We have Oracle7 running on one RS6000/AIX machine and Informix on another RS6000 machine. The two computers are networked via TCPIP. Is there a way to make Oracle be able to communicate with the Informix database, like possibly use the SQLPLUS COPY command to copy a table from a non-Oracle remote database? If this is even possible, what tools would need to be running on each machine to accomplish this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
