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

[Philip S. <phi...@cg...>]

Sorry but no :-(

cx_Oracle-4.0.1-win32-9i-py23 did'nt work with either the 9i or 81 
version of oci.dll, and cx_Oracle-4.0.1-win32-8i-py23 works with both 9i 
and 81 version of the DLL...
(I switch from one DLL to the other by renaming the one I don't want to 
Aci.dll).

So I will go on like this for the moment...

Thanks,

Philip.
