I have to access oracle database on a system, but there is no oracle software installed on a system.
There is only Toad.
How can I access database through Toad. Please Help.
Both systems are in network.

Thanks

You mean to access a remote database?

Quote:
The remote computer must have Oracle client software installed. It is through Oracle client software that Oracle command-line utilities (and your applications) connect to the database.

As TOAD is already installed, you'll have to establish connection to a database.

As far as I can tell, TOAD requires (at least) Oracle (instant) client in order to run. Therefore, modify TNSNAMES.ORA files and put a database (you'd want to connect to) into that TNSNAMES.ORA. Doing so, TOAD will recognize it and offer the database in TNS tab's select list item in its login window.

Alternatively, use "Direct" tab which enables you to manually insert all those information. That option is OK if you use it once or twice, but you might get tired if you use it all the time.

I never used LDAP option.

If there is no oracle client installed, then you cannot access the database. Period. Full stop. It's the oracle client libraries that enable ANY front-end tool, (for example, Toad) to access the database.

As suggested, download and configure Instant Client and get back to us.

Except when client uses JDBC:thin like client below

http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/

then no Oracle client libraries are required

But doesn't that just mean the product is bundled with the necessary jar files, which themselves encapsulate the necessary oracle-specific libraries?

I'd say that with certain products it may not be necessary to do a separate install of an oracle client, but ultimately some form of an oracle client is going to be necessary.

find $ORACLE_HOME -name \*jdbc\*jar -ls

Every Oracle version I have seen includes necessary jar file which can be used in CLASSPATH

Which assumes that a client/database has been installed.
