Re: DBD-Oracle 1.17 gives install_driver(Oracle) failed
Can't load Oracle.dll is often a symptom for a missing OCIW32.DLL. Oracle.dll loads OCIW32.DLL at startup, if that fails, loading Oracle.DLL fails, hence the error message. OCIW32.DLL is provided by the Oracle client software, newer Versions of Oracle install this DLL only(?) when you choose to install the Oracle ODBC drivers. The directory containing OCIW32.DLL must be listed in the PATH environment variable. Unfortunately, some third party software comes with a very ancient version of OCIW32.DLL, often installed into the windows\system32 or windows\system directory. Rename or remove that DLL.

DBD-Oracle 1.17 gives install_driver(Oracle) failed

Re: DBD-Oracle 1.17 gives install_driver(Oracle) failed
You will have to update DBI and DBD::Oracle from ActiveState. The only problem I see is the version of DBD::Oracle 1.17 will only work for a limited numer of Oracle clients ( Instantclient 10.2.0.1 and I think 10XE.) and windos OSes. You will have to download that client from Oracle and use it or you will have to follow the instrunctions in the README.win32.txt http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/README.win32.txt to compile it yourselft. I suggest you use the latest trunk version of the code and you can get it here http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/DBD-Oracle-1.18-RC3.zip as we are close to releaseing a new version of DBD::Oracle Cheers John Scoles - Original Message - From: Rohit V Bhute [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dbi-users@perl.org Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 12:39 PM Subject: DBD-Oracle 1.17 gives install_driver(Oracle) failed I was using Perl 5.6.x (ActiveState Windows port) to connect to Oracle 9i.
