 Tru using DB_SQLPASSTHROUGH option and pass the Oracle update commadn to the Oracle server. This works fine with Sybase. Also you might consider sotring a static query on the server as a stored procedure and call it with DB_SQLPASSTHROUGH and pass query parameters into stored procedure. This is much faster than straight ODBC.
