Someone in the last few days requested info on connecting as sysdba from VB. I deleted the email at the time but I just downloaded the ODBC driver version 8.1.7.6.0 and found the following: "NEW FEATURES ODBC 8.1.7.6.0
Added support for connection syntax "<username>/<password> as sysdba" and "<username>/<password> as sysoper". The "as sysdba" and "as sysoper" string can also be contained in the password field. (Bug 2114033) Added support for the statement attribute SQL_ATTR_RETRIEVE_DATA. (Bug 2165706)

ODBC 8.1.7.5.0
Added support for <username>/<password> syntax to be used as username to log on. (as requested by Bug 1094170) "

I hope this might be of use and perhaps will work via OCI etc from VB.

HTH,
Bruce Reardon
