Hi,

I'm looking into using Drupal as the CMS for our website and would be very grateful if anybody could tell me how you run queries on an Oracle database? I know very little about this, so apologies if I'm asking anything very obvious!

Part of our current website is hosted on a different server and generates pages from an Oracle 10g Database, currently running on Oracle Application Server 10g, but about to move to Tomcat on Apache.

We would like to be able to query this database from the content managed website. Are there any Drupal modules that simplify this process? Or do queries have to be coded in PHP?

Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

I think Drupal 7 is working on supporting Oracle...

You can download an unoffical 6.x driver from here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=240224
It does not touch the core code, and works with cck, views, and other modules.
Works with any 6.x.

hope this helps.
