About:
ODPI-C (Oracle Database Programming Interface) is an open-source C library that provides a common API for Oracle Database drivers. It abstracts the complexities of the Oracle Call Interface (OCI), enabling consistent and efficient database connectivity across different programming languages. This formula installs the necessary headers and libraries for developing applications that interface with Oracle Database.
Key Features:
  • Unified API for Oracle Database connectivity
  • Abstraction over Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
  • Supports multiple programming languages via bindings
  • Open source with active community support
Use Cases:
  • Developing high-performance database applications in C
  • Building language drivers for Oracle Database access
  • Creating cross-platform applications that require Oracle connectivity
Alternatives:
  • instantclient-sdk – ODPI-C is a lightweight wrapper that simplifies OCI usage, while Instant Client SDK provides the raw OCI libraries and headers directly.
