So, if I understand your question correctly it has nothing to do with database connectivity for Linux. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't your question be better asked: How do I get a custom Windows app (Xalt) _via Wine_ to talk to the DB? It's more of a Wine question than anything else, because you need the Wine bits to let Xalt talk to the database, not get Fedora to talk to the database. Have you tried a Wine list with the question of installing the "client connectivity for windows"? -- William Hooper
