Hi, I'm sure this problem is shared by many: We want to run more (all?) of our webservers on FreeBSD but we _must_ be able to connect to an Oracle Database (on Solaris) with mod_perl. Has anyone been able to get DBD::Ora going? The best solution would be DBD::Ora compiled/distributed in such a way that the webserver need not have Oracle installed on it. I intend to pursue this, but I'm wondering if someone more clever than me has done it already. Or is there another solution entirely? Ideas anyone? Thanks, Dave p.s. - <rant> The fact that Oracle doesn't support FreeBSD is reason enough in my eyes to refrain from using their product (c'mon, at least make client libs available). I feel like I should support opensource and FreeBSD-friendly companies like MySQL, but this does me no good for sites currently running Oracle.</rant> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
