Oracle Database Driver Changes…again

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In 12.1.1 we introduced a new Oracle driver, there was a problem with this causing the requirement to be a bit too narrow and we needed the exact version of Oracle that the application was built against.

This has now been rectified and the requirement is as specified for 12.1.2:
– Oracle Data Provider for .NET (.NET 4)
– Oracle Provider for OLE DB

This means that any Oracle Client is supported as long as these components are included, the main limitation posed by this is that Oracle Data Provider for .NET is only included as a .NET 4 version from Oracle Client (or ODAC) 11.2.0.3 making this is the lowest version that we can support.

Lowest possible version for Oracle Client is 11.2.0.3.

Don’t hesitate to contact support if there are any questions regarding this driver change.

12.1.1 Changed Database Driver

/0 Comments/in , /by

The used Oracle driver has been changed, in 12.1 there was a requirement for “Oracle Managed Data Provider for .NET”. This requirement has been lifted and we no longer install this client with the installation program. Instead we use “Oracle Data Provider for .NET” which is a separate prerequisite install which replaces the need for any other Oracle client.

The components needed from the “Oracle Data Provider for .NET” installation are
– Oracle Data Provider for .NET
– Oracle Provider for OLE DB
