Oracle OLEDb

Is it possible to have the Oracle OLEDB or ODAC drivers for 8i and 10g
installed on the same machine?

If so, is there a way to select oracle home's between 8i and 10g?

I have an application written in VB6 against an 8.1.7 database. The
database is being migrated to 10g on a separate server. My client would
like to run in parallel for a few weeks entering and querying the same
data from both servers. The application has been recompiled using the
10g OLEDB/ODAC drivers and needs to run on the same machine as the
application compiled against the 8i OLEDB drivers.

I feel that I am missing something fairly basic. But the 10g ODAC
install corrupts the 8i Client install and the old application is then
unable to connect to the 8i database until all Oracle components are
uninstalled and removed from the registry.

Is there any way to make these 2 versions play nicely together?

Thanks in advance for any help.

My machine is Windows XP with Oracle 9.2 Home; IIS and Oracle are in the same box. I have tried both Oracle OLEDB Provider and Microsoft ODBC For Oracle, but both not working. For Microsoft ODBC For Oracle approach, I added a data source in Oracle Data Source Administrator, in System DSN tab, I created a system data source named OracleDSN with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle.

A bug I noticed which doesn't seem to be posted on usenet, nor recognized by Oracle (who didn't want to help unless we had been using their ADO.NET provider...): We used to retrieve the sequence id, mysequence.nextval, into ADO.NET. This was returned as a decimal and so we cast it directly to a decimal. However, when we upgraded the Oracle database to 10g, the code broke because the value thus returned was then a double (which .NET...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
