Hi gentlemen,

I wondered why, under VC++ 6, this line compiles :
OCIDateGetDate( dt, &year, &month, &day );

and not this one :
::OCIDateGetDate( dt, &year, &month, &day );

NB : the others OCI functions with the global namespace accessor "::"
compile in my code, of course.

Clues such as the compiler error message might help?

You're right... )
For ligne 155 ==
::OCIDateGetDate( dt, &year, &month, &day );

the error messages are :
D:\Dev\CPP\testOCI\TestDynaset.cpp(155) : error C2589: '{' : illegal
token on right side of '::'
D:\Dev\CPP\testOCI\TestDynaset.cpp(155) : error C2143: syntax error :
missing ';' before '::'
D:\Dev\CPP\testOCI\TestDynaset.cpp(155) : error C2143: syntax error :
missing ';' before '{'

OCIDateGetDate is not a global function, it's a macro, see the definition in
oci/include/orl.h. As a result, putting "::" in front of it causes syntax
errors once it's been expanded.
