Re: [Haskell-cafe] Access to Oracle database from Haskell

Is there a way of accessing a remote Oracle database by one of the common Haskell database interfaces (HaskellDB, Takusen, etc.) ? I tried to get unixODBC and Oracle's Instant Client running on a Linux machine, but I'm trapped in the notorious error:

Takusen's Oracle backend uses the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) library directly. I think most Oracle client drivers (ODBC, ADO.Net, etc) use the OCI. I don't know what the Oracle Instant Client is; I'll assume that it includes an oci.so or liboci.so. On Windows, with which I am most familiar, the Oracle client software is all installed in $ORACLE_HOME, and the OCI library is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oci.dll. If you can locate that, then you ought to be able to use Takusen with it. Alistair
