RE: ORACLE DRIVER

Hi Paul,
The thing is that I'm using in a Linux machine.
So I require an ODBC driver right?
So is there any free Oracle ODBC driver for Linux?
What I could gather was I should use Easysoft Oracle ODBC and unixODBC
manager
UnixODBC is a freeware but couldn't find any free Oracle Drivers.
Also if kindly suggest if there is any other alternative.

Thanks

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
