I have used SQL Server/ODBC and ORALCE/ODBC on NT 3.51 without problems. No, the SQL Server ODBC driver will not work with ORACLE. Haven't tried SQL Server on NT 4.0; too much bad juju from the 3.51 experience. Have successfully used both ORACLE 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 on NT 4.0 Server with the 32-bit ODBC driver that is distributed on the ORACLE CD.

Unlike SQL Server, all of the ORACLE drivers have supported multi-thread processes.
