I wrote an application with Delphi 5, accessing an Oracle 8 database on
an NT server. Everything works fine.

Now I tryed to run the same application under Windows 98 with an Oracle
8i database.

The program returns an 'ORA-01041' error when I try to access tables
containing RAW or LOB columns.
I tried with BDE version 5.01, 5.10 and 5.11 but got always the same
error.
DLL32 is set to SQLORA8.DLL and VENDOR INIT either to OCI.DLL or
ORACLIENT8.DLL (none works).

Thanks for any help

I will give you the same answer I am giving everyone else with Oracle
8/8i LOB problems.  Use Direct Oracle Access
(www.allroundautomations.nl).  If you search the newsgroups on Oracle,
you will find endless questions about LOBs.  The BDE simply doesn't
handle them well.  DOA does away with the BDE and compiles into your
.exe.
