10g instantclient

[kthomas]

I'm trying to get PL/SQL Developer and DOA to work with Oracle's new 10g "instantclient". I am able to connect with SQLPlus, but can't get PL/SQL Developer or DOA to work. With this "instantclient", there isn't any traditional Oracle Home defined in the registry. Any ideas?

We'll have to add explicit support for this in Direct Oracle Access. Currently it relies on an Oracle registry section. We'll add this in the next patch release.

Explicitly supplying the OCI library on the command line of your Direct Oracle Access application or PL/SQL Developer may do the trick though:

plsqldev.exe ocidll=c:\oracle10g\bin\oci.dll
