The OCILIB library :

- offers a rich, full featured and easy to use API

- encapsulates OCI (Oracle Call Interface)
- is the most complete available OCI wrapper

Code: Select all

That would be very useful

Greetings ... Kiffi

[IdeasVacuum]

+10 Very good idea

[RomanR]

+ 10 I need this feature very much (ODBC is not convenient, TNSNAMES.ORA on Client-PCs available ...)

This would move PB ahead of the .Net world with regards to enterprise based applications.

If you need someone to help test this I'd be glad to help. I am Oracle Certified (OCP 11g, 10g, 9i) and a published Oracle author. I am at your service.

Keep this wish alive guys. It could really be profound. Being able to connect directly to Oracle WITHOUT ODBC or JDBC would be a huge feature for PB. Hey, PHP and other languages have an OCI connection method - it is time for PB to have it!

[Michael42]

Keep this feature request alive please.

Thanks.

I don't think, pb will native support a LGPL Lib. Only Public Domain, MIT ...

at the moment i use also ODBC for connection to oracle.
It will be very nice if we can have a native orackle lib in PB.

@PB Team please include this one!

[Michael42]

Can anyone comment as to if work has started on adding this feature?

I'd be glad to help test this.

Thanks!

Michael

...it's a two years old post, can't believe how quickly those two years have flown by. Support for Oracle would be a very fine enhancement as Oracle is popular in the manufacturing industry.

Please Fred & freak, add this.
If you need help with it please let me know.
But please make it happen.

[nicolaus]

@ Fred & freak

can you give us a short statment about this fearure request?

Thanks,
Nico

[Fred]

It's LGPL, so we can't include it in PB as a static lib. You should still be able to access it with importc/endimport.
