minimal client install

[AsherAtkinson]

What is the minimal Oracle 8.17 client installation required for DOA to work in a two tier environment? I am considering deploying an existing two tier application to external users who would see the database via VPN. My major concern is the Oracle client installation and the more simple and small I can make this the better. The application does nothing fancy with Oracle and uses just the DOA session, logon, query and dataset components.

Thanks in advance.

The only requirement is that Oracle Net needs to be installed on the client. If there are many clients, you could consider a central Oracle Net installation on a file server. In that case you only need an Oracle registry section that points to the correct installation on the file server.
