Hi Oracle gurus,

I'am a little bit confused about the various ways to connect/interact with an Oracle SQl Database.
Some years ago ( > 8), I did write an Application running under WfW 3.11 connecting to a Novell NetWare 3.12 based Oracle 7.0.x Server. I was using a Pre Compiler Pro*C(?) v1.5 to produce C code which could be used with MS VC 1.51 / MFC 2.5 environment (those where the days...)

Now: How to do this kind of tasks in a 'modern' Windows 32 bit environment? (VC 6/7, XP, Oracle v9.x / 10.x).
I need to connet to some tables (select,update,insert) _and_ to the DBMS_PIPE facilites. What is the best Approach to this Task? PL/SQL -> 'Native Application Development'?
Newer Version Pro*C? ODBC? ADO? DOA? COM??

>Help!<

TIA
