Connection between Oracle 9i and MS Sql Server 2005

Hey Guys,
I am hoping to create materialized view of data on a small sql server box using our oralce 9i cluster. Anyway, i have done this with mysql using the standard odbc dirvers and a dblink, but i am having trouble finding an odbc driver for the connection from oracle to sql server. So, i was wondering if you guys know of a free, or cheap odbc driver, or have a suggestion of an alternative connection method.
PS: i have see: Heterogeneous Services Agents and Transparent gateways floating around, so are these options that don't need the odbc drivers and are free?
Thanks in advance

So you can be sure that every doc that you get on MS website will say that SQL server is better, every doc on Oracle website will say that Oracle is better. Every doc on other websites will say that better DB either is:
1) DB that has payed for the reserach paper
2) DB that was mostly used by the researchers
So of course you should be very cautious about each paper you get.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,

Client transport between SAP on Oracle 10G and MS SQL server 2005

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement where we have to do client export/import from SAP ECC 6.O running on Oracle 10g and to SAP ECC 6.0 running on MS SQL server 2005.I want to know whether SAP supports this and patch levels of all components two systems should be the same.
Thanks in advance,
Basis Admin

Not recommendet because of potential :
- patch level inconsistency
- ABAP dictionary inconsistency (programs, tables)
- possible client independent configuration conflicts
existing config cen disturb "imported" client
imported config can ddisturb existing clients
If there are any inconsistencies mentioned above you are in trouble...

Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
##.##.##.## as the hostname
1521 as the Port
xxxx as the username
yyyy as the password
TEST as the service name
When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
I'm very new to Oracle.

This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

DB link between Oracle 9i and MS SQL server2000

Hi,
Is it possible to create a DB link between Oracle 9i and MS SQL server 2000.
If it is possible what are the different ways of creating it.
Is it possible without purchasing any propietery drivers.
Thanks,
Rohit

I've never seen any documents stating that the enterprise edition is a requirement for the heterogeneous connectivity ....
There are 2 ways to set up the connection with MS SQL - using generic connectivity driver (OLE DB or ODBC) or using the Oracle Transparent Gateway.
The generic connectivity is free and comes with Oracle DB - it has several limitations - for example you can't call MS SQL stored procedures from Oracle.
The Oracle Transparent Gateways are packaged , the MS SQL gateway is part of the Open System Gateways package ($15,000.00 per CPU license cost) and i has less restrictions.

Connectivity between Oracle database and client...

Hi guys,
I was asked to make a connection between oracle client and database via internet so that our clients can access the database from different parts of the country, and the data that is transmitted in the internet does not require security consideration. And I have successfully implemented this.
But later onwards they asked me to structure it in such a way so that clients must be able to select, insert, update and delete data offline, in case there is online connectivity problem.
So my question is, are there any possibilities in oracle to temporarily store data that are available in the oracle database to the client side and then later onwards transfer those datas once the clients are available online. Or are there any other alternative ways...
Additional Information - Client access the database through an application created by VB.
Please do help me on this project.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Asif.You probably should do a cost/risk analysis. Where you are headed might be able to be done (but it will require that the "clients" also have their own copy of the database) but it won't be easy and it certainly won't be cheap, either in initial implementation or in on-going maintenance. The alternative is to take a hard look at your network connections and see if it wouldn't be cheaper/easier to be able to ensure that it is reliable. Remember "the internet" won't break, it is highly redundant. If you have connectivity issues, they will almost certainly be in your own equipment and configurations, so your (your organization) will have the ability to address and fix any issues there.

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

HSODBC connectivity between ORACLE 10g and SQL Server 2008 R2

I'm getting the above error for DB links between Oracle 10.2 and SQL Server 2008 R2. But the same, when configured for MS SQL server 2000 works fine without any issues.
Please advise me to rectify the error. We've been working for the last couple of weeks.
Regards,

Sunil,
You don't need an Oracle ODBC driver.
The way it works is that in the gateway init<sid>.ora file, in your case initTelemetryDB1.ora, the parameter HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO points to a system DSN. This DSN should then be configured to use an ODBC driver to connect to the non-Oracle database. So, in your setup when you want to access the SQL*Server 2008 database then the DSN should use an ODBC driver that can connect to a SQL*Server 2008 database. If you still use the initTelemetryDB1.ora file for the connection then the TelemetryDB1 DSN should be configured to access the SQL*Server 2008 database.
However, there are a couple of problems with your actual setup -
- the configuration you have - 10.2 RDBMS on a Sun machine and HSODBC on Windows - is not supported. HSODBC should only be used from a RDBMS that is in the same ORACLE_HOME as HSODBC.
- 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and the configuration you want is supported. That is because unlike HSODBC the DG4ODBC gateway can be installed standalone with a RDBMS being installed.
I recommend that you download and install 11.20.2 DG4ODBC on your Windows machine in a new Oracle_home and access that from the 10.2 RDBMS on Sun - which is a supported configuration. But to do this, you will need to apply either the 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 patchset to your RDBMS.
There is more information in the following note available on My Oracle Support (MOS) -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
The 11.2.0.2 DG4ODBC can be downloaded from MOS as patch and for the gateways on Windows 32-bit you just need to download -
p10098816_112020_platform_4of6.zip
However, to check the HSODBC ou need to confirm that the DSN used by HSODBC points to a System DSN configured to access SQL*Server 2008.
Have a look at -
Note 109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for Windows NT
But remember this is not a supported version or configuration and you should be using Dg4ODBC.

Mike

ODBC connectivity between Oracle 11G and MSSQL Server on Solaris 10

When we were running in 10G, I was able to successfully configure hsodbc using unixODBC and freeTDS to allow for an ODBC connection between Oracle and MSSQL Server.
A few weeks ago we upgraded to 11G and I've been struggling to get the connectivity (dg4odbc) working.
In our 10g environment unixODBC and freeTDS were compiled as 32-bit. I have recompiled them as 64-bit and switched over to an 11G listener and I am getting the following error:

Connecting Xcelcius and MS SQL Server 2005

Hi All,
I need to create report dashboards in Xcelcius fetching data from MS SQL 2005 server. I've found different options for setting the connection between Xcelcius and MS SQL 2005, like using Reporting Service, using XML Maps etc. Which is the best option for setting up the connection?
Thanks and Regards,
Shyam.

Re: Integration of the xCelsius and SQL Server 2005 database
What i suggest is, create web service to retrieve data from SQL database and call this WSDL url in your Xcelsius.

Comparing Oracle and MS SQL Server 2005

Hi!
I'm looking for documents which compare
features, price etc og the database and database related development-projects
I'm looking for resources that describe the terminology used of MS and Oracle for their db's.
I'm also looking for "Feuerstein"-best-practices in MS-world.
And at last I'm looking for simple and complex scenarios comparing performance/features of these db's.
And if possible, I want them from some "independent" sources...
Can anyone help?
Best regards
Bjorn Dorr Jensen

Hi Hans!
I think it would not be fair comparing Oracle 10g with SQL Server 2000.
So thats why I'm looking for comparison with SQL Server 2005,
but if you have something that compare Oracle 11 with SQL Server 2005,
let me hear about it :-)
The objective:
well, the last 2 years I worked with Oracle DB (tuning, pl/sql) in an serious manner.
and now I have to work with SQL Server (which I didn't work with the last 2 years),
so I'm interested in the differences.
For now it seems that many SQL Server features are primitive compared with Oracle, but Microsofts usability is much better.
O1.) But is it really more primitive or are I'm missing the nessessary experience with SQL Server? Thats some of the points I want to find out.
O2.) Analyzing our own requirements for features: when would it be better to use Oracle and when to use MS? How to make this measure-able?
Could one make an descision tree like:
when more than x users/day and clustering needed and db_size>y....
O3.) Should I promote in an environment with people only using MS-products,
promote the use of Oracle-DB? When will this be an good idea?
(I don't think it will be an good idea the other way around: moving from Oracle to MS SQL Server - or would it ;^)
Best Regards
Bjorn

Hi Gun77 !
As i knew, ODBC Generic Connectivity Agent is an API which use for connect other RDBMS. Don't care cost because it's free.
In other way, u can use Oracle Generic Connectivity Agent to any DB (SQL server, MySQL,…)
Download the orajdbclink_o2a.zip (oracle-to-any) file:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205664
u can see detail in this link:
http://duykhanh.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/oracle-dblink-to-any-db-sql-server-mysql%E2%80%A6/
Hope good for you!

Oracle 10g dblink to sql server 2005

Hi all,
I'm conecting oracle 10g r2 (windows xp) with sql server 2005 (windows 2003 server)
After configure ODBC connection to SQLSERVER, the DSN is called HUAWEI_DCDB
I configure these three (3) archives:
1) C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\hs\admin\initHUAWEI_DCDB.ora
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = HUAWEI_DCDB
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
2) C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mpr-1420)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_LISTENERSQL =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = HUAWEI_DCDB)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
LISTENERSQL =
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=PNPKEY)))
3) C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER_ORCL =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mpr-1420)(PORT = 1522))
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mpr-1420)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
HUAWEI_DCDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=hsagent))
(HS=OK)
And when I tried to query sql server trought dblink, get these errors:
SQL> create public database link HUAWEI_DCDB using 'HUAWEI_DCDB';
Database link created.
SQL> select * from tbl_policyinfo@HUAWEI_DCDB;
select * from tbl_policyinfo@HUAWEI_DCDB
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from HUAWEI_DCDB
Anyone have idea about the error???
Thanks,
Manuel

Hi,
You have the wrong values in the tnsnames.ora entry.
You have -
HUAWEI_DCDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=hsagent))
(HS=OK)
but the CONNECT_DATA information is incorrect. it should be -
HUAWEI_DCDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=HUAWEI_DCDB))
(HS=OK)
The sid needs to match the sid defined in the listener.ora for the gateway.
The actual tnsnames.ora entry should have spaces at the beginning of each line except the first, as they are lost in the forum entries.
Once this is fixed you may also have a problem unless you put a user and password in the create database link statement -
create public database link HUAWEI_DCDB connect to "userid" identified by "password" using 'HUAWEI_DCDB';
One other point is that 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC). You should plan to install and use that instead of HSODBC to be on a fully supported product.
Regards,
Mike
