Re: [cx-oracle-users] DLL Error - python 2.4, Oracle 8.1.7, cx_Oracle 4.1.2, Win XP SP2

[JP G. <jpg...@gm...>]

Thanks Anthony!

The problem is that I don't have the versions mismatched, as far as I can
tell. We are running Oracle 8i, specifically version 8.1.7. So my cxOracle
version matches the server version perfectly. The problem seems to be that
it does not match the oci.dll file, which may be out of date (it is from
1999, and I am not sure when version 8.1.7 of Oracle came out).

Is there any way to run a test against the oci.dll file? Using a different
program? TOAD, or something?

Thanks,
JP
