Umm, does this mean you want to connect using ODBC to an Oracle database running on a Windows server from your Linux box?

Or connect to an Oracle database running on Linux using ODBC from a Windows box?

The second is the easier of the pair to do, just requiring the Windows ODBC drivers.

The latter is mroe entertaining, trying to find a set of ODBC tools for Linux, and an appropraite Oracle driver (of which I've not tried yet).

Some more information would be helpful.

Hi,
I agree with stuart.
but in the question I think it's the first case, your oracle is on your linux box.
Then you just have to install the client side (with odbc) on your windows system.
The client side is a CD delivered by oracle, or you can download it from oracle.
To make it works, install sqlnet (or net8) , check if it can connect to your database, and then install odbc drivers from oracle.
