Oracle's Instant Client ODBC software is a standalone package that offers the full functionality of the Oracle ODBC driver (except the Oracle service for Microsoft Transaction Server) with a simple install.

Instant Client ODBC requires the Oracle Instant Client Basic or Basic Light package (depending on your locale requirements) also be installed. Download the desired package from OTN for your operating system and follow the installation instructions on the download page. For example, unzip the package to C:\instantclient_19_3 on Windows, unzip to /opt/oracle/instantclient_19_3 on Linux or other platforms, or use yum to install the RPM packages on Linux.

5. Set any Oracle Globalization variables required for your locale. See the Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for more information. For example on Linux you could set export NLS_LANG=JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC to work in the JA16EUC character in Japanese.

An ODBC application has to load the Oracle Instant Client ODBC driver's shared library file (see next section) to connect to Oracle Database. On Linux/Unix the directory path of the shared library should be set in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or platform equivalent. It can also be configured in /etc/ld.so.conf. On Windows it should be set in the PATH environment variable.

Refer to the topics Environment Variables for OCI Instant Client and Database Connection Strings in the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for setting up the Database Connection string and related environment variables like TNS_ADMIN, TWO_TASK, LOCAL etc.

On Linux and UNIX Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Linux/UNIX can be done by generating the Instant Client ODBC package and Basic or Basic Light package in a patched ORACLE_HOME. The procedure for patching and generating Instant Client ODBC, Basic and Basic Light packages is given in the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide. These new packages should then be unzipped into the Instant Client directory that needs to be patched. This method of patching is recommended.

On Windows Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Windows can be done only by manually copying the ODBC driver shared library files and supporting library files from a patched ORACLE_HOME or from an unpacked Oracle Database Bundle patch. These should be copied into the Instant Client directory. Generating an Instant Client ODBC package is not available on Windows.

2) However, I was having a problem when I tried to connect to oracle 11g through Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver through my connection string . It said that Microsoft ODBC Driver was not defined or specified.

I have an old 32-bit software program that connects to an Oracle database but only works with the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. It does not work with the more up-to-date native Oracle ODBC driver.

For clarification, the C:\oracle\instantclient32_12_1 directory I specified contains files like oci.dll and ociw32.dll and belonged to the 32-bit Instant Client install. I guess it doesn't matter for 64-bit, since there is no Microsoft ODBC 64-bit client.

I have an issue setting up a connection to an older version of Oracle. I have set up an ODBC connection on the On Prem server that hosts the gateway, and I've tested the connection. However when I try to create a ODBC connection in Fabric, I get the following error.

This is now resolved. I tried a number of things, before testing. But best guess that it was the permissions for the Power BI service for the on prem gateway. I gave it read and write permissions to the oracle folder in Program files.

The error message "ODBC: ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114" indicates an issue with the Oracle ODBC driver while connecting to an older Oracle version in Microsoft Fabric.
