I can giev you a list of APIs. Choose one of them:
DAO - easy in use, OLE wrapper to Jet engine
will access Oracle by using ODBC
ADO - easy in use, will access Oracle by using ODBC
is intended to be a wrapper of ODBC but also may
call JET engines
ODBC - a bit harder in use but the most portable code to
any databases/platforms/compilers
OCI - is API to access only Oracle databases,
as it is native is better to use this when working
only with Oracle, it is the hardest on using API from
all of listed there
OO4O - is an OLE wrapper to OCI. Much easier on using than
OCI. Also is only for Oracle.
