Hi,

I am using OCILIB (http://orclib.sourceforge.net/[^]) to connect to ORACLE from my c++ program.
But whenever i try to connect to 11g database. It crashes while calling OCI_ConnectionCreate. Application works fine for 10g.

Any clue ?

It works for one more scenario,
If i create oledb connection to the same database and close it. I can connect through 11g as well. Dont know how it works :(

It was crashing , as i was calling OCIInitialize function from dllmain function. i moved it to other function and the code is working....

Moral of the story : Thumb rule is , we should not use any user code in dllmain.

Not an answer but a joke: I've been tempted to write: I feel it quite normal, I'm having problems to get my phone connected to 3G and you want to connect to 11G! :OMG:
