The beta version of Microsoft's latest Oracle ODBC driver (v2.0) is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/rds/rdsdownload.htm. It is part of the RDS Server 1.5 Beta download. When you download it you have the option to install any of the included components (ADO, OLE DB, the Oracle ODBC driver, etc...).

Some of the features of the new driver are:

  • It is one of the fastest (if not THE fastest) ODBC drivers available for Oracle.
  • It can return a resultset from a stored procedure.
  • It is thread safe at the connection level.
  • It has been fully tested with ADO 1.5 and RDO 2.0.

The Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle is only one of the components that make up Microsoft's Universal Data Access strategy. To learn more about Universal Data Access go to: http://www.microsoft.com/data.

Support for this driver can be obtained at microsoft.public.odbc.beta.oracle. Received on Sun Aug 24 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
