATE TABLE kenny.ch_import
     FIELD1          NVARCHAR2(255),
     FIELD2          NVARCHAR2(255)
     ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (TYPE oracle_loader
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dat_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
     (RECORDS DELIMITED BY ":"
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "~"
     missing field values are null)
     LOCATION (ext_dat_dir:'test_ch.txt'))
     reject limit unlimited
However, when I query the data in the external table using my web application, it comes back with garbage like "ÿþ1" and the like.
To attempt to determine if the database is capable of storing the Chinese characters, I've performed the following test:
1) I insert a Chinese character in an NVARCHAR2 field in my table by using the UNISTR function thus:
insert into tbl_test_ch (field1) values (unistr('\3E00'))
2) I interrogated the value using the dump function thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
I'm struggling to understand the output. Obviously the character set being used is "AL16UTF16" (which I would expect to be able to store Chinese characters), but the return_format argument I've provided to the function (1016) should return the hexadecimal code point of the character that's being stored. I would expect this to be the same as I inserted ("3E00"), but I'm getting the following output:
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 3e,0
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on what I could do next to determine exactly where the problem lies. I've not been able to convince myself that the database is correctly storing the Chinese character data, but I appreciate equally that the problem could lie elsewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny McEwan.

Thanks, Serguisz.
My technology stack is as follows:
ASP 3.0 web application, running on IIS6.
On the web servier, I have MDAC 2.8 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
On the Oracle database server, I have Windows Server 2003 SP1.
My Oracle database version is 9.2.0.7.
The client I've been using in this investigation is Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.
It does look like you're right about characters coming from the application are being corrupted. To support this, I tried to insert the chinese character 博 as well as the Unihan character 中 from a web page in my application. I then used the dump function to interrogate the contents of the field I input to thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Both characters seem to have suffered the same corruption.
The problem seems to happen in the other direction as well - even after verifying that the character detailed in the previous post was stored correctly, it is still displayed by my web app as an upside down question mark.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Best regards,
Kenny.

Installing an Oracle Database client on Application Server

Hi all
I have posted before but thought I'd clean up my original question and repost - apologies but I'm desperate for help here.
I have a problem using Oracle Wallet with Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update 10.1.2.3.0 on Windows 2003. The problem arises because the database which ships with this version of Application Server is 10.1.0.5. This database version is not compatible with Oracle Wallet external passwords eg sqlplus /@MY_WALLET_NAME.
So...to get around this I'm looking at putting the 10.2 database client on which will allow me to use sqlplus with the wallet.
My questions is:
Does anyone have any advice for retaining existing Application Server functionality (we use Discoverer, Forms and Reports (RWCLIENT)) with a new Oracle 10.2 home on the server?
I will put on the client so would expect if I copy across the tnsnames & sqlnet ora, the connectivity is all backward compatible. SQL*Plus is obviously backward compatible. I'm not familiar with Application Server so am looking for guidance on any configurations I might need to change to make sure they pick up the right Oracle Home. For example, with the new Oracle Home at the start of the %PATH%, will RWCLIENT work as normal?
Thanks,
Tom

What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database?

Hello,
anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
Regards,
Balaram

SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
The SQL Server advantages:
SQL Server holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
SQL Server is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
The Oracle Database advantages:
Oracle Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

Hi
I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
Please, Can any one help me in this????

a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

Unreadable Charactors (?????) - Oracle to SQL Server 2005 Database

Hi everybody:
I have some trouble in Oracle Database client and SQL Server 2005,when I
SELECT some table(in that table have some japanese charactors and these
table are in SQL Server 2005 ) in Oracle Database client.And I have some
errors as follows:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_GetRows:
preceding 2 lines from MSQL3 Cause
And the detail description are as following:
1. Table A in SQL Server 2005 has datatype as nchar. Data stored in this
table are Japanese charactors, for eg カラー, 品番, etc and some are
English charactors.
2. ODBC version 2000.81.9002.00 is set in Oracle Server.
3. a) Connection to SQL Server 2005 (as mentioned in Point 1) is done
through a database link object, named MSQL on Oracle 10G.
b) NLS_CHARACTERSET in 10G is UTF8.
c) NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in 10G is AL16UTF16
4. We use PL/SQL DEVELOPER 7.0 and client's unicode is set as UTF8.
Problem:
Sometimes We keep on getting unreadable charactors (ie ?????) when we use PL/SQL
to run queries from Table A.But other sometimes we have the error as above
i.e
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_GetRows:
preceding 2 lines from MSQL3 Cause
However, no problem found so far for English charactors.
Thank you very much.

Hi Ushitaki
Thank you again .
What kind of developer tools do you use with on trying that?
We use PL/SQL DEVELOPER 7.0 ,and we also have tried Toad developer tools ,no matter what tools the problem still exist....
On the other hand we set NLS_LANG and set the windows codepage 932 and 936 ,too.But it's a pity we still get the error.
and the error as follows :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_GetRows:
preceding 2 lines from MSQL3 Cause
