ORAPP is a programmatic API written in C++ around Oracle's OCI8/9 APIs. ORAPP does not use exceptions or RTTI, and so is very small, fast, predictable and easy to read and use. Like its predecessor ORA++, ORAPP was modeled in design after mysql++ and thus should be familiar to those who have used MySQL's C++ Interface.

Read more about the background of ORAPP if you are curious.

Removed ``-O2'' optimizations -- was causing crashes on some compiler toolchains.

Removed instances of ``std::string::clear()'' to accomodate API-incomplete STL implementations.

Added ``stdio.h'' to fix compilation on GCC 2.9x toolchains.

Fix problem with field names not being null-terminated (Bug #861182).

Fix crash when accessing an OOB index value (Bug #861182).

A few example programs are provided to give prospective users an idea of how the library can be used. A more comprehensive set of examples exists within the package distribution as test.cc. Please download the distribution for that and additional documentation.

Please email the author a small note if you successfully compile ORAPP on any platform not listed below. The library itself does not rely on much (if at all) platform-specific functionality, so porting and using it on another platform will likely be as simple as typing ``make''.

• Linux - works on all versions of Linux.
• Mac OS X - MacOS X 10.3x (panther)
• Solaris/SPARC
