Connecting to Oracle8i with ODBC?

[John]

Does anyone have an example of how to connect to an Oracle 8i DB and run a
simple select through ODBC? What DLLs should I need?
Assume that the PC where the web werver's at only has the .Net framework and
Oracle8i installed.

John,

I don't know much about oracle, but I think that there is a managed
provider or an Ole-Db provider that you can use to get data. If this is the
case, then why don't you just use the classes in the System.Data.OleDb
namespace or other Oracle-specific classes for your data access?

Hope this helps.
