This is not correct. Oracle Developer connects to Oracle and RdB via SQL*Net and to a large number of other databases via ODBC. Developer is capable of detecting automatically at runtime the type of database and adjusting the application's behavior accordingly (e.g. to use Rowids if an Oracle database, Primary Keys otherwise).
The connectivity software including a number of ODBC drivers is included in the price of Developer.
From your description, you may be thinking of Oracle Open Gateway, a server connectivity product. Received on Tue Jul 14 1998 - 02:08:58 CEST
