Hi all!
Sorry guys but I am totally ignorant on oracle matters. I need some guidance in how and what is needed to connect directly to an oracle 7.3.2.3.2 database on a OpenVMS operating system with a database application developed on a Windows XP PC using DB2K.
Network/Database Server Details:
Server: Compaq AlphaServer DS10
O/S: OpenVMS 7.1
Database: Oracle 7.3.2.3.2
Protocol: TCP/IP (controlled by UCX)
Can I connect using only ODBC drivers?
Do I need an Oracle client on the pc workstation?
Do I need a dedicated DB2K oracle user account (multiple users of DB2K PC
application) or do I need to add an oracle user account for each individual
user?
Any advice or guidance would reduce my trial and error approach as I am pressed for time and very gratefully appreciated.
