Connecting to Oracle 11g

Post by Nols Smit » Wed 30 Oct 2013 13:08

Hi,

By using TUniConnection and the TOracleUniProvider components, is it possible to access an Oracle database on a remote server without using a ODC driver installed on my PC?

On another PC without the Oracle driver installed, I get a error of an missing oci.dll upon connecting.

When I connect to a remote FireBird database, using TUniConnection and TInterBaseUniProvider, I connect using the server's IP address without any additional drivers installed on my PC.

Regards,

Nols Smit

Hello,

UniDAC doesn't require ODBC for its work. You can work with the Oracle DB in two modes: OCI - Oracle client is required to be installed, Direct - direct connection to DB, no additional software is required (client, ODBC, etc.).
