Hi all!   
      
   Sorry guys but I am totally ignorant on oracle matters.   
   I need some guidance in how and what is needed to connect directly to an   
   oracle 7.3.2.3.2 database on a OpenVMS operating system with a database   
   application developed on a Windows XP PC using DB2K.   
      
   Network/Database Server Details:   
       Server:  Compaq AlphaServer DS10   
           O/S:  OpenVMS 7.1   
   Database:  Oracle 7.3.2.3.2   
      Protocol:  TCP/IP (controlled by UCX)   
      
   Can I connect using only ODBC drivers?   
   Do I need an Oracle client on the pc workstation?   
   Do I need a dedicated DB2K oracle user account (multiple users of DB2K PC   
   application) or do I need to add an oracle user account for each individual   
   user?   
      
   Any advice or guidance would reduce my trial and error approach as I am   
   pressed for time and very gratefully appreciated.   
      
   Andrew Zac.
