I could be completely wrong but as far as I know you need to talk to the MS
Commerce Server group. Oracle has a variety of connection software for
talking to other databases. They generally
use native Oracle SQL to talk to the foreign database and use SQLNet as the
connection software.
This type of software is pricy -- $10,000's. It is generally speaking one
way. One can read or write
data of the foreign database from within Oracle, however the foreign
database has no knowledge of
the Oracle database.
One could use ODBC with its inherent penalties of performance. If you are
using ODBC, the
server connection is the TNSNAME alias that is part of the SQLNet client
setup.
