I don't know if what you want to do is possible. But I wonder why, with all of the robust tools available from Oracle you would choose to use a product that will likely be eliminated by Microsoft in the near future and a technology, ODBC, that has a reputation for being slow and insecure, to create a new application.
Seems like you are making this about as hard as you possibly could.
