Try PERL with DBD::Oracle (look on search.cpan.org for the perl module) - if your server has internet connection, a simple perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::Oracle' will obtain, compile, and install it for you (assuming you're not on production, and have a C compiler on your machine) I use it a lot for small database-related tasks.

What is the most trouble free and easy to setup environment to program a small Oracle client on Unix (AIX 5.2/3) The client is basically a command line which can execute a few sql´s. Sqlplus and shell combination is not really enough for me. I've always did such things on Windows or Web server but here I just need a small VB like script. OCI seems too much for me for such a task. Can it be PHP? Java (even if I hate it)? Thank you in advance, Laimis N Fyrirvari/Disclaimer http://www.landsbanki.is/disclaimer -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
