Re: [cx-oracle-users] OCI.DLL cannot be found ?

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

This is definitely an Oracle client issue -- the server software is 
irrelevant, actually. In general, make sure that if you are running 
Oracle 8i on the client you are using the Oracle 8i version of cx_Oracle 
and if you are running Oracle 9i on the client make sure you are using 
the Oracle 9i version of cx_Oracle. As mentioned earlier, the only 
exception is Oracle 9.0.1 which doesn't have the required procedure. 
Make sense?
