TDM Oracle Database Tips

Environment:

  • TDM 2018+
  • Oracle 19c
  • Windows10/11

Tips:

  • Do NOT change ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
    • Some document was said to change AUTH… to (none). Do NOT change and keep it as (NTS) in Windows10/11, or it might cause some problem during DB creation and startup.
  • Avoid to install both Oracle DB Server and Client in same machine(Standalone)
  • Old TDM version(2018 or early) may still need 32bit Oracle Client. test.udl file can only verify 64bit, NOT 32bit OLE DB component.
  • Newer TDM version does not need TNSName anymore
  • SQL to check Database character(Unicode/non-Unicode)
