Building for Oracle

[KaptainKarl]

Hello,

I am attempting to install QT 4.3.1 commercial on a Suse Enterprise Desktop 10 machine. I have a requirement to build an application that connects to a MySQL 5 database on one host, summarize the data, and then put the new data into an Oracle 9 database running on a different server that is Solaris based.

The hard part seems to be getting an Oracle library linked to QT that will connect to an Oracle 9 database. Is there any place that I can get the appropriate shared objects and header files without having to actually install Oracle 9 client on my local system?

Thanks,
Karl

You might want to take a look ath the Oracle 10g Instant Client - the one I've seen provides a lightweight Oracle client capable of connection to 8i, 9i, and 10g. The site (and downloads) can be found here, although I have not tried this with Qt.

I was able to finally build QT using the Oracle instant client. I have not managed to connect to an Oracle database from within QT however.

I also managed to install Oracle 9 Client installed using a procedure that was a bit of nightmare. If you are interested the procedure is at:

Thanks for your help.
