Does anyone know if you can still connect to Oracle using ODBC if Oracle is on a UNIX box.

Michael,
I believe there are drivers available for Unix that would allow you to connect to an Oracle database. I was under the impression that it was a Microsoft standard but, I've found information to the contrary.
I can't vouch for the validity of it but take a look at the following blurb below:
ODBC is based on Call-Level Interface and was defined by the SQL Access Group. Microsoft was one member of the group and was the first company to release a commercial product based on its work (under Microsoft Windows) but ODBC is not a Microsoft standard (as many people believe).
ODBC drivers and development tools are available now for Microsoft Windows, Unix, OS/2, and Macintosh.
Hope this answers your question.
