Re: Can anyone Name a Good Oracle 8/Visual Basic 6 Book?

Snowdon's book is good, but you will want to try a new book by WROX.

ISBN 1861001789 : Visual Basic Oracle 8 Programmer's Reference.

This book only covers OO4O and ADO is is a bit more up to date. It was just released November 28.

You might be interested in Oracle Technet's OLE DB (ADO) beta. You can download that at technet.oracle.com. The Oracle ADO is capable of returning server side cursors.

For more information about OO4O goto...

Good Luck!
