Oracle Instant Client ODBC
--------------------------

Oracle Instant Client ODBC for Unix systems complies with ODBC 3.52
specifications. It is based on the features of Oracle client, without the need
for a traditional ORACLE_HOME installation.

Note: See Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for information on OCI
Instant Client.

Pre-requisite:
-------------
Instant Client ODBC depends on the Oracle Instant Client Basic or Basic Light
package from OTN. For details on installing the Oracle Instant Client Basic or
Basic Light packages, refer to the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide.

Installing Instant Client ODBC
------------------------------
1. Install the Instant Client Basic or Basic Light package.

2. Unzip the Instant Client ODBC package.
   ODBC Instant Client package has the following files/shared libraries:
