>1) Does Oracle have some kind of VBA language?
PL/SQL or Java (in 8i). You can use VB(a) with Oracle though by using
Oracle Objects for OLE or the OLEDB provider (with 8i R2).
>2) Can Oracle call DLLs with user defined data types?
No, not directly. The external callouts (or external procedures)
interface is a good start, but you will have to wrap the user-defined
types into a more simple interface for the RDBMS to absorb. If you are
using VB (or an equivalent) you can do this there.
>3) Does Oracle run under NT and Linux equally well?
Yes (now I'LL be the one flamed :)
