hi to all! it's ages now that i'm looking for a good method for determining the exact oci version installed and/or used and i'm still looking.
is there someone out there who has found "the" solution on how to correctly determine the used oci version and want to share this information with us ? do make it a little more clear what i'm looking for: since oracle 7.3 (i believe) the oracle oci dll's do no longer need to be linked with the exact version name but a generic dll (ociw32.dll) looks for the most current oci version that can be found on the workstation. this process is quite nicely described in the oracle note "43972.1". so far so good but by doing so, the application using the ociw32.dll does no longer know what the exact version of oci is. even if dynamically (LoadLibrary) loading the "low-level" oracle dll called by ociw32.dll (e.g.. ora805.dll for oci version 8.0.5) it would be possible to know that we are running 8.0.5 but this would no longer work with 8i where all 8i oci versions call the same dll named "oraclient8.dll". thank you for your help -do -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
