in reply to DBI AND ORACLE 8

Which version of DBD::Oracle is for me. You've built against one specific oracle client, not multiple.

    Thanks for the reply. The compile of DBI used the most current client 12c. I want to make it recompile to use the 10g client so I can access my obsolete databases until we can get them upgraded to Oracle 18

      If you're asking how to do this, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to to path of the client you wish to build against, then do a manual build:

      perl Makefile.PL gmake gmake test gmake install

      Substitute gmake for the appropriate version for your perl distribution. If you care about the tests consider altering the ORACLE_USERID to an appropriate username/password@database string.

        Thats exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!!
