I am not used to Oracle, sorry. I need the client tool to access someone

went to:

and I downloaded the "SQL Plus Instant Client". I just want a free client
because I don't own the Oracle license. I downloaded it, but there are
just DLLs and 2 JAR files. I don't see any SETUP.EXE file to start the
install. What am I missing? How do I get a free Oracle client installed,
if possible, so I can test some SQL statements.

There isn't a setup.exe. Instant Client is fairly developer-oriented; the
general idea is that it can be bundled into the installer of apps that need a
client.

The installation instructions are at the bottom of:


http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html

... which basically consist of adding the directory you unzip the files into
the PATH environment variable (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Unix).

You need at least the "Basic" package for the client, and then the "SQL*Plus"
package unzipped into the same directory.
