We also use the MS oracle driver.

Unfortunately MS has shelfed all plans to support Oracle 8 datatypes with the MS ODBC driver and MS OLEDB Provider for Oracle.

Therefore we have following problem:
.) Some of the old Oracle datatypes (long, long raw) will not longer be supported by new Oracle releases.
.) MS will not support the new Oracle large object datatypes, ie. clob, blob.
