	I use proc (Pro C) for Oracle databases, 
      because 

	1) many "unix" applications which accessed Oracle from
      C programs used this pre-processor compiler.
 
      2) the unix applications I ported to cygwin already had extensive 
	   code written in Pro C.

      If you are starting from scratch, vanilla code and designing a new app
though,
	 an ODBC interface might be much nicer. 

	If you are doing a web based app, you might consider
      an apache server with an owa_module. Then write stored procedures in
PL/SQL.
      etc...
