Sorry for the delayed response. I had to make Oracle connection work ASAP yesterday, so I simply installed DBD::ODBC and used the Oracle ODBC driver. Today, I checked the IC SDK 'include' folder and found all those function headers (and many more) in ociap.h. The compiler does include that folder in its list. What else may cause those errors?

    John,

    thanks for your comments. I have successfully installed
    DBD::Oracle on a Windows 7 (64-bit) box, but used both 32-bit
    Strawberry Perl and Oracle instant client. That may be the way for
    me to go, unless I can make the 64-bit stuff work together.

    I do have the Oracle instant clent SDK folder in the
    E:/app/Dna_Admin/product/11.2.0/client_1/instantclient_11_2
    directory with all the goodies, which apparently doesn't help
    much. Yes, the flags you mention (ORA_OCI_102 and ORA_OCI_112) are
    set in the Makefile. Where should I look for those command files
    that you refer to?

    Thanks again,


They would or should be part of the .dll

You might be able to look at the dll and see if the commands are there? I can't remember how to do that off hand long time ago since my VB days.

The are usually in the .h files as well. Try just a text search of any .h files in that client.

You might want to try the 10 IC and see if it works with that one.

Cheers
