Hello,
I'm building a perl remote client application using DBI/DBD-oracle, and am astonished that I have to install 400M of the oracle client software just to run a 200 line perl script to connect and query the db. There HAS to be a better way. I'm on AIX 4.3.3 connecting to an Oracle 8.1.6 WIN/NT server on the same network.
Does anyone know what the MINIMUM requirements are to use perl DBI for Oracle? Can I just copy a portion of the oracle libraries from the CD or what?
Thanks in advance.
