Hi, I have tried to hack NCOCI8 to use 10g client successfully. It seems that will work
with only changes in detecting Oracle Home.

Any plans to officially support 10g?

Diman, mighty glad to see that you're still active.

Regards

When i will have it, then i will check NCOCI8 with it.

If things are enough easy, then you can make changes, send them to me and i will include that into main sources.

Regards,

What I did was simply hardcoding the Oracle home path directly in NCOCI.pas.

I'm still investigating on the proper way of obtaining the Oracle Home from the registry.

It works on almost PCs but on some PCs was the problem with detecting Oracle home too. I just changed the registry keys to uppercase and it works! Like this:
        if TestBestHome(AnsiUpperCase('SoftwareOracle')) then
if OpenKey(AnsiUpperCase('SoftwareOracleAll_Homes'), False) then begin
