Oracle client install?

[Tarun Reddy]

Not sure what OCI is... I'm strictly a jdbc/sqlplus guy.

With the rpms, sqlplus works without the typical tns files with the 
following syntax:

sqlplus <username>/<password>@//<hostname>:<port>/<databasename>

Finally getting rid of that mapping file... (the port can be eliminated 
if running on 1521)

for an install from the standard oracle downloads, get the 
ship.client.cpio.gz file

gunzip ship.client.cpio.gz
cpio -idmv < ship.client.cpio

cd Disk1
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

That should do it.... I would recommend Oracle 10g. It doesn't need all 
of the patches that the 9.2.x series needs...
