Connecting To Oracle By ODBC

[Bystander]

Can anyone suggest where I can find an idiots guide to connecting Pdox 9 to read Oracle 8i? Or failing that a simple guide to using ODBC in Pdox9.

Many thanks

Hi there,

Try Mike Prestwood's "Paradox 9 - Power Programming". It doesnt say much about Oracle, but ODBC is explained in it.

I found this book very helpful. There are chapters online available to read.

Thanks Margot,

I have the book and probably should refer to it a little more.

I came across this article about ODBC and thought it would be of interest for you.

Go to this website,

http://www.rdaworldwide.com/pdoxres.htm

click on 'documents' and scroll down to "Connecting Paradox to ODBC."

Margot,

That is the sort of easy reading that I have been looking for. There are also lots of useful downloads as well.

Many thanks
