Default How to remove Oracle 11g Instant Client Driver? - 10-01-2010 , 02:30 PM






Hi Everyone, Ive installed Oracle 11g R 2 Intant Client but I need to
remove because there is the Oracle 10g R2 driver installed I could
use.

To keep the server clear, can i delete the folder directly? I dont
think so, because in the data sources panel, drivers list, there are
Oracle 10g and 11g but Id like to perform an correct uninstall.
is it possible?

I tried to executed the installed file, but there is not any option to
remove, ust installing again.

Thank you!

In the place you downloaded the client there is a download to remove
this release something like "win32_11gR2_deinstall.zip".

I assume that you are talking about some PC based OS. You didn't specify,
but all PC based OS-es support "fdisk" command. So, run "fdisk" on the
disk of your choice and first see what partitions you have with "p". The
output should look something like this:
Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9c879c87

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 9053 72718191 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 9054 19458 83578162+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 ? 258652 301896 347364093 31 Unknown


When done, execute "d <num>" for each number in the "Id" column.
That ought to rid you of those pesky instant client executables from any
of the PC based OS-es. I am not really sure whether OS/X supports fdisk,
since they don't give you the root password, but a bootable DOS USB drive
with fdisk.exe on it can fix that for you.

For a more fine-grained approach, you should supply more data.

I do not use the instant client but won't the 11g instant cleint
connect to a 10g database? I have an 11g Oracle client for Winddows
2008 R2 and use it to access 9.2

What makes you think that he's talking about Windows?
