How to connect Oracle database from Active Server page

Question

Hi
This is srinivas aluri
I have developed an application using ASP and MS-SQL7.
Now i want to port this application to Oracle 8i database
I have written my connection in seperate file called
connection.inc using SQL OLEDB provider
If i have to connect oracle database what will be my provider
and what is the exact code for this connection string
Here i am giving the code of SQL databse connection string
strcon= Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User
ID=sa;Initial Catalog=prjdb;Data Source=servername
i have tried by changing the provider name from SQLOLEDB.1 to
OraOLEDB.oracle
but i could not able connect the database.
It is giving provider not found or not properly installed error.
But the same code is perfectly working from Visual Basic code.

Answer 1

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.
