Dave, 1. Yes 2. Compile --with-oci, as per the manual, and set all the appropriate ORACLE environment variables before doing so. 3. oci should be available from Oracle's site. 4. Yes, unless you want to use ODBC, and then you would install --with-iodbc per the HOWTO's on www.iodbc.org. 5. again, from Oracle :)
