CONNECTING TO ORACLE SERV

Carl.Hoan>I'm planning to write Windows C++ programs using Borland C++ 3.1 to access

Carl, you need a product called SQL*Net for the particular protocol you are running between client and server - e.g., if it's the Oracle NLM, you need SQL*Net for SPX. This is usually shipped for DOS clients as part of the server piece. You also need either Pro*C, the Oracle precompiler, or a third-party class library that can talk to SQL*Net. I have heard (this is unsubstantiated) that Rogue Wave's db.h++ will do this, and I know they write for Borland's compiler. Give 'em a call.
