Will it work : without problems, if i follow the instructiuons in the handbook? As for the clients, I uncompressed a Linux tarball under /home/oracle and worked fine out of the box, which means here that sqlplus could connect to a remote database. Take into account, however, that FreeBSD native executables cannot use Linux libraries and there is no OCI library for FreeBSD. So if you are going to need to write in that machine, say, a Perl program that has to use the database you'll have a hard time. I installed Red Hat's perl but couldn't build DBD::Oracle. I needed to switch to Debian at work because of that. -- fxn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
