IIRCthe install was just pointed to a network share, then a .reg file was generated and rolled out to the clients, so when they opened up an app that needed the client, it pointed to the client on the network drive.

Present day, company I am doing some work for is still using an Oracle 10 client for a legacy app using Oracle 10 database, which is going away in a few months. In the meantime, they need to test an app that needs an 11 or later client, and are also rolling out Windows 10 before the end of the year and want to include a newer Oracle client as part of the roll out.


I'd like to look at having the client on a network share, initially so this new app can be tested with a newer client, and if there are no show stopping issues with this use the network install approach instead of installing it on client workstations.


I am trying to install Oracle 12c instant 32-bit client alongside my 64-bit installation because I can't connect Visual Studio to the 64-bit version (throws BadImageFormatException). I run the installer and give it another directory for home, so it's like this:


I also had the same issue and finally realized that Oracle installer doesn't support both 64bit and 32bit versions alongside. At least as you have mentioned in the question, it has got a bug. Here how I resolved the problem.


To administer your Oracle Database remotely, you will need to connect to the database instance, especially from an SQL*Plus terminal. To be able to do that, you may install the Oracle Database Client and configure it correctly.


The Oracle Client is a software suite allowing you to administer your database remotely, perform basic network configurations, write PL/SQL applications, connect your database to Java, Python type applications, etc.


You can easily install the Oracle Client on a 64-bit Windows PC with a modern processor (AMD or Intel), 2GB of RAM and 2GB of free disk space. Oracle Database Client for Windows x64 is supported on the major x64 distributions (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2016). We recommend you update Windows before starting the client installation.


You also need to connect the client machine to a network and ensure it is able to communicate with the database server. In some cases, you may add exceptions to your firewall on the server side to allow network traffic between the server and the client.


Moreover, we will make sure that the database server is running correctly and is able to serve remote connections. Apart from network connectivity, a listener must be configured on the database server.


In this step, enter the Oracle Home user credentials (username and password) you create earlier. You can also create a new account or use a built-in Windows account (for example, the one you use to launch setup.exe).


In this step, provide the Oracle Database hostname or IP address and a port number to access the database instance. The port number must be the same as the one configured in the listener at the server side.5. Specify database instance name


Enter the global database name of the remote database (eg. db.ept.sn) and optionally the connection mode. The database name might be ORCL if the database server is installed with default configurations.


Before finishing the service name configuration, you can run a test to check if you can access the remote database with the parameters you provided. The wizard will try to connect to the server with a default user account, namely Scott.


You can now access your Oracle Database server from the Client using tools like SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer. For example, you can open a command prompt and connect to the Oracle Database instance with the following command:


It would be worth opening a Tech Support Track to work through the steps you are unsure about. Viya 4 is still pretty new and there aren't a lot of Community users with the firsthand experience to help. Also Viya 4 seems to be using more of a cloud-based SaaS delivery model which doesn't help those who prefer a more DIY approach


Generally speaking, you need the client to be on a file system we can mount into any pods that need it. Often this is done using the NFS server deployed by the IAC. You create a path for the Oracle client within the NFS share, extract the oracle client there, and then use the sample data-access YAML files to mount the NFS to the pods as needed. Then you define the environment variables with the sas-access.properties file to point to the mounted path. The README.md file in $deploy/sas-bases/examples/data-access has more detail on this, or $deploy/sas-bases/docs/configuring_sasaccess_and_data_connectors_for_sas_viya_4.htm if you'd like to view it with a browser.


This could be the issue cause by installing both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on my PC. But I've gone through so many topics online with regards to the same issue but can't seem to resolve it. I've downloaded multiple Drivers from oracle and tried to install them. But they don't seem to install cause I already have (maybe) the required Oracle drivers.


It is important to understand why installing Oracle Client is essential. It gives you access to tools and features needed to connect and interact with Oracle databases. Both developers and IT professionals need this client to unlock the full potential of their Oracle database.


I once helped a colleague install Oracle Client, but we got an error. We looked into it and found an antivirus was blocking some files. After disabling the antivirus, the installation was a success. This shows the importance of disabling antivirus during sensitive installations.


Setting it up needs attention and meeting system requirements. You need the right version and architecture to avoid issues. And configuring network connectivity is vital for communication between the client and server.


We heard a story from John, a software dev who joined a company that used Oracle databases. But they had troubles connecting. So, John studied the installation process and got help from experts.


Yes, you can install multiple versions of Oracle Client on the same machine. Each version will have its own installation directory and environment variables. Make sure to set the appropriate variables when working with a specific version of Oracle Client.


To uninstall Oracle Client, follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel on Windows or use package management commands on Linux/macOS.

2. Locate the Oracle Client installation in the list of installed programs.

3. Choose the option to uninstall or remove the Oracle Client.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation process.

Note: Before uninstalling, ensure that you have backed up any necessary data or configurations related to Oracle Client.

When you do a full server install of 10gR2 (or 9i, or 8i, or 8.0, or

...) on any Unix platform you get the client tools for free in the same

ORACLE_HOME.

You should never mix clients and/or server software of different

versions in one OH.


For the end let me tell you I have successfully installed Oracl 10gR2 RAC with 3 database (PROD, TEST and PROD2) with ASM and CRS ORACLE_HOMES - Totally 5 of them. In RAC installation there is a must to install CRS software separate from ASM and others database software. And the best practice is to have ASM in separate home as well (beside database). For that you may read in 10gR2 RAC installation guide
