Question

I have a serious problem with toad oracle client. I got the error message as following when I open toad client (installed and then opened it):

Error: No valid Oracle clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured

Please do me a favor to give me how to deal with this issue or give me any slim clue.
