Hi all, I am about to start working on an Oracle 9i DB within a very small (4 computer) network. The entire network is behind a firewall and is on a local IP range (i.e. 192.168.xxx.xxx). I will be writing DBI scripts to access the DB from any of these computers. This is *not* CGI, just plain-old command-line PERL scripting. I've set up the Oracle client software (i.e. SQL*Net) on each computer already, and I can connect to the database without problems.
I am confused on which DBD to choose, though. Should I use DBD::ODBC or DBD::Oracle? I can set up ODBC DSNs on each computer without much problem so both are equally convenient. But is there any other reason or criteria I can use to make this choice, perhaps based on performance or stability? Any advice/ideas very much appreciated. Paul
