Even if Powerbuilder is currently owned by Sybase, the original question had nothing to do with this. Powerbuilder was developed when Powerbuilder was an independant company. Their original connectivity was with Watcom SQL... and a bunch of other database with either Native connection or through ODBC. It is still the orientation of the product with release 4. Considering the Oracle market share there is no doubt that Powersoft [even as a subsidiary of Sybase] will keep on improving the connectivity with Oracle product.

P.S. just my two cents...
