EpOraLibrary

Visual C++ Oracle OCI Wrapper Library

DESCRIPTION

As many people have experienced Oracle OCCI Library's incompatibilities, and problems in many cases such as

• Unicode environment.
• Visual C++ Projects, that are linked with MFC Libraries.
• Visual C++ Projects linked with other multiple libraries.
• etc.

EpOraLibrary solves such issues, and makes it easier for Visual C++ developers to use Oracle Database Operation within their development projects. EpOraLibrary is a custom wrapper library of Oracle OCI Library under a MIT License. It supports Visual C++ 2005/2008/2010/2012. Source can be downloaded at EpOraLibrary

• No more linking problems, stated above.
• Supports full ASCII/Unicode development environment.
• Similar operation convention used as Oracle OCCI Library
  • People can be easily adapted to EpOralibrary.
• Easy installation
  • No need to install any Oracle installation for the development.
  • See Installation Section below for the detail.

Installation

• Link EpOraLibrary.lib and EpOraLibrary Header folders in your project.
• Add oci.dll, orannzsbb10.dll, oraocci10.dll, and oraociei10.dll to the same folder where your project executable exists.
• Done!

(** You may be required to install Oracle Client in case of using TNS Name, or other advanced functionalities that this library does not support.)

Note

• EpOraLibrary is tested on OracleDB 10g (Windows XP 32bit, and Windows7 32bit) only.
