May 02, 2014 Only the base DB and client versions are available for public download. If you have a support contract contact Oracle and request a download link for the Windows client that matches your new 11.2.0.3.0 patch release. If you do decide to just download your own client then just download.
We're moving from database version 10.2 to 11.2.0.3.0. We're using 32 bit 10201 client (10201_client_win32.zip). The client seems to work with 11g.
I've a new machine, Win 7 64 bit. I want to download the appropriate client for 64 bit and version 11.
I believe that a version 11 client should be backward compatible to a 10 database, is that correct?
And.. where do I find the download for the client? I've found links, such as http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle11g/win64_11gR1_client.zip, in this forum, but they seem to be dead.
I've found 'Instant Client', but I don't think that's what I'm seeking.
I did a search from the Instant Client download page, for win64_11gR2_client.zip and found page which Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x64) , which includes a reference to 'Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)', which download file is win64_11gR2_client.zip.
Does that seem to be the 64 bit, version 11.2 replacement for 32 bit, version 10.2 client 10201_client_win32.zip?
