I am developing a program on Windows to access an Oracle database on Unix.
The program only has read-only access to the database.

Do I need to install DBI/DBD on both systems or is there a way to access the
database without setting up a Proxy?

Thanks

Mark

You need to install it only on Windows. Why do you think you need it on
Unix? DBD::Oracle cannot work as a proxy, you would need DBD::Proxy (or
maybe the new Gofer stuff) for that.
