Connect to Server using TOAD

505977Apr 12 2006 — edited Apr 12 2006

I am a newb to the DBA side of Oracle and have never setup an instance of it or installed it for that matter. I have TOAD and I would like to connect to the server using it. I have installed TOAD 7.6 on my workstation and that is all. I have not installed anthing else. The oracle database is on a server on our network.

Do I need to install some client tools on my workstation to connect to the database server? When I try using ToAD to connect using the correct login, I get an iniitialization error - Could not locate OCI.DLL. I looked on the TOAD website and it mentioned briefly about an 'Oracle Client'.?

Please assist me in getting connected to the server just by what I need locally on my workstation. Is it the same as SQL Server and just installing the Client Tools? If so, where can I find these tools for version 9.2.x.x (I think).

Thanks,
Greg
