There are several ways to connect to Oracle 9i from VB 6.

aparnesh
Junior Poster You can use a ODBC connection or use ADO (ActiveX Data
Offline Objects). For Remote servers, you can also use RDO.

since Jul 2005 There is no general 'best solution' and the best method for
connectivity depends on the particular situation and specifications.

For Connecting via ADO to Oracle , you will need to have either
aparnesh
Junior Poster the Oracle 9i Client Software installed in the client machines or
Offline create an ODBC data source. I usually prefer having the Oracle

client installed, as it avoids having to create ODBCs.
since Jul 2005

To connect via ADO, you will need to specify the Connection

parameters including server name, User Name and Password. The
Code is like

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

1.
2. Dim ConnString as string
3. ConnString = "Provider=MSDAORA.1 ;
Password=myPassword; User ID=myUser ; Data
Source = ORCL; Persist Security Info=True"
4. '// Where ORCL is the Oracle Service you are
trying to connect
5. Dim objConn as new ADODB.Connection
6. objConn.open ConnString

This will create a connection to the specified Oracle service,

using the user name and password to login.

If you are planning to use ADO, please look up a book or MSDN

for explanation of the parameters and how to use them.

Hi Aparnesh thanks for replying.i have oracle 9i installed. actually
the project i am doing is a company store management and i have
to complete it till feb.and now i am confused whether i should use
oracle as a back end or MS-Access.bcoz i have heard that if the
connection is not properly set up with oracle then it can create
problems.so what should i go for oracle or access?bcoz at the end
moment it should not create any problems infront of external. do u
have e-mail id . waiting for ur reply.bye

If this is a student project and you are free to use any database
aparnesh
Junior Poster you prefer, you should use whichever you are more comfortable with.
Offline If this is a commercial project, you should take into consideration

189 posts how the client will use it, number of concurrent users, expected
since Jul 2005 number of records to be stored etc.

I generally prefer Access for small commercial projects, which run as

in a stand-alone machine (for small shop's sales counters, for
example). For larger projects or for projects which are designed for
multiple users, I use Oracle or mySQL depending on client's
budget.

Till now, I haven't really faced any big connection related problems
regarding Oracle-ADO-VB scenario. But if you are not

familiar/comfortable with Oracle , you must have the

assistance/guidance of someone who knows Oracle well. If you
do not have any such resource, it would be better not to use
Oracle .
