Seeking experiences with using SPSS for Windows against Oracle DB

My wife is involved in a project that proposes to use SPSS for windows on desktop workstations to massage data obtained from an Oracle Data Base on a central server. She has asked me to inquire as to whether any one in the Net can offer commentary about this. Hidden pitfalls and suggestions about things to avoid or assurances that this is a workable proposal and the implementation should be quite straight forward would both be appreciated.

I will be reading both these news groups to see if there are any follow ups, so post to the Net if you think others are also interested, however, I would appreciate direct email responses and will summarize and post any responses if there is interest.

Thanks very much for any help.
