Perl + DBI + DBD::Oracle

[CEXI]

What is the advantages of building a dynamicaly linked version of DBD::Oracle over a staticaly one ?

Thank you.

1. Startup speed
2. Resource use (if more processes start, they share the code)
3. Size of your modules

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

How can you tell that DBD::Oracle is dynamicaly linked ?

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

It should not be questioned, since it's the default.

What's the size of Oracle.sl in your install tree? My DBD-Oracle-1.16 for 9.2 is 4.9 Mb on HP-UX 11.00 with perl-5.8.5-dor

find it (.../perl5/5.8.5/PA-RISC-2.0/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.sl), and do

# chatr Oracle.sl

and/or

# ldd Oracle.sl

if the chatr line has entries like

dynamic /your/path/to/oracle/v8170/lib/libclntsh.sl

and a few more, it is dynamic
