Re: Simple Oracle Browser

You could use MS Access itself to achieve this. You would have to create a DSN which points to the Oracle Database. After creating the DSN, you should link the tables you require from Oracle to Access. Once you have the linked tables, you can construct queries as with other tables. Hope this helps.
