In article 90246.15077 I showed away of of logging on to oracle on a
remote database from a C program.  The user will not know that they
are in Oracle.  What I forgot to mention is that explicit logins
are only required if you want to change information on the remote
database.  Granting of "select" can be done through database links
and synonyms.  Then when I'm logged on to my local ops$ account
I can access data on the remote machine.  The database link does
the connection to the remote database, the user need not know what
is happening
