Well there are ways to use Oracle with Powerbuilder and VB without using SQL*Net. A description of how follows, and for more info call Visionware tel +1 415 325 2113.
MPH. SQL-Retriever is a high-performance, fully compliant level 1 ODBC driver which allows Microsoft Windows applications to talk to UNIX databases, quickly and easily. VisionWare delivers a 'middleware' product in SQL-Retriever which offers a single ODBC solution into which you can plug your preferred Windows clients and UNIX database servers, without compatibility problems. No other software vendor offers a solution comprising all the connectivity software and ODBC support you need: the only other products you need to source are the clients and servers themselves. Most importantly, SQL-Retriever does away with the need for multiple DLLs and database-proprietary network interfaces such as Ingres-Net and SQL*Net. As a result, SQL-Retriever is not only fast, but does not require large amounts of PC memory. Support for several databases and many communications methods makes SQL-Retriever the most flexible and cost-efficient solution to connectivity requirements. With SQL-Retriever, you can develop personalised client/server executive information systems using just a few mouse clicks, not a team of SQL developers. Received on Thu May 12 1994 - 20:02:38 CEST
