I Recall someone running Oracle under FreeBSD via SCO binaries running under a Linux Emulator..... *IF* this little setup worked one could use Oracle's Distributed Database option or whatever they call it to run a query in SQL*PLUS on the FreeBSD machine which selects/inserts/deletes data on the NT Box via SQL*NET....... Come to think of it you'd have to use the Distributed Option.... Maybe I'm Wrong, J. -----Original Message----- From: Marc van Kempen [SMTP:marc@bowtie.nl] Sent: 09 June 1998 14:36 To: Angelo Nardone Cc: freebsd-database@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: SQL server, Oracle > I need to make a query to an Oracle (NT) server, and a SQL server from a > process > runing in FreeBSD. > Do anybody know how ? > Thanks. > Angelo > > I believe Oracle (or was it another DBMS vendor) has made a client library available for Linux. If you use the crossdevelopment package you should be able to create a program that can talk to the Oracle server. It will be a Linux binary however.... I don't seem to be able to find it right now.
