RE: Does changing ORACLE_HOME affect DBI?

All joking aside it would be a good idea to recompile
DBD::Oracle when you Oracle home changes only because this
usually means they (DBAs,SAs) have changed the client,
Version or something else in your Oracle. So to keep
everything in sync I would recompile.

That being said once DBD::Oracle is compiled is should be
somewhat stand alone and not rely on the oracle client
directly anymore. So changing the the Home shouldn't matter.

Cheers John Scoels

Thanks, John and Mike for your responses.
I'll pass this along to the Powers That Be :)
