Instant client - compatibility
makelMay 28 2013 — edited May 29 2013I'd like to try the OCI thick-client option to get around some irritations I've encountered with the thin client (cancelling queries, large data sets). So far I've not found a version that works. The only advice I've found is to use a more recent version than my DB, and to use 64 bit as I'm on a 64 bit machine. I've tried 4 different instant client installs, including the most recent (11.2.0.3.0) and I don't have time to try them all. The highest version caused SQL Dev to crash completely! With lower versions I get:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation: oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.getLibraryVersionNumber()I Vendor code 0
Could someone point me to a matrix of tested/supported versions?
My SQL Dev version: 3.2.20.09, Database versions vary between 9i and 10g
