Default Oracle and Pro*C - 06-05-2008 , 11:13 AM






Hello,

I maintain an application using Pro*C programs to access to an Oracle
database.
For the moment, programs and datas are together located on the same
server... but, in the case of an architecture "client-
server" (application located on a server, database located on another
one), is it necessary to install an Oracle client (librairies...) on
the application server to communicate with the database server ?

In others words : Are executables generated from Pro*C API need to
work with Oracle librairies in local ? Or, these executables are self-
working, not needing to access to Oracle functions locally based ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your answers.

Sebastien

Yes, you'll need the oracle client for the platform where the client
application is.

HTH.

Cheers.

application is.
.... unless you link the program statically.
But that's usually a bad idea, as it turns any kind of software update
into a nightmare.
