Hello People, I need to be able to query an Oracle 7.3.X Server running on an AIX machine, I want to use Perl / DBI of course, running on Slackware Linux 7.1. I have a problem, which way to go, DBD::Oracle or DBD::ODBC?, lets try the "easy one" since i have used ODBC (not under Linux), then i find out i have to install a Driver Manager and a Driver for Oracle. Fine, i manage to install the openlink thingie, and when i run odbctest i get the following message: OpenLink: RPC: Remote system error [OpenLink][ODBC]RPC: Remote system error, SQLSTATE=08004 [OpenLink][ODBC]Connection rejected by data source, SQLSTATE=08004 Something is wrong, so i re-check the DSN config, and it seems to be ok, then i check a DSN at a windows client and i see the driver is for Oracle Version is 7.3.X, And OpenLink gives drivers for 8.x versions (at least for Linux). what can i do about this? Then i tried the other way DBD::Oracle, when i start reading the README files i see i need some ORACLE_HOME env. variable and some libraries and other stuff, i go to Oracle's Site and i couldnt find what i am looking for. Can someone give me a hand? I am compleatly clueless Regards, Juan Jose -- fortune generated signature: Overdrawn? But I still have checks left!
