Hello all,

Although DBI is great, is there some other sort of DBD module that can
connect to an Oracle database without needing to install Oracle's pile
of steaming code? I'd like something considerably lighter weight than
the 250MB client. Surely there must be some sort of reverse-engineered
Oracle client?

Thanks
Joe
