DBX Error in Delphi Berlin 64bit compiler: Driver could not be properly initialized. When connecting to a Oracle 12c DB Server

I got the stopper error below in my apps. I used Delphi Berlin 64bit compiler. And also used the dbxora.dll as dbxpress driver default from embarcadero. Connected to Oracle 12c DB server using TSQLConnection component.

DBX Error: Driver could not be properly initialized. Client library may be missing, not installed properly, of the wrong version, or the driver may be missing from the system path.

How can I fix this?

A DB Express driver is not always sufficient on it's own to connect to some data sources. For certain data sources (most of them in fact) you also require the client drivers for that data source, usually provided by the database vendor themselves.

Oracle is one of these.

As well as the DB Express driver you also need to install the Oracle Client software provided by Oracle. You also need to ensure that you install the correct version.

i.e. in your case since you indicate you are building a 64-bit application then you will need the 64-bit Oracle client.

If you (or your intended users) already have the 32-bit Oracle client installed then you might consider building your application as a 32-bit application instead, unless you absolutely need 64-bit capabilities.
