The primary advantage of Pro-C over OCI is that the syntax is simpler. On the other hand you don't have the grandular control that you do with OCI.

In the C++ world the OCI calls are often embedded in classes which are then used as black boxes to perform SQL work. In that case the OCI has a definite advantage and once you get the class written and debugged you never have to think of it again because you'll just use the class's properties and methods.
