How do I tie the DBD:ORACLE to the SQL*NET ?
In other works, if I install the client and SQL*NET, how do I tell my
program to use it ?
Currently I just say
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:SDADATA", "username", "password"
)

Couldn't you install the Oracle client on the linux box, and access the
Solaris box via SQL*Net - using DBD::Oracle on the Linux box exactly as you
do on the Sun box ?

Hello:
I know this should bea simple question but I have chased it through manuals
and FAQ's
and WEB pages for 3 days.
Any help woule be GREATLY appreciatted.
I have an ORACLE database on a Solaris 2.7 system that I am accessing via
the PERL DBI
inteface Just Fine.
But I need to be able get to it vai the PERL DBI from a LINUX 7.2 box.
The perl DBI book from O"REELLY makes it seem like a piece of cake, just use
DB Proxying.
But each step in this seem like it requires 2more steps , and so on and so
on till I Lost!
Here's where I am
- On LINUX I tied to install DBD::ODBC
- This requires you to tell it where your ODBC Driver
Manager IS
- This requires you specify a driver (which I am
clueless on)
Have I headed down a wrong path ?
Is the a SIMPLER, EASIER way to do this ?
Again, I aplogize in advace for the "basic" nature of the question, but I
have tried
to look everywhere before wrting.
THX IN Advance
