Oracle has high requirements on computer configuration, making it even worse for antique machines. My laptop was bought four years ago, with 512 memory and a Pentium m cpu. Now I can only run some lightweight software. After collecting information on the Internet, Oracle provides a lite client to take care of Low-configuration computers.
Oracle 10.2 perfectly streamlined client:

After installation, you can directly run it in the program to access the Oracle database of the remote server. If you want to use Toad to connect to a remote server, you need to modify the configuration:
"Start" --> "program" --> "Oracle Instant Client 10.2" --> "tnsnames. ora configuration" to add a connection (alias) to the remote server ). The format is as follows: (change the IP address and Oracle service name)
Code
MyOraServer =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 202.204.203.126) (PORT = 1521 ))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)
Now, open Toad, select MyOraServer, and enter the user name and password to go to the Oracle database ~
Although this Lite version client is small, the only drawback is: if the program is in IIS, it will still prompt that the oracle client cannot be found (the iis built in vs2005 is no problem), so it is more suitable for CS mode.
