I prefer to use OO4O, a native Oracle technology that works quite well from Visual Basic, VB Script (both Windows Scripting Host and IIS/WEB/ASP), C and C++. OO4O has native support for returning recordsets (PL/SQL cursors and tables), all Oracle datatypes including LOBs, and works like a charm.

If you are familiar with ADO, then you'll be at home writing with OO4O.

Make sure you have the latest client install, oracle_p1882450_8172_WINNT.zip which can be downloaded from Metalink as patch #1882450 for 8.1.7.2 for Windows NT/2000.

Make sure you have the latest OO4O release, oo4o_p1926598_8170_WINNT, which can be downloaded from Metalink as patch #1926598 for 8.1.7.0 for Windows NT/2000.
