No, that should not be possible. Oracle is not open-source, so you don't
know how to implement the library. Ok, I open a socket and then what?
I don't know Cincom VisialWorks EXDI cllient to  Oracle  but I guess it
talks by FFI or something like that to the Oracle C client library.

Alan, can you tell us if it is like that?   Otherwise, I don't understand ;)
