I'm building a C++ based Carbon Application connecting to an Oracle

Unfortunately Oracle is (still) not providing a native Intel
library for the Apple platform but only a PowerPC based one, so I
have to stick with a PowerPC build.
Is there "any" way to use a dynamic library build for the PowerPC
into an Intel application or did anyone else find a nicer solution
then building a PowerPC application run under Rosetta on an Intel Mac?
Well you could run a separate process under Rosetta to host the
PowerPC library, then communicate with that using IPC.
Have you tried contacting Oracle to ask for an Intel library? It may
be that they're working on that at the moment, so you might at least
get something you can use for development purposes.
Also, if you're just using this library to talk to the database, have
you considered using one of the various ODBC drivers instead? There
seem to be a few third-party drivers that you could use natively on
Intel machines (hint: search Google for "oracle odbc mac os x").
Kind regards,
Alastair.
