Connect to Oracle without Oracle Client in Windows?

336142Sep 20 2003 — edited Oct 5 2003

Hi All,
Is there anyway to connect to Oracle DB without any installation of Oracle Product in Client?
I am using MS ODBC Driver Oracle but It need the "Data Source Name"
It seems that client machine do need to Setup the NET 8 Configure / Tnsname.ora
I can try to set any thing in Oracle Server, But want to minimize the effort doing on the client (Because there are many!).
I am using Visual Basic, WIN XP as client Platform. WIN 2K as Oracle DB Server.

Can anybody give me a hand. Thank you very much!

Eric Yuen
