[DAS] LDAS and other databases

[Tony Cox]

Hi Kevin,

If you have the DBD::oracle DBI driver module available from your perl
installation it should be very simple to change the driver specification as
detailed below. I assume that Lincoln checked the schema for the LDAS
database and made it "neutral" with respect to the various language
restrictions on different DBs.....
