I have been assigned to write a program for the company I work for which requires accessing data from the companies ORACLE data base. I have trying to find out how to do this and not having much luck. Here is basically what I know, We currently have a similar application written by a contract programmer that use an ODBC tool that our IT department provides. The program is written VB and am still trying to figure out exactly how it manages to connect to ORACLE. I have the book "Guide for C++ Builder 6 Development" from Samms publisher (not sure of the name but only 1 of 2 books that seem to be available) . I have tried to reade the chapters on database design but find it very confusing, what and where is the data base they are connecting to, etc. Always appears that they are connecting to a database on the current machine and was created use the Borland DB tools. I figure that ADO is way to go with this and I am trying to find out as much as I can from the web about ADO but it is rough going. I would appreciate if any one can help point me in the right direction to find out more and how to exactly connect to ORACLE. Are there any good books or websites, etc or any helpful tips you can give me. Thanks in advance. -- William Riley William_R1 (AT) verifone (DOT) com (916) 630-4040 3755 Atherton Rd Rocklin, CA 95765 Back to top Antaeus Guest Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:43 pm    Post subject: Re: connecting to ORACLE Hello. Have you tried Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) developed by Core Lab? They are fast and convenient. With Net option ODAC allows to connect without Oracle client software installed on workstation. More information about ODAC available on this page: http://crlab.com/odac/. If you encounter any problem using ODAC or have any extra questions, just ask about it on our forum: http://crlab.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=5 Best regards, Antaeus, Core Lab Team (http://crlab.com/) "William Riley" <William_R1 (AT) verifone (DOT) com> wrote in message news:4419e0d0$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
