title: Connect VB 6.0 application to Oracle
body: <p>Currenly I am using Oracle 9i Lite Client to connect my VB 6.0 application to Oracle database. The Oracle 9i Lite Client  is installed on all the user's machine. (around 200)</p>
  
  <p>The VB 6.0 application also needs to talk to SQL Server 2000 database</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to think for replacement of Oracle 9i  Lite client so that I can bring down the overall cost by removing Oracle 9i Lite Client from all the user's machine and replacing it with some opensource or cheaper option which allows me to connect to Oracle database without loosing connectivity to SQL Server 2000.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
