Hi toby,
If it doesn't need to be database independent then there must be many
efficient ways to code a C application against Oracle/{your db}.
True... that's why OCILIB exists :)
But implementing an underlying DB layer in a database independent framework
can be in tricky (for example : Oracle,
Hi Christian,
Few hints about the actual Oracle driver :
- it cannot compile with a C90 compiler (one line of code to fix to make it
compile).
- LONG type is handled as an integer instead of a character based type
- only few types are handled and all types mapped as strings
- numeric types are
Hi Vincent,
You do what is easiest for you, personally iI would like if the
current driver using oracle OCI would be fixed but it is not up to me,
as I am not going to write it, but it feels kosher for libdbi to use
the database own library.
There is a list of things I wanted to do in the
Hi markus,
I'm coming back about an ocilib based Oracle driver for libdbi.
About FreeBSD, There's no official support or package from Oracle Corp.
A port has been done and seems to work. The last few weeks, i was in contact
with an italian that tried to port OCILIB to FreeBSD.
OCILIB compiles

If a C driver has to use exotics and slow behaviors to work, what's the
point ?
