Noam There is no need to install the entire Ora 9i distro - after all Ora IS a client/server system
I am assuming you have an Oracle 8 or 9 distribution disk. Run the Oracle Installer (sometimes called the Universal installer) - it is a Java wizard application that runs on Windoes or Linux (last time I did this) Select the Net8 client of your choice - either a Ora 8i or Ora9i client (Net 8 supersedes SQL*Net) You're best off using DNS for server name resolution. If you like working hard you can configure a local configuration file usually called tnsnames.ora - if you do local - you'll probably have trouble with service name resolution if this is the first time you've done it. Follow directions from the wizard - carefully - you should be ok. Mind the username/password - if they arent correct you wont be able to connect. For debugging these things I've found that DB Visualizer is a great tool - http://freshmeat.net/projects/dbvisualizer/ As a matter of fact - first I would make sure I have connectivity with DB visualizer and then I would start writing Perl scripts Have fun!
