Re: C++ to Oracle Server

[Quoted] Hi Steven,

With Oracle products you have three options: (from low level to high level)
1 OCI (Oracle Call Interface). The OCI itself has been written in C. Here you can and you must do everything yourself, compare it with using system calls.
2 Pro*C. This is essentially a pre-compiler, it translates your calls of Pro*C routines to ordinary C. You have both static and dynamic sql. Using it is far less difficult than OCI, and you still have flexibility. You can use Pro*C calls everywhere, also in your own functions/modules. 3 Oracle Objects for OLE. This is a VB/Access like interface to Oracle, though it doesn't use ODBC. You can have recordsets and all the like.

Hth,
