I suppose it gets into what you consider expensive. If you get Oracle Transparent Gateway you can virtually make your Informix database appear to be fully integrated with Oracle. You can probably even create materialized views locally. However, the product isn't exactly what I'd call cheap - but it isn't prohibitivly expensive either. Received on Tue Sep 05 2000 - 22:41:02 CDT
