Hello,
I am setting up a new webserver, and would like to use MN Mapserver to =
render some Oralce Spatial data from an Oracle DB on a separate machine. =
 I have done this before, but I had the Oracle client installed on that =
webserver.
Do I need to install the Oracle client on the webserver for Mapserver to =
communicate with the server, or can I just grab the correct .so and set =
ORACLE_HOME?
I couldn't find this in the archives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Shannon
