RE: Ora 8i OCI application on a Ora7 client - Windows NT

It's crazy: the following happened: The OCI application worked fine on my maschine. I installed Dev6i. Then the OCI app did not work. I copyed the OCI.DLL for Ora8i into the same directory as the OCI app and then it worked again. :-)

This caused me to think, that the OCI app needs the OCI.DLL of Ora8i to work.

So I copyed the OCI app to an Ora7 client box and to my surprise it did not work. It turned out that if I remove the OCI.DLL of Ora8i everything is fine unless I use Ora 8i functionality.

I think that perhaps the OCI.DLL of Dev 6i is not correct, can not cope with az Ora8i client OCI app.

Regards,

Tamas,

    You've got two choices:

  1. install the Oracle8 client wherever the program will be run.
  2. rebuild using the Oracle7 OCI library.

Hi,

I wrote an OCI application, that I would like to link on a Ora8i client (Windows NT). The problem is, that although I don't user any Ora8i specific functionality, the executable still would not run on a Ora7 client (The Ora8i OCI.DLL is copyed into the same directory on the Ora7 client as the application executable). Can some one please help, how this can be resolved?

TIA. Best regards,

Tamas Szecsy

The cause, I am using the Ora8i OCI.DLL is that the function calls (e.g. OCIDescribe ) are much more readable than the Ora7 version of it (odsc etc.).
