[DB-SIG] cx_Oracle DLL load failed

[Anthony Tuininga]

You forgot the most important part of the information required to 
diagnose your problem -- the version of Oracle and the version of 
cx_Oracle. :-) In addition, when you get that particular error, there is 
  a message box that comes up with some additional information -- what 
was that information? I would guess that it is complaining about the 
procedure OCISessionGet() which is only available in Oracle 9.2 and up. 
If you are running 9.0 or lower, use the Oracle 8i version of cx_Oracle. 
If that's not it, please reply with the information above. Thanks!
