Oracle-ODBC Provider

[smuehlfeld]

Hi,

I work with VB6 and an Oracle-database. Until now I use OLE with the following code :

Set cn = New ADODB.Connection

With cn
.Provider = "OraOLEDB.Oracle.1" 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB
.CommandTimeout = 15
.Properties("Data Source") = "u8"
.Properties("User ID") = "test"
.Properties("Password") = "test"
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
End With

cn.Open

And now I want to try, how the connection via ODBC works, but I don't know, how I can call the Oracle-ODBC-Provider.

Please help me,

Sascha

You will have to include this in the connectionstring property (and leave away the provider property)

DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle ->MDAORA

oConn.Open "Provider=msdaora;" & _
"Data Source=OracleServer.world;" & _
"User Id=carl;" & _
"Password=;"



Oracle(Oracle)

For Standard Security:

oConn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;" & _
"User Id=carl;" & _
"Password=;"

For a Trusted Connection:

oConn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;" & _
"User Id=/;" & _
"Password=;"
' Or

oConn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;" & _
"OSAuthent=1;"


Note: "Data Source=" must be set to the appropriate Net8 name which is known to the naming method in use. For example, for Local Naming, it is the alias in the tnsnames.ora file; for Oracle Names, it is the Net8 Service Name.


'Oracle8
GetConnectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=" & paswoord & ";User ID=" & user & _
";Data Source=" & server & ";Persist Security Info=True"

Hi,

I know, that "OraOLEDB.Oracle" is the OLE-Provider for Oracle, but I don't know, what is the ODBC-Provider for Oracle (and from Oracle).
