We have been using Oracle on a Solbourn UNIX box as a database server, and interfacing to it from Macs using SuperCard, SQL*Net and Oracle Network Station (now called Macintosh client tools). The problem we now have is that the Network Station (client tools) has jumped in price to $600/Mac (plus the $200 for SQL*Net). This seems like an outrageous price per Mac.

So... is there an alternative we could use, perhaps something put out by a 3rd party vendor which interfaces to an Oracle database server from the Macs? It must support SuperCard/HyperCard by providing an "execsql" XCMD of some sort. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
