[mapguide-users] Linux ODBC Connections To Oracle

[Dave Wilson]

What Linux flavor are you using?

Oracle instant client works well enough with unixODBC. With MGOS 1.2 on
RedHat4 a specific version of unixODBC is required as the installed
version has some issues and doesn't work with MapGuide. The
instantclient is pretty easy to configure, once unixODBC is in place.

We are working on a project that will require ODBC connections from  
MapGuide on Linux to an Oracle server. We see two possible ODBC drivers

for such a connection. Can anyone here provide advice about either of  
these products?

Oracle Instant Client - <URL:

linuxsoft.html

We are concerned about cost and ease of implementation. Any experience
you  
can relate about either product would be helpful.
