  • Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. In this article, I am going to show you how to install Oracle ODBC Driver on Windows 10. I have a working Oracle Database 12c on another computer on my home network. I am trying to connect to my Oracle database from Microsoft Access using ODBC connection.

Progress DataDirect’s ODBC Driver for Oracle Database Cloud Service offers a high-performing, secure and reliable connectivity solution for ODBC applications to access Oracle Database Cloud Service data. Our ODBC driver can be easily used with all versions of SQL and across all platforms - Unix / Linux, AIX, Solaris, Windows and HP-UX.

I have an old 32-bit software program that connects to an Oracle database but only works with the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. It does not work with the more up-to-date native Oracle ODBC driver.

I have installed the Oracle Instant Client (32-bit and 64-bit versions on my 64-bit Win 7 PC), each into different ORACLE_HOME directories.

However when I try to connect via ODBC with Microsoft's driver, I get the error:

The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation.

You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed.

I can connect to the database fine with Oracle's ODBC driver so the install seems fine, but alas this program will only work with Microsoft's ODBC driver.

Since the Microsoft ODBC driver is apparently unable to find the Oracle Instant Client install, how should I tell it where to look?

Technology used: Windows 7, UFT 32 bit, Data Source ODBC pointing out to 32 bit C:WindowsSystem32odbcad32.exe, Oracle client with both versions installed 32 bit and 64 bit.

What worked for me:

  1. Start -> search for “Edit the system environment variables”
  2. System Variables -> Edit Path
  3. Place the path for Oracle client 32 bit in front of the path for Oracle Client 64 bit. Ex:

Turns out this is quite simple. You have to set the PATH environment variable to point to the ORACLE_HOME that you want to use.

For me, I edited the PATH to add ;C:oracleinstantclient32_12_1 on the end and it worked perfectly, no restart needed.

Client

For clarification, the C:oracleinstantclient32_12_1 directory I specified contains files like oci.dll and ociw32.dll and belonged to the 32-bit Instant Client install. I guess it doesn't matter for 64-bit, since there is no Microsoft ODBC 64-bit client.
