Sadly, my program didn't even go through the first stage. When I tried to
run a test program, there's a popup window comes up saying the oracore8.dll
could not be found in the path. So I did quite a few search on
http://tahiti.oracle.com and http://otn.oracle.com as suggested by one of
the previous posters. And it turns out that I need to install the client
and the dependent file. So I did more search on the above sites and the
web, but I couldn't find where to download the client. Any hints?
