Subject: Oracle client on Alpha Linux?

As I'm looking over that article in PC Mag that compares different DBs, I
noticed that the spreadsheet from their website has available Oracle clients
listed as "Any with a Java VM".  And that's got me wondering.

How would one attempt to implement an Oracle client on an unsupported
platform like Alpha Linux?

Anyone care to take a shot?  I've got a DEC (*NOT* Compaq!  GRRR!) Alpha
Linux box at home that's running Apache, and I want to get it to talk to the
OiD DB (3.0.1 on 9.0.1) I'm setting up on my WinTuke box it's networked
with.

TIA!
