The Oracle ODBC Drivers require Oracle Client be installed on the client workstation, because it requires access to Net8 locally. (The Oracle ODBC is really InterSolv's ODBC renamed for marketing reasons.) You'll have to find other vendors of Oracle ODBC software and ask them if Oracle client is required locally.

You NEED the Oracle client in the machine, no matter what. ODBC driver is 1 layer on top of the client, which uses the Oracle client to connect to the DB.

Though, there are some programs that uses only the native Oracle client to connect.

Later.
