Running C++ application
715920Nov 4 2009 — edited Nov 6 2009Dear experts,
I'm learning to write C++ application that connects to Oracle DB. Currently I have Oracle XE 10.2 and Visual C++ 2008 running on Windows XP home. Currently I'm reading the OCCI doc and got a difficulty to decide what kind of application I need to install. Questions:
1. Should I install Instant Client or Pro C/C++ precompiler? The reason I'm considering installing Instant Client because it is said that OCCI 10.2 can integrated with Visual C++ ver 7. It doesn't say anything about version 2008. Will this be a problem if I run Visual 2008 on XP 10.2?
2. I assume that OCCI is part of XE, is this correct? If yes, does this mean I don't need the precompiler?
3. Despite all the questions, any suggestion what is the best way?
Much appreciated,
Valerie
