Installing JDBC OCI Instant Client libraries

You can install the Instant Client libraries by choosing the Instant Client option from the Oracle Universal Installer. Also, you can download the Instant Client libraries from the Oracle Technology Network website.

To install JDBC OCI Instant Client libraries

  1. Download and install the Instant Client shared libraries and Oracle JDBC class libraries to a directory (for example, instantclient).
  2. Set the library path environment variable to the directory specified in step 1.
     For example:
     On UNIX, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to instantclient.
    On Windows, set PATH to locate the instantclient directory.

  3. Add the full path names of the JDBC class libraries to the CLASSPATH environment variable. 

    Note

    Library names of Oracle JDBC 10.2 release are used in the Oracle client-side files required to deploy a JDBC OCI application. The names can vary, depending on the OCI client version that has been installed. The files must be in the CLASSPATH and the %AO_HOME%/lib/add-ons directory.
