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

  • RPM (Oracle Linux 9): oracle-instantclient19.27-devel-19.27.0.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
  • RPM (Oracle Linux 8): oracle-instantclient19.27-devel-19.27.0.0.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
  • RPM (Oracle Linux 7): oracle-instantclient19.27-devel-19.27.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • Zip file: instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-19.27.0.0.0dbru.zip

For Linux for Arm (aarch64)

  • RPM: oracle-instantclient19.27-devel-19.27.0.0.0-1.el8.aarch64.rpm
  • Zip file: instantclient-sdk-linux.arm64-19.27.0.0.0dbru.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_19_27 directory must be in the runtime library search path, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before linking the application.
