How to Install and Use Instant Client for Mac OS X (PPC)
If you are looking for a way to connect to Oracle databases from your Mac OS X (PPC) machine, you may want to try Instant Client. Instant Client is a free software package that provides the basic Oracle client functionality, such as SQL*Plus, OCI, ODBC, and JDBC drivers. Instant Client does not require an Oracle installation or administrator privileges on your Mac. It also supports many Oracle features, such as encryption, compression, Kerberos authentication, and network tracing.
In this article, we will show you how to install and use Instant Client for Mac OS X (PPC). We will assume that you have already downloaded the Instant Client package from the Oracle website. You will need the Basic or Basic Lite package, as well as the SQL*Plus package. You may also download other optional packages, such as ODBC or JDBC, depending on your needs.
Step 1: Unzip the Instant Client files
After downloading the Instant Client zip files, you need to unzip them to a directory of your choice. For example, you can unzip them to /Users/yourname/instantclient_19_8. Make sure that all the files are in the same directory.
Step 2: Set the environment variables
Before using Instant Client, you need to set some environment variables to tell your Mac where to find the Instant Client files and libraries. You can do this by editing your .bash_profile file in your home directory. Add the following lines at the end of the file:
export PATH=/Users/yourname/instantclient_19_8:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/yourname/instantclient_19_8
export TNS_ADMIN=/Users/yourname/instantclient_19_8/network/admin
The first line adds the Instant Client directory to your PATH variable, so that you can run SQL*Plus and other Instant Client tools from any directory. The second line sets the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, which tells your Mac where to find the Instant Client libraries. The third line sets the TNS_ADMIN variable, which tells your Mac where to find the tnsnames.ora file that contains the connection information for your Oracle databases.
After saving the file, you need to reload it by running this command in your terminal:
source /.bash_profile
Step 3: Test SQL*Plus
To test if Instant Client is working properly, you can try to run SQL*Plus and connect to an Oracle database. SQL*Plus is a command-line tool that allows you to execute SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks against an Oracle database. To run SQL*Plus, simply type sqlplus in your terminal. You will see something like this:
SQL*Plus: Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production on Tue Apr 18 23:58:05 2023
Version 19.8.0.0.0
Enter user-name:
You can enter your username and password to connect to an Oracle database. You can also specify the database name or service name after your username, separated by a slash or an at sign. For example:
Enter user-name: scott/tiger@orcl
If you have a tnsnames.ora file in your TNS_ADMIN directory, you can use the alias defined in that file instead of the database name or service name. For example:
Enter user-name: scott/tiger@prod
If everything goes well, you should see something like this:
