I would be very happy to see a native Oracle client for OpenBSD.  Fat
chance of it happening.  I poked Oracle on metalink and got nowhere
faster than I did explaining my need for RAID documentation to Adaptec.

I would be thrilled to see a FreeTNS project spawn similar to the
FreeTDS project.  That would solve our problem quite nicely.
