I would have to agree with arturo on this one - I have never had to use DBD in my stuff, and I do extensive Database connection scripting. In general, as he said, doing my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:dbtype:dbname", "user","auth"); should work fine. DBI will read the "dbi:Oracle:dbname" and know to use the Oracle DBD.
