VW 5i.2 DLL Versions and Platforms.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

VW 5i.2 on PC/Mac
Machine Operating System Vendor LIB Version Interface Files
PC Win 95/98, NT Oracle OCI 8.0x, 8i ociw32.dll,advapi32.dll
Sybase CT-Lib 11.9.2 libcs.dll,libct.dll
MS SQL ODBC 6.5, 7.0 odbc32.dll
Win 2000 Oracle OCI 8.0x,8.i oci.dll,advapi32.dll
Sybase CT-Lib 11.9.2 libcs.dll,libct.dll
MS SQL ODBC 7.0 odbc32.dll
Linux 5.2, 6.0 Oracle OCI 8.0x, 8i libclntsh.so
Sybase CT-Lib 11.9.2 libsybase.so
PowerMac 7.6,8.0-8.6 Oracle OCI 7.1(Pers Oracle)
Sybase CT-Lib 11
Notes:
(1) Oracle 7.3 users, use ora73.dll instead of ora804.dll in pool var.
(2) Although our product was tested with Sybase CTLib 11.9.2, we limit the interface to level 10.0
functionality. Therefore, the product should still work with CT-Lib 10.x DLLs.
Note that the client library version (DLL) we used to test against the 11.9.2 Adaptive Server
was client version 11.5.1.
(3) Oracle THAPI (threaded API) is only supported with Oracle 7.3.4 DLLs (or higher).
(4) Users of Oracle 8.0 through 8.04 may need to upgrade to 8.05 or higher if they have
installed Winsock 2.0.  (WS 2.0 appears incompatible with Oracle 8.04 or lower)).
(5) Oracle 8.04 may require an extra library. See tables below for older info.

Notes:
(1) Oracle 7.1, 7.2 7.3 client libraries, although not rigorously tested, are expected to work too.
(2) Oracle THAPI (threaded API) is only supported with Oracle 7.3.4 client libs (or higher).
(3) On AIX 4.3, Oracle 8.0.4, you need to extract the shared library, shr.o, from the archive file,
libclntsh.a, using the "ar -x libclntsh.a"
(5) Oracle 8.04 may require other library

functionality. Therefore, the product should still work with CT-Lib 10.x DLLs.
