I did see that in the archives. I'm not sure how man changes or additions to the OCI have occurred through 8.1.7. I guess for straight foward connections they should be fine. I like to run the full server so I use the Linux Version. I compile a Linux Perl and DBI/DBD::Oracle. Since this email was originally about DBD::Oracle, well it is in the subject line :-), I use DBD::Proxy on other FreeBSD servers, this only requires DBD::Oracle to be running on the server. So I don't need the Oracle Clients on the addtional severs and is quite fast...this could be an alternative solution.
