Can we use different Databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in one report?

Post Author: venki5star
CA Forum: .NET
Hi there.
Can we use different databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in a same report?
If possible how?
Another question,
Can we change the Provider Name at runtime of the given report. If so the above question is useless...
Thanks in Advance.

I tried this using Oracle Provider for OLEDB (the one that supplied by Oracle Client) and Crystal Reports 9. you can drag the column into designer but the image does not appear in preview.
I guess it's because CR does not recognized it as image, and there are no information that the blob data is an image at all.

Hi Merry,
Seems that you have to add the "provider" attribute to the connectionstring. Please have a look at the following link: [http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008#p2]

Can't connect Azure Database in SQL Server

Hi,
I completed setting up the database and server on Azure, but when i tried to connect it using SQL Server 2012. I got an error.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to tcp:*******.database.windows.net,1433.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10061&LinkId=20476
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
My IP was already added in Azure.
I also checked that the TCP/IP was enabled on Configuration Manager.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Hi Aaron,
If you are trying to manage your database through SSMS - make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is enabled.
1) SQL server configuration manager
2) In 'SQL server Network configuration'
3) Enable TCP/IP
Also try connecting your database through the web based sql azure management studio.

Can i open an SQL express 2005 database in SQL server express 2012?

Hi,
i have a database and it's in SQL express 2005 but because my windows 8 is not compatible with the installer, i have to install the latest 2012 installer. my problem now is that i cannot open it in the 2012 edition..what do i have to do?

Hi white_roses,
Could you let us know how do you restore the database to SQL Server 2012 Express edition? Please help to collect the detail error information of this issue, it will benefit for us to do further investigation.
As Sandesh and ED suggested above, we can directly detach our databases from SQL Server 2005 and then attach them to SQL Server 2012. For detail steps, please refer to the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858.aspx
After we move a database from the instance of SQL Server on server A to the instance of SQL Server on server B, users may be unable to log in to the database on server B. If need the logins information on Server B, please refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

i want to query oracle database from sql server can anyone tell steps 2 followed
i tried with linked servers but it is throwing errors can anyone hepl in this regard
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.

Issues using Oracle SQL server Developer migration work bench

Hi all,
We are trying to migrate the application databases from SQL server 2000 to Oracle 10g using Oracle SQL Developer 1.2.1.32.13:
Following is the list of issues that we faced while trying out this migration on dev environment.
1. The data migration was successful for only around 90 tables out of the total 166 tables present. No error message was logged for the rest of the tables but still it was completed.
2. Some of the tables which had got the data inserted did not have the full data. Only some of the rows were inserted for these tables. Error message was logged only for few of the rows and not all.
3. Few error messages were logged which said problems about “Inserting ' ' into column <tablename>.<columnname>”. There was no such constraint in the target database that the particular column can not be null or can not have only a space. Please check the logs for the same error messages.
4. The status box at the end of migration had shown only 3 errors.
5. The total data for migration was around 500MB. The time taken for migration was around 75 minutes. Are there any optimization techniques that will improve the performance?
Please note that there were no Foreign Key references for the source schema or target schema.
Any pointers/info/resolutions related to above mentioned issues will be much useful for us.
Thanks,

Hi Adam,
There are 2 sets of scripts created for you.
1) For SQL Servers BCP to dump out the data to dat files
2) For Oracles SQL*Loader to load the dat files
You run the SQL Server BCP scripts on the machine with SQL Server.
The dat files will be dumped out on that server.
You can then move the dat files to your Oracle server.
Then run the Oracle SQL*Loader scripts to load the dat files into Oracle.
Give it a go and follow the doc and viewlets.
Your Questions:
So the datadump from the source location would be saved on my local disk?it will be saved on the same machine you run the bcp scripts from. Usually the same machine SQL Server is on, because you require SQL Server BCP tool.
So once it is migrated to the destination database will that dump be created automatically? Or do I need to modify the script to take care of this?I dont know what you mean by this, hopefully above clears things up.
The only modifications you need to make to the scripts are adding in the databasename username password servername. These are outlined in the scripts themselves. I would want to do something fancy like dump the dat files to a different directory, then you can modify the scripts, but you should understand what they do first.
Most people would have 500MB of space on their discs , so I can see the problem creating these dat files . The same goes for your 30 GB database.
I hope this helps, but as always you wont get a good idea of how it works until you give it a go.

Dermot.

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,
Anthony

How to convert Oracle database to Sql server Database

Hi All,
I have one database made in the Oracle 8i, i want to convert that database to Sql Server Database,
Can anyone please give me the step by step process to do this conversion.

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

You need to be a little clearer in what you're asking.
You can't make any web site in SQL Server - it's a database engine, not a website tool.
What you can do is create web sites that pull data from a back-end SQL Server, but the SQL server doesn't handle the client connection at all (that's handled by a web server such as Apache, IIS, or similar).
There are many ways to build such a site including .NET, PHP, Perl and more (although I don't know all the options for Windows servers because they're not as common outside of corporate/enterprise networks).
In either case, given your choice of development language (HTML, plus one of the PHP/Perl/.NET/etc. options), plus your database (SQL Server) plus your web server (IIS, Apache, etc.) you can make any web site you like (or, at least, you're capable of developing).
If you want to opimize that web site for iPhones then there are many references on how mobile browsing differs from the desktop. I'd recommend this book as a reference (and, yes, I understand the irony of linking to a paperback book for web design guidance ). Googling mobile web design (or iPhone web design) might yield more results.

Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

Hi,
I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
Is there a complication here.
Regards,
Bhavik

Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.
PS: No needs to post 3 times. :-)

Importing Database from SQL Server into Oracle 8i

Hello Friends,
Cuurentlly we are using SQL Server as our application database, Now we want to switch on at Oracle 8i,bcz of some problems,
If anybody had done so,then please help me in solving this problem,
I wana Import whole database from SQL server to Oracle
Lot of thanks

Hi,
Use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to export all the tables from SQL to oralce.
When selecting the target database use the Oracle native driver (the name is not on top of my head) and not the ODBC one.
You will have problems with datatypes. Make sure to edit the mappings for the proper datatype if required.
If you have ntext columns, make sure they are translated to CLOB and not long.

Wasim.
