RE: Connecting to Oracle.

2006-07-07 Thread Reidy, Ron
SQL*Plus is not required to connect from Perl, unless you would like to
run SQL*Plus as a piped process or with expect from within Perl.

You will need to (at a minimum) install an Oracle client on the machine
running the Perl scripts, along with the DBI and DBD::Oracle modules.
The README files that are part of the DBD::Oracle distro have more
informations.

No, but it typically comes with the files that you DO need (the Oracle
client).  Google "oracle instantclient"

Install DBI and DBD::Oracle from CPAN.  Be sure to read the included
instructions carefully.

It would help if you could include os type.  But to answer your question
1) no, but it helps when troubleshooting.  Usually if sqlplus works, then 
you know that the client libraries/software and connnectivity is good.

2) depends on the os of choice.
