I understand that this only means, that one cannot develop Unix clients that access Oracle via ODBC. Anyway, I suppose that it is possible to access data stored in a Oracle/Unix server, from a VB/win95 client via ODBC. Am I right?

Another questions regarding these topics... Which is the optimal configuration of components (ODBC drivers, SQLnet, etc.) in order to achieve the access to Oracle/Unix via ODBC? I´ll be using Oracle8.

What about stored procedures? Is it possible to call them via ODBC?

Thanks in advance,
