ODAC Std & ODAC.Net

Hi,

I cannot install both versions of ODAC on BDS-2006?

I have installed the ODAC std (for Delphi-2006) which works fine.

I wanted to install the ODAC.Net and the installer complains that another version is already installed?

Does this mean we cannot mix & match based on need?

If this is the case, is there a way of using ODAC std to connect to Oracle directly without using OCI.DLL?

Is "OraSession1.Options.Net := True" supported in ODAC std?

Many Thanks
Shahine

There is no need to install both versions of ODAC because ODAC Net includes functionality as ODAC Std and additionally has capability to connect without Oracle Client installed.
