I followed the trails of
"Programming the Perl DBI, Appendix B" to
freeodbc to .... to
easysoft.org...
I read for hours history requests at dejanews
I am now more confused than when I started.
I have this working on my sparc Solaris ws:
perl+DBI+DBD::Informix to connect to an
Informix IDS 7.31 via Informix iconnect.
and now I find I need data which is in an
oracle database. I know nothing about the
oracle database. I think I need to know the
engine and the version and to find out what
connectivity interface it has. I have requested
that info from the oracle admin. Is there
more I will need to know about the oracle
software?
I requested an account on that Oracle server.
The oracle dba gave me an oracle acount and
password. He says I do not need a unix account
on the unix server which has the oracle. Is
this true?
I know I will need to install DBD::ODBC and
some odbc driver. Do I also need a
"driver manager"? If I have such for the
working Informix I am not aware of it.
I would like to here from anyone who is
using the easysoft driver on Solaris.
Thanks.
