Re: Toad for Oracle on Win7x64

 Message from: OlaTunde  Will the 32 bit oracle client run on my 64 bit windows 7?
Yes. However, watch out for the installations directory. If the 
installer tries to put it into "Program Files (x86)" - or whatever it 
is, it won't work from theer. Keep spaces and special characters out of 
the path name.

Yes, no problem. I use a 32 bits Oracle 10 and 11 client on my Windows 7 64 bit
without any problems. 


The only thing, is to be sure that the Oracle 10 client is 10.2 and higher.
There is an issue with older Oracle clients where if there is a parenthesis in
the path name, the program using the client does not work. Toad is a 32 bit
program, so the default directory is c:\program files (x86)\quest..... so Toad
could have a problem with the older Oracle client then 10.2.0.4

2011/11/22 Rex Oni   Thanks Toad is currently
    developed using a 32 bit system, so it is itself, 32 bit. However, Toad
    happily runs on 64 bit Windows. However, because Toad is still 32 bit, you
    will need to ensure that a 32 bit Oracle client exists otherwise you will
    not be able to connect to a database - of any "bitness".
    Regardless of the "bitness" of the actual database, a 32 bit
    client will happily connect. 64 bit Toad is coming - but it's only
    recently that Delphi itself became 64 bit. There are other components used
    in Toad that will need to also be upgraded to 64 bit by their developers
    before Toad itself will be 64 bit. HTH Cheers, Norm. [TeamT] -- Cheers,

 If you have a x64 database already installed on your computer, you don't need to install also Oracle Client.

Anyway, for using Toad, you don't need Oracle Client. You need only Oracle Instant Client.
More information how to configure instant client you found at  http://celemotan.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/instantclient/ 
 

 Thanks
