I need to connect to Oracle 8.1.5 from PowerBuilder 6.5. What is the exact entry that I should set up for DBMS in the pb.ini file?

I find that for connecting to Oracle 7.3, the setup is
DBMS= O73 Oracle 7.3. This was also part of the Vendor list.

In the pb.ini file, do I have to setup the db name in the Vendor list alone and try to create my database profile from PB 6.5 or should I modify DBMS parameter as well ?

I would like to know the exact syntax that I should use.

I added a vendor 'OR8 Oracle 8.0' to the vendor list and tried to create a db profile from inside PB for this vendor. But I get the following error 'Unable to load the requested Powersoft database interface. Please make sure both the interface and client software are properly installed'.

The dll that I have in my Sybase\shared folder is pbor860.dll. Do I require some other dll for connecting to Oracle 8.1.5?

Thanks in advance,
