We are looking for a GUI to the ORACLE DBMS that works similar to the way oracle's sql_forms package works when combined with sqlnet. We can't use oracle's sql_forms and sqlnet, because oracle isn't willing to give/sell us enough detail information (source code) about the protocol between the client application and orasrv daemon running on the remote system.  

Apparently, the way sql_forms et. al work over sqlnet tcp/ip is that you have a server application (orasrv) running on the remote system waiting to accept a connection on a socket. Once a client such as sql_forms connects, the server forks off a child process to handle the client connection.  

We want to capture the sql commands that the client sends to the server and the child process of the server, modify them, and send them on to orasrv or the children of the orasrv.  

If you have a GUI that would allow us to do this, we would be willing to purchase the source code from you. The client code should run under SunOS/X11 or on a PC running DOS and/or Windows, but at this point we will accept code that runs on just about anything if the UI is decent. The server code, must run under SunOS 4.x. I can be reached at the address/phone number below.
