Oracle Client Download: Win 7 64 bit, 10g or 11g

CornellMay 1 2014 — edited May 1 2014

We're moving from database version 10.2 to 11.2.0.3.0.  We're using 32 bit 10201 client (10201_client_win32.zip).  The client seems to work with 11g.

I've a new machine, Win 7 64 bit.  I want to download the appropriate client for 64 bit and version 11.

I believe that a version 11 client should be backward compatible to a 10 database, is that correct?

And.. where do I find the download for the client?  I've found links, such as http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle11g/win64_11gR1_client.zip, in this forum, but they seem to be dead.

I've found "Instant Client", but I don't think that's what I'm seeking.

I did a search from the Instant Client download page, for win64_11gR2_client.zip and found page which Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x64)  , which includes a reference to "Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)", which download file is win64_11gR2_client.zip.


Does that seem to be the 64 bit, version 11.2 replacement for 32 bit, version 10.2 client 10201_client_win32.zip?
