RE: ORACLE-ODBC and Oracle Open Client Adaptor

Hi,

Thanks for the information - I wasn't aware of this product and it sounds very promising.

However, when I looked it up on Technet (at http://technet.oracle.com/doc/forms45/f45at/ch14.htm) the manual stated that it only supports Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, and Rdb. Has anyone tried using it with other ODBC datasources?

Also, in a Metalink forum I found a reply from an Oracle employee (dated 14-Nov-2000) stating that the most recent Open Client Adaptor (OCA) version "supports version 7.3 and 8.0, not 8i. There is no version of the OCA for oracle 8i products."

Is anyone successfully using OCA with an 8i database?

If you're interested then Metalink Note:66481.1 gives some technical details on using the OCA.

Thanks,

You need to install Oracle Open Client Adaptor and then you can do this. Only it is: select * from table_at_ODBC:datasource.

Hi !

I would like to access ODBC data from Oracle 8iR2 (NT4). // select * from table_at_ODBC_DataSource //

Is that possible ?
