Download Oracle client 64 for Linux -- two different webpages encountered

2667785Mar 3 2016 — edited Mar 8 2016

On Feb 17, 2016, I downloaded Oracle client 64 for Linux from Oracle website -- I hope it was Oracle.  The file name has identifier of V46097-01.  The download page was similar to the details described on this webpage that I later found in my search to verify the download (you may need English translation to view).

*** Moderator action (Timo): removed the link to the japanese web page which we don't understand and don't need to help you out. The answers to your questions are valid and solve your issue. ***

I downloaded Oracle 12c Release 1 Client (12.1.0.2.0) for Linux x86-64 (64-bit), part number V46097-01.

Today, when I searched the Oracle website again for the Oracle client Linux 64 download, this is what I get.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/database12c-linux-download-2240591.html

Oracle Database 12c Release 1 Client (12.1.0.2.0) for Linux x86-64 will download linuxadm4_12c_client.zip (64-bit). The download page looks totally different from what I accessed on Feb 17.

Questions to the Oracle community:

1. Was the webpage I visited on Feb 17, 2016 a legitimate Oracle webpage?  My current location is Canada.

2. If the webpage is legitimate, what's difference between V46097-01.zip and linuxamd_12c_client.zip?  When I googled oracle V46097-01.zip, there are a few

articles on this topic.  So, someone may have been accessing the same webpage that I visited on Feb 17.

3. Does amd in the file name imply it's for AMD processor only?  Will it work on INTEL servers?

4. How can I navigate to the same webpage where V46097-01.zip was initially found on Feb 17?  Is this webpage obsolete?

Thank you for your response.
