[Quoted] I am not absolutely sure, but Oracle does have the Transparent Gateway products.
They are pricy -- Oracle to Sybase gateway was $12,000. It gives you a simple mechanism , you write everything in Oracle to the tables in the foriegn database.

The major advantage is that the Transparent Gateway is almost as fast as naive code.

[Quoted] Another choice would be to use ODBC (if accessing the database from a PC). It can
be slow and clumsy, but it gets the job done.
