Hi Mohammad,

Your point about SQL*Net being the difference between ODBC-clients and native Oracle clients is not quite correct. ODBC clients use a homogeneous API set across all backends. Native Oracle clients use the OCI/UPI layer to an Oracle backend.

All the ODBC driver-manager does is to load the vendor-specific driver for a particular datasource and then route the generic ODBC API calls to that driver. This driver issues the aapropriate native API calls -- in our case OCI/UPI. At this level this is just "another" Oracle client application. SQL*Net is involved in all cases.
