It isn't as black and white as this. It depends what you're doing. The nice thing about OCI is that you can write tight C code and not have to deal with the quirks of the precompiler. There may be some performance improvement too. There's not a really big learning curve if you know relational databases, dynamic sql etc. Received on Mon Oct 14 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
