Are you sure you're using the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, or could you be referring to the Merant ODBC wire-protocol driver for Oracle provided in CF 5? We've had bad experiences with the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, and of course that's not even an option for a lot of our Oracle work, which is on Solaris. I've heard very good things about the Merant wire-protocol drivers, and have implemented them successfully against Sybase on Solaris, but haven't been able to get them to work at all against Oracle (I haven't tried too hard, either, though).
