You will need the libclntsh.so client library at a minimum. If these scripts you are referring to are perl, you will also need the DBD-Oracle module (and this module will require linking against the oracle library). (I assume since it works with mysql that you are using perl since the mysql perl modules normally come default with linux now days)
Personally I use just a plain simple bash script that calls sqlplus (using sqlplus will require a larger oracle client installation) to load my logs into oracle. Perl and its cludge or modules has gotten so sloppy these days I tend to use it as a last resort for anything.
That sounds like what our DBA's were suggesting. The script I found at http://vermeer.org/display_doc.php?doc_id=1 also uses sqlplus. So that will require the full oracle client installation? Is that similar to the script you use? Thanks, Shane
