The only one I can think of, is using DBD::Proxy. Run the proxy on the oracle server (must have perl) then use DBD::Proxy on the local machine. That way, no need for an Oracle installation on the local machine. That, or use the JDBC type 4 driver (hence, no Perl) which is the lightest way I know of to access an Oracle database. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
