Installing PL/SQL with Oracle 11g client

[desimutant]

hello,

I have a 64 bit windows 7. I was seearching the forum and cam eto know that PL/SQL developer is only 32 bit. I want to know that will it work with a 64 bit oracle 11g client? or will i have to install a 32 bit client, secondly will the 32 bit client run okay on a 64 bit windows 7??

Thanks

You will indeed need to install a 32 Bit Oracle11g Client. PL/SQL Developer is a 32 Bit application, so it cannot interface with a 64 Bit Oracle Client.

The 32 Bit Oracle Client can communicate with a 64 Bit Server, even on the same machine if necessary. The 32 Bit client can coexist with a 64 Bit Oracle installation when installed in separate Oracle Home directories.
