Question

Oracle, says that there are some demo/sample programs for OCI.

In my case I'd like to find examples of using OCIConnectionPoolCreate(). There should be in a file called cdemocp.c, according to the documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/ociabdem.htm

But its far from clear what I should install to get these files? I would have hoped I could download them from Oracle's own website. Seems not. Certainly no handy link from the above page.

I have a tried installing (onto windows):

  • An Oracle 10g XE database server, no such source files
  • Oracle client (sdk options on), no such source files
  • searched within our linux installations -- where did I find the fabled \rdbms\demo\ folder which contains a few make files referring to the demo source files, the but no source files. So running these makefiles fails.

Basically, no luck finding them.

If I google for cdemocp.c I find only:

  • the typical multiple copies of Oracle's own documentation
  • other people saying they cant find it.

( I finding using oracle's documentation is like lord of the rings, only a faint connection with reality, and probably too many words. I'm not enjoying it. )

Was it helpful?

Solution

OK found the OCI demo files. It was a serious pain to find them.

From Oracle, get some "Companion Disk". Such as:

"Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2" : 102010_win64_x64_companion.zip

For me all the various "Universal" installers I tried crashed, or refused to run. Even when run on the OS they were supposed to be run on. But, having expanded the installer you can just dig out .jar files. These .jar file are really just .zip files with a diffident extension. This file:

102010_win64_x64_companion\companion\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.rdbms.companion\10.2.0.3.0\1\DataFiles\filegroup2.jar

when extracted, contains all the OCI demo files I wanted under rdbms/demo/. Voilà.

( I list them here so anyone googling for them might find this page. )

OTHER TIPS

Update from above since some links changed

First download:

http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/R2/linux.x64_11gR2_examples.zip

Then if you have 7zip on windows you can drill down to the zip and jar file like this:

Downloads\linux.x64_11gR2_examples.zip\examples\stage\Components\oracle.rdbms.companion\11.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\filegroup2.jar\rdbms\demo\

After struggling to find the OCI sample programs for Oracle 12 on Windows, I found them here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/database12c-win64-download-2297732.html

You need to log onto oracle and on the windows item, click "see all"
