Looks like a REALLY popular wish!
Are there any plans to make this real?
Thanks.

UseOracleDatabase()

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?
