There is a number of good Open Source wrapper libraries, which provide a "neat", i.e. object-oriented API around OCI. Search at google or the usual OSS sites for "C++ Linux library Oracle".

OCI is a purely procedural C library. It provides for great functionality and for really _long_ programs. It is perfectly suited for wrapping into C++ or Java APIs.

Pro*C is the best choice for programs with fixed SQL. But I don't like it, since its preprocessor interacts with the C/C++ preprocessor.
