OK I'll bite. Why would you not
1. install the Oracle client on every PC?
OR
2. make the app web enabled and just point
everyone at a URL.
I get really confused when folk (and this
isn't aimed at you honest) are quite happy to have
sqlserver,msaccess,excel,text and foxpro client access libraries on their
machine ( because they come with the web browser :(!!!! ) but don't like the
client software required for Oracle.
Rather than installing the Oracle client on every client PC, we have
been:
- installing client on 1 PC
- copying directory to a network server
- extract the registry for "oracle" key
- fix registry that was extracted to reference the network drive
- load registry on client PCs
- add the network pc as a search drive to the client pc.
We are now experiencing problems over the WAN and looking at ways to
eliminate the Oracle dll overhead. Short of installing Oracle on every
client PC, what are our options?
