Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Connect to MS Sql Server from Java Source

Hi,
Is there any way I could connect to ms sql server from Java source? I know I can call java source from function thats easy but what I really want is capability to connect to non-oracle(MS SQL server) from my java source and then call it from function.
I don't know if JDBC driver for SQL server is even installed/available. Is there a way I could find it out form my IDE? I know sqlJ does compile but I have never used sqlj. help!!!
Sinha

You'll probably have better luck in a Java forum or a Microsoft forum.

Connecting to network SQL Server from SQL Developer

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to network SQL Server from SQLDeveloper but I am unable to connect( I am getting could not connect to SQL Server...). I have searched many sites but could not find the solution. I am giving HostName as MachineName\InstanceName and keeping the port as 1433.
Can anyone explain how that connection string should be given.
Thanks.

From help with additional comments
Host Name: Host system for the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
E.g., sybase.myCompany.org (DNS name or IP address)
Port: TCP/IP Port on which Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server will listen.
As mentioned by others, need to know how server is configured. Common values: 1433, 5000
Retrieve Database: Name of the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
Once the other data is correct, press this to populate list box and select which database you want associated with this connection. E.g., pixar, pubs2, etc.

Connecting to Windows SQL server from Unix Oracle Server

How can I connect to Windows MS SQL server from Unix Oracle Server? What installation or package will I need?

Two options:
1) Do a search on "Oracle Transparent Gateways" and/or "Heterogenous Services". These are products that are designed solely to connect to other databases from Oracle.
2) Use a type-4 JDBC driver for SQL Server, installed and running in the JVM of your Oracle server. I'm assuming your Oracle database is sufficiently recent to be java-enabled here.

Connect to MS-SQL Server from a Oracle 10g running under Solaris

Hi,
I have the following problem. I want to access a MS-SQL server from an Oracle database (10g Enterprise licence) that is running on Solaris.
After googling a while, the following questions arise:
- Is it correct that the Oracle Transparant Gateway for the SQL Server is not available on Solaris platforms (but only on Windows)?
- Is it right, that the second possibility to solve this problem is to use an SQL-Server odbc driver for Solaris and access the SQL-Server over ODBC? And: Is this feature included in the Enterprise licence?
- If yes, which driver is good and cheap ;-)?
- Is there any other way to solve this problem?
Thanks
Aron

I believe the Transparenet Gateway for SQL Server is available on Solaris. The problem is that you need a Unix based ODBC driver which you will also need to pay for.
We had this same problem and decided to run a windows based Heterogeneous Services gateway and routed through it instead of using the SQL Server transparent gateway. The Heterogenous severives gateway is NOT an add on product (as is Transparent Gateway). The drawback would be performance as I would expect the native MS SQL transparent gateway to perform better, but in our case it worked acceptably.

Connect to another SQL server from SAP

Hi All,
I want to connect SAP to another SQL server. Basically each day I need to take data from 2 tables in SAP tables to another sql server. I want this to be automated via a program in SAP.
Please suggest me some methods to achieve this.
I have searched the web and found that this is possiable, some transactions such as DBCO was mentioned, but it was not much helpful.
Thanks a lot.

Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server from Linux

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate an OBIEE deployment from Windows to Linux, I have found much information about connection to Oracle DBs but I cannot find out how to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server DB. I have my webcat and RPD transferred but see ODBC errors for all of the reports, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I eventually solved this using UnixODBC and FreeTDS, I have yet to complete my own write-up of the solution but I found that someone else had solved the problem at more-or-less the same time and has written up the solution here:
http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2008/02/connect-from-rhel5-to-mssqlserver.html
If anyone finds this in the future and has questions please feel free to get in touch, I get email when this thread is updated so that should be enough. Thanks to Damon for putting me on the right track.

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Connecting to MS SQL Server on UNIX/LINUX

Hello friends,
Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box?
Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?
Thank you!

Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box? Quite probably. Go here to find out:

Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?I've heard something about a Unix ODBC simulator, but I wouldn't bother with that. ODBC is not necessary in this situation.

Import from sql server to OWB

I have a sql server source, and the target is oracle10.2. OWB 10.2. I can connect to connect to sql server from sql*plus and see the data.
In OWB i imported the tables and created a simple mapping 1:1. It Validated and generated code successfully.
When i deploy the mapping first time i am not getting error message but i get 6 warning messages. but when i deploy the mapping second time i am getting following error and 6 warning messages.

can i know where exactly i am going wrong?

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -
Forum: Warehouse Builder
Warehouse Builder
as they will be able to help with the OWB side of the problem.

Mike

How do I connect to an SQL Server Database from CR XI?

Hello All,
I posted previously to this forum but did not get any response. There surely must be a way to connect to SQL Server from CR XI? My problem is that I keep on getting prompted for a PW or get a message saying "Logon Failed"
Please see my earlier post, with code sample, on Page 4 (or now 5 or 6 .....)
"How to log on to SQL 2000 programmatically using VB6 RDC and CR XI "
I would really appreciate a response from someone as I need to get some pressing work finished for a client.
Thanks so much in advance

Connect to SQL Server from Oracle

Does Oracle offer any connectivity to NON-Oracle databases such as SQL Server from within the Oracle database itself, similar to a database link ?

Yes, it's called Heterogeneous Connectivity. Basically how it works is you set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server
and need to modify the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files. Once you get it set up it works exactly like a dblink. You should be
able to find information on it in the Oracle manuals or from Metalink. There's also a Heterogenous Connectivity forum on OTN. If
you can't find anything let me know and I can send you some documents on how to set it up. I think the hardest part for you might
be finding a SQL Server ODBC driver for HP-UX.
