Accessing AIX Oracle data from IBM i

Okay, to start with let me say I know nothing about AIX and Oracle. So having said that, this morning I was asked how we can use an RPG program on IBM i to access data on an AIX Oracle database.

A little background, we are in the process of removing the AIX systems at one of our locations and as an interim step the programmers want to be able to read and update files on the AIX system.

I found a listing for an old Oracle product call Access Manager for AS/400 (cringe!). I'm hoping there's another method like ODBC, JDBC, or NFS that can be used.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
