Re: Oracle Client files for Linux

[Quoted] Ok, that's great. But what I really need is to be able to connect with an [Quoted] SQL-Client (such as SQL*Plus or YASQL). And from what I could gather at crlab.com, this ODAC thing doesn't allow that -- only from code. If you know [Quoted] of another alternative (or if I have misunderstood the homepage) please let me know!

Thanks
Adam
