Hello,

I have a customer who wants to use their existing VAX Cobol and Dibol
programs with an Oracle backend that runs on Open VMS.  I have been told (by
Oracle) that their existing programs can use the developer 2000 tools in
order to get connectivity between the existing Vax programs and the new
Oracle Database.

First, I am wondering if that information is accurate.  The person from
Oracle sounded a little shaky when explaining the technology and I am
wondering if he was correct.  Second, if the Developer 2000 tools will do
the job, how involved is it to make VAX cobol and dibol programs talk to an
Oracle server?

Any help is appreciated,

Glenn
