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

Hi Jeff... Hmm. I'm not certain, as every Oracle installation (db or client) I've ever done has been from the console. In this particular situation, I seem to recall that the Oracle 8i installation is an X11 application, and I have no idea whether it would work even if you had X11 emulation in your telnet program turned on. Further, you don't state whether you are the administrator or have administrator rights to the machine you're hoping to install on -- as root, you'll need to create an 'oracle' user in (probably) an 'oinstall' group. So... short story is: I don't think so. If you try it and it turns out that it does work, please let us know... - Brian ------------------------------------- Brian S.
