- Update of the ODBC Oracle Driver
- ================================
- September 1993
-
-
- This driver is only for use by registered owners of Microsoft
- Access v1.1 and Visual Basic for Windows v3.0 - Professional
- Edition. By downloading these files, you are indicating that
- you own one of these two products.
-
-
- What does the update do for you
- -------------------------------
- This update to the ODBC Oracle Driver removes the 2000 character
- limitation for SQL statements. The original ODBC Oracle driver
- would not allow the queries, or SQL statements, to exceed 2000
- characters in length. For more information on this issue, please
- refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article #Q102525, "ORA6WIN.DLL
- Does Not Allow Lengthy SQL Statements". This can be obtained
- from the MSKB CompuServe forum.
-
- The following two files will actually be updated:
-
- Old New
- SQORA.DLL version: 1.00.2816 version: 1.00.3112
- size: 143,600 bytes size: 144,096 bytes
- date: 4/16/93 date: 7/12/93
-
- SQORASTP.DLL version: 1.00.2403 version: 1.00.3106
- size: 9,328 bytes size: 9,632 bytes
- date: 5/7/93 date: 7/6/93
-
-
- How to install the update
- -------------------------
- (1) Start Windows (if it is not already running).
- a. If you are running Windows 3.1, open Control Panel.
- b. If you are running Windows 3.0 or NT, select the ODBC
- program group.
- (2) Double click on the ODBC icon.
- (3) From the Data Sources dialog, select the Drivers... button.
- (4) From the Drivers dialog, select Add...
- (5) Enter the drive letter and directory from which you are
- installing.
- (6) Choose Oracle from the list of available drivers and select
- OK.
- (7) ODBC setup will install the driver at this point. If an ODBC
- Oracle driver of the same version number or higher exists on
- the hard disk, ODBC setup will ask if you want to replace it.
- In most cases, you will not see this, but always stay with the
- most recent version.
- (8) Choose close and you are done.
-
-
- What did it install
- -------------------
- The ODBC installation installed a new SQORA.DLL, a new
- SQORASTP.DLL, and a new ORACLE.TXT to your Window's system
- directory.
