Hi Everybody
can anyone suggest me the best way that how to start coverting earlier 7x OCI calls into 9x.
Actually my earlier code is using all the header files as well API's of 7x , but as now revamping of system is needed so what i need is to convert all 7x oci in C++ code and change header files also to accomodate the new changes .
The platform which i m using is Solaris ,C++,Oracle
Please can anybody suggest me some good sites or help in this regard.
The major problem i m facing is that in earlier API's and new API's is parameter differnce. how to resolve it
Thanks & Regards
Syoci

Hello,
Please note that all the OCI7 calls are still
available in 10g to support backward compatibility.
Unfortunatly Oracle wrotes in Oracle 8 OCI Programmers Guide that OCI7 will sometimes in the future desupported - one indication is the ORA-3113 when conecting from SQL*Plus 9.2 and higher to Oracle 7.X server
Due to the Fact that OCI7 on the one side and OCI8 and higher on the other side are totally different I would suggest to migrate directly to 10g and use instead OCI the OCCI (Oracle C++ Call Interface) which encapsulates the OCI8/9/10 calls in some 30 classes and reduce code dramatically - seen factor 10 shorter. And if you really need OCI8/9/10 functions you can obtain server, context and other handles by invoking methods in Environemt Class of OCCI.
Think about it - C++ instead C - inlining instead ugly defines - short code (comparable to OCI7 complexity)
