I am attempting to convert a C program from OCI 7 to OCI 8i, but I have hit a snag.

When I try to compile a program containing '#include "oci.h"', the compile bombs in the oratypes.h module with several errors referring to the 'text' identifier; the first one is:

H:\orant\OCI\INCLUDE\oratypes.h(277) : error C2378: 'text' : redefinition; symbol cannot be overloaded with a typedef.

This error occurs in the following section of oratypes.h:

#if !defined(LUSEMFC)
# ifdef lint
# define text unsigned char
# else

typedef OraText text; /* This line causes error */
# endif
#endif

Please help.

Thanks, David
