They also sell it (thus making it eligible for support). Any opinion about whether or not that support is worth the cost of purchase? (Considering the fact that I've made 3 separate calls and been waiting for days to get a price quote for it, I don't know why I'm even asking this question!)

I couldn't find any odbc drivers at ftp.oracle.com (which maps to the same place as www.oracle.com, I'm told). Are they hidden in some obscure place there? Is anyone aware of another ftp site where they (or someone else's drivers) may be found?

What other vendors offer Oracle ODBC drivers?
