c++ visual studio 2015 and OCCI

Question

Is it possible to use OCCI (Oracle c++ call interface) within Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 community and if so, how?

In the Oracle download section I can only find OCCI for Visual Studio 2010 or lower. Do I need to switch to VS2010 to use it?

Answer 1

I recently did an OCCI setup on my own machine recently. I can tell you that the OCCI seems to be very picky that you use the right OCCI library with the corresponding VC++ version. So while I have not tried your suggested setup, I am going to guess that no, it will not work. Try using VS2010.

In addition, if you are trying to setup OCCI for the first time, I found this blog post very helpful.
