Jason,

If you want a cost free solution you could try Java (JDK 1.1.5) and the Oracle thin driver. Both are free. But this means learning the language and the speed may not be what you want.

There are some simple examples that come with the driver that would be easy to change for a very simple app.

See the Sun site at http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/java-ports.cgi/ (site not available today)

See the Oracle site at http://www.oracle.com/products/free_software/

Just an idea

Regards
Gary.
