Well, using the precomplier is easier for most programming tasks
and you won't see much (if any) performance benefit from OCI over
PRO*C/C++. Note that OCI had a major revamp moving from O7 to O8 -
although O8 does still support the O7 calls but you will not be able
to get some of the O8 performance benefits.
However, some features are only available in OCI, if you need an
array of cursors for example. Note that it also is possible to mix and
match PRO*C and OCI modules using a common db connection. This is
sometimes useful.
If you are a newbie, I would stick to PRO*C to start with.
