I don't know if you need full fledged access or just to read a few tables.
If it the latest you can use PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW) and access the pgsql instance using the existing PGv2 driver.
I know it might look convoluted, and maybe it is, but you avoid using DBX.
I would also avoid using oracle which is a prerequisite, right? :) So DBX is to avoid? Sorry, I didn't care very much about SQL engines the last years.
why DBX is to avoid?
I don't know. I read the sentence "I know it might look convoluted, and maybe it is, but you avoid using DBX." as avoiding DBX is something positive. So I want to know as well.
in linux, it is your only chance for connecting to oracle (in windows you could also use odbc). and it should be working, AFAIK
I'm fine with using DBX as long as it works. I understood also that it is one of the higher prioritized tasks for the consortium. Norbert

Ps: FDW are amazing.

Most of the time DBXTalk seems to be a requirement. It is also something that is considered necessary for a lot of people. Now have the need to access an oracle database. Is that possible? And if yes does it also work on linux?
