I would like to know what options are available for connecting a VB
client to a Oracle database running on Windows NT other than using an
ODBC connection. We are currently using a product called Simba ODBC.
The advantage of using Simba is that you can manage the tnsnames.ora
file on a server and not have to reload it on the clients every time it
changes. The disadvantage is that it is really slow. Maybe a local
tnsnames and ODBC would be faster or some kind of API library would
provide a faster more direct connection. Any advice would be
appreciated.
