I have a question about connectivity between different databases.
Oracle, DB2400 and SQL_server. 



It is easy to integrate application products that are running on
different DB platforms?


What products can be used to achieve this?  Our consultant is
mentioning .NET but then we have to run everything on SQL server.



Currently we are running on Oracle but our third party generic
applications are first developed for SQL server and later ported to
Oracle (So Oracle has no priority for them)



We are now looking to additional applications that are only available
on SQL server and we like to integrate these applications in our
current environment that is running on Oracle DB.  The information I
get is that the integration is much easier to achieve with products
like MS .NET if all the application will run on SQL server
Oracle seems to be less open. Do not get me wrong with less open: I
mean that there are less integration products or programmer skills
available on the market.



We can choose to migrate totally for SQL server. Additional info: We
run on Win2000. Hardware platforms like Unix is no issue)



What is your opinion?
