In addition to ODBC, DAO, etc, there is also embedded SQL. You can use an oracle product called Oracle Pro-C/C++ to access Oracle through embedded SQL. The C/C++ program will contain SQL statements, and have a .pc extension. Then you precompile the source code (.pc) into Pro-C/C++ and get .c or .cpp. Then you use your CPP compiler to do the rest.
This method will work on as many platforms as Oracle supports.
Performance is good.
Maintenance is tedious having to precompile before compiling.
Learning curve took me a week just by reading and trying it out.
