Generic Connectivity is one of two Oracle’s solutions for transparently accessing data stored in a non-Oracle system from an Oracle environment. It is a low-end solution and can be used to access non-Oracle systems for which Oracle does not offer a Transparent Gateway solution. It is based on the ODBC standard so it allows connectivity to any non-Oracle system which is ODBC compliant. This solution is free and available with the database. It requires an ODBC driver to connect to the non-Oracle system. It is recommended for non-Oracle systems for which Oracle does not provide a gateway solution.
