The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is a set of low-level APIs (Application programming interface calls) used to interact with Oracle databases. OCI programs are normally written in C or C++, although they can be written in almost any programming language.

There is a better library for programs written in C++. It is called Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI). The OCCI provides object oriented interface with the Oracle Object Relational Database.

As Oracle puts it : So reliable that every SQL statement in the Oracle Database executes with OCI.
