oracle client on PC's

[Jeffrey Beckstrom]

Rather than installing the Oracle client on every client PC, we have been: - installing client on 1 PC - copying directory to a network server - extract the registry for "oracle" key - fix registry that was extracted to reference the network drive - load registry on client PCs - add the network pc as a search drive to the client pc.   We are now experiencing problems over the WAN and looking at ways to eliminate the Oracle dll overhead.  Short of installing Oracle on every client PC, what are our options?       Jeffrey Beckstrom Database Administrator Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority 1240 W. 6th Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113
