That is exactly why I am looking at freeTDS and
iODBC.  Oracle has what they call "Generic Connectivity"
which requires an ODBC driver.  It will allow you to create
a database link to another db.

I'm trying to go from Solaris 8 and query a SQL Server 2000
db.

After some patches from the iODBC folks (thanks Patrick)
and hints from others (thanks Ou)
I have it working using odbctest.  However, we have the
64bit version of Oracle, and I believe therefore Generic Connectivity
needs a 64bit driver.  So I think I am now stumped.

I was contemplating trying to do the queries with java, then update the
oracle tables.  Sounds like Carl did it in the opposite direction with perl.

Anyone using freeTDS with java?
