UseOracleDatabase()

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Looks like a REALLY popular wish!

Are there any plans to make this real?

Thanks.

You have not read the thread?
PureBasic 5.73 | SpiderBasic 2.30 | Windows 10 Pro (x64) | Linux Mint 20.1 (x64)
Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.

UseOracleDatabase()

Post by HanPBF »

Hello

there are two more problems:
- OCI.dll needs at least the instant client with ~75MB
- ORACLE seems not give away interface to connect to DB

I hate those things in forums like "why don't You use Linux instead on Windows..." but
concerning ORACLE...

OCI.dll works and it is possible to write it to disc from IncludeBinary; after copy'n'paste/distribute portable PB program, import and use functions from OCI.dll.
So I will also do with the instant client itself...

DevArt found a solution with ODAC; but I don't know how...
So, PB team can not embed it in PB due to license and technical issues.

They changed to APACHE-2 Licence. How about now?
