    Default Oracle connection questions

    I have been developing asp in a MS shop for a few years
    and I just changed jobs. My new job is in an Oracle shop.

    The oracle db here said that we needed to put the oracle
    client on the server to connect from an asp page. Is this
    true? I would have just thought we needed oledb drivers?

    Thanks for any input or links

    The OleDb Provider still uses the Oracle Client to connect to the database..

    Ther are 'thin client' ODBC drivers available that use Java-Like connection strings and do not need the client, but, in
    general, to access an Oracle database, the Oracle client must be installed.

    Read all you can about Oracle - it is very unlike SqlServer and Access....

    Try
    [url]http://otn.oracle.com[/url]

    Register ( it is free and does not spam) - it contains docs, technical papers, etc relating to Oracle.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I am downloading the OO4O for Oracle now. I see that they
    are very different.
