Oracle is pretty rediculous. They require you to download the entire enterprise
package, just to install the
client software you need. Unfortunately, this is the only way I know to get this
client software. It sucks
especially because recent versions are on the order of 500 megs. But you don't have to
install the whole thing.
You can select to just install client tools.
