Use Oracle with Instant client (thick mode)

If you are Oracle database user and you would like to use Oracle instant client (thick mode) instead of thin mode (pure JS NPM package), please make the following:

• Download Oracle instant client - https://www.oracle.com/cz/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html
• Unpack it somewhere (og. /opt/oracle in Linux systems)
• Configure ORACLE_INSTANT_CLIENT variable - should contain directory name of unpacked Instant client

If you don't know, whether you will need Instance client, please use this table of features, which are supported only in thick mode (with instant client). Eg. thin mode works from Oracle 12, if you have older Oracle server, you will need to install Oracle Instant client.

Other dbgate packages

You can use some functionality of dbgate from your JavaScript code. See dbgate-api package.
