Re: Accessing a Unix Server from OS/2

To access oracle from OS/2 you have the choice of the following sql*net protocols

SQL*Net v1

- tcp/ip
- DECNet
- APPC/LU6.2
- NetBIOS
- SPX

SQL*Net v2

- tcp/ip
- NetBIOS
- SPX
- APPC

This will allow any OS/2-based ORACLE app to access ORACLE on any platform that supports the corresponding protocol

If you are running a win-os/2 based ORACLE app you need a product called SQL*VDM for OS/2 or if you are running IBM's tcp/ip v2.x with the DOS/windows access kit you can use sql*net for WIndows v1 or v2.
