Environment: Workstation PC running Windows 7
Oracle Client Version: 11.2.0.3
AutoCAD 2012
Does anyone know how AutoCAD detects Oracle ODBC drivers on a Windows 7 PC?
Is it detected during installation (and stored) or is it dynamic based on a Registry Key or other source file?
Does the Oracle Client need to be installed prior to AutoCAD?
Is the information then stored in an AutoCAD related Registry Key?
Currently, Oracle Client 11.2.0.3 is installed on the PC -- the Windows OS detects the ODBC drivers -- it shows up in the ODBC Data Source Administrator under the "Drivers" tab.
When trying to configure a data source in AutoCAD, the Oracle Provider for OLE DB is not shown as an option for selection in AutoCAD Data Link Properties window.
Thank you.
