Installing the Oracle Instant Client

The Simba Oracle ODBC Driver requires Oracle Instant Client 19.3. If you obtained the connector from the Simba website, then your installation of the connector automatically includes this dependency. Otherwise, you must manually install Oracle Instant Client in the \lib subfolder in the installation directory of the connector.

To install the Oracle Instant Client:

1. In a web browser, navigate to https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html.
2. Download the 19.3 version of the Oracle Instant Client that matches the bitness of your platform. You can use the Basic package or Basic Light package depending upon your disk space.
3. Extract the archive that you downloaded to a temporary location.
4. Copy the files from the temporary location to the \lib subfolder in the installation directory of the connector.
