[mapguide-users] ODBC/Oracle connection on Linux withEasysoftdriver

[Robert Fortin]

Tony,

The ODBC driver is included in a separate package from the instant
client.  It is available as free download at this location
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/
linuxsoft.html

In general, later Oracle client can connect to previously released
version of the server. We didn't see any issue with running this driver
a/g 10gR1 or R2 on Windows. I assume no issue on Linux too.

Of course, the Easysoft driver would become obsolete for your test too.

Hi Robert:

In QA, Easysoft driver is used to test the ODBC-Oracle connection in
Linux in Tux SP1 for Oracle 10gR1 DB.

Questions: 
Can 10gR2 native ODBC driver connect to 10gR1 and older version of
oracle DB?

Also, is this 10gR2 native ODBC driver in both the full client and the
instant client?

Thanks
TT

(If you are not connecting to Oracle through the FDO provider for ODBC
on Linux, you can ignore this email.)

The FDO provider for ODBC can connect to Oracle using an Easysoft
driver. Since 10gR2, Oracle introduced a native ODBC driver which makes
the requirement to use the Easysoft driver obsolete.  We are considering
dropping support for the Easysoft driver.

If you are using Easysoft, can you please let me know.

Thanks!
