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

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

Interesting. What client version are you using, exactly? You wouldn't 
happen to be using 9.0.1, would you? The 9i version of cx_Oracle will 
not work with an 8i client at all but it should work with a 9i client -- 
we've never noticed otherwise, anyway. Regardless, if you have it 
working now, no need to continue this thread except from curiousity, of 
course! ;-)
