[ILUG] Oracle/Sybase connectivity question

[Kenn Humborg]

A guy I know is looking for an easy way to transfer 
a bunch of records from a table in an Oracle
database to a Sybase database.  They want to write
a tool which is portable between NT and Linux that 
would run as a cron job (or NT equivalent).

They'd like to use C++, if possible.  They don't 
know Perl and don't want to have to learn it.  They'd
prefer not to use Java for performance reasons.

So, what cross-platform DB access libraries are out 
there (such as OBDC)?  Is there some neat hack that
you database gurus know of?

Later,
