Re: C++ connection to Oracle

I wrote a C++ wrapper around OCI 8 some time ago. It is a bit of a bear to use and understand all of the various handles and relationships. I just started playing with the Oracle C++ class library for OLE db. Very nice, very straightforward. I would recommend this. I really like pro*c but loosing the context sensitive coloring in VC++ and having your errors show up in a different file than what you are coding in (the post pro*c compiled .c/.cpp files) makes maintenance and debugging a little difficult.

Thanks,
