We want to distribute this application and it would be preferable if our users didn't have to install additional Oracle drivers. The app is written in Delphi 5, but we can convert to Delphi 2005 if needed. thanks, jp Back to top Martijn Tonies Guest Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 3:22 pm    Post subject: Re: Oracle Connectivity Quote: Is there a neat way of embedding oracle connectivity into a Delphi app without the need for installing the Oracle client software?

This can connect to Oracle via TCP/IP without the need to install the Oracle client. -- With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL, Oracle & MS SQL Server Upscene Productions http://www.upscene.com Database development questions?

Like what? As I mentioned earlier - the Oracle XMLType, using any object types, some BLOb operations with parameters (although a recent version has this extended after I asked for it). There's a chapter in the Help about this, although - as far as I read - it didn't mention "xmltype". Probably because, under the hood, this is an Oracle object type. -- With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL, Oracle & MS SQL Server Upscene Productions http://www.upscene.com Database development questions?
