Hello,

we use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 to develop application for several databases. In general we use ODBC to access oracle 7.3 and 8.x. Are there any advantages to access oracle directly using sql*net's api without using odbc? At the moment we have to install an odbc-driver on every NT-machine on which our applications runs. If we could access oracle directly this wouldn't be longer necessary.

How could we access sql*net from our program? Are there any documentation available somewhere?

Thanks
