Delphi 3 and oracle 8 ODBC probs

Hi All,
I have just purchased Delphi 3 professional to use as a front end for my personal oracle 8.0.4. I know Delphi 4 has support for lots of new oracle 8 features, but I'm not interested in all that. Tables, columns, data. That's it.

The problem is that Delphi seems to have a problem with my ODBC connection to my personal oracle 8.0.4. It works, but the list of table choices shown is nonsense - happens in the delphi database explorer too. To elaborate, you may pick an oracle table to base a form on, but the list of tables for a user with only 2 tables might have 10 listings with various mispellings of the name of one of the tables - with no mention of the second table.

The ODBC connection works fine with other tools. ie: the odbc test utility that oracle provide. So I'm wondering if the ODBC interfaces changed enormously between ora 7 and 8. Has anyone had any joy connecting delphi 3 to oracle 8? Thanks
Steve
