working out which provider i have working

  • hi

    this sounds a bit strange...but i have connection working fine in my SSIS package, but i want to figure out what provider i have working...

    i open it up and it's native OLE DB\Oracle Provider for OLE DB

    now...i have a few versions of Oracle installed 10 and 11 and 32 and 64 bit, how do i check which one the provider is from??

  • Check the properties of the connection manager. There is a property ConnectionString. Look into that one, it normally has the provider listed.

  • yep

    Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1

    how do i know if that's Oracle 10,11 - 32 or 64 bit?

    how do i go from the provider name to the DLL path?

    Doesn't the provider work on all the versions of Oracle? So it doesn't really matter if it is 10 or 11, 32 or 64 bit?

    Here is more information about the provider:
