[Squirrel-sql-users] SQrL & Oracle 7.3

Anybody using SQrL and Oracle, specifically version 7.3?  I noticed on =
Google that the JDBC-ODBC bridge isn't always going to work (using =
Windows 2k, fwiw) b/c of some "fancy metadata" that Oracle uses.

I tried downloading the JDBC drivers from Oracle's site, but got a host =
of errors when I was trying to log in.  Not sure if I need the dll's on =
the site to get the JDBC drivers working (that just seems wrong; it's a =
*JDBC* driver, for heaven's sake) or not.  Also tried the "thin =
drivers", but for whatever reason they weren't connecting with id & =
pwd's that worked through simple ODBC.

Unf. I'm not an Oracle guy (SQL Server and Sybase), and am just trying =
to use the ANSI-SQL approach once I do get it working, so I know less =
than nothing about Oracle-specific stuff.  We've got an Oracle box on =
the network where we test for Oracle-using clients, and that's that.

If anybody's gone through the setup and wouldn't mind giving me a =
play-by-play, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks!
