JVP,
We did our first Oracle interface in 1995 and have maintained since. It all seems quite straight-forward, to be honest.
For the Oracle-specific stuff there are vast numbers of excellent articles and white papers in the public domain by gurus with a decade of full-on Oracle experience, though possibly not in MS-oriented magazines for VFP or dotNET, which I assume is the niche you have identified for your article?
So what will you article be about? In the interests of harmony I will not even pretend that I think your article must have been about how easy it is to use Remote Views against Oracle, even though that might explain the events of which you complain ;-)
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
