You can connect to Oracle databases using JDBC, ODBC, or the Oracle Call Interface (OCI). EAServer does not include JDBC or ODBC drivers for Oracle or the OCI libraries. EAServer provides dedicated support for Oracle’s proprietary C interface, OCI versions 7, 8, and 9. OCI connections that are cached by EAServer are used like any other OCI connection, except that EAServer opens the connection for you.
You can create Oracle connection caches that use ODBC or JDBC as for any other ODBC or JDBC cache, as described in “Other databases”. For information on how to use an OCI cache in a C or C++ component, see “Using OCI 7.x connection caches” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide.
