sqlcl 23.4 does not work with instant client 21c

Ned GhanemJan 30 2024

Hi

23.1 was working on db server when setting ORACLE_HOME to instant client 21c.

sqlcl 23.4 is failing with this error:

Warning: Found incompatible $ORACLE_HOME for database version 19
Thick driver unavailable for use.

SQLcl: Release 23.4 Production on Tue Jan 30 15:21:04 2024

looks like sql in 23.4 is looking for sqlplus under $ORALCE_HOME/bin but this is not in instant client

# Using the product version here so we can identify and compare $ORACLE_HOME support
local PRODUCT_VERSION=23.4.0.023.2321
local BASEVERSION=`echo $PRODUCT_VERSION|awk -F. {'print $1'}`

if [[ -n "$ORACLE_HOME" ]];
then
debug $LINENO "ORACLE_HOME found at $ORACLE_HOME"
if [[ -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus ]];
