I believe the latest Oracle driver is version 2.6, from c. June 11 2001. At least, that's the version I have, and it came with the AOLserver 3.3+ad13 from ArsDigita. It's ora8.c has this CVS Id tag at the top of the file: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.59 2001/06/11 20:11:14 mayoff Exp $ */ The README in the Oracle driver's source distribution mentions at the top that it's version 2.4, but there is a change log further down listing changes for 2.5 and 2.6, and according to the version.h file it's definitely 2.6. Looks like all that stuff is currently still available from aD: http://www.arsdigita.com/acs-repository/older?&type=other As far as I know the OpenACS folks have not (yet?) modified the Oracle driver at all. You might want to ask them to be sure, but this (relatively recent, I think) OpenACS 4 install doc says to still download AOLserver 3.3+ad13 from aD: http://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/aolserver.html Another variant of all that stuff is mentioned in that same install doc page: http://uptime.openacs.org/aolserver-openacs/ Todd Gillespie also hacked some form of ref cursor support into the Oracle driver at one point: http://www.toddbrandlabs.com/code/ While your're at this sort of thing, OpenACS seems to also have an "ns_xmlrpc" module that might be of interest: http://openacs.org/sdm/one-package.tcl?package_id=12 And, just what is the difference between the "postgres.c" and "nspostgres.c" drivers? They're both available on SourceForge, in different places. postgres.c is what OpenACS uses, and looks much more recent. Was it forked off from nspostgres.c at some point? http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/acs-pg/driver-2.3/ http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/aolserver/nspostgres/ -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com
