Yuck...I have to disagree with you on this one, Niall
ODBC, ADO.....all M$....and its stuff just does not work well with Oracle,
(they don't exactly like each other, do they ?)
ESPECIALLY when you try to work with PL/SQL objects...
I'd use M$ stuff just for GUI things.
I suggest OO4O....Oracle's native middleware....works seamlessly with the
server.
My app don't need no ODBC layer..(gasp ! newest) ADO installation.....to
run.
