Re: Free ODBC driver for Oracle on AIX?

While MS created the ODBC standard it can be used to access any ODBC
compliant database from any platform where an appropriate driver is
provided.

I have used a driver from Data Direct to access a MS SQL Server
database using the Oracle generic connectivity feature. Using this
feature I was able to query and perform simple DML on MS SQL Server
tables using SQL issued in my AIX hosted Oracle database. I know of no
free AIX ODBC drivers. Prices vary widely but the Data Direct license
was reasonable.

Note that ODBC drivers are not necessary to access Oracle from Oracle
products as long as an Oracle client is available.
