Hi,

I am working on an oracle8i data access layer using OCI. I am trying to =
implement the "select" query on user defined types (i.e. objects).
My understanding so far is that we need to define a C data structure =
using OTT and then make the OCIDefineByPos,.=20
OCIDescribeAny,OCIObjectPin and OCIDefineObject calls. i.e. we need =
prior information about the structure of the object we want to fetch and =
then allocate memory for it.

However I want to make a generic access mechanism i.e. determine at =
runtime the structure of the object, allocate place holders and then =
parse the returned object to get the attributes (an attribute maybe =
another object).

I would really appreciate if somebody could provide some code samples.

Thanks,
Siddharth Aggarwal.
