Does Windows have anything like LD_LIBRARY_PATH/SHLIB_PATH?
Yes and no. Windows uses PATH both for finding execuables and for
finding DLLs. So if there's a DLL Windows cannot find, you need to
add the folder containing that DLL to your PATH variable.
No, isn't that only if I have an actual Oracle client installed (not
the instant client)?
Whether you use the instant client or an actual Oracle client is not
the issue. You may or may not need LD_LIBRARY_PATH either way.
When you import cx_Oracle on Linux, it loads a file named cx_Oracle.so
which in turn loads two files named libclntsh.so and libnnz10.so.
These two files are part of the Oracle client installation. The dynamic
loader has a list of directories where it tries to find these files;
if they aren't there, then the import of cx_Oracle will fail. In that
case, you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing them
(or talk your sysadmin into adding this directory to the default path.
He'd do that by adding the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and running
ldconfig).
Hope this helps,
