Hi Jürgen,

Thank you for answering!

>oci package, which is the oracle client.

As you can read the email I had writen previously to Giovanni about the
OSGeo4W gdal-oracle package:

About the locations of the libraries:
In fact, when we installed only the gdal-oracle library from the OSGeo4W
installer, only the dlls from the \OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\1.8 are
downloaded!
The steps to download are as follows:
OSGeo4W installer> Install Advanced> ... > Select Packages> View (Category).
Categories> Libs
Just select:  gdal-oracle: OGR OCI and GDAL GeoRaster Plugins for Oracle.
 The actual version is 1.8.0-1
Leave all items unchecked in this and in the other categories!
>The oci package is 32MB ie. ~130MB installed...

You are right about the size of the package! But, it is a good idea to
document all these procedures I did! This procedure for connecting to Oracle
had to be explicit in the QGIS documentation!
The ordinary user of GIS does not know about this! So, he will prefer to use
a easier software! Often a commercial software!

Sandro.
