There are free drivers from Oracle and Microsoft. They have different
behaviors. One will fail, under certain conditions, where the other will
not. Use the one that works for you. There is a third party driver that
works under all conditions but you have to pay for it. I don't remember
the name of the vendor but our client was unwilling to pay for it since
Oracle provided a free driver.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Are you just trying to setup an ODBC conenction?
In Control Panel, you should see an icon for an ODBC manager where you can
add dns entries . You STILL will need to install Oracle client. Use the
db alias name for the Service name in the ODBC setup.
On 95, I believe that there are 2 sets of Oracle ODBC drivers, one put out
by Oracle and the other by Microsoft..... funny but I remember we had to
use the Microsoft drivers because we had problems with the Oracle ones.....
That's all I really remember, but feel free to get me off list for more
specifics if you need them.

Subject: Oracle ODBC On Windows95 (Don't ask) :)
I need to setup a ODBC connection to an Oracle 8.1.7 database
over TCP/IP where the Client PC's are running Windows 95 (Old
clunkers)
Anyone know what I need to do for this? Can I use the 7.3 ODBC
drivers written for Windows95 for connection to a 8.1.7?
I've never done this before and can't find any clear answers
about it on Oracles website.
Would be immensly gratefull for an answer of any kind, even
if it is a "no-can do", then I would know that I dont have
to put any more effort into this :)
Thanks!
