I would eliminate the ODBC layer altogether. If you are doing some testing you probably can get an evaluation copy of a pure Java-based JDBC driver. You want either a type 3 or type 4 JDBC driver for Oracle.

The following companies have Type 3 JDBC drivers for Oracle on Solaris.

  WebLogic      www.weblogic.com
  OpenLink      www.openlinksw.com
  Symantec      www.symantec.com

There are many other companies that are selling Oracle JDBC drivers listed at http://splash.javasoft.com/jdbc/jdbc.drivers.html

Hope this helps,

Dave
