What exactly is needed to connect a client application to an Oracle db? Our
current standard procedure is to install the Oracle client software
(anything ranging from v7.3.3 on up to 9i). I recently travelled to a
European site to train users on the software and their support people were
able to achieve the connection without installing the client. I believe that
had a script that only installed SQL Net components. I'm interested in
finding out the minimum required components so that I can write a silent
installation procedure for our VB6 application that installs our app as well
as the components needed for the db connection. Our customers have requested
this since they don't want to deal with two separate installs for one
application. Any comments or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
