Oracle's instructions specify setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This makes my application dependent on random users' configuration and is very troublesome to set up.
How can I avoid having to set any environment variables?

回答1:
Oracle's instantclient installation instructions specify that the user set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is very troublesome to manage for multiple users.
To use the instantclient without setting any environment variables:
Download the instantclient distribution from oracle.com. For doing non-java software development, you will need (assuming Oracle 10.2):
instantclient-basic-linux-x86_64-10.2.0.4.0.zip
instantclient-sdk-linux-x86_64-10.2.0.4.0.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux-x86_64-10.2.0.4.0.zip
Unzip the three files. This will give you a directory
instantclient_10_2/
Copy the files to /usr, which is one of the default places the dynamic loader searches.
sudo cp instantclient_10_2/sdk/include/*.h /usr/include
sudo cp instantclient_10_2/sqlplus /usr/bin
sudo cp instantclient_10_2/*.so* /usr/lib
If you use tnsnames.ora, copy it to /etc, which is the default global place the oracle runtime searches.
sudo cp tnsnames.ora /etc
Test with
/usr/bin/sqlplus scott/tiger@myoracle

Add the library path to /etc/ld.so.conf
, then run /sbin/ldconfig
. You don't need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for libraries installed in standard locations like /usr/lib
because these locations are already configured in /etc/ld.so.conf
.

You could of course rename sqlplus to sqlplus.real and make a wrapper script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" = "" ]
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/what/ever
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/what/ever
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec sqlplus.real ${1+"$@"}

Oracle's instructions regarding setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
are suboptimal.
On ELF platforms like Linux or Solaris there is really no need to require setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
because the correct library search path (a.k.a. runpath) can be written into the binary, at build-time, relative to the location of the binary. Thus, with such binaries, the runtime linker is always able to find the packaged libraries, even if the installed subtree is copied around.
Unfortunately, Oracle doesn't create the Linux 'Instant Client' binaries like that. But, it is possible to fix them with patchelf.
For example:
patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN/..' /path/to/instantclient_11_2/sdk/proc
patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN' /path/to/instantclient_11_2/sqlplus
patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN' /path/to/instantclient_11_2/libclntsh.so.11.1
After those changes the runtime linker is able to find all needed libraries without any LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.
On Solaris there is elfedit
- but IIRC at least some Oracle DB packages for Solaris already come with a sufficient runpath. One can verify that via e.g. elfdump /path/to/sqlplus | grep PATH
.
For more details on elfedit
and other good alternatives to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(that don't involve changing the binary itself) see also my article LD_LIBRARY_PATH considered harmful.
回答5:
or you can try using this command
Linux
sqlplus user/pass@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=port_number)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))'
Windows
sqlplus user/pass@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=port_number)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))"
so you don't need the tnsnames.ora

For anyone playing with Solaris (like me!) coming from a Linux background, I found that @David Phillips solution worked well using the Solaris command crle -u -l /opt/instantclient
