- The required thing is to get SQL*Net to work. All Oracle-compatible
- products that I know of just plug in to SQL*Net the same way Oracle
- brand tools do -- or the way your own Pro*C or OCI programs do.
-
- (The exception is for tools that use DAL or TechGnossis SequeLink, which
- bypass SQL*Net. But you aren't.)
-
- I saw a demo of Approach -- it looked like FileMaker II on the Mac in
- terms of its ease of use. And maybe slightly more powerful. Definitely
- an end-user tool.
-
- Cheers.
