1. Oracle is compliant with ANSI and ISO SQL92. The official International STandard is ISO/IEC 9075:1992 also ANSI Document ANSI X3.135-1992.

PL/SQL Release 2.1 supports "Entry SQL" as defined by these standards.

2. Oracle supports Dynamic SQL from applications and Now with Oracle7.1 from within stored procs.

3. OS/2 client is supported.

You need

SQL*NET for OS/2
SQL*NET PRotocol adapter for whatever protcol ( like TCP/IP ) for OS/2

If you want to have WIN OS/2 clients hit on an oracle db somewhere on your network you need also need SQL*VDM as well to bridge WIN OS/2 and the OS/2 wall.
