If I install it as linux doesn't that mean that my application linking against the client libraries has to be a Linux executable? I don't mind the server running as a linux executable, but I would like it if I could link against the client-side libraries as a FreeBSD executable. Is that possible? Thanks. -Kip On Fri, 28 May 1999, Jamie Lawrence wrote: > At 02:06 PM 5/28/99 -0700, kip@lyris.com wrote: > >How fast is that compared with using Oracle's native library API?
