The Oracle interface

The Oracle interface defined by the module mmoci accesses Oracle databases via the Oracle Call Interface (OCI). Oracle's Instant Client package must be installed on the machine that runs the Mosel model. The Oracle Instant Client package is available for download from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html

The logon information for an Oracle database comprises the user name and password along with the database name, formated as a string such as 'myusername/mypassword@dbname'.

It is possible to access Oracle databases via an ODBC connection (that is, using module mmodbc instead of mmoci). In this case, an appropriate ODBC driver must be installed.
