Hi,

Im a complete newbie and Ive got a few questions (in no particular order) regarding connecting to an oracle datasource, particulary Oracle 8i Personal Edition:

Can anyone explain the function of "Listeners"? Do these have the same function as a server for the database? Can they be acessed through http://127.0.0.1:1521/?
What header files do I need to incorporate into my C++ source code in order to connect, so that I can run SQL statements?
Does anyone have example code for connecting to an Oracle datasource using C++?
How easy is ODBC to configure and use?

I installed Oracle PE via a CDROM that came with an SQL book - even tho Im competent with SQL now :-) , Im having problems using the system with C++.

Any help or pointers to info would be appreciated!!

Cheers
