This is a beginners question...

I want to access an Oracle database (stored on a network server) using C++ 
Builder 6.0. I would prefer not to have to install the Oracle 9i Client on 
every machine that will run my application. Are there database access 
components for C++ Builder 6.0 that can access Oracle 9i directly, without 
needing the Oracle Client installed?

I have been able to access the Oracle database using ADO and BDE components, 
but they seem need the SID from the TNSNames file, which wouldn't exist if 
the Oracle Client weren't installed.

Thank you,
