Hi!

   If you do OCI programming, from an NT station, you don't need much. For example, our OCI/OCX 32 bit product, when use on a Windows NT Workstation (or Server) you simply need 4 DLL, ie:
ORA7NT.DLL
CORENT.DLL
MSVCRT10.DLL
SQLNMPNT.DLL (This is for named pipes support, it is another different one for TCP/IP support).

If you want to try our SQL-Sombrero/OCX for OCI, simply go to http://www.sfi-software.com and download it for free testing.

Hope this can help.
