Our experiance:

        Oracle ODBC Intersolve driver: Ok
        Microsoft VB 4.0 DAO: Slow
        Microsoft VB 5.0 RDO 2.0 : Very promising
        OO4O : tried, but with above list, not needed

        Oracle OCI: Ok, but require C/C++
        Class libraries: RogueWave DBTools.h++, in process of evaluation
(pure C++)
                                  Zinc Oracle native support (didn't

try)
