thanks, Oleg and Phil, that's quite a relief. Now I'm confused about compiling the ZOracleDA. From what I read there, I need to have python installed on the Oracle machine and build the DA on that machine. Sun= www server HPUX= Oracle server

Can I just copy $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the sun machine and then build the DA or is there some other voodo I'd have to bring along?

You'll need to build ZOracleDA on the Sun. For this, you'll need the Sun version of the oracle client libraries. I don't think Oracle make their client libraries available separately. Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
