Re: Java vs. VB6?

in short, yes you can still use vb against 8i. you can think of jdbc as being synonymous to odbc. if you're programming in java then using jdbc to connect to a db is probably the way to go. it provides a consistent set of api's to connect to a backend db just like odbc.

better yet, why not just try a small vb6 example app against 8i. oracle is not going to lock out the millions of vb developers that are out there.
