We are being pressured by a cleint(big) to purchase an Oracle development system only because that is what they plan on doing and would like to extract data from our system. We were planning on moving to a different database/language, but have developed a bad taste for Oracle sales people (who would hardly give us the time of day before our client got involved).

The question I have is: Has anyone accessed an non-Oracle database using ODBC and an Oracle front-end? Have you had any problems with performance or connectivity?

Any other comments on Oracle or ODBC VERY welcome!

Thanks in advance.
