Question: I thought the whole point of ODBC is that it can be used to read any database??
To install DBD:Oracle I need to have Oracle installed on my UNIX box. We have a client Oracle installation through a third party which requires this, but it does not have all of the needed files. For example, Pro-C etc.
Comment from README file
Install enough Oracle software to enable DBD::Oracle to build.
That usually includes Pro*C and SQL*Net. That's not very specific
because it varies so much between Oracle releases.
Since this is a 'proof of concept' project, and since time is short, and since bureaucracy takes for ever to purchase anything, I had hoped to do this with open source stuff.
I went to my DBM and asked about Oracle for UNIX and they did not have any info for me. The Oracle web-site is simply a labyrinth of confusion.
Is this really not possible to do??
Anybody know anything about DBD-Proxy?
Thanks, Sandy
