The Oracle8 ODBC Driver enables ODBC Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and
Windows NT X86 applications read and write access to Oracle databases through
the ODBC interface using Net8¿software through which third party network
transports such as Microsoft LAN Manager, Novell NetWare, Banyan VINES, DECnet, or
any TCP/IP network are supported.
The Oracle8 ODBC Driver uses the Oracle Call Interface™ (OCI) client and server software to submit requests to and receive responses
from the data source. Net8 communications protocol is used for communications
between the OCI client and the Oracle server.
The Oracle8 ODBC Driver translates ODBC SQL syntax into syntax that can be
used to access the data source. When the results are returned from the data
source, the Oracle8 ODBC Driver translates them back to ODBC SQL syntax.
The ODBC application/ODBC driver architecture is:
The Oracle8 ODBC Resource file (sqresxx.dll), where xx represents the
language abbreviation, contains all pertinent language information and is shared by
this DLL; the default resource file used is sqresus.dll.
For more information about the OCI client and server software, refer to the
OCI documentation.
