Has anyone heard whether Oracle will support the 10G client Windows 7? I am forced (very unwilling since I started out on SQL Server) to deal with Oracle dev every day and since 7 is “just a polished Vista” (I feel it is far superior and I’ve been using Vista since RTM) the theory is that it will work fine.
Also, if this is the wrong place to ask this please let me know. Since it’s dev-releated, I didn’t think it belonged on ServerFault.
I’ve got it working (10.2.0.4) on Windows 7! Following the recommendations from this blog post I changed the XML and installed the client (10.2.0.3 I believe). To install the patch set for 10.2.0.4 (gives you transactional support on Vista/2008) you run the installer in compatibility mode. While I haven’t had a chance to try the transactional support I’ve at least confirmed the Benthic tool Golden works fine which is further than I’ve ever gotten before.
This was done on Windows 7 x64 – Oracle client is x86 version as they don’t have an x64 of the patch set for transactional support (nor does it exist in some flavors of 11G, however that is possible).
I hope this helps others with the same problem!
