[Zope] Zope on Linux, Oracle on another machine (Solaris) what to do?

[Chris Beaumont]

Hello,

Newbie question here...  Thank you for any and all help...

The subject line says it all..

What's the best way to connect an instance of Zope running on a Linux 
box to an instance of Oracle 7.3 running on a Solaris box in the same 
subnet...

As far as I can tell, the OracleDA seems designed to connect an 
instance of Zope and an instance of Oracle running on the same 
machine.. We don't want to do that because then we would effectively 
have to buy Oracle twice..  (we already have the 7.3 server up and 
running..) Am I wrong? I am willing to go through the whole Oracle 
install on this machine, to get the libraries, but I need to know 
that I'm not barking up the wrong tree..

Also, are there any other decent alternatives? ODBC?  ????

Thank you!

Chris
