What's easier than sqlplus? With the right options, you can have sqlplus return errors and/or ignore them. Otherwise, you have to parse the sql and separate the statements. It shouldn't be too difficult, but I'm not sure it's worth the time. > > Actually im trying to prepare a delivery installation script > for our application for which we are currently using shell > scripts.

Can't do that. The DBD::Oracle module *requires* the Oracle client installed. The only platform that natively support that type of connection, that I'm aware of, is Java with the thin drivers. I'm sure there's another way, but, DBD::Oracle requires the client installed. Regards, Jeff
