Steve,

I use the Oracle DBD with the DBI interface. This is a very *easy* and powerful interface into the Oracle database. Find information at

The machine that you use as a client must have an Oracle client installed, and you must have access to the OCI libraries for Oracle to compile the Oracle DBD. I use this on a DEC Alpha running DEC Unix.
