We have tried ObjectView from Matesys (not much experience yet). Our database is Oracle (6.0.33.1.2) on HP9000. Network TCP/IP. Client side: ObjectView 1.05 on a Tandon 386SX, 3MB memory. The installation of ObjectView itself was easy. You have to figure out which network layers you need, though. We use the following configuration:

	PRODUCT		FILE(S)			VENDOR
	-------------	---------------		--------
	ObjectView	many			Matesys
	SQL*Net		SQLTCP.EXE		Oracle
	Arpa Services	SOCKTSR.EXE		Hewlett Packard
	LAN Manager	TCPTSR.EXE		Hewlett Packard
			TCPDRV.DOS
			PROTMAN.DOS
			ELNKII.DOS (for 3COM503 card)

BTW, I am interested to hear from people that have experience with ObjectView (any server DBMS), SQLWindows (Oracle DBMS) or another front-end that works with Oracle.
