Some programmers are writing an application in C to run against my Oracle
database. The question deals with Oracle's API. My Oracle is on a box running
NT. The developers are writing the C application on a box with an O/S called
OpenBSD. Technet doesn't have any info about OpenBSD.What has been
explained to me is that the same C program written on three different O/S's
will compile three different (unique to the O/S) executable files. C apparently
doesn't compile the same on NT as Solaris as OpenBSD. The question I have
for the newsgroup is this: If Oracle does not have a client API for OpenBSD
or offer their client source code in a form such that it can be ported
to OpenBSD, what is the easiest way for the programmers' program
to execute calls against my database?? They said they'll make it work with
any solution I can find, as long as they can use THEIR COMPILER . Thank
you all in advance for any help you may be able to lend.
