Re: Pro*C vs OCI

Hi Sebastien,

OCI is a native interface with Oracle. Pro*C is the embedded code that operate on an Oracle database. OCI is faster than Pro*C and does not require any precompilers. OCI is pretty difficult to develop compared to Pro*C. Also if you have any plan for migration to other databases, OCI is not recommended as it will tie tightly to Oracle unlike Pro*C which after suitable modifications can work in other databases. I do not know of any document that will give more information about this.

Hope this helps.
