DBD-Oracle.ppd

Hi there,

Im trying to access your FTP site at
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI to download DBD-Oracle.ppd for 5.8
but Im unable to get on the server. Every web link I've found thus far
points to your repository, but I cant seem to ping the server or
anything. Does this repo still exist? If not, could you possibly point
me in the right direction to downloading the built ppd for Oracle?

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Ben Cole

If you're running Windows, you can get to Oracle through ADO. You won't
have all the features of the DBD::Oracle driver, but you can at least
access the database.

You'll need to have the Oracle client installed. After that, you'll need
to make a Data Source (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources
(ODBC)). Then, use DBD::ADO to connect to the database.

my $dbh =3D DBI->connect('dbi:ADO:your_odbc_data_source_name',...)
|| die $DBI::errstr;

my $sth =3D $dbh->prepare("select * from dual");

That may be but I removed that rep before I did the search and it still
comes up. Plus the describe says it is coming from ActiveState but here
is the describe for it:

ppm> rep des 1
