Some must have tried this...although long time Oracle users may find this amusing.

I have a Linux web server with a database app. I've been running PostgreSQL for sometime, and well, it's too slow. I have acquired access to a Oracle 78 database running on an UltraSparc system.

The question is, has anyone ever tried to interface a Linux system, either via C or Perl, to a Sun machine running Oracle?

My other choices are to dumb Linux and use either Solaris/X86 or <shutter> Windows NT. Neither is preferred.

Thoughts?

Mark
