About the Oracle Instant Client SDK

Learn about the Software Development Kit (SDK) development tools for Oracle Instant Client.

The SDK is a set of development tools that you can use to create applications for Oracle Instant Client. The SDK is available for download as an RPM or a zip file for Oracle Linux x86-64 and Arm platforms. Here are some examples of these RPM and zip files:

For Linux x86-64 (Oracle Linux 8)

• RPM: oracle-instantclient-devel-23.4.0.24.05-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
• Zip file: instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-23.4.0.24.05.zip

For Linux x86-64 (Oracle Linux 9)

• RPM: oracle-instantclient-devel-23.4.0.24.05-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
• Zip file: instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-23.4.0.24.05.zip

For Linux for Arm (aarch64)

• RPM: oracle-instantclient-devel-23.7.0.25.01-1.el8.aarch64.rpm
• Zip file: instantclient-sdk-linux.arm64-23.7.0.25.01.zip

The SDK contains the following:

• Both C and C++ header files and a makefile for developing OCI and OCCI applications while in an Oracle Instant Client environment. Developed applications can be deployed in any client environment.
• Both C and C++ demonstration programs.
• The Object Type Translator (OTT) utility and its classes to generate application header files.
• On Linux, the demo.mk makefile is included to build demos. For example, the instantclient_23_7 directory must be in the runtime library search path, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before linking the application.
