Hi:

Is there any way to get connected with an Oracle server without installing
the 200MB Oracle Client. Some kind of driver?

Oledb, Odbc, *db*?

I'm using the 8i version. Is it possible under the 9i version?

Thanks
 
Hi Daniel,

Only if there is a 3rd party provider out there (i don't know any so far)
that does all the job itself.
As a workaround you might implement n-tier application where all the
database i/o is done on server.

Not if your are connecting from a desktop application.

The third party solution, which doesn't require the client, is DataDirect Connect for .NET:

Hi Paul,

Great link. I saw that once but I've forgot about it.
Do you have any experience with this provider?

I haven't used it personally, although it's been mentioned by Bob Beauchemin and Bill Vaughn before.
