[Mapserver-users] Oracle DB Connection - Client Required?

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Shannon,

I think the best option is the install the complete Oracle client.

Mapserver uses the OCI library to interface with Oracle. So if you know 
exactly which things to copy just go ahead with that plan.

Best regards,
Bart
