• accessLib: If you are using DLLs or shared libraries, provide the name of the shared library or DLL; for example, oci8012d.dll. See the document Building Your Applications for information about naming conventions. If you are using a static library, supply the string ORACLE_OCI.

• serviceName: Supply the Oracle service name for your connection; ask your DBA for assistance.

• userName: Supply the user name of a valid Oracle user.

• passWord: Supply the password for the user.

• databaseName: Empty string.

Here are two examples of opening a database in an Oracle OCI service. In the first example, the accessLib is defined as ORACLE_OCI, indicating that the application must be linked with the static version of the Access Module:

RWDBManager::database("ORACLE_OCI", "INHOUSE", "cratchitt", "scrooge", "");

The second example shows how to open the same database from a Windows application. In this case, the accessLib is defined as oci8012d.dll, which indicates that the application will dynamically load the Access Module at runtime:

RWDBManager::database("oci8012d.dll", "INHOUSE", "cratchitt", "scrooge", "");
