WIN8 64-bit connection to Oracle database using PLSQL Developer

Issue: Win8 on a 64-bit system that uses PLSQL developer to connect to a local Oracle database can cause an inexplicable problem, and the error box may even be empty.

Reason: According to the internet, the reason is estimated to install 64-bit Oracle database on 64-bit system, but there is no corresponding 64-bit PL/SQL developer for our use, so we cannot connect directly at this time, we need to install Oracle client.

Solve:

1, download instantclient_11_2 (database version for 10g, 11g can connect), address http://download.csdn.net/detail/zxnlmj/8063243

2. Place the Instantclient_11_2 folder in the compressed package downloaded in 1 into the product directory under Oracle's installation directory, The Oracle client configuration variable in the compressed package. txt The file does not need to be configured in this case (requires configuration when connecting to remote Oracle)

3, configure environment variables (for example) oracle_home=d:\programfile\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1,

Path=d:\programfile\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin,

Nls_lang = Simplified Chinese. ZHS16GBK.

4, modify Plsql developer-"Cancel Landing-" tools-"preferences-" oracle-"Connection"

Oracle_home=d:\programfile\oracle\product\instantclient_11_2

OCI Library = D:\ProgramFile\oracle\product\instantclient_11_2\oci.dll

Application, exit and re-login.

Ok.
