In computing, the '''Oracle Call Interface''' ('''OCI''') consists of a set of [[C (programming language)|C]]-language [[software]] [[application programming interface|software APIs]] which provide an interface to the [[Oracle database]].
 
OCI offers a procedural API for not only performing certain database administration tasks (such as system startup and shutdown), but also for using [[PL/SQL]] or [[SQL]] to query, access, and manipulate data. The OCI library, based on Oracle's undocumented [[User Programmatic Interface]] (UPI), acts as an "[[interpreter (communication)|interpreter]]" between applications and the low-level database network protocol.
