I am trying to access a oracle 8 database on Sun Solaris from my vc++ program. when i try to register the datasource, it says that it requires oracle networking components. can some say what is the exact solution to my problem. I did this with odbc. i tried with ado also. it results in the same error(even without registering the datasource i.e by giving the driver name)
Any suggestion will be of valuable help.
The error message is probably accurate. As far as I've been able to tell, you do need to install the Oracle Net80 software, corresponding Protocol driver (TCP/IP, IPX, etc), and the Oracle Call Interface (OCI). Then, you need to set up the Oracle datasource by running the Easy Config utility. All of this is on the Oracle8 Client installation CD.
