[AccessD] {Accessd] ODBC driver to Oracle to enableAccess queries

I think it is Access corruptions that are the issue.  Access is finicky when
its connections don't answer up in time.

Jim:

Isn't pass-through connections just ODBC? 

With good routers at each end of the connections you should not have any
corruption. The banks use Cisco router and they have no lost packets... The
Cisco router does the encryption, manages the network and monitors the
packet flow. If a packet drops it automatically requests a resend. Even if a
remote server or connection goes down the router just re-routes to another
connection and/or server.

This type of system takes all corruption concerns out of transactions.

ODBC connections over long distances has never worked for me- too slow and
prone to corruption. Pass through queries, OTOH, have always worked well for
me since the heavy lifting is done on the host machine and only the result
set is delivered to Access.

I have a client who wishes to link up to Oracle databases in several US
cities. These hookups would be up to 1000 miles from his office.   He
wants
to use an Access ODBC driver via the Internet to enable Access querying.
He
has asked me to check this out as to the whys and wherefores.


Help!!!!!.   Is it possible to do this?  Any books/articles on this
topic?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
