Step 1: Download the SQL*Plus and OCI packages
To install SQL*Plus Instant Client, you need two packages: the SQL*Plus package and the OCI package. You can choose either the Basic OCI package or the Lightweight OCI package, depending on your language and character set requirements. The Basic OCI package supports all character sets and languages available in the Oracle Database, while the Lightweight OCI package supports only English error messages and specific character sets.
You can download the packages from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) [^1^]. The packages are zip files that contain the necessary files for SQL*Plus Instant Client. Make sure you download the packages that match your Oracle Database version, for example, 11.2.0.4.
Step 2: Unzip the packages to a directory
The SQL*Plus Instant Client package should never be installed on an ORACLE_HOME directory. Choose a different directory to unzip the packages, such as C:\\instantclient_11_2. Create the directory if it does not exist. Unzip both the SQL*Plus and OCI packages to the same directory.
Step 3: Set the PATH environment variable
To run SQL*Plus Instant Client, you need to add the directory where you unzipped the packages to your PATH environment variable. You can do this by following these steps:
Open Control Panel and click System.
Click Advanced system settings.
Click Environment Variables.
In the System variables section, select PATH and click Edit.
Add the directory where you unzipped the packages to the beginning of the variable value, followed by a semicolon. For example, C:\\instantclient_11_2;.
Click OK to save the changes.
Step 4: Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable (optional)
If you want to use a tnsnames.ora file to connect to your Oracle Database, you need to set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to the directory where your tnsnames.ora file is located. You can do this by following these steps:
Open Control Panel and click System.
Click Advanced system settings.
Click Environment Variables.
In the System variables section, click New.
Enter TNS_ADMIN as the variable name and enter the directory where your tnsnames.ora file is located as the variable value. For example, C:\\oracle\\network\\admin.
Click OK to save the changes.
Step 5: Test your SQL*Plus Instant Client installation
To test your SQL*Plus Instant Client installation, open a command prompt and enter sqlplus followed by your username, password, and database connection string. For example:
C:\\>sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl
If your installation is successful, you should see something like this:
