How create an ODBC to connect Oracle's DB

1) Download Oracle Instant client from Oracle page

    a) first the "Basic Instant Client Package"
     b) then the "ODBC 
Instant Client Package"

2) Unzip the Basic package in a folder such as "c:\InstantClient"

3) Copy the files contained in the ODBC package in the folder created  previously.

4) Execute the file odbc_install.exe

5) Create in the Instant client folder the file tnsnames.ora and follow the below format:

servicename

  (DESCRIPTION = 
    (ADDRESS_LIST = 
      (ADDRESS = 
        (PROTOCOL = TCP)
        (HOST = serverip)
        (PORT = serverport)
      )
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = 
      (SID = sidname)
    )
  )


6) Add the directory to the PATH system environment variable

7) Define the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point the tnsnames.ora file.

8) Now it's possible creating a odbc 

ODBC to connect Oracle DB - select "Control Panel" from Start Menù
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - select "System and Security" in the Control Panel
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - select "Administration Tools"
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - select "Data Sources (ODBC)"
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - Add a new odbc in System  DSN
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - Select Oracle's driver
ODBC to connect Oracle DB - Select the TNS Service Name configurated  in the tnsnames.ora

That's all
