Stefan -
The only thing I know about ODBC drivers is that they seem to come
in two types - those that work and those that don't. When I've encountered
one that doesn't work, I've never been able to make it work. I have succeed
by finding other drivers until I get one that works. Sometimes
Oracle ODBC drivers are fine for SQLPLUS connections through the
TNSNames.ora. If the application needs to move forward and back through
the data returned then we found that you needed the MS ODBC drivers.
The drivers supplied with Oracle 8.1.7 work fine connecting to both
7.3.4 and 8.1.7 databas
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

Install the 8.1.7 client on 95.

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 Wind
Why not use 8i ODBC. I know that 8.1.5 installed on Win95. My guess is that 8.1.7 should too.
If it won't use the 8.1.5 drivers.
