We have 1000's of lines of Pro*C code ( from UNIX) that we have incorporated into dll's so that we can use it from Windows applications. Most of our development is in Delphi and we can very easily share the Oracle connection between the dll and our OCI based data access tools in Delphi. This avoids a lot of headaches with multiple connections, locking conflicts, etc.

Now, however, we have a client who is insisting on our using VB for the interface of a new program. Does anyone know of any VB data access tools that will expose the OCI connection? We could probably create an ActiveX control to wrap our Delphi tools, but we'll lose the use of data-aware controls. Received on Tue Jan 06 1998 - 00:00:00 CET
