Before You Connect
Before You Connect
To connect to Oracle, you must first update the appropriate environment variable. This variable must contain a folder location that includes the Oracle OCI Library assemblies, which are shipped alongside the connector.The correct environment variable depends upon your platform:
- Windows: The native libraries should be on your PATH.
- Mac: The native libraries should be on your DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Linux: The native libraries should be on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
These native libraries can be found in the lib folder inside the installation directory of the connector.
Note for Linux Users
The Linux Oracle OCI libraries used by the connector have additional required dependencies on the AIO and libgcc libraries.
- Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libaio1 apt-get install libc6 libstdc++6 zlib1g libgcc1
- RHEL/Fedora:
sudo yum install libaio yum install glibc libstdc++ zlib libgcc
