I developed an application that uses Delphi 7, ADO and ORACLE, the provider I use is OraOLEDB (I need use this provider because the BLOB fields support). now I want to distribute this application with the provider. I search the web to download the Oracle provider, but has a size of 174 mb. I need to install this file on all client machines ? there is a smaller distribution of this file?
UPDATE
i am looking for a lightweigth (small) distribution of the OraOLEDB.
Thanks in advance.
I would opt to let the user supply it’s client library himself. You avoid problems where there might me different oracle OleDb versions for different Oracle versions, licensing issues, installation issues etc. etc.
As fas as I know you need the package of 170 MB+.
