I have installed Oracle 10g and now want to install 11g also...How can I do it?.. I know that ORACLE_HOME environment variable need to be configured for each "oracle"..
Can you describe me steps how to do this?
Thank you very much in previous.
Thank you It helped me so much...
The most important is that I should have chosen %ORACLE_HOME% like %ORACLE_BASE%...
Just %ORACLE_BASE% should be the same...And it works.
There's ususally not a lot of reasons why Oracle databases of different versions cannot run on the same machine, be it Windows or Linux/Unix. Reasons can be if you run Clustering software, which may not be of a lower version than any database version involved. Similar with Oracle Grid or Cloud. Other than that, I can't really think of reasons, but there may be excpetions, linked to specific OS. Usage of ORACLE_HOME's is how Oracle manages different databases and versions. The Oracle Homes should be different for each database, the Oracle Base should be the same, the central inventory must be shared, and the ownership (of Oracle Homes) may be shared or separated. Sharing Oracle Home is an option for advanced users only.

I am trying to connect to a client's DB2 v7.2 database in Linux.
I am pretty new to DB2 and could not find 7.2 odbc driver in IBM site. The earliest is 9.1 odbc driver. Is this compatible with v7.2 ?
IBM does not make such old legacy drivers publicly available, for good reasons.
Genuine IBM customers always have a way to acquire legacy drivers however, although this is wholly dependent on who you know.
The v9.1 ODBC driver might have trouble accessing v7.2. It rather depends on which fixpacks are deployed (client and server), which operating-system (for client), and what authorization level you have for the target instance, and what rights you have at the workstation end, apart from the level of competence needed. This is not work for beginners.
Keep in mind that legacy drivers may not be able to install on modern workstation operating-system versions (for example , they might need the workstation operating system to be also a legacy version).
Another approach is to have a detailed understanding of exactly how (with which versions and tools) the client currently connects to that legacy database, and then seek to emulate that mix of versions, possibly by cloning.
This is not a programming question so stackoverflow may not be the correct forum. There are IBM specific forums run by IBM which may help.
Currently we are using microstrategy as a reporting tool 11.1 version and using Oracle DB - micro strategy metadata, Statistics , history all installed in Oracle
now we are planning to move Db from Oracle to Postgres. just wanted to check if microstrategy support Potgres DB
Here is the list of certified and supported versions: Repositories
From personal experience I can say PostgreSQL v9,v10 and v11 runs fine as metadata repository. Tested v9-v12 as DWH too, all working without problems.
As far as I remember they didn't deliver the bundled driver in one of the MSTR-versions (2019-something), but that seems to have changed in MSTR-2020 again. Not a showstopper, but something to be aware of.
I am also running PG-11 as repo for History List too, but you definitely won't get help from support for this. OT: They even made me switch from MariaDB to MySQL for a support case (don't really blame them though, it's not certified and that's that).
My last attempt at running Statistics-Repo with PG is a long while ago and it didn't really work out of the box. Don't know what the situation is there. You might have to consider moving to PlatformAnalytics and/or MySQL(/MariaDB) for this too. EM only receives bugfixes from MSTR-2020 onwards, so this seems to be future-proof (EM discontinued from 2020 onwards?)
This mostly reflects our experience, the only certified PG version for MSTR 11.1 is PG-9 and only for the MD-Repo!
I am using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on windows.

It is not possible to install multiple instances on Express Edition.

I am having Oracle 10g installed on my laptop and have downloaded ojdbc14.jar driver for the same. The problem is, my operating system is Windows 7, and I'm not having option to create a Data Source for Oracle since I m not having oracles driver installed. I m having option to create a Data Source for SQL server 6, but I want to get connected to Oracle. Please Help.
By 'Data Sources', I'm guessing that you mean Data Sources (ODBC), under Control Panel > Administrative Tools. Is this correct?
I've set up ODBC Data Sources that connect to Oracle databases before, but to do that I've needed the Oracle client to be installed. However, if you're having the full database installed on your laptop (as your question suggests), you won't need the client - that's only used to connect to databases running on other machines. I believe the full database contains everything in the client, so you should be able to set up an ODBC Data Source pointing to the database on your laptop once the database has been installed.
The ojdbc14.jar just contains the JDBC classes to talk to an Oracle database, and only programs written in Java (and other languages that run on the JVM such as Scala, Groovy or Clojure) can use it. This jar on its own not enough to be able to set up an ODBC data source.
Oracle currently has 1 version that is certified for windows 7. That version is 11.2. They have indicated that they plan to certify 10.2.0.5 if this happens there will likely be a patch that will be needed.
This is probably why the Data Source does not work, either ODBC or OLEDB.
Another possibility is that you have installed the 32bit version of Oracle and your OS is 64bit then you would need to use the 32bit Data Source administrative tools.
I have figured out the solution for my problem. All that I needed to do is put ojdbc14.jar file in my class path and then I was able to use it. Though by doing so, I needed to make some change in the code. I was no more able to use Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver") instead I needed to use Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver") also instead of using my data source as "jdbc:odbc:somename" I needed to use jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:xe.
I'm in need of a functional OleDB data provider for PostgreSQL. It should be similar to the ODBC provider for MySQL. See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html
The postgres software catalog has some providers on there.
dotConnect for PostgreSQL (from Devart) offers a pretty good one. It is fast and works. The free version will give you your basic ADO.net support, the pay offers everything else. ODBC doesn't have a free version.

edit
Adding the direct link to the ODBC connector as it is on a separate page.

If you want to check the last version of ODBC for PosgreSQL :
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/
Enter in the "msi" folder for the installer.
But be careful, when you are using ODBC, there is a 32bits and a 64bits version. So choose the right one.
