I had been told by members of my shop that the DBI idea was great but perhaps too ambitious - that it didn't work well for Oracle. They currently incorporate "use oraperl" in their perl scripts. Could they be using the 2nd thing you mention (Oraperl.pm) or is that a part of DBI DBD::Oracle? What are the problems you know of using DBI DBD::Oracle? How about using oraperl for Perl 4 with Perl 5, if that is indeed what my shop is doing? Received on Wed Nov 12 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
