Quick Tour with Visual Basic

This quick tour is designed to get you started with Oracle Objects for OLE for Visual Basic. We use an example employee database application to show you how to code basic database operations such as navigating through data, adding, modifying, and querying records. A more advanced section is also included on how to perform batch inserts using parameter arrays and SQL statement objects.

The entire code for this example application is provided in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\OO4O\VB\SAMPLES\QT\ directory.
