I'm researching options to access an Informix database
Right now, the process involves generating a flat text file, ftp and
importing into our Oracle Database .
I know I can create an external table agains the flat file, but im
looking to connect to the Informix database and issue queries to
eliminate file transfers
I've heard of Oracle Gateway for Informix Database Heterogeneous
services, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with accessing
Informix from oracle and how much cost and trouble is it to set up?
Yep, Ive googled and started reading the doc(s),
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10528_01/ch1.htm#1005648
But its looking bigger than Id like... hopefully soemone here has some
info for a more sane direction
Thanks!
Bob
