We are running SQL*FORMS for OS/2 under OS/2. :)
Supposedly there is an ORACLE-product which is a VDM which functions as a bridge between OS/2 and DOS and hence between OS/2 and WINOS2 (which is being run under virtual OS/2-DOS-machines).
Another possibility would be IBM's TCP/IP 2.0 with the DOS-box-support (including Winsockets), so you can access your local or remote database via SQL*Net.
Haven't tried neither, I must admit, as the OS/2 version of CASE and tools work nicely. (This is with Oracle 6.x, Forms 3, CASE 5.0.x etc.; haven't heard of OS/2-versions of Forms 4, RW 2 as of yet; anyone in the know out there ? )

P.S.: I wished, Oracle would support a REXX-interface for the OS/2-version of
its database, as it does on IBM-mainframes; sigh. GREAT little things could be
accomplished by this little gimmick.
