RE: [PHP-DB] minimal Oracle support

I dont know the answer either but would love to know :) If you look at http://oracle.mattshouse.com/ there is some great looking oracle tools for X11 that ive been meaning to play with for a long time. Anyway i havent tested this yet but the owners asserts that you only need libclntsh.so.1.0 (home page right hand side) for the client library, i would also assume you would need to set up the sqlnet files of sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora. Try it out. mn Mark Nold markn@alverstone.com.au Systems Consultant Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
