I have worked with people who have done this. RDO has a nasty bug when used with Oracle - it opens two sessions for each connection and only closes one. You have to explicitly write code to close the otehr session. (This is how it was explained to me - forgive any mis-statements.) With one programmer I spoke with, Microsoft's response was to explicitly denied any problems with RDO and Oracle.

One programmer, after writing their app and encountering this problem, switched to Oracle Objects. No problems, and performance that was just as good. Received on Sat Oct 19 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
