                Update of the ODBC Oracle Driver
                ================================
                        September 1993


This driver is only for use by registered owners of Microsoft 
Access v1.1 and Visual Basic for Windows v3.0 - Professional 
Edition.  By downloading these files, you are indicating that 
you own one of these two products.


What does the update do for you
-------------------------------
This update to the ODBC Oracle Driver removes the 2000 character 
limitation for SQL statements.  The original ODBC Oracle driver 
would not allow the queries, or SQL statements, to exceed 2000 
characters in length.  For more information on this issue, please 
refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article #Q102525, "ORA6WIN.DLL 
Does Not Allow Lengthy SQL Statements".  This can be obtained 
from the MSKB CompuServe forum.

The following two files will actually be updated:

                          Old                     New
SQORA.DLL       version:  1.00.2816     version:  1.00.3112
                   size:  143,600 bytes    size:  144,096 bytes
                   date:  4/16/93          date:  7/12/93

SQORASTP.DLL    version:  1.00.2403     version:  1.00.3106
                   size:  9,328 bytes      size:  9,632 bytes
                   date:  5/7/93           date:  7/6/93


How to install the update
-------------------------
(1) Start Windows (if it is not already running).
    a. If you are running Windows 3.1, open Control Panel.
    b. If you are running Windows 3.0 or NT, select the ODBC 
       program group.
(2) Double click on the ODBC icon.
(3) From the Data Sources dialog, select the Drivers... button.
(4) From the Drivers dialog, select Add...
(5) Enter the drive letter and directory from which you are 
    installing.
(6) Choose Oracle from the list of available drivers and select 
    OK.
(7) ODBC setup will install the driver at this point.  If an ODBC 
    Oracle driver of the same version number or higher exists on 
    the hard disk, ODBC setup will ask if you want to replace it.
    In most cases, you will not see this, but always stay with the
    most recent version.
(8) Choose close and you are done.


What did it install
-------------------
The ODBC installation installed a new SQORA.DLL, a new 
SQORASTP.DLL, and a new ORACLE.TXT to your Window's system 
directory.
