Does changing ORACLE_HOME affect DBI?



Hello folks,

A while back (months and months, in fact) I was asked to install DBI for
use with an Oracle database. As part of the install I remember that I
was asked for the value of things like ORACLE_HOME and some others.

Today I'm told that they want to move ORACLE_HOME to someplace else on
the same box.

My question is:

Does moving ORACLE_HOME mean that I need to recompile DBI, or was that
information only used for testing during the install?

I've never used it myself, so it's kind of a black box. Any hints, docs,
etc would be appreciated.

Thanks much.

BTW, I'm not on the list, so if you could reply to this address (as well
as the list, of course) I would appreciate it. Thanks!
