Accesing SQL server from Oracle

In Oracle and SQL Servers I'm Updating the data manually. But I want make it Automated Process(Updating required columns automatically) in SQL Server by using trigger during manual update in Oracle's table with respect to column .
Is this possible?
Im using Oracle 11g in linux and SQL Server 2005 in windows.
Both Servers are in different locations , but are in same network and not connected with ODBC , dblink .
I need your Valuable assitance and Helpful guide for succesfully completing my task.
Useful Replies are Highly Appreciated.

Hi,
Yes, look up the product "Heterogeneous Services for ODBC" aka HSODBC.
You'll need to create an ODBC connection from the Linux box to the SQLServer box though. You may need to get a driver from a 3rd party vendor as ODBC drivers usually come from the database vendor and I don't think SQLServer provides an ODBC driver that runs on Linux.
I believe there are also gateway products you can purchase to accomplish the task as well.
In either case you'll probably have better luck posting in the RDBMS forum, as this one specifically deals with Oracle's ODBC driver.
Hope it helps,
Greg

  • 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.

  • Regarding the tns-12541 error in connecting to sql server from oracle

    i need to create a database link from oracle on windows box to sql server.I configured everything but when i am trying to tnsping the sqlserver
    it throws me an TNS12541 no listener error.
    The listner status is up and the listener works

    little confusion here, are you trying to tnsping sql server? tnsping is an Oracle utulity.
    To acces sql server from Oracle you may use Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b14270/ch3.htm#sthref66 and Heterogeneous Connectivity - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/intro.htm#sthref33

  • 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.

  • Linking to SQL Server from Oracle 10g on 64bit Linux

    I have this working, so I thought I would post my steps.
    In versions 8 to 10 of Oracle, the software for making these connections was known as Heterogeneous Services. It was 32bit only software and the actual binary file that was executed when querying a non oracle database was $ORACLE_HOME/bin/hsodbc. When a query was made to the linked database, a process was started on the machine with the name of hsodbcXXX (where XXX is the name of the DSN).
    In version 11g of Oracle this software is now referred to as Database Gateways and there is a 64bit version as well as a 32bit version. The binary file that is executed in this case is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dg4odbc.
    Fortunately the 64bit Database Gateway software can also be used with Oracle 10g databases as long as it is up to version 10.2.03 and has the odbc compatibility patch installed. (5965763).
    To make use of this, we need to install the 11g ODBC Gateway into a separate ORACLE_HOME and start a listener from that environment. We can then make use of that listener from the 10g environment.
    So here is what I did to get this working: (Note: DSN = MyDSN)
    1.     Download and install 64bit ODBC driver with support for 64-bit ULEN from Easysoft. The file is named odbc-sqlserver-1.1.4-linux-x86-64-ul64.tar. You'll need to email Easysoft support for the URL. Create the DSN entry as part of the install. At the end of the process it can test the DSN. The query should come back with info about the SQL Server. Test the connection using isql from the /opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin directory to verify that it works as well (/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin/isql –v MyDSN). Note, I installed easysoft driver under /opt rather than the /usr/local which is the default. /usr/local/easysoft is a symlink to /opt/easysoft.
    2.     Install ODBC gateway via the 11g Gateways installer. You can do a custom install and deselect all but the ODBC Gateway component. (http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/linux.x64_11gR1_gateways.zip)
    3.     Create a /home/oracle/11g_environment.sh script that sets 11g ORACLE_HOME, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. It should look something like this:
    #set ORACLE ENV vars for 11g
    ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1 # (assuming that is where ODBC Gateway was installed)
    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/lib
    export ORACLE_HOME
    export PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    4.     Create $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initMyDSN.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora, and $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora under 11g structure. They are as follows:
    initMyDSN.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=MyDSN
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
    HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME=MyDSN.trc

    #set ODBCINSTINI=/etc/odbcinst.ini
    #set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/lib
    #set PATH=$PATH:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin/
    # Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
    #set <envvar>=<value>
    listener.ora
    MyDSN =

    MyDSN =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
    (HS=OK)
    5.     Add another entry for MyDSN in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora so tnsping works in 10g environment as well.
    MyDSN =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
    (HS=OK)
    *** Notice that the MyDSN listener runs on a different port (1522) as it is a separate listener.
    6.     Login to machine as user oracle and source the 11g environment script. “source ~/11g_environment.sh”. Now start the listener. “cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin”. “./lsnrctl start MyDSN”.
    7.     Login to a new shell as user oracle with a 10g environment.
    8.     Run sqlplus and create the database link. “CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SQLSERVER connect to “<someuser>” IDENTIFIED BY “<somepass>” USING ‘MyDSN’;”
    9.     test the link. “select * from information_schema.tables@SQLSERVER;”
    If it is successfull, you should see a system process named "dg4odbcMyDSN".

    So what have you found out for yourself so far (considering the solution to this is easily found on the web)?
    Have you looked up Heterogeneous Services?

  • Outer join query for SQL server from Oracle

    Hi All,
    My question is regarding making queries from Oracle to SQL Server database thorugh DBLink.
    In my oracle database I have a DBLink emp.world for SQL Server database.
    I need to query SQL Server data from oracle (so that this query can be combined with other oracle tables).
    Query is given below:
    SELECT
            a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
            a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"
            b."EmpSub" as "Employee Subjects"
    FROM
            [email protected] a
            left outer join [email protected] b on a."EmpID" = b."suEmpID"
    ORDER BY  a."EmpID";My problem is when I run the same query from oracle, it does not show the EmpID that does not exist in Subjects table, but when run from actual SQL Server database, it shows all the records.
    Samples are given below:
    Run from Oracle
    Employee ID      Employee Status     Employee Subjects
    101                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Physics
    104                   Inactive                  Chemistry

    101                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Physics
    103                 Active                       NULL
    104             Inactive            ChemistryI am not sure why in oracle outer join for SQL server tables is not working. What is the right way for outer join in this case.
    I am using oracle database 10gR2 and SQL Server 2005.
    Please Help.
    Thanks.

    SELECT
    a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
    a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"

    From your description, it appears you may need a right outer join. You want to get back all the rows from 'B', not from 'A'. Try a right join and let us know.

  • Connecting ms sql server from oracle using db link

    There are 2 gateway - the commercial Database Gateway for Ms SQl Server which requires a license and the Database Gateway for ODBC which is for free. The license for DG4ODBC is included in your database license. You only need to install a suitable ODBC driver on your Linux box (for example use the MS SQl Server ODBC driver for Linux - details can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36437 ). and then configure the gateway using the My Oracle Support Note:

  • Accessing SQL Server from Oracle

    I found an article:
    http:www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661
    It shows how to setup a connection from Oracle to SQL Server.
    I am new to Oracle Using SQL Loader and PL/SQL.
    I would like to use the SQL Loader in Oracle to load a table in SQL Server. It is my understanding that a ctl file is used and is called by an Oracle application.
    I would not have an Oracle application. I would like to use the ctl file to load the SQL Server table. Can someone point me on how to use the ctl file for SQL Server?
    Also, in PL/SQL would there be a connection string to connect to SQL Server when accessing a table.
    Is there a book or some documentation that would address the above?
    Thanks in Advance.

    that article shows you how to access SQL Server database through Oracle, therefore you have no need to use SQL Loader to load data from SQL Server bcos it can be queried directly by using simple select statement.
    If you want to load the data into Oracle just use CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...
    in PL/SQL, what you need is the database link.

  • Accessing SQL Server from ORACLE using Transparent Gateway

    So I had downloaded the gateway installer and was following the guide here to set up the Transparent Gateway for SQL Server: http://www.orafusion.com/art_orahs.htm
    After I had created the database link, I was prompted the following error when trying to do a simple select statement from the SQL Server DB:
    >
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
    12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
    *Cause:    A connection to a database or other service was requested using
    a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
    be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
    configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
    net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
    naming method repository, or the repository could not be
    located or reached.
    *Action:  
    - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
    - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
    (SQLNET.ORA)
    - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
    directory and is accessible.
    - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
    exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
    file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
    in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
    - If you are using directory naming:
    - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
    NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
    (SQLNET.ORA).
    - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
    accessible.
    - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
    connect identifier is configured in the directory.
    - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
    specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
    as the connect identifier
    - If you are using easy connect naming:
    - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
    NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
    (SQLNET.ORA).
    - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
    are correct.
    - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.

    Hi kgronau,
    >
    After changing a listener.ora file you need to STOP and START the listener to get the changes loaded. It looks like your listener is not serving the 1524 port which could be related to the fact that you didn't stop/start the listener after you've edited the listener.ora file.
    ... But as stated earlier - please do not use a 10.2 listener to start an 11g gateway. Instead configure the listener of the gateway home.
    >
    I did restart my listener under services.msc whenever I make the changes but there are no effect. Please also note that I can only find "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener" under my services.msc. There is no 11.2 Listener. I did install the gateway and the installation was successful as far as I can tell. But perhaps because there's no 11.2 Listerner under my services.msc, could that mean it was a bad installation?
    >
    Next point is the tnsping you've used is 11.2. You need to make sure that you use the tnsping of the Oracle Database home as the database initiates the gateway connection so the database home tnsnames,ora needs the tns entry for the gateway.
    >
    My current PATH environment variables setting is as follow: C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\tg_1\bin;C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin; So perhaps, I just need to ensure the 10.2 ORACE home is the first?

  • Connect Sql Server From Oracle Both on Windows

    I want to connect my SQL Server running on Windows2003 with my oracle database 10g which is also on windows through some odbc which i have also created on my machine running oracle 10g. Can some one guide me with simple steps.

    Generally most folks use OLEDB rather than ODBC for that.
    If you have Metalink access, check out the following note:
    Note.191368.1 Ext/Pub How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB:
    Hope it helps,

    I know there are several threads available to this post but please help me in
    *step by step process to follow in connecting 2 servers.
    I tried everything in internet but got Connection closed error after tnsping of DNS name. Do i need to run any instance sort of thing in SQL server?
    I dont have any access on SQL server.Whatever i have to do that has to be only in Oracle server.I got all those information and created ODBC (using SQL server driver) and tested the connection successfully in Oracle server. Altered INIT*.ORA,TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA but when pinging TNS awfully getting the afore said error.
    My environment : Oracle 11g server - SQL server 2008 ( both in windows platform).
