[Quoted] I've got NT 4.0 running Oracle 7.3 at the moment. I've been trying to convince my boss to convert to a UNIX-based version as we haven't started really doing anything with it and it wouldn't be as big a deal to change as if we had a live system.

Personally, I run several Unices =) including FreeBSD, BSDI/OS, Solaris, Ultrix (don't ask - old VaxStation), and Linux and all the scripting and programming I've done are based in said OS's. I don't like NT but may have to work with it. I'm new to SQL but not to programming in general.

[Quoted] The Big Question: Are there any Unix-based clients (like SQL Plus) that can work with the NT SQL server? I've tried a few including MySQL and PostgreSQL but can't connect. I figured this would probably happen but I figure someone must have been in this position before and prevailed, or at least I hope so...

I would prefer a BSD UNIX solution but I'll settle for anything that isn't [Quoted] MS Windows... Unfortunately, Solaris is out at the moment because we can't upgrade our machine to anything above Solaris 2.3.
