You don't say what platform. The following is tested on SunOS 4 and may be true on other unices.
OCI programs compiled and linked on a machine with Oracle can be run on a machine without Oracle installed provided the following steps are taken:
- Add the following line to /etc/services if it isn't there:
orasrv 1525/tcp oracle
2. If the machine runs NIS (aka yellow pages), do a ypmake
3. Set the TWO_TASK environment variable to
T:ip.name.of.the.server:SID
Er ... that's it.
Of course, you must have a licence to run the Oracle on the machine. Received on Thu Jan 18 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
