Hi!

This is kora, an ORACLE SQL communicator for Kde. I think it's much better and more powerfull
then Sql*Plus.
If you have any comments, suggestions, etc. so please write to Ullrich.Wagner@gmx.de

To install this program, unpack it with :

tar xvf kora-0.3.2.tar.gz

The generated directory contains two subdirectories. Server and Client.
If you want the Oracle Connection Server to run at the same machine like the frontend, so
compile the server and the client. If you want to split server and client to different machines,
compile on the two machines the needed parts. To do so change to the wanted subdirectory and type

./configure
./make
./make install

By default 'make install' will install to your KDE directory. I you don't like that,
change the variable INSTALLDIR inside the file config.guess

The installation process will install the files /etc/kora (Client) and /etc/koras (Server).
You can make a copy of them to your Homedirectory. Rename it to .kora or .koras. So you make
configuration changes only valid to your account.

The file /etc/kora contains two lines
HOST=localhost         #---> The host where the server runs. If this is not the local machine, change it
PORT=4711              #---> The port. If you want anotherone (must be unused) change it

The file /etc/koras contains one line
PORT=4711              #---> The port for the KOra Server. If you want anotherone (must be unused) change it.

The two PORT lines must be identical, or you cannot establish a communication.

If you have problems installing KOra, send me an email and I'll try to help.
