- We are looking for a GUI to the ORACLE DBMS that works similar to the
- way oracle's sql_forms package works when combined with sqlnet. We
- can't use oracle's sql_forms and sqlnet, because oracle isn't willing
- to give/sell us enough detail information (source code) about the
- protocol between the client application and orasrv daemon running on
- the remote system.
-
- Apparently, the way sql_forms et. al work over sqlnet tcp/ip is that
- you have a server application (orasrv) running on the remote system
- waiting to accept a connection on a socket. Once a client such as
- sql_forms connects, the server forks off a child process to handle the
- client connection.
-
- We want to capture the sql commands that the client sends to the server and
- the child process of the server, modify them, and send them on to orasrv or
- the children of the orasrv.
-
- If you have a GUI that would allow us to do this, we would be willing to
- purchase the source code from you. The client code should run under SunOS/X11 or
- on a PC running DOS and/or Windows, but at this point we will accept code that
- runs on just about anything if the UI is decent. The server code, must run
- under SunOS 4.x. I can be reached at the address/phone number below.
