Re: Good C/C++ Development Tools

If you are interested in C++ objects for Oracle, you are welcome at http://www.webvalue.com; our C++ libraries are based on OCI and compiled with g++ on Sparc Solaris 2.5 for Oracle 7.3.2. We have implemented a lot of code using those objects - they offer a lot of advantages over Pro*C.

Sincerely

Vlad Stavitsky
