wine users - Dec 2004 - About Apps developed in Windows That use native ODBC's

Hi there....

I'd like to know how to use WINE with applications developed in Windows that
use net components (such as ODBC clients)......For example:

I developed an application in VB6, and it uses an Oracle ODBC conexion 
(previously I installed the Oracle client). Hot do I use it in Wine?  
- Do I need to emulate the Oracle ODBC Client for Windows? 
- If I got a Native Linux ODBC conexion, is there no need to emulate the ODBC 
client?

Thanks in advance

If you have a linux ODBC manager, such as unixODBC, and you have a suitable 
Oracle ODBC driver for Linux (such as ...) then the native odbc32.dll should 
access that.

To trace any problems use:
export WINEDEBUG=odbc
wine myprog 2>odbc.log

Alternatively or in addition you can enable logging within the unixODBC or 
whichever you use.
