I am trying to find the most direct network connection to Oracle Server
running on a SunSparc, from a MAC Client.
The only client/server programming I've done connected a Motif/SUNOS
client to an Informix DB server both running on the SUN platform, using
OSF/DCE RPC to handle the network.
I'm trying to avoid several layers of middleware. But there's no DCE for
the MAC. As I understand it, the only possibility is SQL*Net, which I
invoke with another Oracle Product, the OCI (Oracle Call Interface??) It
sounds like they require you to buy their "PRO-C" bundled with OCI. I'd
rather use whatever's native to Oracle.
My questions are:
??: Is Oracle OCI/SQL*Net the closest I can come to the DCE RPC paradigm,
??: Do I have to buy/use Oracle's PRO-C or can I invoke SQL*Net API's from
and is it the best way to go, given my situation?
within a THINK-C or CODEWARRIOR C program?
Even if you're not familiar with DCE, any comments about SQL*Net and OCI
on the MAC would be appreciated.
