Oracle 11g 64bit Client on 64 bit Win2008 R2 cluster running Sql2008 R2

  • Hi,

    Has anyone managed to successfully install Oracle 11g R2 client on Win 2008 R2 64bit cluster running Sql2008 R2 & get Oracle to appear as an available Provider in SSMS ?

    We have installed the Oracle 11g R2 64bit client ( full admin ) according to Oracle's instructions & as a test, we successfully configured a connection to our target server using Oracle Net Manager, but still no Oracle provider from within SSMS.

    Also, we installed the Oracle 11g R2 32bit client ( full admin ) to a different Oracle home as a try, still nada in SSMS !.

    Tia

  • With Sql Server 2008R2, I had to install the Oracle 64 bit 11GR2 client. A 32 bit client is a bit tricky and I haven't had the need for a linked server using an Oracle 32 bit (some People Soft applications (maybe all) require a 32 bit client).

    I do know the 32 bit client has a dll that does NOT display as a driver for linked servers but never looked into this.

    To create an odbc connection using a 32 bit Oracle Client you have to navigate to the 32 bit oracle client dll which is installed in 'program files (x86)' folder.

  • Hi,

    Finally got it to work using Attunity connectors: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=d9cb21fe-32e9-4d34-a381-6f9231d84f1e&DisplayLang=en
