| How To Configure Oracle Instant Client (64-bit) | |
| =============================================== | |
| Download the 64-bit Instant Client from the Oracle Developers Portal | |
| Extract the client to a folder like C:\ORACLE\INSTANT | |
| Add the client folder above to the Windows PATH variable | |
| Add a TNS_ADMIN environment variable (TNS_ADMIN=C:\ORACLE\INSTANT) | |
| Add a NLS_LANG environment variable (NLS_LANG=American_America.CL8MSWIN1251) | |
| Create the registry entries for the 64 bit client | |
| Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ORACLE] | |
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_INSTANTCLIENT] | |
| "NLS_LANG"="American_America.CL8MSWIN1251" | |
| "ORACLE_HOME"="c:\\oracle\\instant" | |
| "ORACLE_HOME_NAME"="MY_INSTANTCLIENT" | |
| Adjust the "tnsnames.ora" file to reflect your database server configuration | |
| For the Oracle Autonomous Database (cloud) the "sqlnet.ora" file also needs to be updated, see below: | |
