Hello,
If I use Sql Developer to create a database in Oracle, is it possible to connect through Data Environment from Visual Basic to that database?
Basicly I want to connect Visual Basic to a database in Oracle. The problem is that I don't know where the database is created by the SQL Developer (I can't find any xyz.sql file) to have the path for Visual Basic. Sorry for being such a newbie and asking for such a "how to". Any help is welcomed.

do you know where you created your tables??

in visual basic you can connect oracle by ADO (one of the option) by pressing CLT+t i guess or you can also make driver from ODBC for your oracle database.

In VB you can use OO4O (Oracle Object for OLE) or OLE DB.
Search for these words in documentation and http://otn.oracle.com.

I know I can use ADO, OLE DB, ODBC and so on, but the problem is that if I want to connect the forms created in VB I need the path to a .sql, I don't know where these .sql files are created by SQL Developer, if they are created. Or should I create by myself the create.sql, insert.sql and so on? And after that to connect SQL Developer to that data base?
Is it possible to export the tables as .sql ? I can see that the inserts can be exported (mytable.sql in witch is the insert into...) but can you export something like mytable.sql in witch you actually create the table (create table mytable ...)?
Thanks

Why?
You don't need any SQL file to connect you just need to execute statement within the syntax requested by your interface (OBDC, OO4O...).

Create a database? Normally you don't use SQL Developer for that. Maybe you created a schema (a bunch of tables etc) within an existing database?
