using ocilib with Visual Studio 6 C++

[vassilux]

Hi,
I want to use ocilib in an old Visual Studio 6 project to migrate from ODBC to OCI, the C part it compiles and runs fine. Is it a good idea to mix runtime?

Hi,

Mixing runtimes can be an issue when you're linking against them dynamically and/or when a memory block is allocated by one runtime and deallocated in another runtime.

• OCILIB windows binaries are linked statically against msvc runtime.
• There is no memory allocated in OCILIB and freed by application or vice versa.

Thus, it is safe :)

Best regards,

Vincent
