All of first this is not the error of winnt 4.0

The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) Release 8.1 provides a wide range of new features and functions. All calls available in Release 7.x are still supported, but they are not able to take full advantage of new Oracle8i features. Release 8.0 of the Oracle Call Interface introduced an entirely new set of functions which were not available in release 7.x. Release 8.1 adds more new functions. The earlier 7.x calls are still available, but Oracle recommends that existing applications start using the new calls to improve performance and provide increased functionality

For Win32 applications running on Windows NT or Windows 95/98, this means that these applications will need to migrate to the new Release 8.x OCI calls in order to continue to be supported. In Release 8.x, the library and DLL containing the OCI calls is named oci.lib and oci.dll. In Release 7.x, they were named ociw32.lib and ociw32.dll. At some point in the future, ociw32.lib
and ociw32.dll will no longer be supported or released, making migration to the new calls mandatory.
