If you're using Oracle from unix (or even windows) then this looks very interesting:
www.globecom.net/tora
Give it a whirl.
Tim.
p.s. I'd be very grateful if someone would add this to the FreeBSD ports collection!

uses the free version of QT.

I just want to run KDE on my machine. Can I do that with the
Free Edition?
Yes.
You may use the Qt Free Edition for running applications,
both at home and at work, without restrictions.

p.s. This is about as far off-topic as we want to get with this, don't you think?

Qt Free Edition 2.2 and later is licensed under both the QPL AND the GPL
(and, at the top of the TOra page, it says it requires Qt 2.2).
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/licensing/index.html
I haven't built it yet against the Qt installed for KDE, but I strongly
suspect that TOra works with the Free Edition of Qt (if there is even a
difference between the full and the free edition, as far as the
libraries go).

It seems to have become more restrictive again. All of these links
have disappeared in the last couple of hours. The free license is now
not mentioned at all and only the $1500 developer license is
available for UNIX it seems. Shame too, the bumpf on TOra looks very
good.

It must be the power of DBI! :-)
All three links were valid this end about 3 hours ago. Maybe a lot of us have
logged on and put the wind up them? :)
Though it seems our discussions have also co-incided almost exactly with their
release of Qt3, and they appear to have changed the entire site. Ah,
serendipity. The best links I can find now are:
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/licensing/index.html
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/simple.html (slightly different from
one above)
Though perhaps I am straying off-topic too, so I'll stop there.
