Wow, thanks! I am confident that we are running at least the 10.2.0 client, but as far as getting the OCI client version (if that's different), I'm not sure... -- Eric

Does not look too complicated but I am not sure which OCI client you have to use. Let me have a quick look at it this AM and get back to you later today. You could try writing it youself but OCI is not something you can pick up in 5min. I been working in it for two years now and I still know nothing. cheers John Scoles > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: dbi-users@perl.org > Subject: RE: Accessing Remote LOBs in Oracle > Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 16:19:42 -0600 > > I'm barely familiar with stored procedures.
