I have seen many tutorials but could not find any help. Can we connect Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition (not express. All tutorials are showing express versions) to Java using JDBC drivers? If yes what do we need to download and how to connect. There is no Oracle exe folder in my C: drive as shown in many videos. I checked previously asked questions also couldn't find something helpful.

I am trying to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015 so that I can connect to a remote 11g database from SSRS/Visual Studio Projects in general, from my dev machine. When I go to the downloads page, I see this:
So I went to Visual Studio to determine whether I already had ODT, and found this:
However, I don't think I installed this ODP, and it just came with the Visual Studio installation. Is there a way to uninstall this provider, or am I OK to just install the new ODT over top? Lastly, as I did more research for this post I became a little more unsure: does ODAC include ODP.net?
Thanks.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle are providers from Microsoft, i.e. they are part of your Windows installation.
Indeed, they are deprecated from many years, however there is no reason to remove them. They are just two little DLL's.
It is no problem to install Oracle Provider for OLE DB and Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) from Oracle, the drivers from Oracle and the drivers from Microsoft do not interfere with each other.
Yes, ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) is a collection of various drivers, ODP.NET, OLE DB, ODBC and a few more.
Just a note, unless you use the ODP.NET Managed Driver all drivers mentioned above require an Oracle Client installation, typically an Oracle Instant Client. I think the Oracle Instant Client is also included in the ODAC package.
Maybe have a look at this post to get a little overview: How to connect to Oracle 11 database from . net
I'm trying to connect to Oracle 9i database from my machine (Windows 7 x64) using Microsoft's tool SSMA for Oracle v7.6.0 but getting the following error :
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
A quick search on the Internet shows that this error message is quite generic accross Microsoft products which can connect to Oracle databases. I have no idea which Oracle software should I install, and how to configure SSMA so as to be able to use it.
How can I solve this issue ?
I had to connect my Oracle 10g XE (10.2.0.1) with Visual Studio 2012.
Since I found that 10g is not compatible now, so I want to migrate it to higher version - 12c.
I have successfully installed Oracle 12c Enterprise Edition, but it's upgrade assistant says that you have to upgrade your 10g (10.2.0.1) to the version 10.2.0.5, then DB can be migrated to 12c.
Question: How to upgrade Oracle 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5 ?
I couldn't find the patch links from internet, I have searched a lot on the internet but didn't not get an amazing solution that resolves my problem in one shot.
This message is an error in the installer. It is applicable to other editions of Oracle (for example to a Standard Edition) but XE does not have such version as 10.2.0.5. Even with an Oracle support contract paid, there is simply no such version on metalink. You need to export-import like described in this question.
You need a metalink account to download this patch (legally); it's probably easier to export the database and import it into a fresh 12c instance.
Are there any places where I could download Oracle 10g Express Edition for CentOS 6.2 64bit environment? I have searched in Oracle official website but I couldn't find a distro. Also I have googled for answers but couldn't find an appropriate one. So, it is much appreciated if anyone could assist me on this please.
According to the Oracle download website, 10g is no longer available, but you can request it using My Oracle Support if you own a valid database license. Unless you explicitly need 10g (e.g. to setup a test environment for supporting a legacy installation), I'd go for 12c instead.
In summary, you have two options:
use 12c Express Edition / 11g Express Edition instead
contact Oracle support to get 10g Express Edition
I installed
ODAC 11.2 Release 3 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.2.1)
from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html
but i still do not see Oracle driver in the ODBC Manager... please help.
i checked the ODBC Drivers in the Registry, and only found SQL there... maybe i downloaded the wrong thing? someone please point me in the right direction.
Call "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" from the start/run box or from the command prompt, so
the drivers are more likely to appear. I´ve been through similar problems with Oracle Instant Client (basic and ODBC) 32-bit driver not appearing at the ODBC Admin Window. I was able to configure a Data Source to Oracle 11g Express by calling "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" this way.
Regards.
I can't access the page you referenced to read about it, but to install the Oracle ODBC driver you can install the Oracle Instant Client. This page gives some good instructions on how to do it. Once the instant client is installed, the Oracle ODBC driver should show in the ODBC Manager. Note that you do not need a full client install to use the ODBC driver.
Run cmd with elevated privileges to install odbc_install.exe.
