Re: ORACLE DRIVER

Not sure I understand why you need ODBC Cyril. What program/client are
you connecting with?

I assumed it was some perl DBI script given the mailing list this is
on. If that is the case, I'd point you again to the native Oracle DBD
+ Instant Client (for Linux). ODBC not required.

Paul

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
