in short, yes you can still use vb against 8i. you can think of jdbc as being synonymous to odbc. if you're programming in java then using jdbc to connect to a db is probably the way to go. it provides a consistent set of api's to connect to a backend db just like odbc.
better yet, why not just try a small vb6 example app against 8i. oracle is not going to lock out the millions of vb developers that are out there.
