It seems that without the ability to link against libclntsh.so and liboci805jdbc.so there is little that can be done with Oracle on FreeBSD without just breaking down and installing Linux and compiling static binaries for every little thing that needs to be done. At 3Meg a pop that seems a little extreme even for Oracle. I am considering writing a server, and OCI 7/8 wrapper (and possibly a new, less ugly, API) for FreeBSD that would allow "native" OCI programs to be run. Is there any interest in this outside of my little world? If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me offline. I have a simple example server already running, and would be willing to make the code public for testing / review / assistance.
