Iv. Plsql Connecting Oracle Issues Summary:
Plsql Developer Connecting a 64-bit Oracle database requires two things to find:
1, 32-bit Oci.dll file
Because the Plsql Developer is 32-bit software, when accessing the Oracle 11g 64-bit database, it is necessary to go through the 32-bit oci.dll this middleman to communicate with the 64-bit Oracle database first. Therefore, when you access a 64-bit Oracle database in Plsql Developer, you must be able to find a 32-bit Oci.dll file location. There are two ways to get 32-bit oci.dll, one is to install a 32-bit Oracle 11g client, and the other is to download a simple installation package that contains 32-bit oci.dll directly from the network. So if you install a 64-bit client, using Plsql is not connected to the database. That is, if you are installing 64-bit Oracle, you must install a 32-bit Oracle client if you are using Plsql.
2. Oracle_home directory (i.e. ORACLE home directory)
