Installing Oracle Odbc Drivers For Mac

• Installing Oracle Odbc Drivers For Mac Windows 10

The following steps guide you through the process of successfully installing and configuring our ODBC-JDBC Bridge drivers for Mac OS X. Once installed, your JDBC Data Sources will be accessible to. Download the Oracle 12.2 Instant Client Basic and ODBC packages from Instant Client Downloads for macOS (Intel x86). To reduce the installation size, the Basic Light package be used instead of Basic, if its character sets and languages are sufficient. On Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), you will be unable to retrieve data from ODBC data sources to Excel X unless you install the iODBC SDK. This is because Microsoft Query (an application that Excel uses to retrieve external data) is a CFM application, and the ODBC libraries that Apple install are Mach-O libraries (a different format).

NOTE: 32-bit Windows applications will not work with Oracle's 64-bit ODBC driver. Therefore, users of 64-bit versions of Windows may need to install the 32-bit version of the Oracle Client if they intend to make ODBC connections with 32-bit applications. For instance, if you are running 64-bit Windows 7 but you plan to use a 32-bit copy of MS Access to connect to EPM, you should install the 32-bit version of the Oracle Client. If you intend to use both 64-bit and 32-bit applications to create ODBC connections, you will need to install both clients. Select the 'Accept License Agreement' option along the top of the page. Click on the download link for the 'Client' for your version of Windows.

You will be prompted to sign in with an Oracle account, or to create one (free). Once you have signed in, or created your account and then signed in, you will be asked to download the client.

Windows will decompress the contents of the zip archive into a folder of the same name. Open the resulting folder and the subfolder 'Client'. Double-click on the application labeled 'setup' to launch the installer program. On the first installer screen choose 'Administrator' as the installation type.

Click 'Next ' on the language selection screen. On the 'Specify Installation Location' screen change the default 'Oracle Base' location to C: Oracle32 if you installed the 32-bit client, or C: Oracle64 if you installed the 64-bit client. Click 'Next ' to continue with the installation.

The installer program will check for prerequisites and initiate the installation process. Once the installation is complete, you will be taken to a summary screen.
