NOTE: After installing the new client, ensure you select it in Toad’s / SQL Navigator’s login screen | under “Connect Using:” / “Oracle Home/Client:” (ensure you are NOT connected to any database for this setting to be available).I installed the 64 but not sure if I chose the correct file (see below red border) and not sure if I extracted it correctlyĪll I’m trying to achieve is practice SQL statements but found out it is so difficult to reach even this early stage.ĭid you install the correct bit client? 32 bit for 32 bit Toad and 64 bit for 64 bit Toad. The default location for this file in 10g and 11g is:ġ0g - C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\ġ1g - C:\app\ \product\11.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\ Ensure you apply or copy over your TNSNAMES.ORA file (this file usually comes from your company). During the Oracle Client installation, choose “Full” or “Administrator” installation type (this is not automatically selected). The above 32-bit client will work on a 64-bit Windows OS’s. Toad for Oracle 11.5.1 and lower supports 32-bit Oracle Clients only. Ensure that your Windows User has Administrator Rights before installing an Oracle Client (or Toad). This can avoid many potential download and installation problems. Download ‘directly’ to your “DESKTOP” location (and run it from there too). ORACLE CLIENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION NOTES: You need at least one 32-bit client properly configured."
