How To Investigate An Error When Using A Wire Protocol ODBC Driver With An Oracle Database (文档 ID 1355038.1)

知识点如下：

NOTE:  Oracle Client Software does not contain a Wire Protocol ODBC Driver, only a standard Oracle ODBC Driver.  If you are using a Wire Protocol ODBC Driver, it has been obtained from a 3rd party vendor.

Oracle provides two types of Client Software to connect ODBC-based applications to Oracle Databases:

•Oracle Client Software

•Oracle Instant Client (IC) Software

Wire Protocol Drivers do not use either type of Client Software.  Wire Protocol Drivers must write their own light-weight thin Oracle Client as part of the driver (similar to a JDBC Thin driver).  Hence, the driver is also the client software.  Therefore, Oracle Support cannot investigate, trace, trouble-shoot or fix anything related to the client-side of the issue as none of the software residing on the client (application or driver with light-weight thin client) was written by Oracle.
