OTL 4.0, Example 42 (ODBC, OCI: LONG ==> CLOB. How to use OTL namespaces)

Example 42 (ODBC, OCI: TEXT ==> CLOB. How to use OTL namespaces)

This example demonstrates how to use more than one instance of the OTL library. The example opens connections to Oracle via OTL/ODBC as well as via OTL/OCI8. Then, a table with a LONG column gets created via ODBC, filled out with several rows, and the rows get copied over to a similar table via OCI8.

This example also demonstrates how to use the otl_long_string class to carry over values from ODBC to OCI8.
