When using direct connect to connect to a database, the following message is given.
“You are making a Direct Connection to Oracle using TCP/IP.
This type of connection does not support advanced object types such as nested tables, user defined objects, cross-connection queries, etc. You may also experience performance issues.
If possible we suggest using Oracle’s instant client. If you want to use cross-connection queries with an instant client you will need to install the ODBC driver also.”
What does this mean and what do I have to do to get rid of this error message?
