Where can one get ODBC drivers for Oracle and Rdb?

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2005-11-09 13:50.

Oracle's ODBC drivers can be downloaded free of charge from Oracle Technet. Easysoft also provides a free ODBC driver - get it from www.easysoft.com.

If you are still using Oracle V6, you can use the ODBC driver that comes with Microsoft Access 1.1 or an equivalent driver from whatever source.

Since ODBC is a standard, there are alternative drivers available via other vendors. The following vendors provide ODBC drivers that can run from Windows and Unix:

Note: If you plan to use a 16-bit application with ODBC (even if it is running on Windows95 or Windows NT), you will need to use a 16-bit Windows 3.1 ODBC driver.

    Easysoft only provide a free Oracle ODBC driver for Windows.
    You can purchase ODBC drivers for Oracle on all other platforms Oracle support OCI on from http://www.easysoft.com.
    Perhaps you could correct your FAQ "Where can one get ODBC drivers for Oracle and Rdb?" as it is driving people to our site looking for free AIX/Solaris/HPUX etc ODBC drivers when we only provide a free Windows ODBC driver for Oracle.
