No, DBD::Oracle requires the Oracle client libraries to be installed. There are other options, though, depending on your requirements:
* DBD::Proxy - requires another system that DOES have DBD::Oracle (or, you could proxy through a Windows server that has an ADO driver for Oracle) * DBD::JDBC - In theory, can connect without the Oracle client if you use Oracle's thin JDBC driver Philip -----Original Message----- From: Maniace Libi - lmania [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 12:09 PM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: DBD:Oracle I have a developer who wants DBD::ORACLE installed on a Solaris server. There is not an instance of Oracle installed on this server. He is certain that it can be installed, but I can't find information supporting this. It always errors out with wanting "Oracle_home". Is there a way to install DBD without oracle installed.
