Gene No, oracle does not have an ODBC driver for AIX. However, I have set up several database connections to SQL Server using the Merant Driver. It works very well and is more than fast enough for our application.
My first piece of advice is to watch your case. The Oracle and the Merant driver seem to be very case sensitive. The case of the SID in the tnsnames.ora file must match that in the initXXXX.ora filename in $OH/hs/admin. The value of HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO line in the initXXXX.ora file must match the case in the $ODBCHOME/odbc.ini file.

And it also doesn't seem to work. So they are asking whether there is a Oracle ODBC driver for AIX which they can try instead. Does anyone know where do I start to look for that driver? I never had to deal with that stuff before. Thanks Gene __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
