RE: [PHP-DB] minimal Oracle support From: Mark Nold (markn <email protected>)

I dont know the answer either but would love to know :)

If you look at http://oracle.mattshouse.com/ there is some great looking oracle
tools for X11 that ive been meaning to play with for a long time.

Anyway i havent tested this yet but the owners asserts that you only need
libclntsh.so.1.0 (home page right hand side) for the client library, i would
also assume you would need to set up the sqlnet files of sqlnet.ora and
tnsnames.ora.

Try it out.
