Re: [Tora-develop] tora 2.0svn - new windows snapshot

I guess I should have said "If they want to use their existing oracle client, then they can compile their own."

You're right that it's still TNS. There may be some resistance to the idea, but there's no compelling reason to use the full client that I'm aware of....
