For the OCX for OCI (Oracle Call Interface) API, simply use
SQL-Sombrero/OCX for OCI from:
http://www.sfi-software.com
Simply needs SQL*NET at runtime.
Be in control, no maybeware of middleware, or ODBC... simply the bottom
line server API.
Visual Basic Programmer's Journal 1997 Reader's Choice Award SFI is pleased to announce that SQL-Sombrero/OCX recently received the Visual Basic Programmer's Journal 1997 Reader's Choice Award in the Database Utilities category. "SQL-Sombrero continues to deliver something hard to find in many other products: it works, it's fast and it's reliable", VBPJ, Spring 1997 Buyer's Guide & Product Directory, P21
"SFI’s products will provide Oracle developers with a comprehensive environment for back-end programming, resulting in productivity increases, the ability to manage server code directly, and the ability to work on server code without changing production copy of the code." said Polly Sumner, vice president of worldwide business alliances at Oracle Corp
