I am trying to modify an existing (ASP) weblication from using MSSQLServer to Oracle.
I have run into several problems.
- The NUMBER datatype comes through fine in JavaScript, but needs to be specifically cast to number in VBScript using cInt(rs("fldName"))
- I cannot modify a value like this...
...
var t=rs("Index"); rs("Index")+=1; rs.Update();
...
this will upset the Oracle driver a great deal. - the ODBC drivers plus the Oracle client end up being quite weighty for an install. It looks like Oracle is stealing programmers from the Code-Bloat division at Microsoft.
Will Oracle ever write a thin ODBC driver, a single DLL would be nice, but somewhere under 10M would be acceptable.
