Database Driver and References


To create ODBC Driver

1) Goto Control Panel, select "ODBC Data Sources" or something similar to that.
2) Click on "Add"
3) From the list, select Driver for Oracle, Click "Finish"
4) It'll ask for Data Source Name, User and Host.
    For Name, give some name(the name you give here will be used in the code) In my code, I've given 'ora'.
    For User - give your oracle username
    For Host, give your hostname (blank if using a home computer and no host is configured)
5) Click OK! and you are done! Data Source Driver Created!


To Create "References" and to use the ADODB control.

1) In Visual Basic, Goto the menu, Projects > References
2) Select Microsoft OLE ActiveX Data Objects Library 1.0
3) Click Ok! You are done!
Note : Externally, no controls will be added in the toolbox, but the functions will be available when you type the code as drop down tool tips.
