Erik, OCI is a "Yes & No" issue right now. Basically, I have not removed the functionality from the server, therefore it should still work exactly how it did in Witango 5.5 (that means that it's compatible with the 8i OCI drivers). That said, I have removed it from the list of officially supported technologies simply due to time constraints. Also, the new Studio does not support it and we recommend JDBC for development.
Since we are fully supporting JDBC and testing with Oracle 10/11 via JDBC, this is the configuration that we are officially supporting. So, if you would like to upgrade to version 6, your applications should work without change using OCI and 8i drivers. But as you migrate software forward on the Witango 6.x platform, moving to JDBC will be recommended. This is especially true if you want to use newer drivers and/or have full support. Whether or not we go back to supporting OCI and possibly other native drivers is still up in the air. Because all DMBS have either ODBC or JDBC support (and usually both) these technologies are our primary focus right now. Robert PS. Feel free to request a Free License of version 6 and test it out. -----Original Message----- From: er...@mac.com [mailto:er...@mac.com] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 12:02 PM To: Witango-Talk@witango.com Subject: Witango-Talk: OCI Support in OS X Server? It's been ages since I wrote to this list, so forgive if I'm a little behind the times. Am I reading correctly that OCI support was dropped in Witango OS X Server 6? We're considering an upgrade, but no OCI is a major shift for us.
