Oracle 10g / Windows 64bit

[Jim Eckels]

We are using libraries for 4.0.7

It works fine with an Oracle 10g client 32bit. We are however having issues with a windows platform (64bit) and Oracle 10g (which I presume, and am verifying is a 64 bit Oracle client). Does 4.0.7 require that the Oracle libraries be 32 bit? I would think so, but wanted to validate before making that assumption.

Thanks, in advance, for your information.

Yes, Direct Oracle Access requires a 32 Bit Oracle Client, since Delphi generates 32 Bit applications.

Note that on 64 Bit platforms, the default installation directory for 32 Bit applications is often something like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\...

The parentheses in the directory name will cause an Oracle Net error. This is an Oracle Net bug.

Thank you. Yes, 32bit client worked like a charm.

Do you know the Oracle bug number that you have noted above?

dLTCAL, yeah, it was complaining about the directory I installed our applications. Once, changed to a different directory (not under (x86)) it was ok.
