midas connection

[zaenen]

Hi,
I am using Delphi 6 Enterprise/DOA 3.4.5
I have a question about connectivity. Currencty I am using DOA to connect to an Oracle 9i database that is located on a Windows 2000NT server via a logical 3 tier connection by means of the MIDAS technology.
The physical layout is 2-tier
(thus: clientdataset ----> provider on application server, application server on Win2000 NT ------> Oracle on the same Windows2000 NT server as the application server).
My question is : is it possible to move the Oracle database to a UNIX/Linux environement and to keep on using DOA.
So the physical layout would also be 3-tier:
(thus :clientdataset ----> provider on application server, application server on Win2000 NT ------> Oracle on UNIX/Linux).

Thank you in advance
Ivo Zaenen

Yes, this is possible. The only requirement is that your application server has an Oracle Net connection to the database server. To the application itself everything will be transparent.
