Do queries to an Oracle server made from programs written in VB5 have to be passed through the JET database engine on the local machine (which means the engine
has to be there?) or is there a way to send queries directly to Oracle? How do the drivers provided by the Oracle client and the one that VB can install compare with one another?
Safer to go with the Oracle one? What about distributing the app to relatively lean client machines?

How do you interface a VB app directly with an ORACLE server? dao? rdo? odbc? activeX?

Thanks for entertaining my questions. Received on Sat Aug 29 1998 - 01:29:58 CEST
