After the OIP server is running, you can connect to your local or remote Oracle database. To do so, you must create the OraDatabase object as follows:

Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase("Exampledb", "scott/tiger", 0&)

You create an OraDatabase object using the OraSession.OpenDatabase() method. You must specify the database name, the connect string, and a bit flag word representing the database mode. The default database mode applies when you specify 0&. When Visual Basic executes this line, you have a connection to the specified database.
