Re: Re: Re: Trying to connect to an Oracle DB on Windows from DBD:ODBC on UNIX.

You should listen to the master mpeppler - author of DBD::Sybase. ODBC is just a convenient top level interface, you still need database specific drivers. If you 'google' for 'Freeware Solaris 2.8 Oracle ODBC Driver', you will end up with thousands of related links. Beware that most of these Oracle drivers are not free, you will just have to keep searching.

The following ODBC driver for solaris looks good, but it's not free. :-(

I believe the Oracle client software itself includes an ODBC driver for many platforms, depending on your install options. You might look to see if that is available on your machine first, before trying 3rd part drivers.	[reply]
