	Hi Matthew

	I'm sorry I only noted your message now...  Did you solve your problem?


Sorry for being dumb, but I am trying to make a basic script to connect to
an oracle database on windows.  I have tried installing Oracle Instant
Client and moved the dll under the luasql folder (next to the other
database dll's , but even when I tried renaming oci.dll as oci8.dll -- no
luck).

	I think this won´t work.  LuaSQL OCI8 driver is another library.
It is not distributed with Oracle products.  In fact, the driver would
bind the client library (OCI8) to Lua language.  It is a way to allow
access to a C library through Lua.


My platform: win7 (64 bit)
with Lua5.1(32 bit installed)
I have previously installed Lua for Windows and luarocks but don't know if
that is messing anything up.

	I am not sure what drivers are distributed with Lua For Windows.
Can you compile/build the source?

	Regards,
