Central Oracle Client

Is it possible to setup an application(PowerBuilder) on a user's machine to connect to an Oracle database (8.1.7) without the oracle client on the machine?

They want to have a centralized 9i client somewhere where all the user applications can use to connect to the database.


Your help is appreciated.

Well there's 10g's instant client. That's about the minimum as far as I know. Don't know if PowerBuilder will work with it, or if it'll work with 8.1.7 or not.
