I need to connect my freebsd 5.4 box to an oracle 9 db to query it by means of 
perl or the statistical software R.
How could I set up this odbc connection (I already installed unixODBC, but 
what next and how to set it up)?
Have you any doc to suggest ( I was unable to find anything interesting 
googling!)?
