Description

There are a couple of options to install Oracle client on a machine to access from Statistica. Install Oracle client that matches the bit-width of your Statistica installation (64 bit drivers for 64 bit Statistica and 32-bit Oracle for 32-bit Statistica). Note SDMS is a 32-bit application and it would need the 32-bit version of Oracle for the same.
