CentOS linux下安装Oracle客户端

1.下载以下包，但是需要一个oracle的OTN的注册帐号（免费）：
到oracle官网下载(需要账号)：http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
然后把该两包放到CentOS一个任意目录，比如 ~/tmp，以下过程我都用root帐号/

2.安装该包：
#rpm -ivh ~/tmp/oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
#rpm -ivh ~/tmp/oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
#vi /etc/profile   修改环境变量加入

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib      #对于64位版本可能是client64
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2
export TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/network/admin
export NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8" 
export PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PATH:

重启一下环境变量，或者用户logout/login一次
#source /etc/profile

3.测试一下：
#sqlplus /nolog  系统报错
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

4.然后需要：
#vi /etc/ld.so.conf 加入
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib/
#/sbin/ldconfig

这样重新运行
# sqlplus /nolog

SQL>
成功了

5.如需要连接远程oracle，必须配置TNS
#mkdir -p /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/network/admin
#vi /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
加入一个Oracle数据库tns信息

PRODB2 =
    (DESCRIPTION =
            (ADDRESS_LIST =
                    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.3.103.1)(PORT = 1521))
            )
            (CONNECT_DATA =
                    (SERVER=DEDICATED)
                    (SID = PRODB2)
            )
    )

测试一下    
#sqlplus myOracleUsername/password@PRODB2
