We sell a product, SQL-Retriever (previously known as SQL-Connect), which will
do what it sounds like you might want.

It provides a MS-Windows DDE interface to various Unix based databases,
including Informix Oracle and Ingres.

You would need a run-time copy (and therefore licence) of the product for each
installation.

It does not provide an interface to a DOS or PC-based database (such as
SQL-Windows (?) from Gupta).

Contact me or vware@visionware.co.uk for details
