I heavily use ODBC to connect to Postgresql, Mysql and Oracle 9 databases under windows xp using Access (the use of it is a corporate choice, you know). Under a freshly installed FreeBSD 6.1 on which I installed the latest PgSQL & MySQL & Oracle8-client together with unixODBC, I have no problem at all at setting up the two open-source DBs odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini lines of command but I am somewhat disorientated about the poor documentation I can find around in the net about how to set up an Oracle connection via unixODBC (by the way, I cannot ask my Company to buy something like "EasySoft"). On one hand the author of the freebsd port of the Oracle client says that his port is the "essential" client that you can use to connect to an oracle up to 9i db via unixODBC but no example of *.ini files for that kind of connection are given. Could you please clarify this subject to me? Ciao & Grazie (Bye & Thanks a lot) Vittorio
