I have to connect to oracle database through OCI (I am using C). I have an IP and port. The problem for me is how do I let OCI handles know what file descriptor to use?

ocifd = openSocket(ipAddress, portNumber) //*--- open port & return file descriptor

wher do I specify ocifd in OCI calls?

  if (OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envhp, (dvoid **) &errhp, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR,

                   (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0)) {

    exit (-1);
}

  if (OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envhp, (dvoid **) &srvhp, OCI_HTYPE_SERVER,

                   (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0)) {

    exit (-1);
}

  if (OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envhp, (dvoid **) &svchp, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,

                   (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0)) {

    exit (-1);
}

  /* set attribute server context in the service context */   if (OCIAttrSet( (dvoid *) svchp, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, (dvoid *)srvhp,

                 (ub4) 0, OCI_ATTR_SERVER, (OCIError *) errhp)) {
     exit(-1);

}

  if (OCIHandleAlloc((dvoid *) envhp, (dvoid **)&authp,

                 (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0)) {
     Trace(ERROR_LEVEL, "OCI_ERROR: OCIHandleAlloc failed.");
     exit (-1);

}

etc......

Appreciate your help.
