[MacPerl] Oracle access

[Richard Christensen <richard@crl.com>]

Believe it or not I did try the archive first.

I need to do a query to an oracle database on a VAX system from my Mac.  
I ideal solution would have been to extract the data from Excel to Excel 
using their ODBC "stuff" (sorry, I am not a database person).  I was told 
by our desktop admins that MS didn't update the ODBC for Office 98 and 
are several Oracle versions behind. Therefore, according to them I am SOL.

The question that is posed is:  Can I use MacPerl to access the database 
and massage the data into tab-formatted data.  Please keep the 
suggestions simple so that I can understand them.  I don't know what DBM, 
etc mean.  Yes, the two computers are networked.  I can use fetch and 
Mac320 to gain access, but I would like to automate the retrieval.

Thanks.
