Hi, I'm using "freetds" from my OpenBSD machine to connect to a MS SQL Server and works like a charm. Now I need to access to a Oracle server but it seems that the TDS protocol is not supported by Oracle databases, they use their own protocol named TNS and there is no "freetns" available.
I investigated if I could use ODBC, but it seems (afaik) that ODBC needs a specific driver for each database and I do not know if there is such driver for OpenBSD. Perhaps someone know... a) if with freetds it is possible to connect to Oracle (perhaps activating some "tds listener" in the database) b) if ODBC is usable in OpenBSD to talk to Oracle. I'm using OpenBSD in a sparc machine at the moment (Sun Netra T1), but I can use a x86 machine as well. Any comments appreciated. -- Joaquin Herrero
