The name rings a bell but it has been a long time. Wasn't SQL*Star Oracle's connectivity product for legacy mainframe databases back in the Oracle 5.0 days?

If so, the modern equivalents are called "Oracle Transparent Gateways" and "Oracle Procedural Gateways". They provide tranparent data access to DB2 IDMS VSAM and a bunch of other IBM mainframe DB formats from Oracle.
