We are upgrading from Oracle version 5 to version 6 for SCO Unix.
Oracle tells me that we need to buy SCO's development system
just to do the installation (needs a c compiler and linker)
That seems a like a waste of money for a product that we have no 
real use for. Can this really be true?

Has anyone gotten around this? I understand PL-Sql is one of the
applications that that we need and needs to be linked.

Thanks for any suggestions.
