Your system documentation should provide information on the software you need.
When you access any SQL-based DBMS from Windows, you should always set up your system for ODBC access. With ODBC, if the correct version is properly installed, it should not matter which DBMS it is, or which version of Oracle.
The Oracle version is only important when you are running on a platform that has to perform native direct access to the DBMS, rather than using ODBC.
