We have a vendor supplied system that announces it self as follows:

Connected to: ORACLE RDBMS V6.0.27.9.2 - Production

I assume this makes it an Oracle 6 server.

Would I be able to connect to this easily from a 'modern' Windows 2000/Office 2000 environment using ODBC or OLE DB?

Failing that, I'll write Unix shell scripts to get the data we need and FTP it over. If I do this, are there any 'gotchas' I'm going to hit, given that my experience of SQL environments is broadly bounded by Sybase 4.x through to SQL Server 2000?

TIA for any pointers
