There are two pieces that you need to do this. A front-end application and some middleware. For a straight Oracle solution you could use Oracle's SQL*Net as your middleware. There are other middleware solutions available as well. There is EDA/SQL from Information Builders, SequeLink from Techgnosis, SQL*Net from Oracle and the DAL Server for Unix from Pacer Software (the company I work for). All of these work quite well. If you would like more information on DAL please send me email at the address listed below.

There are many front-end applications available on the PC that are ODBC aware. I know 123 supports DAL and I suspect most if not all of the middleware products above. In addition, there are many popular front-ends that allow you to access the remote Oracle data. These include GQL from Andyne, DataPrism from
Brio, MS-Access from Microsoft and Clear Access from Fairfield Software.
