I am fairly new to Oracle in general.
One of my customers is asking for a software implementing the Oracle
wire-protocol.
The idea is: They have a very old Cobol application which cannot be
changed anymore. They want to migrate from Oracle to other databases
without changing their Cobol software.
My idea was: To implement an adapter talking "Oracle". This adapter can
then transform the Oracle protocol to something else.
My question now is: Which wire protocol does Oracle support? Is it
realistic to implement something like that in realistic time?
Can anybody point me to Oracle specs describing the protocol?
