Question

I am attempting to use a 32 bit application to talk to an Oracle database from Vista 64 bit (Embarcadero RapidSQL). I already have the Oracle 11g 64 bit client installed for the web apps I develop, but because RapidSQL is a 32 bit application, it requires a 32 bit version of the Oracle client.

Is it safe to simply install the 32 bit Oracle client libraries in addition to the 64 bit ones, and if so are there any tips, tricks or gotchas I should be wary of when doing so?

Was it helpful?

Solution

As long as you install them in a different ORACLE_HOME, it should be fine.
