How to access the Oracle9i?

[Bill]

I heard good things about the cx package since I was looking at the same 
stuff recently.  Note you will need to install the Oracle client for this.

If you are doing just a few simple queries you can do without cx and the 
client by calling 'sqlplus' and just sending the input and capturing the 
output.  I had this working using 'popen2' and running sqlplus as a child.

This is viable if you are happy calling sqlplus each time, ie could you do 
what you want as a shell script, but it is worth considering.
