OCI 7 does not need any modification to support 8 and 9 but they aren't as powerful, thus should only be used for Oracle 7. OCI8 is the 8th OCI and fully supports Oracle 8 with and Oracle 9. For Oracle 9 there are a few thing that are missing, but overall can be safely used on high level

Your machine will need the Oracle headers which are included in Oracle Client. So, in two words - your machine needs Oracle client installed. Try doing: echo $ORACLE_HOME in your command prompt -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dan Field [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote... : On Tue, 2002-11-12
