You need Oracle Client on your machine not the whole database software. Unfortunately that too happens to be mammoth.

Crawford Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 4:09 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Connecting to a remote Oracle database I need to be able to connect to the Oracle 9i database at work from my Linux desktop at home. Is this possible to do without installing the entire Oracle database software on my home computer? I'm running RH 8 at home, and the remote database is Oracle 9i on Solaris 9. -- Slainte, Richard S.
