Multiple clients on Windows 7?

913917Feb 2 2012 — edited Feb 3 2012

I currently have a 64-bit Oracle 11gR2 client on Windows 7 64-bit desktop accessing an Oracle 10g database. This set-up works fine to reach the database either via SQL-PLUS or via a QlikView 64-bit desktop client.

The problem is that Toad for Data Analysts, which I need to access the same 10g database, only works with a 32-bit Oracle client.

Can I have 2 clients on my desktop: a 64-bit Oracle administrator installation for Qlikview and a 32-bit Oracle Instant Client for Toad? Do I use copies of the same TSNAMES.ORA in both installations since they are accessing the same database?

Thanks!
