This time, it's F19. Oracle 11.2 installation goes without a hitch, despite the fact tbat installer reports missing packages, as the versions are too high. Oracle 12c installation fails. However, instant client 12c works without problem and can be used to link PHP oci8 extension:

[mgogala_at_medo ~]$ php -i |grep -i oracle

Perl extension DBD::Oracle can also be linked with Oracle 12c instant client:

I also ran two of my test scripts, both have worked without a problem.

However, the fact that an older version installation goes without a hitch on the newer version of the OS scares me. That means that the first version was concocted hastily and am not sure that I would use it, even for the development test.
