Install Oracle Client on Fedora 42

Ask Fedora
1

All;

I am working with a client on a conversion from Oracle to PostgreSQL, I setup a Fedora 42 VM, installed the needed packages for PostgreSQL so I can access the client’s PostgreSQL servers, then I installed the oracle instant client via RPM packages via this page:

and then found that the Oracle packages had disabled my network access and I could no longer reach the PostgreSQL servers.

Can someone help me with a simple way to install the Oracle client only without clobbering my network ?

Thanks in advance

This doesn’t make a ton of sense, can you share more details?

I also suggest maybe just using a tool like dbeaver which can help you connect to most databases. It’s available in the software center if you have flathub enabled.
