Jim,
ODBC is not the way to go for Oracle if you can. Early on I tried using ODBC and I
had crashes and hang-ups. Performance is substantially better also. The modules below
and the oci libraries in the Oracle install will get it for you. This version works
with the 9i Release 2 for me.
DBD-Oracle-1.12.tar.gz
DBI-1.32.tar.gz
Using separate boxes works fine.

Subject: Oracle9.2 and mod_perl - advice sought
Hello all,
Quick request for advice/direction...
I'm about to take receipt of an Oracle 9.2 server - for the development
of a site/product/service.. I'm happiest writing Perl - under mod_perl
- so I'd like to stick to that, but most importantly I need the solution
with the lowest transaction overheads.. (The webserver and OracleDB are
going to be on different boxes..)
I'm told the best solution is to use SQLNet(?) rather than ODBC.. ??
I've managed to get my XML'ing to a level that allows me to avoid
databases thus far ;-) So I have little experience of what the best
direction is... Any recommendations of modules, other lists etc.. would
be very much appreciated..
Thank you kindly :-)
Jimbo
