[cx-oracle-users] Re: Choosing client libraries

[<pw...@re...>]

Anthony:

Yes, I realize that this is very Windows specific.  I usually have Oracle on Solaris or AIX, but you know which OS is on the client.  Developer tools sometimes do Windows specific things because 1) there are so many of them and 2) the Winodws user (and frequently Windows developers) are least likely to be able to handle technical problems.

Is the source code of the external program part of the cx_Oracle kit?  If so, would it be acceptable if I suggested a patch?  Any hints as to the most relevant filename(s) involved?
