Other then that you have Oracle's Sql*Net, Net8, JDBC, ODBC etc at your disposal. If telnet is the requirement, then I am not aware of any tool that can pipe it to give you visual representation. If you do not want to use Oracle's middleware, then next best option that I can think of is to use Java's JDBC thin driver which sits on top of TCP stack. You can slap a GUI to pipe the data to tables's etc. Maybe someone else can give you a better option. HTH //Rauf Sarwar
