Hi Panos,
LiveCode 9.6.6 on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina).
I've downloaded the Oracle stuff but it doesn't seem to have an install script
- where should I put "libclntsh.dylib.11.1"?
thanks for your help,
Ben

Hello Ben,
I take it you are on MacOS? Which MacOS version, and which LiveCode version
are you using?
Could it be the case you haven't got the right version of Oracle Instant
Client installed? You need libclntsh.dylib.11.1, found here:
https://download.oracle.com/otn/mac/instantclient/11204/instantclient-basic-macos.x64-11.2.0.4.0.zip
Kind regards,
Panos

Hi Mark,
Thanks for responding. Indeed 'the revLicenseInfo` returned
"...commercial".
After re-licensing, it now says "...professional" - however, I still can't
open a connection to an Oracle database.
Re-licensing *did* make a difference: whereas previously it broke into the
debugger, and (sometimes) displayed the error
> execution error at line n/a (External handler execution error:
revdberr,driver not licensed for this edition)
now revOpenDatabase simply returns
> revdberr,invalid database type
So I guess it's not a licensing issue any more, which is good; but I still
can't get at the database! Can you suggest where my next issue might be?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Matthias,
Good spot! Thanks for checking.
I wonder whether this is an accidental omission, in that Oracle was at
one time only available at a certain higher level of license; maybe
now that there is only level, perhaps someone forgot to tweak whatever
bit of code checked that the 'correct' license was in place?
All business-only features were moved to be part of the pro features
pack -
the oracle driver included.
If it isn't working in your current version of LC, check that the
license you
have licensed LC with does have the pro features pack in it...
If you do `put the revLicenseInfo` it should say professional, rather
than
commercial.
If it doesn't say professional, Relicense your IDE using the menu item
in Help
and flick through the licenses you have available until one says 'pro'
in the
title.
If the revLicenseInfo does say professional then something odd has
happened
somewhere which will need to look into more deeply!
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
