DBI Install

peschkaj has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am looking into installing DBI for use in on of our projects. The box has perl on it already, and the database (oracle) is hosted on another machine. Does the data source need to be on the same box as DBI?

I recall having problems in the past with Oracle not being on a Linux box that I was trying to put DBI on.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    While the data source does not need to be on the same box, Oracle's client libraries do. DBD-Oracle asks for you to point to them during the install.

    To add to what ignatz said: In general, if you are ever in a position where the client libraries/drivers for a particular database will not run on the target DBI client, then DBD::Proxy might prove very useful.

    Also, the DBI mailing list is very helpful and active, especially for install-related problems you may run into.
