I did some research[1] and apparently in VS 2015 std::exception is no
longer exported. Can you add the following two lines at the end of 
libodb/odb/compilers/vc/pre.hxx and see if that helps:

#pragma warning (disable:4275) // "C4251 is essentially noise and can be
                               //  silenced" - Stephan T. Lavavej

This one is strange. Apparently[2][3], it is issued if you link a static
library twice though I don't see how this can happen here (there are no
static libraries involved). Also your error looks quite a bit different
compared to theirs. Can you send the complete linker command line (from
Projects->...->Linker Command Line) as well as the complete diagnostics
output? I don't even know what is being linked here: odb-oracle-d.dll,
your application, something else..?
