Re: ORACLE DRIVER

Hi Cyril,

Oracle's own Instant Client kit should meet your needs. It is free,
even for production use.

I presume you are running under Windows, so see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
The main Instant Client site is at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html

Instant Client for Windows includes an ODBC driver, but if you are
using DBI you would probably benefit from using the native Oracle DBD
(and the Instant Client kit includes the necessary OCI support).

Regards,
Paul
