We are looking at using heterogenous services on
Oracle 8.1.7 to Sybase. It appears to me that the
transparent gateway is all that is required. The
confusion results from a test environment that was
built by another DBA who installed the generic
connectivity configuration which requires a separately
purchased ODBC driver for Unix. This environment
works.
The question is whether, or not, the ODBC driver is
necessary for the transparent gateway configuration.
The data and documentation say, 'no' but we have
experience that says otherwise. Comments from anyone
with hands on experience with the transparent gateway
would be appreciated.
