Generic Connectivity -Oracle(10gR2) to MS SQL server - Creating DSN

Hi,
I am trying to connect Oracle 10gR2(10.2.0.4.0) on linux x86 to MS Sql Server on Windows XP
I am referring the Metalink Note 264567.1 and using DataDirect ODBC drivers for the same
I have a question here
Do I need to create the System DSN on windows XP or on Oracle (linux server)?
If it is on linux server, how to I create the System DSN on the Linux?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Pk

Hi,
You need to create a DSN on the box where the HSODBC (the oracle db) is running, so in this case the Linux box.
I'd assume there's documentation that comes with the 3rd party odbc driver on how to create a DSN with it. It probably depends on which version of driver manager you're using (pardon my ignorance, I do strictly Windows) so you'd probably want to check the docs for the driver manager. For example, if using unixODBC, the docs are on [their web site|http://www.unixodbc.org/].
Hope it helps,
Greg

Connect Oracle Reports to Ms Sql Server DB

Is it possilbe to Connect Oracle Reports to Microsoft Sql Server database. If yes then how. Please advice.
Thanks
Sami.

It is possible to connect Oracle database to MS Sql server database using the Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server.
You can use the following links to configure such connection:

Connect Oracle Forms 6i with Sql server

Plz tell how to connect oracle Developer 6i with Microsoft Sql Server 2005.

thanksOracle Forms is best used against an Oracle database... so why on Earth would you want to use it against SQL Server?
Aside from that, Oracle Forms is old technology... you'd be better using Oracle Application Express (Apex) for producing web based apps.
If you must do things against an SQL Server database, you would need to set up heterogenous services connectivity (HS) and treat the SQL Server database as an external database.

Connecting Oracle 8.17 to SQL Server 7.0

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to connect to SQL Server 7.0 from Oracle 8.17 using
generic connectivity.
I have configured all the files(listener.ora and tsnames.ora)
and created a database link in Oracle.But when I try to execute
a query against the linked server it gives me an error that says:
"Unable to resolve the service name"
I am using OLE DB connectivity.
what could have gone wrong ? Please help me.
Asha

Hi Fraser,
Thank you for responding.
I think I fixed that problem,actually there was a spelling
mistake in one of the parameter files.
But now I get another error message, says:
"ORA: 02068: following severe error from MSOLEDB
ORA: 28511: lost RPC connection to heterogenous
remote agent using
SID = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=LOCAL_HOST)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=<SERVICE_NAME>)))
Do I have to configure the SQL Server network utilities?
I pinged both the servers ,they talk to each other.
But when I use tnsping ,the client machine (i.e.,the SQL Server
machine)talks to server(Oracle machine) but the server doesn't
talk to the client.
I am definitely not doing something right.
Asha.

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:

Difference among Oracle, Sybase, DB/2 & Sql Server

Hi,
Appreciate if anyone can mention some major differences among Oracle, Sybase, DB/2 & SQL Server in terms of any major syntax, performance & cost parameters.
Appreciate if anyone tell me like what are major parameters that are considered when going for a specific database like oracle, sybase, db/2 or sql server?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Connect Oracle 11g (64-bit windows server) to Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Hi all,
I am trying to connect:
Oracle 11g (64-bit windows server) to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) on a different machine.
1) I have create an ODBC connection (called:GALAXY) which connects.
2) created a init.ora called it initgalaxy.ora in $oracle_home\hs\admin
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = GALAXY
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = on
3) modified the listener.ora file as below
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: E:\Ora11g\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =

5) restarted the listener
6) created a public database connect
create PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "GALAXY" CONNECT TO "USER" IDENTIFIED by "PWD" USING 'galaxy';

11.2 is beta at the moment. There is no official release date so far.
As DG4ODBC is independant from the Oracle database (or the target database) you can use a 3 machine model:
On the first machine you have your Oracle database, on a second machine running 32bit Windows you can install DG4ODBC and on the 3rd machine you can run your foreign database.
If the SQL Server 2k is installed on a 32bit Windows machine, then you can also install DG4ODBC on this machine.
In general the connection from an Oracle database to the DG4ODBC machine is done using SDQL*Net. The listener responsible for DG4ODBC will then load the DG4ODBC executable which will connect to the SQL Server using SQL Server ODBC driver.

Remote Connection from SAP to MS-SQL server

Hello Experts,
We have been following 2 options so far and we have come across some issues
The first Option is to call a stored procedure (this is our preferred method) which does the data transfer for us
We have been able to test this scenario successfully from SQL Server side
However, while calling the stored proc via native SQL from ABAP we have come across an issue which is due to SQL 2005 changes (Schema implementation and difference in the security context)
While calling the stored procedure from the ABAP Code we have an error
The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is
"Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
This issue is new after the SQL Server 2005.
We are trying to resolve that.
Secondly we have been trying the DBCON option as well as per OSS Note 323151
We have a few things thatu2019s impacting our scenario:
The remote servers are in a different domain
The remote servers are located in DIZ
Remote server is a named instance
Remote server has been configured with a different port than standard (1565) u2013 All Connection strings will need port in there
The Database name starts with a numeric value
Due a combination of factors as mentioned above the standard approach does not work
Have any of you used this approach while connecting from SAP to MS-SQL server? Do you know of any successful methods to connect to SQL using ABAP (or not) from SAP.
Thanks in advance,

Yes,
DBConnect & UDConnect.
Works like a charm.
We write data into a MS-SQL database via DBConnect & an ABAP program (using open sql).

Oracle 8i to MS SQL Server replication

Im new to Oracle, but a MS SQL Server DBA. Im helping in the architecture of a data warehouse that pulls from some disparate sources, including Oracle 8i, into a SQL Server 2000 box. We could use batch processing to pull updated data from the Oracle database to populate our data warehouse, but we were hoping to get real-time transactional processing via some replication scenario. My terminology may be wrong from the Oracle perspective, but I think the transactional replication that SQL Server supports is called synchronous replication in Oracle. My question is, does anybody know how to do synchronous replication from an Oracle server to a SQL Server? Or perhaps which Oracle product supports it? Thanks!
null

===========================================================
I'm working on the similar requirements, exactly my source DB is DB2, and the target DB is Oracle. I have two year experience with Oracle, but I know nothing about DB2. There a about 50 tables in source DB. Transactions on source DB is not too heavy(less than 10/Second), and the mainfram are all powerful.
I've though about Oracle Gateway, but I'd rather save it as the backup solution. For one thing, neither co-workers nor I have experience with it. Second, I'm afraid the Gateway performance would not be satisfactory. Furthermore, words has it that we should pay for the Gateway. So My ideas to real-time replication of the two DB is as following:
(1) use trigger in DB2 to reponse to immediate transactions in source DB;
(2) use Embedded C/SQL to extract those transactions into flat files;
(3) FTP files to the target server;
(4) On target server, SHELL scripts read the files and call Pro*C to apply the transactions into Oracle DB.
but, some problems really get me.
A: in step(1) and (2), How to set EC to do its work in reponse to trigger? I know that one can call host script in Oracle trigger, but I have no idea about DB2 trigger. Maybe, I can create a real-time monitoring EC process to address it. what's your opinion?
B: I should maintain all transaction metadata by myself. e.g. INSERT, UPDATE old/new data, DELETE info. It is originally covered by the database, and it isn't easy to handle it squarely.
C: How to address some exception? like database rollback, the process recovery in case of any interruptions in the above steps.
Could you share me some idea, Thank you!

Oracle 10g/11g to Sql Server 2005 Migration

Dear All,
I am a beginner to this migration Activities..
We have designed one Application which is havin Database as Oracle 10g.
and We had another small Application which is having Sql Server 2005 has Database.
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..
Pls help me how to convert Database in Oracle 10g/11g to Database in sqlserver 2005..

Hello,
this is an Oracle forum and we are handling here migrations from foreign databases to an Oracle database.
For migrations in the other direction, in your case from Oracle to MS SQL Server, you need to read the Microsoft pages, e.g.:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration.aspx
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..Normally a migration is not a daily process, so I guess that you just want to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server on a daily basis. If that is the case, you should consider to use our Gateways. Please start reading here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
Using the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) or the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) you can copy your data from your Oracle database to your SQL Server database, using a database link in the Oracle database.
Please let me know whether this answer helped you.

Wolfgang

Oracle 11G Linux ( Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0. )

Hi,
I am tring Gateway for SQL Server ..
I want to Select Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0 at the time of installation, but It is not coming in the Avaliable Components List..
Is there any prerequisite for SQL server ?
Any Help please ?

Are you following the "Step Through the Oracle Universal Installer" section under

Differnce Between Oracle 9i And MS SQL Server 2000

Hi,
What are the difference between Oracle 9i And MS SQL Server 2000.
Thnaks

Some links
http://www.google.lv/search?hl=lv&q=oracle+sql+server+difference&meta=
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:1:487512552646613::NO:RP::
http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Compare/sql_server_vs_oracle.htm
http://www.wisdomforce.com/dweb/resources/docs/MSSQL2005_ORACLE10g_compare.pdf
But you have to remember one big thing - I've not seen yet one compare that was completely indifferent to any of the included DB's. 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.

Equivalent datatype in Oracle for datetime of SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
I'm very much new to Oracle. I have been working with SQL Server since 3yrs. Currently I'm working with Oracle 11g.

Oracle date format can be anything you want, either by default at the session level or preferably explicitly using to_char and a format mask.
Format masks are documented here.

Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at SERVERNAME

I have installed SQL 2008 R2 in a fresh win 2008 R2. I’m running the sharepoint configuration Wizard using the database server name with the correct domain
credentials but I get the following error message. “Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at
SERVERNAME. The database might not exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect”
I‘m able to login to the new SQL server using the “SQL server management studio” with no problems. I used the sa account and a domain account.
The sharepoint server is also a new installation. And both servers have the firewall disabled.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon

Hi,
What is your SharePoint server’s version?
Please make sure you use the farm admin account to launch SharePoint configuration wizard. If not, please log in with this account, then check the effect.
In addition, check if you create a named instance, such as, servername\sharepoint, however, you only specify the servername in the configuration wizard. If this is
the case, change to servername\sharepoint, then check the effect.
Thanks,
Rock Wang
