with this , it is portable, no need to administrator to modify sqlnet.ora on windows platform (commonly, in my environment). and not like instantclient, I need to asseble library files and sqlplus.exe into same directory.
Only 3 files after download, for linux, windows platform respectively. but requires JRE.
If no JRE installed, download it , and add %JAVA_HOME%/bin to %PATH% variable (for windows platform)
it supports ezconnect too. This is it.
