You can make OCI calls directly in C++ code. However, I would recommend building/buying a good framework which hides the complexity of OCI from the C++ programmer. It is not very efficient to have to teach every developer OCI. Also you don't want to be thinking about OCI details while writing application code any more that you would want to juggle the Windows API or Mac toolbox while developing the application. OCI is the appropriate tool to use with C++ however. Trying to implement a C++ class library with Pro*C would be a disaster. Received on Wed Oct 19 1994 - 00:30:02 CET
