Does Oracle really offer any OCI demo/sample programs?

Oracle, says that there are some demo/sample programs for OCI.

In my case I'd like to find examples of using OCIConnectionPoolCreate(). There should be in a file called cdemocp.c, according to the documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/ociabdem.htm

But its far from clear what I should install to get these files? I would have hoped I could download them from Oracle's own website. Seems not. Certainly no handy link from the above page.

I have a tried installing (onto windows):

An Oracle 10g XE database server, no such source files
Oracle client (sdk options on), no such source files
searched within our linux installations -- where did I find the fabled \rdbms\demo\ folder which contains a few make files referring to the demo source files, the but no source files. So running these makefiles fails.

Basically, no luck finding them.

If I google for cdemocp.c I find only:

the typical multiple copies of Oracle's own documentation
other people saying they cant find it.

( I finding using oracle's documentation is like lord of the rings, only a faint connection with reality, and probably too many words. I'm not enjoying it. )

Solution

OK found the OCI demo files. It was a serious pain to find them.

From Oracle, get some "Companion Disk". Such as:

"Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2" : 102010_win64_x64_companion.zip

For me all the various "Universal" installers I tried crashed, or refused to run. Even when run on the OS they were supposed to be run on. But, having expanded the installer you can just dig out .jar files. These .jar file are really just .zip files with a diffident extension. This file:

102010_win64_x64_companion\companion\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.rdbms.companion\10.2.0.3.0\1\DataFiles\filegroup2.jar

when extracted, contains all the OCI demo files I wanted under rdbms/demo/. Voilà.

( I list them here so anyone googling for them might find this page. )
