Hi!

I'm slowly starting to learn OCI, after some background in ODBC. The first thing I'm trying to figure out is if there is a formal makefile to run OCI programs. I found one in the distribution that seems to work, but it has a lot of targets that seem to re-build the entire Oracle server.

The make file seems to work on an HP-UX machine, but the equivalent one does not work on a Solaris machine. (this is a multi-platform environment I'm in).

Additionally, how does one specifiy a database to actually connect to? In ODBC, there was a data source name that took care of all of that, but I can't figure out how this works in OCI.

Thanks for your help!
