I am trying to add the ODBC driver for Oracle so that i can make an excel query. I have Win7 64bit and Office2010 64bit.
I have already tried to install:
Oracle - Oraclient12Home1
Oracle - OraDB11ghome1
codeproject.com/Questions/239773/how-to-configure-microsoft-odbc-for-oracle-in-win
stackoverflow.com/questions/11873160/connect-to-an-oracle-db-using-odbc
It just won't add.
Both:
The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.
The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
Have the below drivers only.

I have 64-bit Oracle Database Server (11.2.0.3) installed on Windows 2008 R2, and naturally, it automatically installs the 64-bit client. I have to install an application onto this server that is 32-bit and requires the 32-bit Oracle client. (Don't Ask - I can't install the 64-bit version of this app, it won't work with the 64-bit client, and I can't install it on another server.)
Now i have tried installing the 32-bit Client into a different physical folder and selected a different value for the Oracle Base and Software Location when installing and it installed just fine. And it put the BIN folder of the 32-bit Client installation at the head of the PATH statemtn.
However, when i tried to run "SQLplus system/system" with the 32-bit version it gives me the "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error". When I go into the folder with the 64-bit sqlplus.exe and ran it (directly and not through PATH), the "system/system" credentials worked fine.
I copied the TNSNames folder from the Oracle Server's NETWORK/admin folder to the Oracle Client's NETWORK/admin folder, and rebooted the server. Same results.
This is the extent of my troubleshooting knowledge for Oracle.
How can i get the 32-bit Client to run on the same server as the 64-bit Oracle Server?
I know in linux/Unix, you simply put in the lib32 folder into the the 64-bit client folder and set a couple of environment variables, but i'm pretty sure it's not that simple in Windows.
If there is a way to do this, please be descriptive in you answer as I will need step-by-step instructions.
Thanks in advance.
Here is an instruction how to install 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle Client on one machine. Follow the instruction, then it should work.
Assumptions: Oracle Home is called OraClient11g_home1, Client Version is 11gR2
Download and install Oracle x86 Client, for example into C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x86
Download and install Oracle x64 Client into different folder, for example to C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x64
Open command line tool, go to folder %WINDIR%\System32, typically C:\Windows\System32 and create a symbolic link ora112 to folder C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x64 (see commands section below)
Change to folder %WINDIR%\SysWOW64, typically C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and create a symbolic link ora112 to folder C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x86, (see below)
Modify the PATH environment variable, replace all entries like C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x86 and C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x64 by C:\Windows\System32\ora112, respective their \bin subfolder. Note: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ora112 must not be in PATH environment.
If needed set your ORACLE_HOME environment variable to C:\Windows\System32\ora112
Open your Registry Editor. Set Registry value HKLM\Software\ORACLE\KEY_OraClient11g_home1\ORACLE_HOME to C:\Windows\System32\ora112. Using C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x64 should also work.
Set Registry value HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_OraClient11g_home1\ORACLE_HOME to C:\Windows\System32\ora112 (not C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ora112). Using C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x86 should also work.
You are done! Now you can use x86 and x64 Oracle client seamless together, i.e. an x86 application will load the x86 libraries, an x64 application loads the x64 libraries without any further modification on your system.
Probably it is a smart idea to set your TNS_ADMIN environment variable (resp. TNS_ADMIN entries in Registry) to a common location, for example TNS_ADMIN=C:\Oracle\Common\network\admin
Commands to create symbolic links:
cd C:\Windows\System32
mklink /d ora112 C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x64
cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
mklink /d ora112 C:\Oracle\11.2\Client_x86
Notes:
Both symbolic links must have the same name, e.g. ora112.
Despite of their names folder C:\Windows\System32 contains the x64 libraries, whereas C:\Windows\SysWOW64 contains the x86 (32-bit) libraries. Don't get confused.
Background information, why this works: Registry Redirector and File System Redirector
I had the same issue. Both 32 and 64 bit ORA clients installed on same Windows 10 machine (separate folders) and 32 bit apps stopped working. All I had to do was edit the System Environment variables and DELETE the ORACLE_HOME entry, then re-boot. Windows/Oracle do the rest based on the registry entries. Just need to copy the tnsnames.ora to both installations.
I have been trying for a while now, to connect Excel to Oracle through PowerPivot, but unfortunately to no success.
I am currently getting this error: An error happened while reading data from the provider. 'Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.'.
I have so far done the following:
1. Installed Oracle Client x64
I installed Oracle Client x64 from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/112010-win64soft.html. I used file win64_11gR2_client.zip. In the installation proccess I went for the option InstantClient
2. Installed Oracle's ODBC Instant Client x64
I went to https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/winx64-64-downloads.html and downloaded both instantclient-basic-windows.x64-19.6.0.0.0dbru.zip and instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-19.6.0.0.0dbru.zip. I 'installed' them by unziping them in the same folder, and running odbc_install.
Then, I added the directory to my path environment variables and then created a new one called TNS_ADMIN and added the same directory.
3. Installed Oracle's ODBC Instant Client x32
Finally I did the same for the x32 files, but I did not add that directory to my environment variables.
I validated the correct installation by finding the drivers here:

x32 Drivers:
Help in Troubleshooting
It is frustrating that besides the error message I can't find any way to troubleshoot this issue. Any ideas on what could it be? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
Thanks!
With 32 bit Oracle Instant client
Option 1 with ODBC drivers
Option 2 without ODBC drivers and ODAC client
Option 1: After installing 32 bit odbc drivers try to add only 32 bit instant client to path or if you add both clients to system path make sure 32 bit client is above 64 bit client
If the order is set correctly in system path you can verify from command prompt with where command
C:\WINDOWS\system32>where sqlplus
D:\instantclient_19_6_x86\sqlplus.exe
D:\instantclient_19_6_x64\sqlplus.exe
or with command path
C:\WINDOWS\system32>path
PATH=D:\instantclient_19_6_x86;D:\instantclient_19_6_x64;xxxxx
If set correctly You can connect via odbc File--->From Other Sources --> From ODBC
Option 2: Enables you to connect to database via ODAC Client without ODBC driversFile--->From Database --> From Oracle Database
Download ODAC 32 bit from Oracle ODP.NET_Managed_ODAC122cR1.zip.
Unzip the folder and from elevated command prompt install
D:\ODP.NET_Managed_ODAC122cR1>install_odpm.bat D:\instantclient_19_6_x86 x86 true
Here I set target directory to 32 bit instant client i.e D:\instantclient_19_6_x86
Edit: Add tns name entry in tnsnames.ora and tns_admin system variable
i,e TNS_ADMIN= D:\instantclient_19_6_x86\network\admin
I have installed Postgresql 9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04, and installed postgresql ODBC and Unix ODBC drivers. When I test the ODBC connection with isql it works fine. Also, I am able to connect to the databases using pgadmin III from local and remote locations.
But, when I am trying to install a software which will create a connection using ODBC I am getting the following error
Connect failed!
Error code = -1

But the library actually exists in this location. Please advise. I have attached the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini for your reference.

The version of the psqlodbca.so is shown as 'stripped'. However, in the documentation of the software that I am trying to install it mentions to use 'not stripped' version. Could you please help me understand how could I procure the 'not stripped' version of the client library?
The problem was with the packaged libraries in the software that I was using to communicate to the database. After removing liblber-2.4.so.2 from the software lib, this started working.
For your reference, if any of you out there, is facing same problem while installing Opentext Documentum 7.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and PostgreSQL 9.4, you might be hitting the same issue.
Having a question on Oracle. Computer has Oracle 11.2 32bit Client installed(win is 64bit) However, downloaded Office x64 and want to connect to OracleDB.
I have tried to download from Oracle page Oracle Instant Client Basic, inserted into it x64 ODBC Instant Client, made a path in environments to it and launched CMD installation, and got message that it was successfully installed. However, when i launch ODBC Administrator, and try to add System DSN of OraClient , i do not see possible options for 64bit ODBC connection.
Where can be the problem? Oracle client is installed in C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1 and x64 ODBC connection with Instant Client i have put in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
Windows has two versions of odbcad32.exe:
The 32-bit version of the odbcad32.exe is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64.
The 64-bit version of the odbcad32.exe is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32.
To add a 64-bit DSN, you need to start odbcad32.exe from %systemdrive%\Windows\System32.
I am trying to install odbc driver on linux but could not check either it's install or not , please tell me how to check odbc driver are install on linux
Both Debian and Redhat/CentOS have a config file that lists all the ODBC drivers you have installed on the system.

There are two open source ODBC driver managers for UNIX (unixODBC and iODBC). unixODBC Driver Manager as it is the one included with most Linux distributions and some UNIX distributions.
In unixODBC ODBC drivers are defined in the odbcinst.ini file. If unixODBC is already installed you can use unixODBC's odbcinst program to locate the odbcinst.ini file used to defined drivers:
$ odbcinst -j
unixODBC 2.2.11
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini
Note, the above command also shows the version of unixODBC, in this case version 2.2.11.
