Yes, that is because mysql has documented that interface for the free use of others. With oracle you can't even be sure all the time that they use sockets at all.

Yes.

OTOH, someone suggested the JDBC thin driver if you want to go for platform independence.
Maybe you could do a java app that translates VB socket requests to oracle-able ones?
