Oci is like a dream. I managed in test app to get through the OCI
into the base of pure C code, but in C I not know how to write
users application.
Unfortunately, ODBC, despite many attempts I was not able to
connect to the database, and through ADO, you can easily connect.
Problems begin until later.
Maybe ODBC could also be fixed. I can't remember you exact
report ATM, but probably some debugging on your part could
help. I assume ODBC itself is able to connect to Oracle.
If this is so, it should be possible from Harbour too.
First probably it would be useful to test pure Harbour-less
ODBC to Oracle access than move on to hbodbc.
1) I guess Oracle forums should help to establish Oracle ODBC
connection.
2) We had some discussion about OCI in June. I've downloaded Oracle
Client, but server download is 1.7GB size. I do not want to install
such amount of code just for developing SDDOCI/SDDORA library. If
someone can give access to Oracle server (open firewall ports, give
information how to connect to server via OCI, etc.) for development/
testing purposes, I can help to write RDDSQL driver for it.
I think I'll have to install Oracle 10g (with Academic License) for
other reasons anyway (probably onto a dedicated virtual machine), if
this is done, I'll try to open it for you. Of course unless someone
else jumps in with a quicker / better offer.
Brgds,
Viktor
