Hi,

I'm searching for a way to access oracle (and in future other DB
systems) using ODBC on a 64bit linux machine.

I found unixODBC, but the oracle driver by easysoft listed there is
quite expensive.

The oracle homepage lists a 32bit linux "ODBCinstant client driver" -
is this basically the same thing and can be used with unixODBC and any
application? Is there a version for 64bit applications, too?

I'll appreciate any tips and help on the issue

Thanks in advance,
Ronnie

Ronnie,

I talked to Oracle about this. The 64 bit Oracle ODBC driver is
available for Solaris, but not Linux. They stated that it should be
released in 11g Release 2. I am waiting too, but I actually switched
to OCI and installed an OCI wrapper called OCILIB to get around the
complexities of OCI procedures. Seems to work really good.
