This guide describes how to install and configure Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase, Informix, Teradata, SQL Server, ODBC, and DRDA on UNIX based platforms.
This manual is intended for users responsible for installing Oracle Database Gateways on UNIX based platforms.
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
