I had problems with the Microsoft ODBC driver when we switched from Oracle 8.0.5 to Oracle 8.1.7.3... several years ago. Use the Oracle ODBC or OLEDB driver instead (might need to perform a custom install of the client, at least that is the case with the Oracle 10.2.0.1 client). The OLEDB driver seems to retrieve data faster than the Oracle ODBC driver.
