RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB

Jeff, As far as I know, you cannot get *only* the Oracle client for Linux. When I called Oracle Worldwide Support and asked for one, they sent me the whole Oracle 8i installation package for Linux. No problem, though -- when you start the install on your Linux machine, you can choose to install only the client. That's what I did, and it's working fine connecting to the Oracle 8i database on our Sun. -----Original Message----- From: Mindblender [SMTP:noone@nowhere.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 12:35 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB I read a post on faqt.com that said that I could connect to a remote Oracle DB if I had the Oracle client installed. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of only the client for Linux? I don't want to install the whole Oracle package, I use MySQL on the server, but have a client that is needing to connect to an Oracle DB on their server from mine. Any suggestions?
